    SKY Q 4K UHD TV - any decent software for watching UHD video


    Hi there

    I've seen some Olympic Games and English Premier league football in 4K with a colleagues SKY Q box --brilliant -- makes the old 1080i look a bit like standard DVD on a reasonably sized TV. (48 inch or bigger).

    Any stand alone software to stream UHD content to a UHD TV (PLEX only supports a limited 4K subset for streaming). Note Chromecast dongles --don't even THINK about it !!!!! although knowing google they should get their act together if there is demand.

    Mind you the current crop of movies (all seem to be re-boot 47 or so of an old series --not much new !!) so it might be a while - but I'm sure if Hollywood can get its act together and release some brand new movies (c'mon writers out there - give us something new - not the same old series that has been re-jigged for its 97th incarnation).

    Any chance also of some UHD recording and re-ripping software - would have to be minimum of 2160 X 3180 and if eventually 8K - but you'd need a screen the size of a HOUSE to make that worth while (7680 X 4320). Beware if you have capped download limits and you want to stream this sort of stuff -- I think Netflix is rolling out some decent 4K UHD stuff soon.

    There's Limited support for plex but not much yet

    From the Plex forums :

    Vizio TV, 4K limited to H265. Why? — Plex Forums

    BTW 3D TV was a real dog and deserved to die - nobody wants to wear those stupid glasses etc - but proper 4K UHD is in a totally different league.

    Cheers

  2. Dell Laptop Touch Screen Glitches after Watching Video in Microsoft Movies & Video App

    The hardware on the device is capable of handling and playing a 4K UHD video. I can stream the very same videos via a browser once uploaded to YouTube in UHD without this issue. I can also watch the same videos using Adobe Premiere without this issue. The
    issue only occurs when viewing the video using Microsoft's Movies & TV software. Incidentally, Microsoft Windows Media Player works without issue as well.

    I also recorded a video in 1080P and have the same issue using Microsoft Movies & TV.

    I guess the ultimate solution is not to use your Movies & TV software to view videos.

  3. Dell Laptop Touch Screen Glitches after Watching Video in Microsoft Movies & Video App

    Okay - this is a strange one. It started happening after I tried to watch videos in my newly acquired DJI drone. The videos are 4K UHD. I have not had this issue playing any other file. While watching - completely at random - the touchscreen will start to
    glitch. I can see "impressions" on the screen as if I'm touching it. It will select applications at random. If I'm lucky enough to get the Task Manager open and shut down Movies & Videos, the behavior still continues. I have to hard power down the machine.

    Any ideas?
