Your Chromebox can't handle 4K HEVC video, not the conversion to 1080p.
Any 4K capable hardware can downscale without any issues.
Thanks super helpful!
You already got the same answer 2 hours ago on the Kodi forum.
It would be nice if you actually paid attention instead of creating a similar post on the LE forum.
Far as I know I haven't violated any posting guidelines, so....yeah, relax.
I run Kodi on a Dell Chrombox 3010 that I have had for many years and has worked great. My audio receiver (Pioneer Elite SC-05) and TV (Samsung F8500) only support 1080p. Recently many videos I'm wanting to play at 2160 (4k). As I suspected, the Chromebox can't handle the conversion to 1080p and the 4k videos stutter terribly.
Is there hardware that would support 4k -> 1080p on the fly for Kodi? Being able to bitstream digital audio is also a must for me (DD, Atmos, etc.). Thanks in advance!
