FoxOne uses different APIs, authenticates against a completely different service, and pulls a different stream. Even though the end result of both is that the 4k feed plays they are playing from different playlists.
It has been rock solid for me as well for both Fox 4k and FS1 4K throughout the world cup.
Which source do I add to CHDVR to get the Fox 4k events? Normal, Event Channels or Linear.
Linear. The Fox and FS1 channels both switch to 4k automatically when it is available.
That's awesome, thank you
Just want to see if this is normal behavior. When watching a 4K broadcast from FS1, Channels stats show the native resolution at 4K but scales it back to 1080. When I record, it records at 4K resolution per recording details. I'm assuming the playback will be 4K".
Client is FireTV Cube 3rd Generation.
That is normal on android based devices. It says it is is scaled to 1080 no matter what the resolution of the video is. That is because the info screen is being scaled to 1080, not the actual video.
See: Channels says "Scaled Resolution: 1920 x 1080" for a 4k stream on a 4k TV
I enabled UHD/HDR events in Fox One but am still just getting 720p for Cup. But I didn't bounce the container after I enabled the flag, so I just did that. We'll see tonight. Y'all just have UHD on and Only 4K off? Because I want the mix of both and that used to work long ago for Fox Sports events.
Last night's game was 720p for whatever reason. They are generally 4K.
Was on 4K here. I’ve had one instance the other day that it picked my OTA tuner over the Container feed. Had to back out and reselect to get the 4K feed.
I got nothing in 4K the whole weekend, but I didn't turn on the flag until sometime Saturday.
I haven't watched all the games but all the ones I have were 4K (not the FS1 ones).
Last night was the first one that I noticed that wasn't.
Post on here during the game and I/we can check.
Watching Spain and Portugal right now, 720p. I'm definitely using the container for local Fox.
720/60 here.
It was coming in as 4K here
Got 4K on the Pregame show
Yeah I got 4K on the live pregame show too, but when I exited out to guide and went back into the actual recording later it reverted back to 720p. And if I cancel and restart the recording it still shows as 720p.
So it looks like it's demand-based.
Game on 4K -no issues
It seems to be random to me, both games Tuesday were 4K after I changed the pass to start a couple minutes early but yesterday the game was 720p. Go figure.
One thing I've noticed is that even with 4K it doesn't look all that great, there's not a lot of sharpness to it. It's not tremendously better than 720p to me.
Anyone else having trouble with FS1 from Fox One in EPlusTV? FS1 has not worked for me for the last few days. It was working fine earlier (e.g. the earlier stages of World Cup when there were live games on FS1). Now I get the "Connect Lost. Streaming to the tuner failed. Press play to try again. M3U: EPlusTV: Error Getting Content" message. I've tried re-doing the token/credential process, etc, but no luck. Fox, FS2, B1G, etc all work great. Just FS1 with issues.
Try bouncing the container and then Rebuild EPG
