April 24, 20206 yr It plays 1080p movies very nice but whenever I try to play any 4K VOD (movie usually) it either does not even start it or if it starts to play the movie it freezes completely. I am kinda surprised with 4GB DDR4 Ram and a supposedly better CPU the XRS4500 is unable to handle 4K. I am wired connected with a Gig connection and have stable DL/UL of around 930 all the time. I have tried both the Default and Secondary players.

In our tests This happens because the Server isn't streaming the 4K stream fast enough So this affects playback This would explain why some users say works fine and others have issues on this thread. The 4500 has 0 issues streaming 4K, if the stream you're watching it from is encoded and streamed properly. Lots of review videos show it playing 4K HEVC 60FPS and other formats of 4K playing with ease.
April 25, 20206 yr Author I have no issues playing 4K on Youtube. That means problem is with my server.
April 25, 20206 yr c and p from a 4500 user f you want to see how good it CAN look,download some 4k media to a thumb drive & watch it on your Buzz.You will see how good theye are.The xrs has the best image I've seen yet on an iptv box..
