Screen resolution not always changing to 4K from Full HD GUI

    My system is setup to a GUI with 1920x1080p @ 120HZ.

    When I play a movie the refresh rate will change to match the framerate. It should also change the resolution to 4K when I play a movie. In some cases it does and in some cases it doesn't. I have multiple movies that change correctly and multiple that don't change correctly.

    I played the movie 'Fast Charlie' first (time: 2024-02-24 16:16:52.425). That resolution did not change. Then I played 'The Holdovers' (time: 2024-02-24 16:17:08.703), that resolution does change. Both 4K HDR movies.


    I'm using this machine: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005005234838380.html. Directly connected with HDMI1 to my LG C1 tv. Sound output goes directly to my marantz receiver on HDMI2

    It probably has something to-do with the media height being outside match parameters in code. The first (working) media is normal 2160p while the second (non-working) is 1592p. I'd expect that if you re-encode the file to a 2160p resolution (adding black bars) the resolution will match whitelist entries and play correctly. I'm not aware of any other remedy..

    I don't have anything in my whitelist and re-encoding is not an option for me. You would say, that if a resolution is pretty close to a certain resolution, in this case 4K, then the resolution would change to 4K.
