@Sam:
does the “8-Bit-Bug” of 10Bit-Content exist on all HDR-Devices?
Thanks + BR
Peter
No – it appears to only affect a subset of devices.
Ok, thanks for reply;-)
Hi sam,
Thanks for the good work. I just received my vero 4k and tried to playback the “Rogue One” (4K.HDR.10bit.BT2020.Chroma.422.Edition.DTS.HD) on it with my old Samsung 1080p TV. Unfortunatly it did not start to play, it keeps restarting the buffer spinner.
The journalctl -f has those lines:

Should it be possible to playback a 4K HDR movie on a 1080p non-HDR TV?
My rawedid of the tv is the following:

Hi
Kodi logs might help here.
Are other videos playing as expected?
Do you have a 4K TV to try this on?
Sam
Hi!
Kodi.log is as follows (video is started via File-Explorer mkv over NFS share via wired ethernet)

Unfortunatly i do not have any 4K TV here at the moment.
I downloaded other videos at demo-uhd3d.com - Ce site web est à vendre ! - Ressources et information concernant demo uhd3d Resources and Information. (eg NASA & world in hdr/4k) and they played as expected.
Please upload a debug log (see the Wiki)

Check that rip. If everything else plays as expected, I’d be inclined to blame the clip.
Sam
I just checked another one “The Martian” which worked ok with the following specs:
Codec: HEVC
Profile: Main 10
Level: 150
Resolution: 3840x1600
Aspect ratio: 2.40:1
Anamorphic: No
Interlaced: No
Framerate: 23.97602
Bitrate: 49176 kbps
Pixel format: yuv420p10le
Ref frames: 1
The previous file (which did not work) had this specs:
Codec: HEVC
Profile: Rext
Level: 150
Resolution: 3840x1608
Aspect ratio: 2.40:1
Anamorphic: No
Interlaced: No
Framerate: 23.97602
Bitrate: 46234 kbps
Pixel format: yuv422p10le
Ref frames: 1
Maybe it is because of the Pixel Format (4:2:2 vs 4:2:0) or the profile (Rext vs Main 10).
Any other file that I tried from demo-uhd3d.com - Ce site web est à vendre ! - Ressources et information concernant demo uhd3d Resources and Information. had also HVEC Profile Main 10 and yuv420p10le.
Cheers
Hello, so I have a vizio p75 TV, with yamaha reciever that only does 4k passthrough but not HDR.
In this set up, and with this player, what do I need to make sure in my chain to have proper display of HDR content?
Right now I have couple of popcorns and a neo u1, which does 4k but not HDR…
please advise
HDMI 2.0a is needed for HDR. I suspect your AV receiver is HDMI 2.0 compliant but not HDMI 2.0a.
The device Vero 4K is directly connected to, be it an AV receiver or a display needs to support HDMI 2.0a for HDR to work correctly
I hope this clears things up
Thanks Sam, and I am assuming this vero will not be able to connect to the TV for video and reciever for audio?
You could do this:
HDMI to TV
Optical to receiver
But this won’t allow passthrough of HD audio
Sam
I’m a very satisfied Vero 4K owner.
I went through different kinds of problems which were not necessarily the fault of this device.
I recommend to buy at least one HDMI 2.0 certified cable even if an HDMI 1.4 cable will do the job in most of cases.
Playing 4K files over the network will require to get enough bandwidth to stream enough bit-rate and and enough buffer memory size to avoid repeated cache operations. (edit advancedsettings.xml)
I was able to playback an 2160P/60 file very smoothly or play lager files despite of a slow PCL adapter.
Be aware some video files won’t playback well due to some crappy encoding or lack of compatibility outside VLC.
HDR works with my Samsung 55Js9000 and DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD
Thanks !
Yeah… then that wouldnt work.
So i need an upgrade on the reciever as well.
Ugh…
192Khz output should now be available in the next update (available imminently). I believe you have already tested this.
