Dolby Vision for Minix U22X-J (Max) and Ugoos AM6+

The site selling Minix U22-XJ in the uk but waiting on the price as they dont show this info, but if its to expensive it will be the AMBb Plus

I noticed that on here that the AM6 Plus but all i can see are the AM6B Plus I am not sure what the difference are with the extra B in the model name and if this box is ok as only one seller with the UGOOS AM6Plus and its £250
are the UGOOS AM6B Plus model still ok to use is there a difference ???

this is just in case the Minix U22-XJ is not the same price

do both the Minix U22-XJ and UGOOS AM6Plus output the same video quality and run the same speeds from menus in kodi.

B variant has faster wifi, that’s all. I use the am6 variant.

The max variant of the Minix has also wifi 6

Wrong, Odroid N2 with S922X has 4 USB 3.0 ports.

Nope, the N2 uses a GL3523 USB Hub internally.

Yeah not really much different than dangling a USB 3.0 off the side lol

@Meridius you’re over thinking buddy. Unless you can the Minix box for a good price (and from what I know sellers been asking for premium in this since Minix discontinued theirs). Just get the am6b+ from AliExpress from that seller. The primary bonus for the Minix is the ability to leverage bl301 options. Example would be to have power on capability with a remote other than the one they provide. Also not necessary if you want to use a different remote while the device is on since CoreELEC has considerable remote customization (like you can use nearly any IR remote you want).

Ugoos does have separate packaging with differing power supply options. I know as one of the 3 units I got the seller shipped the variant with the Europe/Asia round plugs and a bunch of adapters. The US specific one for example has a single US 60hz 120v power adapter and no additional plugs which is what I preferred because it’s lower profile.

AliExpress also has a very generous return policy. They even pay for return shipping for the first return of each order. So you get some buyer confidence there as well.

i got an offer of £145 for minix-unit in august 2023

slimtvbox firmware for minix has modified firmware for minix, it is based of ugoos firmware. meaning you run minix like ugoos.

google for slimboxtv ru

What ? my am6+ booted from sd and then moved all thing to emmc…

So with price being the same preference would be Minix u22xj max over am6b+?

@GreyFoxRTX parotecsolutions quoted me £150 delivered.

They haven’t gotten back to me. Probably because I’m in Texas.

On a side note, if anyone knows how to get rclone on these devices I’ll really appreciate your help here:Help install rclone on omega21.

Thank you.

So after a lot of research, it boils down to this

  1. Minix U22-XJ
    Storage: 32GB eMMC
    Bluetooth: V4.1
    Power: 5V/3A
    Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 5
    RAM:4GB LPDDR4
    Bootloader: Not locked
    Problems: Device restarting issue caused by attaching an HDD Or SSD
    Price ?

  2. Minix U22-XJ MAX
    Storage: 64GB eMMC
    Bluetooth: V5.0
    Power: 12V/3A
    Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 6
    RAM:4GB LPDDR4
    Bootloader: Not locked
    U22-XJ Max resolved this problem of the device restarting issue caused by attaching an HDD or SSD which the Minix U22-XJ model could not fix.
    Price: ?

3 AM6B Plus
Storage: 32GB eMMC
Bluetooth: V5.0
Power: 5V/2A
Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 6
RAM:4GB LPDDR4
Bootloader: Locked
Price £125

So, I am waiting on a price of the Minix U22-XJ MAX and Minix U22-XJ but will not get that till Monday. Depending on Price it looks like the Minix U22-XJ MAX or AM6B Plus as all i want is to run Kodi and that’s all which will basically play every file known to man with now fully supported all 4k Dolby vision formats and should no longer worry about playing back 4k DV or HDR movies like you get from discs using disc players.

Q1. I don’t suppose the locked bootloader would make a Hugh difference nothing that would stop you apart from using these extra remotes?

Q2. how are parotecsolutions the only ones selling these now if the box is no longer in production or do they get them made just for their company???

Q3 The AM6B Plus have the same problem as the Minix U22-XJ with the Device restarting issue caused by attaching an HDD Or SSD as they seem to have the same Voltage and noticed the MAx uping to 12v prob to be able to run them?

I will let you know what prices i am looking at on monday but do you think the Minix U22-XJ MAX are worth and not only that

thanks all

I got the Ugoos for £137 delivered from that ugoos store link, took about a week to arrive to the UK.

thanks but there is a seller in the uk that sells the Minix U22-XJ MAX so wating to see the price otherwise might as well go for the AM6B Plus as the locked boot loader would not really matter as i have been told its more for third part remotes or something.

did you get it from this store
Ugoos AM6B Plus 2024 - Mini PC TV Box Store

thanks
you had time to test the Dolby vision in kodi ?

Yes, it was from there.

Yes, DV seems to work fine for me

at last i bet , lol been looking for the holy grail for a long time for Dolby vision as i rip my collections to a server and wanted a 4k tv and hated the idea that i could not use all the dolby vision formats

i am wating to see the price of the minix if there to much in my location i will just get it where you got yours i think
