Unable to Change Video Settings to 4K

[SrLPZ]

I am experiencing an issue with the application where I am unable to change the video settings to 4K resolution.

Currently, the application only provides options for video settings up to a maximum resolution of 1080p. There is no option to select 4K resolution, which is disappointing, as my device supports 4K playback.

I am using the "youtube.leanback.v4_1.1.7_arm.ipk"

Hi, On the official Youtube application are you able to run it for 4K video ? This application is only custom browser and behind it is always using https://www.youtube.com/tv It is possible the configuration is a little different between the IPK for my TV (65G1) and your IPK. Can you try obtain the IPK used by your TV and patching it by following https://github.com/GuillaumeSmaha/youtube-webos-cobalt#patching-your-ipk ?

Also if you can sent here your IPK, I could take a look to it.

Hi, the TV is an LG C2 and with the official application I can put the content in 4k without a problem.

As for extracting the youtube ikp from my TV, I don't know how I can do it. Could you give me more details?

Thank you so much!

My process to get it is not simple: I am connecting with SSH to the TV and run this command:

while true; do cp /media/cryptofs/tmp/youtube.leanback.v4/youtube.leanback.v4.ipk /tmp; done

Then, I uninstall and reinstall the official Youtube App. The IPK file will download into /media/cryptofs/tmp/, so at some point, the previous command will copy it to /tmp. Once the app is installed, you can stop the previous command with Ctrl+C and you should have this file /tmp/youtube.leanback.v4.ipk on your TV

Greetings. I downloaded the latest official version of youtube 1.1.44, but when I try to patch it I get the error: File "libcobalt.so" is not present in your IPK. This patch is not compatible with your IPK version. make: *** [Makefile:122: workdir/ipk/content/app/cobalt/content/web/adblock] Error 1 Using the ls-monitor command via SSH, I saw that the TV installs two ipk: youtube.leanback.v4 in the /media/cryptofs folder and cobalt.shared in the /media/system folder. I pulled out and attached both of these ipk. Will you be able to see why there is a problem with patching the new version of youtube? 2023-10-19-youtube.leanback.v4-1.1.44.zip cobalt.shared.zip

After the WebOS on the TV was updated to version 8.3.0, the installation of the Youtube client and Cobalt began to occur from one IPK.
