Kodi Issues

Hi All,

I just bought a Minix Neo U1 and started using it. Last night I tried to setup the latest Kodi which is 17.1.

I would like to highlight Minix doesn’t include any Addons pre-loaded with the Kodi. My previous thread was taken because apparently I’m not allowed to discuss about the 3rd party Addons. Sorry for that and I have updated my post again. Hopefully this time I’m not violating any forum rules.

1) No/Very Low Sound while playing movies

I tried to play some Videos. I can play it very fine, but sound is very low. I set the Maximum Volume in the TV still barely hear anything.

I tried the Settings -> Audio & Subtitle Settings and noticed the Following…

Quote: Volume – 0.0 dB (Slider set at Max)
Volume amplification – 0.0 dB (Slider set at Low)

When I increase the volume amplification I can hear the sound. I believe I’m missing some settings somewhere. Why Volume shows o.o when it set at Max? How do I fix this problem?

2) Live TVs not working at all

I tried many Live TV applications which are freely available. None of the TV Channels are loading. I’m seeing the following messages in all the channels I’m trying to see.

Quote:One or more items failed to play. Check the log for more information about this message.

I googled this message and people mention it’s common for this message to appear to certain channels. But in my case nothing works!

3) What is PVR Client?

I tried to fix the above LiveTV issue and went through the settings. I noticed under “MyAddons” there are lot of Addons installed under PVR clients. None of them are enabled. What is the purpose of these and why they are disabled? I doubt whether they have any connection with my Live TV issue…

4) How to set the Output Display Resolution in Kodi

I went through all the setting many times but I haven’t figure out how to set the Output display resolution. I have a 4K TV and I want to make sure I’m getting the best resolution. I understand resolution depends on source as well, but there is no setting related to this?

5) Youtube addon cannot play 4K videos. Maximum resolution I can set is 1080p.

Why it is like that? I know Youtube got lot of 4K videos and I want to play them via the YouTube addon so that I can check if Kodi really pass 4K?

Just a side question regarding this, any other way to check if Kodi really passing 4K Videos to my TV?

Thanks in advance for your time guys. I’m very new to this, so I hope someone can help me walk through it….
