Sorry for asking dumb questions. Am I able to copy my storage partition to a new USB Stick to keep my plugins and settings?
Did this item ever show up in previous nightly builds? In NO?
It looks to me like none of the CE builds would show this item with your current Android version because none of the NAND partitions we are currently searching for exist on your box.

No need, it is enough to use CoreElec options for Backup/Restore to transfer all your settings and plugins.
Sadly my flash got corrupted during the last nightly update
Yes, it’s many times worth to make a backup before doing a nightly update

I can answer partially for him: on ATV 12, with CoreElec NG, the option was available if we used an alternative skin.
I wonder if there is also an add-on available to have this option without changing the skin.
It’s pretty cool to have this option under ATV 14 without having to install another skin or CoreElec NO

I’m not sure, it’s possible with a different skin but I was hoping to see it as an option on the standard skin. It’s not that big a deal if it’s not possible. Thanks for your reply
The standard estuary works fine.
My custom estuary modv2 working fine with that too,
as my arctic.zephyr 2 resurrection.
Under atv14 too.

Can you run fw_printenv and post what you get back from it?

Thanks for the response, I have tried the add on you suggested but it didn’t seem to work as I hoped. The box rebooted to android ok but it switched the video output to force hdr out and I had to then go into settings every time to change it back.
I believe that this is an android default (to automatically switch to hdr output after a forced reboot)
I was hoping to find a reboot to android solution that didn’t cause this problem.
Thanks
We have discussed in internally in the team, and “fixing” this issue for your particular box may break it for other users, so for now we decided not to change anything.
The addon discussed does the same thing Kodi does in order to reboot to android.
And you can modify the default HDR settings in Android. The recommended setting is “Auto”.

Thanks for the response, it’s not a huge problem for me and I can use the add on to achieve the same results.
The problem I have with the add on is that when I reboot my Dune Homatics it seems to forget that I have chosen hdr automatic and displays an hdr output. I can change this setting back but it’s a bit frustrating having to do this every time.
Appreciate your support and efforts, thanks again
Your problem will be resolved once your box is updated to Android TV 14.
This version works better, with all the available audio/video codecs.
Homatics/SEI have just put restrictions on the functioning of certain apps, but it’s easily bypassed.
At that point, you will have the menu that will appear in CoreElec
Until SEI/Homatics does like SDMC/Kinhank (and many other manufacturers) and locks the bootloader to please Google (according to them)…

So, we might see improvements in video performance using CE, by installing Android 14 update?
I think I’m still on android 11 on my box, I have only updated android once, when it was required for dolby vision to work after some update to CE. I never boot to android now.
No, switching to Android TV 14 would just allow @MalcolmTucker to have the option in CoreElec to restart on Android without forcing HDR mode.
And on Android TV, all the most common audio/video formats will be decoded, unlike on Android TV 11 or 12 on this box…
On CoreElec, all formats are already supported regardless of the version of Android TV
