Dune HD media center supports direct playback of Dolby Vision profile 7 FEL double-track and double-layer files.
Dune HD media center
In addition to all standard Android TV features, you can also use Dune HD media center software, technically implemented as a concurrently running (in a special virtual container) Linux-based Dune HD OS, and easily accessible via a special app.
Have not used a Dune Player in a while, but yes they can play FEL via there special/proprietary HD Media Center, similar to what Zidoo players do. Main difference is that Dune uses linux for DV/FEL, while Zidoo only Android 9/10.
Yet any DV/FEL capabilities is hard-linked to there own internal players only, so you cant use any other player/media-center on those devices and expect HDR/DV to work correctly. The only “external” DV/HDR apps that will work are the certified streaming apps like Netflix.
I tried installing CE-ng on my Homatics box. It worked, but I can’t play any videos, either locally or over the network. I tested nightly builds from 06/06/2025, 12/06/2025 and 28/01/2025. Can anyone give me a hint as to what might be causing this?
Edit:
My mistake, I had used the wrong device tree because I thought I had read It here in the forum. Now I use the same one as with CE-ne and it works.
I’m looking for some guidance. I’ve read the instructions and followed them carefully, and have spent several days trying to figure out what is wrong. I’ve even queried the pro version of chatgpt to no avail.
I have a ugoos am6bplus. I cannot get the dovi.ko file to register in the OS. And so, dolby vision fails to load.
GPT claims that the wrong version of the dovi,ko file is loaded. I have the 4.9.y dovi kernel, which is what all the links reference. I’ve tried several nightly builds, including the most recent 6/10 version. My nightly build relies on 4.9.269.
Is the dovi.ko file included inside any of the nightly builds? The most recent one does not include it. but perhaps there is an earlier one?
So, how do i determine which tar has the right dovi blob (assuming it is included)? If not, where do I get it? Is there a reason nightly builds don’t provide a link to the corresponding blob?
the version of that kernel listed below is 4.6.y. which is incompatible with recent nightly’s that use 4.6.269.
"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
I tried installing twice, following the instructions precisely. And i’ve encountered the same error, namely that the dovi.ko file (version 4.9.y) is incompatible with any of the recent nighty’s. I tried one in march and the most recent june one.
I need a dovi,ko 4.9. 269 blob or else i need to revert to some build that is compatible with 4.9.y and i’m not sure which that would be.
so i’m left with trying to build the module by hand… or else just returning this box.
the blob has a vermagic version. for the kernel to load it, it must match the kernel version. I’m not an expert at linux, so i’m not sure whether this is just metadata or whether it corresponds to actual code. but as it stands, the linux kernel of the nightly build (4.9.269) will not load the dovi.ko file provided in the link.
From what I remember the veramagic check was disabled in CE-NG, and isn’t your problem. Those are warning messages that you’re referencing, they don’t matter.
It would be more informative to post the dmesg so that we can see what other error messages you’re encountering
