buzztoday Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 It plays 1080p movies very nice but whenever I try to play any 4K VOD (movie usually) it either does not even start it or if it starts to play the movie it freezes completely. I am kinda surprised with 4GB DDR4 Ram and a supposedly better CPU the XRS4500 is unable to handle 4K. I am wired connected with a Gig connection and have stable DL/UL of around 930 all the time. I have tried both the Default and Secondary players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 4k from various Iptv services using the buzz app. I also use 4k content though emby and Netflix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our tests This happens because the Server isn't streaming the 4K stream fast enough So this affects playback This would explain why some users say works fine and others have issues on this thread. The 4500 has 0 issues streaming 4K, if the stream you're watching it from is encoded and streamed properly. Lots of review videos show it playing 4K HEVC 60FPS and other formats of 4K playing with ease. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
