No 4K on Panasonic Viera TX-50DXW784

[tomadick]

Hello,

I'm new at UMS, I used XBMC / Kodi for many years. Yesterday I bought my Panasonic Viera TX-50DXW784.

The Panasonic Viera renderer is used:
07:43:10 INFO Reloading renderer configuration: renderers\Panasonic-Viera.conf

Everything with UMS works fine, with the ecxeption of watching 4K movies (rar packed mkv's) in 4K - they are rendered to HD. How can I avoid that?

Hello,

From inside your DefaultRenderer.conf, file you could read the following:

# The maximum width and height supported by the renderer. 0 means unlimited.
# Both must be 0, or both must be higher than 0.
# Defaults: 1920 and 1080
MaxVideoWidth =
MaxVideoHeight =

So, just add these 2 lines in your renderer configuration file:

Code: Select all

MaxVideoWidth = 3840
MaxVideoHeight = 2160

That's said, using the default Viera renderer as you do, is not the best way for you to get the most of your TV possibilities. At least you should select/force an other renderer (like Panasonic CX700) with more similar specifications as your, IMO.

Hi tomadick,

Please let us know if adding those lines allow the 4k video to work and I will make you a better device profile and put it in the next UMS release
