Does anyone know if there is a way for Kodi on FTV2 to upscale all content to 4K?

But many owners of the original Fire TV have been sideloading Kodi for nearly 2 years meaning it is not really a big deal to continue doing so.

I do apologize if I am posting in wrong section.
Having 3 Sticks running for more than year (around 15 months). Is there .apk plug for you tube add on? I have been looking around for a while but could not find it. All 3 sticks are side loaded.
2 are running on 15.2 and 3rd one on 16.0
I do not need to be spoon feed, just point me at right direction.
Thanks in advance

You don't need a .apk for youtube to sideload. The Youtube app is directly available (for free) at the Amazon app store. I guess you should find it on the FireTV stick in the apps section and download it from there.

When using Kodi 15 on Fire TV 2 and a pluggin on Kodi wants to download a text file....where is that text file going to download to? Is there an option to use the USB or microSD card?

That was a good info but not what I was asking for.

I am looking for a plugin in .apk app or any other way to upgrade you-tube on KODI

I don't see any reason why you can't run the regular Firetv YouTube app from within kodi.

Hey everybody,
I am new to fireTV(4K).. I've side loaded Kodi but it keeps quitting after maybe 10-15 Minutes, e.g. If I let it play music. This is extremely annoying. Any idea where to dig to find out what's going on?
Thank you!

well, i have to admit, thats a good point ;-) sorry!
The only Error i can find in the logs is this:
it repeats a couple of times either with SSL or HTTPS all coming from ssl_.py:120 or :315.
This is also the last entry in the log. I've just discovered that i did not activate the "allow 3rd party apps" setting before sideloading Kodi. Might this be related?
Thx & cheers!

1080p .264 hi10p content:
Old FTV: plays barely, not watchable.
New FTV: 95% there. Though even when Kodi reports no frame drops/skips, it still appears to be juddery.
Hey all,
could someone please comment on 1080p hi10p content now? Has it come along further?
Thanks

Ok, i've uninstalled Kodi (keeping the settings), allowed 3rd party apps and reinstalled it using adbFire. still after a bit more than 10 minutes Kodi quits and i am returned to FireTV's homescreen.
This time i activated "debug" and the logs can be found here:

Help would be highly appreciated!
Cheers,
Tom

It's CPU accelerated and will never change. So big box or no joy.
Edit: I saw your "95%" just now - try with kodi v17 - this ships ffmpeg 3.0.1 and if there were decoder optimizations -> you could perhaps get your 5%
