I think that maybe the case. If DV isn’t needed is there a popular recommendation? Most suggestions are around DV (and all roads point to the Ugoos!). Thanks
@Astrotrain OP needs update as FEL seems to work with Android 14 update för Homatics etc.
It all depends on your needs/wants.
Many users like the option of the best of both worlds
ATV and CoreELEC in a dual boot
So can enjoy Certified Netflix/Amazon /Disney/etc…
On Android
Then for Media Playback
Switch to CoreELEC!!!
Go to the first post in this thread
There are some Boxes listed there.
Also there are Boxes that Support Dolby Vision, and are reasonably priced.With the same options listed above
Just Not FEL DOLBY VISION
Also over at Kodi Forum is a list of Boxes
Good Luck
Keep researching/watching u tube videos/etc
Just found a TOX3 for $47 AU. on ebay. Cheapest Ive ever seen them.
Edited Link in my post up the page. Looks legit. Will find out when it comes.
Curious why Dune HD Pro Vision 4K isn’t on the recommended list? Not for online/premium streaming, but local playback w/DV FEL?
anyone in Europe interested the HOMATICS Box R 4K Plus is on sale in aliexpress
EU plug: $86.73
then find a $3 coupon, AliExpress allocates certain amount each day then resets them, so if you didn’t get the coupon today, get early tommorow
total $83.73, after taxes $100.47 or euro 97.08
If you are from US then find one just above $100, to get $12 off. For UK it works out slightly better from the link I posted.
You could also buy a universal adapter for your country for under a dollar also
Universal au uk us eu stecker adapter us zu eu stecker konverter australisch kr euro reise adapter strom steckdose ac steckdose - AliExpress 13
EDIT
seems this is UK specific, if you change to europe you don’t get the same deal. you can buy the adaptor and also topcashback has 10% on, so you could get this for like £74. so yeah sorry it’s mainly for UK it seems, maybe it works for others to
Don’t think it supports FEL does it? I thought it plays P7 FEL files but without the enhancement layer
It’s in the list of supported s905x4 devices than can playback FEL in CoreELEC.
Dune HD Pro Vision 4K (sc2_s905x4_4g_1gbit.dtb)
Working: DV FEL, Ethernet
Hi, what advantages do boxes with s928 have on coreelec? example: ugoos SK1. Is there any point in buying them rather than much cheaper devices?
Example: Ugoos SK1 comes with S928X-K and Widewine L1 Support.
The -K part has something to do with the licenses like @YadaYada already said here Homatics Box R 4K Plus - #5392 by YadaYada
The SK1 also have “Widewine L1 Support” that only on the android side, as far as I know, it’s not used in CE.
Guess it depends, if you need the android side for something it might be interesting.
If you only want to run Coreelec on an S928X device, something like the “X96 x10” also will do just fine. (without any compromiese in the audio department since in CE the DD, DD+, DTS licensing doesn’t matter. )
Ok.
What I wanted to know mainly is if there is an advantage in terms of speed, image quality, etc… to use a device with S928 SoC rather than S905X4 or S922?
you want to use S922X-J for best experience.
Hi all, is there any recent and confirmed update about various Amlogic SOCs like S922, S905X4 etc. being able to handle true TV Led DV either in the latest ATV firmware ATV12,14 etc or in CE-NG? I have read post from early to mid 2024 where folks tested the output using HDfury and confirmed that TV Led was actually fake with static RPU mimicking LLDV signal. But since then havent seen more news or tests with recent ATV or CE firmwares if this bug was addressed.
You obviously haven’t read enough since in CE correct TV Led works without any problem on S922 & S904X4 DV certified SoCs on most recent DV TV/displays for a long time. In ATV 12, 14 proper TV Led also works on here mentioned devices. Of course any Dolby Vision TV/display with working TV Led option is needed for full functionality.
This is good to know So this means that if you choose ‘Display led’ in CE DV settings or you choose ‘Sink led’ in ATV 12/14 display settings, you are getting true 8 bit RGB tunneling and if you TV displays the correct image, your TV is capable of true TV led DV processing.
I am planning to purchase the Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus Android TV Box for use with both Android TV and CoreELEC to run Dolby FEL. I would like to know if there are any known software or hardware issues when running CoreELEC on this device.
Aside from the slow boot-up time, does CoreELEC on the Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus fully support Dolby FEL without any limitations? Additionally, do fast forward and resume functions work properly?
Lastly, can CoreELEC be booted from a USB 3.1 Gen drive when connected to a USB 2.0 port on the Dune? I intend to use the USB 3.0 port for connecting an external HDD.
I don’t have this box; ask here
Yes CoreElec NG support that. Atv not support p7 fel, equal what lie the dune support. USB 3 or 2 both can use to boot to CE. Not seen any big issue in pause or ff.
Does Amlogic S905X4 chipset(Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus), fully support
CMv2.9/CMv4.0 RPU metadata as true tv-led (TV permitting)? or its only The Ugoos AM6B+ which support it ?
If it’s CE it’s true tv-led
