One fork exist from old CoreElec dev, TheCoolest aka Arthur Liberman.

I have not updated my branches in months. I’m not sure how much work it would take to make upstream CE repos work with this branch.
It’s possible that it’ll be easier to just take CE21-NG and slap Kodi 22 on top of it rather than rework what has been going on in the upstream CE 22 repos.
It seems to me you did all the heavy lifting.
I’m familiar with Kodi and have develop for it in a distant past but I’m not familiar with CE.
I see your contact info on Core Temp.
Mind if I email you?

I’m using a Dune Homatics Box R 4K Plus (S905X4) and have been running CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-21.2-Omega_nightly_20250805 from USB. Everything worked flawlessly when my box was on Android TV 12 .
However, after updating the internal Android to ATV 14 (v14.8.2463), CoreELEC still boots fine, but Dolby Vision (DV) and HEVC TrueHD movies are throwing this error:
when i click on play, it just shows loaders and spins continuously.
- I’m using the correct DTB (
sc2_s905x4_sei_smb_280.dtb) and also tried sc2_s905x4_4g_1gbit.dtb
Would appreciate any help or workarounds (including stable Android 12 firmware links if needed).
Does ATV Version Running On Dune Have Any Affect on Coreelec ? or its independent
Thanks in advance!

For the Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus, using the "sc2_s905x4_sei_smb_280.dtb" file is essential for proper functionality. After switching to it, everything is working perfectly — Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD MA, and even Dolby Vision FEL are all supported now.
