Homatics Box R 4K Plus

Whenever I reboot coreelec on my dune hd homatics box it reboots in android tv. Am I doing something wrong? Coreelec is on a usb flash drive on the usb 2 port.

I have similar problem . I recently purchased the box and fortunately got 5310 fw immediately. I was able to boot into coreelec but I powered off my devices from switch and when I went back it goes into atv . Also next time green screen until I booted again in coreelec but this time I rebooted to android from coreelec menu just to check
What are best settings to ensure system stays in last powered state be it atv or coreelec ?
Also kindly share best setting both in atv mode using dune app as well as coreelec kodi for proper audio video formats
I also saw inside dune app it says either chose internal player or Sfmc/kodi what is that ?

Annoyingly my Homatics box isn’t offering me any updates

They paused again to solve some problem related to the tuner. They’ll resume in the beginning of the week.

Is the Homatics DVB-C/T/T2 tuner External Tuner DVB-T2 – Homatics supported in CoreElec (using TV Headend, VDR or similar) or just Android TV? (Is it a USB Type C tuner - or something different?)

Not yet and not known if ever will be.

Is it a non-standard interface (serial TS + I2C, or SPI - like the Pi TV Hat - for example) or is it USB2?

USB Type C

Custom Android dvb interface might be in the dtb which may or may not translate to Linux without vendor support.

Could someone from the CE team chime in on this? It sounds like this is happening to multiple people now.

The folks here are only going to provide support/discussion around CoreELEC and not Android or the Dune-specific Interface. I also think everyone here would agree with me that you should avoid using both for anything other than grabbing firmware updates for the device if/when required.

With that said, optimal settings in CoreELEC are going to vary depending on the equipment you have it hooked up to. I know enough about your personal setup that I’ll message you off to the side with recommended settings.

7 posts were split to a new topic: Homatics Box R Lite 4K

And what happens if you shutdown or reboot device?

And what king of device is that? Any link?
You can use Android app Reboot.to.LibreELEC.

Did they give a date when it might start upgrading again? I checked yesterday and still no upgrade offered.

Thanks

The problem seems to be solved so it may resume shortly.

Hello

Sorry just saw your posts and kindly do send me settings on side
I bought this box mainly both as streaming and causally watching bd movies at least until it is rock solid media player
But I see weird bugs like unable to switch and engage proper dv , hdr in various apps
Is there a way to go back and try different / previous fw ?

@amitanubha if you’re wanting to discuss the device’s functionality under Android then this isn’t the place for that. This thread/forum is purely related to CoreELEC on these devices.

A lot of Android related stuff seems to be discussed over on the official Homatics Telegram.

Separately, people mostly seem to be discussing the Dune Media Center app over here on AVSForum.

There’s also a separate general discussion on AVSForum covering everything about these devices (Android, CoreELEC, Dune Media Center, Streaming, hardware, etc).

Today I got automatic updates from coreelec nightlife’s i.e. from 13/7 and seems it broke DV for me, I m getting pink screen . I m on dune box with 5310 fw

Interesting. I can’t tell if it was Coreelec or the Homatics update, but something broke DVR10+ for me. Only HDR10 plays, even though I have DV turned off.

Broken how?

HDR10+ won’t play anymore. It just does HDR10.

Not sure if it matters, but it’s the Dune version of the box. I don’t use the Dune app.
