F1 Playlist - no UHD playback

JDM93 — Sun, 16 Mar 2025 07:22:54 GMT

Hi, I've added F1 as a playlist from the UHD F1 channel.

The 'on this week' section shows UHD programmes but when accessing past recordings they're all served up in HD and from the main event channel. Very much defeats the purpose of UHD playlists. Any solutions?

I have seen that flicking the quality settings from UHD to Auto and back works. It didn't for me unfortunately.

Under that tile on On this week, where it shows HD, you will see Other showings.

Go into that and select the UHD version to select.

Form previous past race or this weekends sessions playlist recordings, did you have them playlisted from the Sky Sports F1 UHD channel?

Within the 'On this Week' section they all show UHD. It's only when the event has passed and it goes up to the top row does it then only give me HD as an option.

I've just had a look at the Other showings section but whilst I can see a list of different channel/quality settings I can't seem to interact with the various options. It's just a list for information purposes. However, as I say, they show as UHD anyway in the bottom row for upcoming events.

Yes it was playlisted from F1 UHD

I've just taken everything off the playlist and set it up again. I think I'll pick it up again next race and see how I get on.

I don't have UHD but the F1 on Playlist is junk which seems to be the overarching issue. I've added every F1 programme I can find to the Playlist but Australia's practices still didn't appear in mine. I had to search for 'Formula 1' and scroll endlessly around until I could find the catch-up versions. It does seem they appear under 'Other' when you'd think they would be the first tiles that should be shown.

I'm seeing the same thing. All under other, with some random bits and pieces under other headings.

You'd think if you added formula 1 to a playlist, there would just be a standardized recording of FP1, 2, 3, quali etc. If you've got UHD serve up the UHD recording otherwise serve up HD. And just categorise by season (could do race weekend as well). Wouldn't have thought that would be mind-blowingly complex to implement.

What I would say is if you haven't got HD, the of you playlist is through Main Event that is categorised much better almost as I've detailed above. Might be worth a shot your end.
