When the device is connected directly to the TV LG OLED, I get 8-bit RGB color with Dolby Vision
and When the device is connected directly to AVR Pioneer , I get 12-bit RGB with Dolby Vision
why?
Anyone having problems with AV1 files on new nexus 20.3 version? 20.2 version does play files without issues, but doesn’t have dolby vision. I have Nokia 8010 streaming box.
I linked a small file that works just fine on 20.2 version but not so well on 20.3.
So, currently player-led mode is recommended for DV with our boxes?
What about color banding, first reported here by @snpetit, with the test video?
Is brightness control better with player-led and that outweighs the possible color banding?
test video:
Plays fine on my box, just built 20.3 off the latest sources.
Nokia 8010 I installed Amlogic-ne, New. It was even possible to force ATMOS on Danon X3008h, the problem is that the NETFLIX button in the remote control does not work, is there KEY NOKIA.cfg that will activate this button

Hi guys,
what does VESA MODES mean in the coreELEC configuration menu?
Hello, I’m a little confused, I have tried several images based on Nexus, including the one on the main page which tells me to update the kernel, I need a version that is suitable for Dolby Vision, my kernel is 5.4.180, could you please help me? please help? Forgive my mistakes, I’m not English, I use Google Translator
Hi guys, I have a problem with video playback.
I don’t know how to describe it, so here is the picture. How can I repair it? Because the same file works without problem on my Minix U9H.
Device: Homatics 4kP
Kodi: 20.2
I found out that, when I change in settings video/accelerate h264,mpeg2 to never, video looks good, but it is somehow slower. any ideas?
Edit: When I changed (during video playback) Deinterlace=off. Everything was all right.
But there is a question. Why this video works with the same settings on my Minix U9h and doesn’t work on Homatics 4kp?
Thanks
Hi,
Please help - my audio/video is not sync, and the AVR can only + delay and no - delay the audio… what can I do ?
Hm, so there’s no (longer any) problem with DTS HD MA after android update, right?
Hi CE Community and more specifically the Homatics Box R 4K Plus thread.
So like a few other in here are not happy with the overall temps of this unit. So much so I contacted Dune-HD to clarify my temp readings. (See email reply below). Which where 60°C to 70°C at idle after the unit had warmed up and the max temp I seen under load was 85°C.
It’s worth mentioning, I live in Brisbane Australia and its definitely not a cool climate. My unit is housed in my home entertainment unit (1.8m Ikea kitchen unit) where my UNRAID server is also housed. It is air cooled by 3x200mm fans for intake and 3 x 200mm fans on the outtake, the exchange of air within the cabinet is enough to cool my 9 x 3.5” hdd of my server but not my Dune-HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus box……lol.
So this is the email trail from Dune-HD
That’s ok but I’m not happy with the Overall temps of this box, It just cannot dissipate the heat correctly, It’s a mere 3mm clearance off whatever surface its placed on and the temperature of that surface itself is 50°C +.
SO, my mod here is a simple 1, without the need to modify the box itself voiding warranty etc. The unit just need help dissipating the heat. My temps are now respectful enough to put my mind at rest, my idle temps are now 50°C to 55°C and under load 60°C to 65°C.
Airflow now travels freely over the top and bottom of the box itself.
I know its not a huge difference but overall the box is so much cooler to touch and I now notice my CPU usage % is running a lot higher telling me its no longer being throttled.
Parts used:
USB fan - https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0C61YW5SX?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
PC Fan Joiners - Page Not Found - Aliexpress.com
Frame is 25mmx25mmx25mm 1.6mm wall Aluminium Channel.
Hope this helps others in the quest to regulate their temps on these HOT boxes.

That’s a quite “in your face” solution 
We do have some alternatives for this. klick
Maybe that topic can provide other welcome info as well?

I have x96_x4 v1.3 and cut a hole in the top to fit a 4x4 cm fan into it.
Fan is internally connected to 5v and runs quiet, but sucks hot air out of the case sufficient enough.
Should be possible with homatics box too.
There should be around 2.5 mm space between plastic top and PCB.

i have tried to use the homatics USB-C DVBS2 Tuner with CoreElec.
CE 21 Versions have massive USB Problems when the Tuner is connected.
The whole system get laggy.
ce 20.3 stable is ok.
But in none of the CE Versions can TVHeadend find the Tuner.
i think there are no drivers included
In Android the tuner is ok with the preinstalled live tv app.
Any Idea how to get this problem solved?
Will not be. Devs didn’t got any useful information about the tuner and the drivers.
oh, I see. Thanks for the Info.
I tried to find out via termux in Android what this usbc tuner device could be but wasn´t successful.
You can open it and see the chips
cxd2856 demodulator
r836 tuner DVB-T/T2/C, ISDB-T/C
av2018 tuner DVB-S/S2
And if I remember correctly this is not real USB device and only using connector to pass signals.
