Homatics Box R 4K Plus

Help & Support Hardware
5093

I’ve been using CE 20 (originally 21 but was suggested to downgrade a while back) on this for quite a while, but after a nasty power outage this past weekend the USB file system got corrupted and I had to reinstall everything from scratch. I went with v21, since I figured it would be stable enough now.

I’ve noticed, all of a sudden, smearing on the bottom of some of my rips, where the bottom line of pixels is duplicated. I know this is apparently caused by the resolution not being a multiple of 8 - like Handbrake defaults to 804 when cropping, but when I encoded to 808 it was fine.

My issue is, I don’t recall seeing this problem before now. But, i also had an Android update I did at the same time this weekend since the box wasn’t absolutely current (I only use it for CE).

Is this an artifact of v21 vs v20, or the Android update? I have enough files I’m seeing this on that I’d rather figure out how to fix CE.

EDIT: never mind. Installed the latest v21 nightly and all is well. I assume it’s just a bug in the official released version.

Hi community, as always thankyou to all involved in making this all a reality, Absolutely loving CoreELEC running on this device.

I’m currently rocking the Aeon MQ 9 Mod for Kodi 21 (Omega) skin found here: Aeon MQ 9 Mod for Kodi 21 (Omega)

My issue is when I’m playing Dolby vision content and I press backspace to return to the main menu I get a messed up image, even the navigation bar is all screwed up (see below), I believe its related to the video being played in Dolby vision and the skin is not, if I pause the video and return to the main menu the issue is resolved.

I’m not sure if this is related more to the skin or to CoreELEC itself but I’m hoping this is a simple fix.

Anyone using ATV12 5521 or 6314 or later please confirm if Omega builds working fine on dune hd box? Thanks

Hey Team,

I have been using CoreELEC exclusively for the past month and it is so good in playback compared to ATV. I just have been having just a single issue with bluetooth. After waking from suspend after a long time, the bluetooth stops working on the box itself, can’t connect to remote or my buds. On CoreELEC menu, I get no bluetooth adapter found and when trying from the addon and when trying to restart bluetooth from ssh I get Bluez Failed.

You cannot go back after upgrading to ATV12
you can go to SEI804HM_firmware.12.8.7329 or wait Google Certified Upgrade

DV FEL is now working on any DV licensed s905x4 boxes. Because DV FEL only works in CE-NG, this will require creating a new CE-NG USB and using the generic sc2_s905x4_4g_1gbit.dtb.

The s905x4 is not well tested in the CE-NG branch, but it appeared to play all video codecs including AV1 when I tested it.

How do we recognize if a video file has DV FEL?
Preferably with the mediainfo app.
Maybe someone has an example of such file? :slight_smile:

5108

Yep, i also confirm that FEL7 is working with R4k + ( ATV12 ) .
Also WiFi , Ethernet and BT seem to work correctly .Thx @YadaYada :wink:

There are several samples that you can use to test if FEL is working .
Check here → https://kodi.wiki/view/Samples

thanks, so just plainly searching for “FEL” only gets one result there (no. 17 in the list of 4K (UltraHD) Formats), but it seems it’s not available anymore

Dolby Vision FEL Test Samples

@mnd yeah, link was dead, try this

If you are only seeing the colors , then FEL is not working , if you are also see other things thru the colors ( writings and then a movie scene) ,then FEL7 is working .

5112

Thank you, turns out I already had the file from some time ago.

Getting back to mediainfo, can we use it to recognize FEL in the files?
Does this text tell anything about FEL, for example:

HDR format : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, Profile 7.6, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU, no metadata compression, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, Version HDR10, HDR10 compatible

And if we want to change from CE-NE to CE-NG, maybe there’s a way to migrate all our settings? :slight_smile: or do we have to start from scratch
