Here is a quick photo I took:
Are you playing from USB hard disk or streaming from addons ? I can't get HDR to work on either options.
Please share the video setting information.

I sometimes get this feeling too, but it only seems to happen at the start of a video. After a minute or so of watching the jumps seem to disappear and everything looks smooth.
5b seems to handle the 4K material that I have a lot better thanks!
Unfortunately I don't have a box with Gbit ethernet, so I'm using a USB Gbit adapter which reaches speeds of about 200 Mbit with iperf.
This seems enough to play for example the webrips of "a certain car show" that didn't play very well on the previous beta.
What's your internet speed ? I have 40 Mbps speed but all my 4K streams stutters after 5 mins and the video bitrates were between 60-90 mbits, please share your thoughts

A USB gigabit adapter will not help with a 40 MBit/s internet connection, if you are already using the ethernet of your box.To test 4k streaming, I can suggest installing the Krypton beta, the youtube and inputstream.adaptive plugins and setting up youtube to use the inputstream plugin. If you play 4k videos from youtube, it should switch to the 4k stream (inputstream will measure the internet connection on the first try and you might have to try several videos). You can then see if your connection and kodi setup can play 4k content fine.
I have krypton latest build and my YouTube plays 4K videos just fine always , it's only when I try 4K movies to stream from addons I get stuck or stuttering playback after 5 mins of video

NFS in most cases is only over local network, I don't think you run it over internet.
Got it and that clarifies , thanks for all your great help

can someone confirm if having 40 mbs internet speed and i can still use 1 Gig USB ethernet adapter to gain more bitrate handling ?
My 4K videos stream from the addons is hanging even if i pause the video for 5 minutes or so
A build with bumped NFS chunk size to test: 7.95.beta5b
I tried this build but no noticable diffefence, maybe it has to do with internet speed, i only have 40 mbs internet connection.
Is there anything to do with the internet speed ?

ssarava9 jd17: If you can try to mount NFS as I did and report to me your results, it would be interesting to understand what's your max video bitrate that your box can sustain.I can play without problems these files (I'm testing more my wireless at this point as I have more bandwidth):

http://jell.yfish.us/media/jellyfis…4k-uhd-h264.mkvMaybe my wireless was better yesterday or I was too tired but I believe I have run this too:
jellyfish-140-mbps-4k-uhd-hevc-10bit.mkv
I can't see heavily buffering today but it seems that the GPU can't cope with it instead. Yesterday I was running Beta4a and today I'm on Beta5, maybe is there a difference?
I will try tomorrow from a USB key to see how much it can handle, but so far I'm more than happy as 120 Mbit will cover videos for a while (at least for me).PS: sorry for the no-beautiful links
I tried testing the links directly from browser in my nexbox a95 but it hangs up a lot
It's working fine from my USB though
Don't know how to mount NFS as you don't d sorry I'm not techie enough can you please explain how to mount NFS and stream 4K from all addons ?
Appreciate your help

Yes, the 4K was from a 3rd party addon that has all the latest 4K movies. It was by the off chance that I tested it. 4K movies were not streamed from my LAN. Im pretty much sure its 4K and TrueHD etc as the amp says it is, and the Kodi 'O' Key output says it too. TV I didn't have to mess with as I guess that the TV switches based on the output from the HDMI via the amp. The amp does do upscaling to 4K, however that would show up as say 1080p to 4K in the amp information panel. If its says 4K to 4K, then its already 4K input from kodi, to the amp and output to the TV. besides I wouldnt get the TrueHD either... the usual way is if its wrong is 2 channel sound, and 4K picture.
As for the addon's the hiccups do occur, however I do have a 200 Mbit internet connection, so it would depend on that and the speed of the source. It was pretty stable early this morning and daytime Friday. Busy times it may well stall and buffer due to net congestion, or the sheer number of connections to the sites for the streams.
Thanks for the details, I have only 36 Mbps and that may be some reason and video plays for 5 mins and then starts buffering

The Yam AVR shows me the settings on-screen, plus the O key shows the stream information. Ill post up some screen shots as requested shortly, using a 4K stream from the net, showing the amp input info, Kodi Audio settings etc.
[hr]4K and Kodi info attached from Screenshots..... TV is a 4K TV, no special settings made to it, just switches resolution as needed.
Thanks for the screenshot, really appreciate it.
I can see that the display setting is 1080 and adjust refresh rate off and still you are getting 4K , I will try these settings
Another question, were you able to stream 4K movies from 3rd party addons without hiccups ?

