GT King cannot play HDR video neither standard 4k

chairtmin

Hello,

I have recently bought LG OLED TV 65BX. I have Belling GT King B922 with latest firmware 912P0 (I have also tried latest Alvatec firmware and Coreelec).

When I play 4k video from HDD, USB stick or from youtube, I see green or black fragments in the video, mostly on bright or fast moving objects.
It looks the same, as when I try to play the same video from my old computer, which does not support 4k HDR playback.
I have tried different firmwares and video players (VLC, Kodi, different youtube versions), changing all possible settings 1 by 1 on TV and on player, but it just does not work.


When I play the same video files from LG's internal player, it plays perfectly all of them.

Does anyone have the same issues?

Video formats, which failed to play were standard 4k, 4k HDR, 1080p HDR. 60 fprs, HDR10.

I am using HDMI 2.1 to connect to TV and for that port is HDR on (I get the HDR icon, when I start GT King).


Yesterday I made the fresh installation of latest firmware, kodi and youtube.

Any advice, what should I try?

Thank you.

Check first if your tv box is on Arc output of your tv and change it if it is!
Second disable all the digital filters of your tv including any motion filters!
And one last thing...
''Play'' with the color depth and color space settings !
So , do the tests and feedback the results!
Good luck!

Hi, thank you. I turned off every filter on the tv, but I cannot change color depth option on the box.
It is greyed out and set to off. Color space is set to YCbCr444.
Youtube video playback is still the same.

Did you check your tv box with another tv?
Have you tasted Smart Youtube?
Have you tasted MX PLAYER?
Have you tasted and other HDMI cables?
Since i also have the b922 and i don't have the same issues on my Sony 4k tv i assume it has something to do with your tv!
So check again one by one all these again because probably you miss something!
Maybe needs some kind of combination in tv settings to ''fix'' this issue!
Good luck!

I tried different cables and apps. Also all ports on the tv. It os not issue woth the tv,as connected PS 4 Pro can play all videos in 4K HDR too. It is totally the box. So do you say,you can play 4k hdr video?
Have you enabled the option color depth or color space? Can you change them?

As i told you in my tv i have not these problems at all ... !
I use Smart Youtube which is using Exoplayer and MX Player & Kodi for all the rest !
It's definitely something to do with your tv as i said !
Can you able to try it and on another tv ?
Then you will see if it's something to do with your tv box or not !

I have some update. I tried smart youtube and I can play 4k videos, but not HDR.

I have no chance to try it on other tv, but I bought different tv box (different brand) just to test HDR.

And it was working great, also as I said, I can play HDR videos with PS4 Pro, so problem is not in my TV.

However the new box has big software issues, so I will return it back to shop.

I would like to keep beelink GT King, if this issue will be solved.


My guess is that 2020 LG's OLED TV's are not supported in the last Beelink's firmware.
Maybe they changed something HDR related.

I found on the internet some comment about this issue with 2019's LG Oled TV.

So maybe it does not work on all LG OLED TV's in general?



Can someone from Beelink check it, please?
