He is wrong, and he was always going to be wrong. Unless he and he alone has access to sources that no one else in the world does. And a lot of us have been at this since the dawn of time
My Kodi remote Yatse has a button about half way up on the left, next to the 'i' button. I think that button is the equivalent of pressing 'C' on a keyboard. Also on a keyboard you can press 'Z'. All of these give you stats. I've picked a couple of the top links from various sources and all I'm seeing is 720 x 260, 640 x 232 and 576 x 208.
If I watch something I've ripped and I know that's a blu-ray disc, the stats tell me whether it's 1280 x 720, 1920 x 916, 1920 x 900, etc. So to me, the stats are reliable.
Now, whilst your mate may have Kodi configured to output its display at full screen 1920 x 1080, this is what Kodi will do, but it will resize, stretch or zoom the source file it is playing within the Kodi display based on his settings. Plus you may also have some adjustment done by the host in terms of how they deliver the stream. He might have some sort of an info button on his Tv remote which will display what his Tv believes the source is running at, i.e. 1920 x 1080 or just 1080P, but the file that is playing will be resized, stretched, zoomed, etc to match that resolution.
In brief, he's wrong and we're all right
Personally I can't wait to see this film. I was excited about as soon as I saw the cast. I haven't watched any trailers [if they're out] and I won't be watching this, all Taratino's films are worthy of a cinema visit. And I'm not a massive fan of modern day cinemas, particularly the cost - unless it's one of the fancy cinemas with table service
