Description

Any chance of including this new patch? It solves the issue described in my comments here, here and here. Force codec patch does not solve it.

Thanks.

Already exists in RVX patch
The Force video codec patch does the same thing

It doesn't, as I explained in detail above. Force video codec patch just "unlocks" higher resolutions not shown by default, but it doesn't prevent the quality drop issue I mentioned in the thread, please read it if you don't mind.

Check this video, I have set the same RV/RVX quality settings in both cases (highest quality and 1080p on default wifi videos, trying other settings gives same results). Look stats and quality menu marked with the red rectangle. 720 and 1080 just dissapear after 480 drop

This doesnt happen with spoof device dimensions patch, no resolution drop and stays in 1080p60

Same with shorts.

The Force video codec patch also has the same function, but the Force video codec patch not only spoofs the dimensions, but also spoofs the model name and manufacturer.

This is probably the cause of the issue

It seems more appropriate to remove the part that spoofs dimensions from the Force video codec patch and separate it into the Spoof device dimensions patch.
