Dolby Vision (including FEL) is working in CE-NG 20.5+/21+ on any DV licensed devices including those with s905x2, s922x, s905x4 SOCs. So far confirmed working on:
Homatics Box R Plus / Dune HD R Plus / Rocktek G2 / Nokia 8010 (s905x4-k)
Ugoos X4Q Extra (s905x4-j)
Tencent Aurora 4 Pro (s905x4-j)
Kinhank G1 (s905x4-j)
Amazon FireTV Cube 2nd gen (s922z)
Ugoos AM6+ (s922x-j)
Minix U22X-J (s922x-j)
DV FEL also confirmed on licensed s905x2 (J/K variants), unconfirmed on DV licensed s905x3 but likely works on that SOC too.
DV FEL test files. See the woman (BL_EL.mkv)? if yes, DV FEL is working (read more about DV FEL test).
The dovi.ko here won’t be included in CoreELEC future releases, and will always be up to you to copy to any new CE installation for Dolby Vision support.
The s905x4 needs to be running CE-NG to use this dovi.ko for DV FEL playback. DV FEL is NOT supported in CE-NE.
Instructions
-
Download
dovi.ko for s905x2 & s922x/z
dovi.ko for s905x4
Three optional locations to copy dovi.ko to CoreELEC:
a) Samba: copy dovi.ko to Configfiles folder
b) PC: plug CoreELEC USB into computer copy dovi.ko over (same directory with dtb.img & kernel.img).
c) SSH: copy dovi.ko to /storage/dovi.ko
This will supersede any other copy of dovi.ko on the device -
Reboot CoreELEC
Confirm the driver has loaded by checking for Dolby Vision features under
Settings / System / CoreELEC
Note: The new options for placing the dovi.ko are only available in the CE-NG nightlies (March 16th). Place it here /storage/dovi.ko for CE20.5/21RC1 stable.
