I'm running Armbian Debian Stretch from Balbes and have installed Kodi 17.6, MALI7, aml-codec and ml-remote on it. Kodi works beautifully and is able to do GPU acceleration of 1080p videos. Last week I picked up a 4k TV (TCL capable of 60hz panel - lower end model) and am trying to play 4k Movie using this. If I set kodi to use 1080p and disable "Auto adjust refresh rate" so it does not change the TV resolution, then the 4k movie plays just fine as a 1080p (minimal load on Amlogic CPU). But if I enable the "Auto adjust refresh rate" so that for 4k movies, it will change the TV mode to 4k mode, then on starting playback, the Video layer of Kodi disappears completely and I see the console text that was there at the time Kodi was launched.
Has anyone successfully played 4k Video in 4k resolution using Amlogic S905's ? If no one has successfully done, then I will give up on this at this time. But if you have then please share details on the hardware and software you're running. Thanks in advance!!
