First post he wrote “I’ve created several FEL tests, in MP4 (DTDL), MKV (STDL), M2TS (DTDL), ISO and BDMV. These are muxed with Dolby’s own MP4 Muxer and then converted to the individual formats with the latest TSMuxer or MakeMKV where needed.”
This posts dates around Mar 21. which is before the post in the kodi page you linked to
also in the readme at the bottom it reads
“As @queitvoid suggested BL_RPU.mkv have some metadata that it should not have in profile 8, see Dolby Vision profile 7 FEL in Kodi 21 on Ugoos AM6 Plus
So I made BL_RPU2.mkv using:
dovi_tool --edit-config fel_to_p81_encode.json mux --bl BL.hevc --el EL.hevc --discard
mkvmerge -o BL_RPU2.mkv BL_RPU.hevc”
This means queitvoid isn’t the person who created those files since the text is referencing queitvoid and near the end of the post in avsforum people are asking for the files he " markswift2003" created and he’s uploaded more in Mega. So to me it seems markswift2003 is the author of those files and he’s done similar work as you on trying to get FEL working.
markswift2003 is still active only posted 4 days ago. Seems he was also working on FEL
queitvoid also has a github
"BL is expected to be mapped to 16 bits.
EL is 10 bits.
I’m trying to send a message at the end of the thread to ask if he’s the author and to let them know the developments made here by YadaYada. As soon as I can post on that forum. I’ll send
I honestly was thinking for example the KinHank seems like they want to just sell them. the prices are very low. I also thought what if they want the next box from SDMC and in order to do that they had to lock the system down to appease SDMC.
The KinHank G1 has been on sale for the past few weeks now and it just seems to get cheaper. If only they didn’t lock bootloader. $54.14 pre tax is awesome
The bootloader isn’t going to unlock, SDMC are no chumps. Plus they removed a bunch of other stuff under the hood that will prevent CE from booting. Kinhank is at the mercy of SDMC to undo the changes.
The SOC is password locked, so there’s no flashing other firmware. And it’s using secureboot, so even if you managed to flash another device’s firmware it would be bricked.
I think it is again enough talk about Kinhank and bootloader issue. If there will be any solution please someone post it but until then stop talking about it because it doesn’t add anything more to conversation.
Just set up my Ugoos X4Q Extra (sc2_s905x4_ugoos_x4.dtb)
Nightly: CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-21.1.1-Omega_nightly_20240910-Generic
Working: DV FEL, BT, WiFi, LAN
Happy days.
NOTE: unlike the Am6b plus, DV didn’t work straight away with the dovi.ko file located in flash. I had to SSH into the box and copy the X4 dovi.ko from /flash to /storage and reboot and then it worked.
I cannot really tell any real difference to my Am6b plus, the X4Q seems as responsive so far, even when seeking in 4K DV FEL remuxes.
wondering as the Ugoos is not certified Android TV box is it not better to buy the Homatics box as it uses same SoC/RAM and get the overall better box? even if you won’t use Android if they are the same price better to go with certified one that also gets Android version updates.
sc2_s905x4_sei_smb_280.dtb is still not working if you don’t reboot to Android first, but after power off same thing, need to boot Android to get it working.
There is no separate box ready from Sei Robotics.
