Homatics Box R 4K Plus

Using Nova player I don’t get the brightness changes.

Yes, referring to your test, dune has an RPU response.

I tested homatics without RPU response.

rome1931 · 11 April 2023 01:23

Just so we on the same page. I tested with the dune version of the Homatics box with the dune app.

Every theorie is useless without prove practically → log.

I think we need a Offtopic thread for such discuss.

rome1931 · 11 April 2023 11:16

Do your builds process the rpu?

Portisch · 11 April 2023 11:20

Yes, they do:

[depends][Android] Add base dependencies setup for libdovi

xbmc:master ← quietvoid:libdovi

## Description The changes bring support for the Rust toolchain with the goal o…f being able to integrate C compatible dependencies through [cargo-c](https://github.com/lu-zero/cargo-c). This PR also adds the optional [libdovi](https://github.com/quietvoid/dovi_tool/tree/main/dolby_vision) dependency for Android builds. ## Motivation and context The main motivation for this is to be able to convert Dolby Vision on-the-fly, so that Android devices have less issues. This requires `libdovi` (which is a Rust/C compatible library). There are also other usecases for Rust such as binary addons, which seem to have been previously proposed GSoC projects. ## How has this been tested? Tested successful build for all Android target platforms. Runtime tested on FireTV Stick 4K (2018) and 4K Max (2021), so `armv7`. ## What is the effect on users? None by default, as the added dependencies are built optionally with a configure flag. Only the build process is affected, it's still unknown to me how the new dependencies behave on all supported platforms. As the dependencies are limited to Android only, I don't think it can have a negative effect. Testing thread for Android: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=371557 ## Types of change - [ ] **Bug fix** (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) - [ ] **Clean up** (non-breaking change which removes non-working, unmaintained functionality) - [ ] **Improvement** (non-breaking change which improves existing functionality) - [x] **New feature** (non-breaking change which adds functionality) - [ ] **Breaking change** (fix or feature that will cause existing functionality to change) - [ ] **Cosmetic change** (non-breaking change that doesn't touch code) - [ ] **None of the above** (please explain below) ## Checklist: - [x] My code follows the **[Code Guidelines](https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/docs/CODE_GUIDELINES.md)** of this project - [ ] My change requires a change to the documentation, either Doxygen or wiki - [ ] I have updated the documentation accordingly - [x] I have read the **[Contributing](https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md)** document - [ ] I have added tests to cover my change - [ ] All new and existing tests passed

So I guess by my foggy glass ball Dune do the same…

Cool Thanks

I converted BL_EL.mkv to MEL and tested with HOMICS and there was a strong RPU response.More RPU metadata is preserved.

Convert BL_EL.mkv to P8.1 and test with HOMATICS, and basically no RPU response is visible.Very little RPU metadata is preserved.

Maybe CE has 2 options, one is to convert to MEL, and the other is to convert to P8.1, let the user choose?

Main thing is those boxes are equipped with too small power supply.
My Vontar X4 takes 10W playing 4k hdr video from 2.5" hdd plugged in to a usb3. This makes max from 2A power supply delivered… Wondering how long is it going to be like that until it stands in fire?

@Portisch did you read actuall data or is it manufacturer bullshit?

Portisch · 12 April 2023 13:35

I only do measurements like this by myself. And it’s measured on DC input.
So depends on your power supply used it increase what it really consume on 110V/230V AC.

Can’t wait to test Dovi in CE

Baloo · 12 April 2023 14:55

Hi to all,
newbie in ce, I just installed last nightly build on R+ and I’d need some help to achieve its configuration:
.is there a specific file for B25 remote (big/premium one) or should I proceed with the B21 one ?
.same issue with Input Stream Adaptive as in Kodi (I solved installing version before 23/03/2023), how to fix it in ce, so IPTV Simple Client works ?
Many thanks

frodo19 · 12 April 2023 14:56

ragico · 12 April 2023 15:16

Profile 7, 4k, FEL, converted to minimal EL,good job,thanks CE team!

Vasco · 12 April 2023 15:53

What message do you get when trying to install inputstream adaptive? If the problem is with inputstream helper you can use the test version found here:

TheCoolest · 12 April 2023 16:08

MEL conversion is not recommended (by quietvoid and me) it messes up the colors in the video. You will no longer get an accurate representation.

Baloo · 12 April 2023 17:06

Sorry for asking, I just abandon this installation try, not a single ssh command worked (deprecated, many other errors), I’m moving back to kodi under atv11 with remote and iptv working… many thanks!
