How to change screen resolution? #14

Open mbreskovec opened 6 years ago

Hello, resolution of KODI is set to 1280x740 and it is not possible change it from GUI - option is grey. So, how to change resolution to proper 1920x1080.

KODI has been installed for the first time on old HD Ready TV, so it probably remembering setting from there.

Stem Link is set to 1920x1080 properly.

I believe all native apps are forced at 720p. See https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steamlink-sdk/issues/62

However, according to reddit videos are still 1080p. See https://www.reddit.com/r/kodi/comments/5lkn2b/fyi_native_kodi_now_mostly_working_on_the_steam/

I can confirm that videos (which are 1080p) are really 1080p (although the UI is 720p) (*)

Maybe the documentation should reflect on this a bit more, now the information is not there to be found!

Also, as a related note - can the Steam Link (KODI) change refresh rate? That would be a really usefull (or mandatory) feature for any serious video player.

Cheers!

*) OT, but: Nearly everything I tried to play stutters so much that KODI on Steam Link is essentially useless ATM.
