I have a LG Smart TV and it also seems to play it fine - which is also odd. But I think the video is not true 8K?

Does this video play OK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvqA6zAwsUs at 2160p 60fps?

Remember with youtube, google will code many variants and you may not know which one you are playing.

Additionally what the uploader says the vid is may end up being wrong after the recodes.

youtubedl --list-formats for the 2 8K60p doesn't actually list any 60 fps versions ....

As I said - the TTB network is really rather good and with AAISP you have (in my view) the best of both worlds

I think he is on WBMC.

If you can stream and play, without frame drop, 4k at 60fps that's great news

For those with slow broadband, they can always download the 4K movie then watch.

Ah fair enough, I thought AAISP were TT only - oops!