I have spent some time testing SMB/NFS with my very cheap s905x (2gb / 16 gb) and I have 100M LAN with a Wireless AC (sync at 433 Mbit, Iperf proved it at around 230 Mbit using TCP and one stream).
Based on that, just last night, I have tried files that should run flawlessly < 80 mbit over both networks and I couldn't get a decent result.
I was about to return the box in favour of a S905 with gigabit interface, when I realized where the bottleneck is.
I focused on NFS as I have a Linux machine as my NAS, but I believe the same can be applied to SMB.
So, if I use the Kodi browser to list my videos over NFS, so therefore I'm assuming I'm using its "libnfs" (I think I have seen this name somewhere), I got very disappointing results (even a 75 Mbit is breaking and caching).
However, if I mount NFS from OS, I can play files up to 140 Mbit over Wireless (jellyfish test with audio hdr 10) and almost up to 90 Mbit over LAN.
A simple test, from shell (ssh):mkdir /storage/mnt
mount [ipaddress NFS server]:[full share name like /home/nfs/share] /storage/mntYou then browse for videos as it's a local directory (/storage/mnt) and play from there
You can add later on what works for you in this script: Autostart.sh - OpenELEC
I would like to say that I didn't apply any changes to the way Kodi caches yet, so I believe there is root to improve the results.
Feel free to PM if you want more details.
I can play 4K videos from external hard disk but couldn't stream properly through network, any help appreciated

7.95 Beta5 working fine here so far on a Droibox S905X 2G/16G box. Spotify addon seems more stable, will leave it on test streaming etc all day here. CEC is working fine with Yamaha AVR RX-V679. All pass through settings available for 7.1 DTS etc working as far as I can hear. AVR remote operates via CEC all Kodi functions fine. Great work. Thanks! Any other things to check/test?Update: Running stream of Deepwater Horizon, 4K Video, 23.9 FPS, TrueHD Audio RAW to AVR, across internet, fantastic. Kodi handling on Libreelec superb. No bumps or issues.
Can you please post the video and audio settings for 4k video stream ?

Can you please post the video and audio settings in Kodi LE and your tv settings pls , for me it just freezes immediately when the stream starts , it's not buffering though as I'm using quasar

Does your TV tell you, which Bit Depth it receives via HDMI?The 2160p / BT.2020 / 10 Bit / HDR10 demos I tested work well on my M8S II too, but I don't know if there is actually 10 Bit output or if it is converted to 8 Bit...
I'm using Samsung 6300 60" and couldn't tell the signal info it just says 4K 50p

Do we have 4K 10bits support yet on latest build ? I'm facing issues playing 4K files with 10bits , it just freezes and stops the video , please someone help.

The screenshot you saw might of been dual boot of (LibreELEC and Wndows/Ubuntu...).
I don't think what you are asking is possible yet, but you might have a better answer in the Android/Amlogic section of the forum.
Got it , thanks for clarifying

Hi All,
Someone can please guide me on how to make partition in Android Nand and install LE on the Nand alongside Android OS so that both my OS is within the same disk but different partition like we do in windows with multiple OS
Workaround is already there, you always boot to LE SD card, and select boot to Android (NAND) in the power menu.
It will only work for the next reboot.
Afterwards it will revert to LE.
yes im using that but i was looking for an option before booting to give for LE and Android with the sd card plugged in, i saw a screenshot somewhere you can select the OS you want to boot to
My 7.90.beta3 build is with Kodi 17.0rc3. A build with 17.0rc4 will be available this weekend.
Thanks
