Amazon FireTV 4k max. H264 Level?

Hello,

I find a lot of confusing information about the max. H264 Level for the FireTV 4k.

When I look here:
https://developer.amazon.com/de/docs/fire-tv/device-specifications-fire-tv-stick.html

It says:
H.264 . Hardware accelerated up to 1080p @ 30fps or 720p @ 60fps, 20 Mbps, High Profile up to Level 4.

Does this mean, that the max Level I should set Plex to is also 4 ?

Any helpful response appreciated.

Cheers
Hossa

The level on the Fire Stick 4K in the Plex app has traditionally been set to 5.2.
I would hope the level 4 on Amazon’s docs is incorrect or just rounded down, as HD video has been level 4.1 as a standard going back to plain 1080p blu-rays.

See chart here:

You should set it to 5.2
