If you follow installation guide lines it must work, as it does on numerous 8010 that I have seen reported, or done myself.
Right. I was also only referring to UHD DV P7 remuxes with FEL and with >50mbps bitrate. It doesn’t seem to necessarily be related to bitrate in my case though.
I have followed the installation guidelines, and this is the second box I set up (the am6b+ did not give me any issues).
Hey everyone!
I bought this box to run coreelec, mainly to watch DV local media, both full blu- ray rips (with and without FEL) and DV streaming media. As most of the new streaming media is in CMv4.0, will the Dune Homatics box be able to play it in its full extent, or will it convert the file on-the-fly to CMv2.9?
On which device/display you plan to watch media in CMv4.0?
I experienced some white artifact problem with some 1080p movie with the latest ce omega ng nightly.
i think the video file avc h264.
h264 accelerate = always
but when i disable h264 hardware acceleration the video files play without the white artifact but movie abit slow.
h264 accelerate = disable.
Thinking to upgrade to Ce-ne or Ce-no omega but i want to have dv fel function.
Sorry maybe I’m missing something but are you sure your file is 1080p and not 1080i? I was having the exact same issue (and solution) with some interlaced content from a BBC show. I believe this is a known issue with the homatics

i guess 1080i probably as i watched the video (Adele live at Royal Albert) using debrid stream .if i remember in the previous Ce i think there was an option to disable deinterlacing but on the latest omega ng the function greyed out.
i heard Ce-ne omega fix this problems but i need the dv fel function on Ce-ng.
The box will be connected to my LG C2

Then why you need CMv4.0, since your TV can do only CMv2.9?
The LG C2 can do CMv4.0, at least with Kodi installed on it
Got ng working with dovi file. Did a full erase of the thumbdrive this time prior to flashing it. Used fedora usb writer for a change, maybe that helped too.
Now I experience the same slightly av sync problem as before when playing high bitrate remuxes. Pausing the video will fix it for a moment. When paused you can see the frame that is lagging “pop back into place”.
How do we solve this? Process info shows healthy cpu temps, low cpu usage, plenty of free ram and video buffer is always above 95%. I’ve applied the large cache/buffer tweak and would like to overclock also if possible. Add another 200/250Mhz to the gpu with a little more voltage.
CM4.0 available through TV-led DV
How I can I tell for sure if my TV supports CM4.0?
I have the DV FEL TEST ST DL P7 CMV4.0 4000nits V3.mkv file, with the red background.
-
Playing it on my Linux desktop with MPV I obviously only get the red background :
-
- At 20s the top text is “Level 2 * this will work only on CMV2.9 hardware”
-
- At 26s the top text is “Level 3 * this will work only on CMV4.0 hardware”
-
- At 30s the top text is “Level 1 only”
-
- At 35s the top text is “Level 8 * this will work only on CMV4.0 hardware”
-
- At 40s the top text is “Level 5 * this will work only on TVs internal player, you should not be able to see this text or there will be a mask over it”

Playing it on CE-NE official release, I get 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 just as MPV on Linux
-
Playing it on CE-NG nightly 20241109 I get the red background with “This device can decode FEL” as expected and then 1 and it stays there until the end of the video
So I guess my TV is CMv2.9 only. Is this sufficient to know for sure or is there any other test to be made?
How can I reverse this ?
In this specific box? Im running coreelec 21.1-ng, with the dovi.ko file, and when I run the FEL TEST ST DL P7 CMV4.0 4000nits V3.mp4 file, It says I can decode FEL but it is stuck on level 2, not showing the text that sould appear if the dune Homatics played CMv4.0 files. This is similar to what the user above me described.
The box is connected directly to my LG C2, which can display CMv4.0 content correctly.
Is there any other file I can test? I feel that the dune homatics does not in fact play CMv4.0…
