I've recently been wondering something; in the Kodi settings, I can only select 1920x1080. Now, I've read that this only concerns the UI, and that 4K content will still be displayed in actual 4K.
However, on the Kodi wiki I see that by pressing Z, I can see the display info for the current file. The second line of the resulting output shows information about sizing. This is the example the wiki gives:
"Information about the output display of the video stream(720,576)->(1920,1080) = (Resolution of video)->(Output resolution) Reveals any upscaling or downscaling. The example shows upscaling by Kodi and your TV may further upscale. eg in this example a 4K TV will upscale from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160."
Now, for me, when I press Z while playing a 4K file, it says (3840, 2160) -> (1920, 1080). So this seems to indicate that it is not playing in native 4K, but is downscaling to 1080p? Is this correct? If so, how do I fix this?
I am running the original Android 6 008FW. Also, I do have the resolution set to 4K in the Android system settings, so that's not the issue
