      @kayakbabe Thanks. this is good advice. I am hoping the MM core CSS already does this and it is only my custom CSS I have to worry about, but will find out soon. Waiting on my Chromecast with GoogleTV to arrive.

          So it turned out to be very easy.

          Fully kiosk browser told me that the resolution is 1920 x 1080 even on a 4K TV so I just had to change the body. For some reason setting it to 100% causes issues but. this works and nothing else needs to change.

          @media screen and (max-width: 1920px) {
          body {
          height: 1080px;
          width: 1920px;
          }
          }

            @korey_sed said in FireTV or Android TV as MM client:

            the resolution is 1920 x 1080 even on a 4K TV

            depends on the hdmi port support,
            pi3 is 1920x1080,
            pi4 is 3840/2160, MAX, but could be lower,
            i don’t remember the pi02w…
            pi0w is 1920
            odroid xu4 is 1920,
            jetson nano is 3840,
            both of my chromebox models support 3840

              @sdetweil this is different.

              chromecast itself has the HDMI wire attached and I can watch TV shows in 4K, however when I open a web browser (Fully Kiosk Browser) , it is at 1080. I guess it could be the app, but I got the same results with different browsers.

                @korey_sed so they are not making the 4k support available to outside (their function) users…
