Just an FYI, the 4k/HDR stream started 20 minutes late due to the prior event going into double OT.

My recording that I restarted @ 8:13 is in 4K. May be your 20 min mark is when channels retried for 4k.
I never changed the checkbox. Maybe Iām confused, I thought you fixed the issue when start recording padding is early or on time the 720 stream would be recorded for the duration of the game.

It wasn't fixed, but it is now.

Working here on my Windows machine! Thanks.
Any clue why my Nvidia Shield which is connected to a 4K TV is showing "Scaled Resolution 1920x1080"????
It seems to be working properly on my Pixel 7 Pro...
Is that the Channels app watching live? Is it the same watching the recording? Have you tried another player like Kodi or VLC?
Scaled resolution can be ignored on android
Yes using the Channels app and watching live. I did not try another player on the Shield.
On my phone, the 4K FS1 channel didn't play very smooth. Playback would hiccup and stutter quite a bit. I tried tuning the same 4K FS1 channel in Emby (using Channels DVR as the back tuner) and it seemed very smooth. Not sure why the difference in playback between the Channels player and Emby player?

Based on my photo am I getting 4K playback from the Shield? If not, how do I fix it?

Is 4k still working with this? It worked for me earlier this year but I haven't tried in quite a while. I saw there's some soccer matches in 4k so I was curious to see if it's still working but it doesn't seem to be. I'm at 720 for the Guatemala v. Cuba match on now.
I'm curious if anyone else is having issues or is it just me?
Try reloading. That match is playing in 4K hdr for me.
Great thanks I'll test it tonight
What exactly does that mean? The USMNT plays tonight on FS1 at 9:30 in "4K", and it would be nice to have it working in Channels at 4K. I tried one of the 4K USFL games as a test a few weeks back and it only recorded at 720. I toggled the 4K buttton in the web settings but I only ended up with a 720 pic.
"Recording" 4K can be problematic, because most recordings (by default) start slightly early, or on-time. The FS1 4K feed usually starts late, and once you open the TVE stream (when the recording fires), it won't renegotiate up to 4K.
Try starting it a few mins late, or manually once you successfully connect to the show "live"

By reloading I mean exit out of the channel and relaunch the channel. Basically as @hancox mentioned above if you tune to FS1 before they start broadcasting in 4K it will stay at 720.

For the US v. Jamaica Gold Cup match the 4K broadcast started about 10 minutes before scheduled match time per my HDHR Prime recording
Has anyone compared the Fox 4K broadcast of the Woman's World Cup vs Peacock's (Spanish). Sorry if this is a bit off topic.
