I believe the handbrake logs are not useful (instead, the PS4 player will be, but there is no way to see any message), the key will be finding the appropriate handbrake settings for the PS4 Pro player :)
I'm trying to use MP4 instead MKV https://gist.github.com/e-minguez/cdda5 ... 520391f8f4 but it takes ~24 to reenconde the video with my current hardware :D

It is not necessary to encode the whole file, just enough to demonstrate the issue. A single chapter, or an arbitrary from/to segment is fine, because the settings and handbrake's analysis of the file will be logged.

And the chance that logs "are not useful" is pretty low - they tell us far more about the file, your settings, and the encode itself, than you might be able to describe in as few words.

After ~24h of encoding using this preset https://gist.github.com/e-minguez/cdda5 ... 520391f8f4 I've been able to reproduce a 4K video in my PS4 Pro \o/
I've created a PR to include the preset in future versions of handbrake here https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/pull/2099
HTH!
