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

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

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.
