Hi I have noticed when I select 4 k settings on droidbox the film pause after a few seconds or if they do play only play in thumbnail if i change back to 1080p etc reboot works ok only noticed this after I had tried to do the OTA update but that was for T8 box only? As nothing has changed on my box Mine is a plus box
Only play in thumbnail in 4k settings

Well that's a first no replies what so ever? Sorted it anyway Changed to 4k settings turned box off count to 10 turn back on and all is ok
Was this with locally (or LAN) stored 4K video files, or online sources?
MX Player (as an example) or within Kodi?
If Kodi, let me know the version you have installed, the add-ons used and the exact entries clicked on, I'll try to replicate this end.
If you could also let us know the make and model of your 4K TV we can check for any other recorded instances.
Finally, have you tried different the different 4K modes (refresh rates) in Android's Settings? You may find that turning off auto-select and trying different 4K modes is enough to sort the issue.

I have Samsung tv series 8 model ue48js8500 it was Kodi player movie zone 123 movies most rated The Martain God's of Egypt The 5th Wave Kodi version DBMC 16.1-2 Git:2016-03-27-5da4099-dirty droidbox settings was 4k2k-30hz and 4k2k-25hz hope this helps you? ... Is they any advantage in leaving it in a 4k setting or a 1080 one when playing lesser stream ie 720 or 480 etc have now put it on auto hope to hear from you soon
I have a Samsung series 9 UE55js9000. I have turned off auto-select and set it at either 4k2k-30kz, or 4k2k-25, or 4k2k-24 and after running kodi I find it has reset back to 108op.
Hi mine does not change back to 1080p from 4k setting or at least it did not and not the last time I looked have now put it on auto would only change back to 1080p from 4k after ota updates etc
Thanks to both for the information, I'll try and drag the kids away from our 4K screen over the weekend and test what happens. If switching does not occur, Auto is definitely turned off? Tried from the More Setting button as well?
Have not tried from more settings just the display resolution one can change to 4k settings turn box off then on again all ok then
Hope to get results of testing up today. Had some ideas of things to try changing, as couldn't get 4K mode to flip back to 1080 without permission. Sony 2015 I think 4K model, will grab fuller details and post up properly.
OK, rough notes up, otherwise it'll take forever...
If a Wizard was used, which one, and which pack?
Fixes:
Auto switch DEFINITELY turned off in Android's settings?
Kodi and DBMC's display rate auto-change , not resolution I appreciate, but try flipping from current state to opposite. System (click), Video, Playback
Wiped Kodi/DBMC data and reloaded add-ons?
Tried OTA Update from last weekend, with latest 16.1 Stable (Kodi) and 16.2-1 (DBMC) to see if behaviour remains the same.
AdvancedSettings.xml If you can navigate to /Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata after a reboot, before opening Kodi (need to check path is correct and find DBMC's to quote), rename the XML file to a new name. Open Kodi/DBMC, see if 4K 1080 switching occurs still . ES File Explorer/File Manager HD/preferred app is fine.
If you set to 1080p in Android, then play a 4K video in Kodi/DBMC, does the reverse behaviour happen?
