I'm pretty sure that his TP-LINK TL-WN727N has no Mediatek MT7601 chipset (based on a log). Different revisions of this dongle have different chipset. You can reference your post in FAQ section after correction.

Fixed. However, if all goes well, it will be obsolete in a few hours.

I uploaded new images with new Kodi 16 RC 3. I also added PVR addons.

Can someone please test MT7601U wifi dongle? I have suspicion that it won't work. If it doesn't, please also provide dmesg output.

4k video is played normaly, but it gets downscaled to whatever resolution you have. Latest images ...

Thanks for the reply.

I will try the script.bin approach and report my findings.

Do you have any plans to support 4K? May I be of assistance? I'm working on a proof of concept that requires 4K video playback using the HVEC decoder and not finding much luck on images with that configuration.

I will prepare a patch with 4K support. If your tests will pass, I will put it in my repo.

EDIT: Here is experimental 4K patch: https://mega.nz/#!UUJyyI7b!Ib061 ... HLzK3WPjxHsDLS5iOEA

Just replace the patch with the same name in projects/H3/patches/kodi You should also adapt script.bin screen0_output_mode value with one of the following values:
- 0x1c for 4K @ 30Hz
- 0x1d for 4K @ 25Hz
- 0x1e for 4K @ 24Hz

Downscaling is also disabled.

I'm looking forward to hear your results.

Thanks. I corrected the list. TP-LINK TL-WN727N is based on the Ralink rt5370 chipset.
