Ah, as florinvlaicu wrote - I was referring to the Khadas VIM Amlogic boards - they are very powerful Amlogic sbcs 
I will try the Plextuary CPM skin!
âShow stream infoâ button seems to randomly not work, itâs very temperamental. Also on occasion it will revert to the kodi info not the pm4k info (along the top of the display rather than the bottom)

Hi again panni, since I was on the subject of âblank black backgroundâ in the bug I posted above, would it be possible to add a richer deeper black to your Background Color selection field such as the one that the official plex app employs? The official plex app has a deep rich black that looks quite nice and almost âshinyâ while the pm4k #00000 looks ummm kinda drab/grey (as you can see in my pics above).
Perplexity AI says âThe core background color used in the official Plex applicationâs dark theme is a very deep black with the hex code #191919 or a very close variant, such as #282a2d"
But I donât know if AI is right, just wondering if there is a way to improve on your background dark color. Thanks for your time
Umm:
Thatâs the blackest we can get. Looks also very black to me in the UI. Itâs possible your TV handles contrast differently as the native Plex app is a bit darker in general?
If itâs temperamental it could mean that it doesnât receive the session info from the Plex server fast enough (or not at all). Would need logs to take a look.
Iâll take a look, thanks!
Somehow I canât reproduce this at all. Tried your exact steps. Can anyone else?
Edit: Was able to reproduce. You never set a background color, but kept the Kodi default (â-â or â00000000â). Set it to black explicitly and the issue goes away. Will be fixed, thanks!
Edit 2: If you kept it at the default, it might explain they greyness of your background as well.

Whatâs your exact config in PM4K? Do you use alternate seek? Also what do you mean with âworksâ. Does it seek back on start and some issue still happens or doesnât it do that at all?
Need more details!
Edit: Yes, at least in your vim3 log you have alternate seek enabled and it does what itâs supposed to do. Whatâs the issue?
Oh yup, that was it exactly. Nicely troubleshot 
I have now actually selected the deepest black instead of just leaving the default. Cheers
And ya, regarding the black background, unfortunately pm4k looks so drably grey even with the deepest black (0000) selected unlike the android official plex app that has almost inky black when âHigh Contrastâ background is selected. The difference can definitely be seen in the pic below (in the official plex app you can even see my reflection hmmm)

Either your TV is terrible or this really isnât black at all.
This is very much black.
Edit: You did restart PM4K after changing the AddonSettings, right? They donât stick when PM4K is minimized.
I probably didnât coz I switched around different colors and now finally the black has stuck. Holy christ, ya thatâs black I knew my Sony 85â couldnât be that bad haha
Hi panni!
Bug Report:
Since the update to 1.1.4 beta 1, the codec logo is no longer displayed for nearly almost all media.
I have the VS engine active since i used pm4k.
In version 1.1.3 beta 4.3 (and bevor), the codec logos were still displayed for all my media (Dolby Vision, Atmos, etc.).
Best regards
legendos
which CoreELEC build do you use?
I use the same beta and the codecs logos are displayed just like before.
Iâve had the AM6B+ since February 2025.
Since then Iâve been using âCoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-21.2-Omega_20250302082815.A14â and PM4K.
Are you also using VS Engine?
Have you tried SD Content? At least there, codec logos are no longer displayed.
I rolled back to version 1.1.3.
It works there.
Iâve taken a closer look at this.
When I start a video for the first time, no codec logo appears.
If I stop the video and start it again, the codec logo appears.
However, this isnât the case with all videos. For example, the codec logo always appears with Top Gun: Maverick.
Iâve also noticed this happenes allthough with version 1.1.3.
I canât say which version this started in, so Iâve now upgraded to 1.1.4.
Not often, but last time I did (2-3 days ago), it displayed the logos.
Same for SD (1080p, not lower) content.
Which skin are you using?
I think itâs due to the Plextuary CoreELEC CPM skin and not with the PM4K versions.
When I configure the Plextuary CoreELEC CPM skin to display the logo in the top right corner of the OSD, it doesnât appear at all.
This isnât a problem with an older version (like 4.0.0-pm4k1.4cpm.a14.4) of this Skin; everything works fine there, no issues!
Which skin are you using?
Hi panni! (-:
Please take a look at my post above.
It probably is. You have to tell me which Plextuary CPM versions youâre talking about. Blanket statements donât help at all with debugging when this started happening.
Also please tell me the codec logo display duration youâve set.
No need to separately ping me, Iâm active in this thread.
Edit: Do you have blackout enabled during seek on start?
