Kodi media player have implemented a feature to playback video with the best frame rate matching and resolution matching.
This feature can be enabled in Kodi by:

Settings->Player->Videos->Adjust display refresh rate

Then when you play any video kodi change the refreshrate and resolution of screen to better match the video specs. and to have a fluid playback.

But this feature not works, because the current android firmware do not provide the available resolutions list
the api called by Kodi to get the resolution list is Display.getSupportedModes()
but return only the current resolution in use, so missing all the resolution supported by the TV or Amplifier connected to HDMI.


Kodi has implemented the functionality in a similar way to Firestick development instructions (so use same API):
https://developer.amazon.com/de/docs/fire-tv/4k-apis-for-hdmi-mode-switch.html

Having these android APIs working is the minimum to have a fluid playback of any video

Test performed to a Samsung 4k and a Panasonic 1080P
