Kodi Add-ons that have 4K Ultra HD Movie Links

4K Ultra HD Movie Links, Where Can I Find Them


This article will provide a list of current Kodi Add-ons that supply links to 4K Ultra HD also known as Ultra High Definition or UHD. Before we get started, it is important to understand what 4K Resolution is and what devices should be used.



What is 4K Ultra HD?


4K Ultra-HD is about Four times the resolution of an 1080p (HD) TV. The screen resolution is 3840 x 2160, or 2160p vs what most TV sets still have, which is just 1920 x 1080p. A 4K television displays about 8 million pixels. Without boring you all, here is an excellent article from Wikipedia that breaks down 4K much better than I could. So read at your leisure, it’s not long but well written and can be found here.


Movie Quality keeps getting better. Because 4K is still a relatively new visual medium for movies, you can find a small number of 4K streams available through different Kodi add-ons. The best Kodi add-ons for 4K movies are actually some that you may already have installed.


There are a few Kodi add-ons that either offer 4K movies, or offer the potential for them. What “the potential” means is that those add-ons mention 4K movies somewhere in the add-on — either in the settings on in the menu options. Some popular examples of these “Potential” Add-ons are Elysium, Fantastic, Gurzil,  etc.

The “Potential” add-ons in their Tools or Settings allow you to set the Max Resolution to search/scrape, so it would be fruitless to set that higher than 1080p if it might find a 4K link. This may also slow down the search for your Movie if it has to find a potential 4K link. I have all of mine set no higher than 1080p.



What Device is best to watch 4K Movies ?


Lets begin with what should you be viewing it on first. Obviously you would need to have a 4K Resolution TV. Without one you will never enjoy the full impact that the 4K TV and signal will provide, it’s like owning a Lamborghini but you have 4 cycle Engine installed. Looks nice in your Driveway, but doesn’t quite live up to expectations when you start it up.


The Device with Kodi/SPMC/Fork installed must be 4K Compatible. A very popular device is the Nvidea Shield but one of the most expensive. Then there is The Amazon Fire TV, it supports 1080p and 4K Ultra HD for great picture quality and much less expensive. What ever you decide on, make sure it is capable of handling a 4K stream. Do your Homework and Research the devices you’re interested in. As great as the Nvidia Shield is, low cost Android TV Boxes have began to catch up to its hardware.


Lets not forget about those that use a PC desktop or a Laptop Computer, these can obviously handle 4K Streams.

This is the Current list of Kodi Add-ons with links to 4K Ultra HD. While unpredictable at times, this list will be updated as needed.



The Result

Here is an example of an HD 1080p movie from Real Movies Add-on. Of course viewing these photos on a larger screen will enable one to see the significant differences, but there are some areas that will stand out here.


4 k ultra hd


Here is the same Movie, from the same source Real Movies, but it is a 4K Ultra HD stream. Compare the detail shown in both photos of the left side of the space craft. Details found in the 4K photo are much sharper and cleaner than the 1080p. That is due to the amount of Pixels, 8 Million, with 4K streams. An unexpected Bonus with 4K Ultra HD streams is the quality of the Audio. This will add a new dimension to your viewing pleasure if you own a Home Theater System.



IN CONCLUSION


Various sites claim that 4K Ultra HD as the Creme de la Creme to view on Kodi. Having the proper equipment is a must.  Price and Budget will have a significant part in allowing you to actually view 4K TV. Prices are coming down on a monthly basis everywhere. If your ISP service is “buffering” with 1080p stream, 4K is 4 x 1080. That is a lot of data that needs to pushed to your device. Ethernet connection is almost a must as WiFi signals will struggle to send the stream. Be aware of add-ons that advertise 4K Ultra HD streams in place of upscaled 1080p. Typically 4K streams require a 25-100 Mbps. If your service fails to reach the lowest speed, you will have difficulties trying to view.


We hope this article has given you an insight to what 4K Ultra HD has to offer, if you have any further questions, please join us in the forum. http://ares-project.uk .

Using TMDb and Alluc API Codes in Kodi Add-ons

Using TMDb / Alluc Codes Together Before explaining how to link your TMDb api code with Alluc code, why does anyone need the code ? When the Add-on Elysium became the “go to” add-on as an alternative to Covenant, the Devs added the api Code. Consequently TMDb began cancelling each new api code generated by the Developers as it was viewed as “abuse of the code”.  As a result the Developers spent more time generating a new code instead of improving the add-on itself. The Solution was to allow each user to generate their own personal IMDb Api code and enter it themselves. Generating your own TMDb Code While other groups were providing a solution, Ares Project Forum had taken it a step further by providing a Blog that gave a more detailed method that others had missed. In addition to generating a TMDb code, you will also need a Alluc code. This can be found by following this link . Add-ons Currently Utilizing both Codes The above list will be updated as ...

WiFi Settings & Tweaks for Kodi

I thought I’d cover the one of the most talked about issues in the world of streaming and thats WiFi and how to get the best out of it, practical measures and not some of the voodoo you read on some forums! What is WIFi? The term Wi-Fi refers specifically to the IEEE 802.11 set of standards for wireless networks. Several different standards are designated by a letter suffix on the 802.11, such as in 802.11g or 802.11n. In general all of the 802.11 standards operate on either a 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio frequency. 5GHz has much greater speed capability but a reduced range; generally speaking the lower a frequency the further it will travel, so don’t expect miracles if you switch to 5GHz. A key thing to note here is that if ANY device uses the older “b” standard then ALL devices *could* have their speed reduced to 11mbps on “g” networks, depending on your router. This really applies to older equipment or cheap equipment with old parts used in it *cough* t...

Updating Your Add-ons and Repositories in Kodi

Updating Add-ons / Repositories Updating your list of Add-ons and Repositories is the best way to ensure Kodi is functioning properly. Rather than checking, many newcomers think it’s better to just Uninstall the Add-on/Repo and reinstall it again. Totally unnecessary for many reasons. Consider this, if your vehicle runs out of fuel, would you replace it with another of the same make and model ? Of course not, you would find a way to fill it with fuel and carry on. Therefore, updating the Add-ons/Repos is like refueling your vehicle. This is another topic in our continuing effort to help the newcomers/beginners to the world of Kodi. You can view many more Blogs on a wide assortment of helpful topics here at Ares-Project Blog . Updating Repositories Rather than send an update for a single add-on that may be in a repo, the Dev will send one for the entire repo. It faster, more convenient and above all it saves time. Yet how do you know if your repo is up to date? Here are two exampl...

Kodi Dlna Client and Server Setup for Krypton

What is Dlna ? WHAT IS DLNA? The term DLNA stands for “Digital Living Network Alliance”. It is the industry standard for sharing network data combined with “Universal Plug and Play Audio Visual(UPnP). This option can be used to share your media libraries from one device to another. If you have a PC or Kodi Box for your Tv, you can share its media contents.  Other Smart TVs, Game Consoles, Phones, etc. to name a few. It is recommended that you backup Kodi before continuing in case you wish to restore your Kodi settings at a later date. A Kodi UPnP server/media can stream its content to other devices on the same network by using UPnP and DLNA protocols. HOW TO ENABLE DLNA ON KODI? For this article, I used a clean version of Krypton 17.6. If you are using a Build, this is typically found by selecting System, then System again.
