i received my Rock64 2G yesterday and managed to install android TV on the device without problems.
After i connected it to my TV (capable of 3840 x 2160 resolution) i hoped to be able to use this resolution, but android settings shows only 1920 x 1080 and no solution above this is selectable.
How can i get 4K Resolution to work with android tv?
The main target is to use the Rock64 as a Kodi Streaming Client for my TV connected to a TVHeadend/Movie Server. If there's a better solution for this than Android as the OS im also open for alternatives
I apppreciate any help; thanks in advance!
There is a difference in the buffer and GUI resolutions. In short, GUI on android will stay at 1080p but 4K will play back in actual 4K. If I understand correctly, only RKMC will play back 4K content at actual 4K on android - while regular KODI will not.
In any case, if you don't necessarily want to use android and just want 4K playback then I encourage you to try Kwiboo's latest build of LibreELEC for the Rock64.
