Homatics Box R 4K Plus

Thanks. Does this work for the Homatics box, though? I saw some claims that it doesn’t even have IR

Hello everyone

First of all many thanks for patience and responding to questions. In summary my system is now working fine and seems with new usb stick it is booting back to coreelec and not android
Secondly used ir remote config file from frodo19 and that is also working super fine
For the first time watched some demos and sample movies and pretty happy with system
Now I need to buy some blue ray rips and build a library
Thanks once again and keep up the good work

Anyone using Homatics tuner with this device? If yes with which Android firmware version?

No ir on Homatics box. People in here added one to their box.

Thanks again. Through a USB dongle? Any particular one that’s recommended?

@vpeter @frodo19

Flirc usb useable . Or assemble this type of IR receiver diode to the motherboard.

Thanks. Any instructions for assembling the diode?

Sorry, no. You lose the warranty, and can brick your box.

You need to check your CEC settings in Kodi. https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/System/Input (I think CEC devices will appear as peripherals?)

By default Kodi switches all CEC-connected devices (TV and AVR) off when you shut Kodi down.

I use it (sometimes), now with the latest V5310 build. I got the DVB-T/T2/C version of Homatics.

Just installed the 5130 version of android on a dune box and updated to CE version 07-21, I think. There were two things that I liked - dolby vision notification popped up on my tv when playing dolby vision content, the second - I was glad to see the latest changelog pop up in CE, when booting for the first time after the update.

Thank you, CE team!

Edit: hm, but browsing my NAS smb share is terribly slow now, it takes more than 10 seconds to load the contents of folders, anyone else? 4k movie played fine, so it’s not an issue of lan speed

Mine seems to take a long time to boot and become responsive. On my N2 for instance the EPG import from tvheadend takes mere seconds but on the homatics it seems to take a lot longer and sometimes the box becomes unresponsive while this happens.

I’ve attached the kodi.log it generates while booting but obvious standing out that would cause that sort of issue.

Hi,
Nokia 8010 here, neither codes given by Vex:

Nor given by frodo19:

Worked for me.

So, this is my rc_keymap for NOKIA 8010 if it helps somebody:

By the way, I am unable to poweron the device with the remote after shutdown, if someone have an idea, you are welcome.

Thanks a lot to the devs and the community for the good work, waiting for Nokia updating the firmware to v11.8.5310, because my device doesn’t offer upgrade anything bigger than v11.8.4674 for the moment.

Have a nice summer you all!

Hello Friend I have a Nokia 8010 can you please explain how and where to put that on CoreELEC, usually I use FileZilla to send files to the box. Thanks in advance Friend and have a awesome Summer too.

I hope you don’t mean me, my “Homatics 4K plus” and “Ugoos AM6B Plus” have proper DV license.
What I’m looking forward is “KODI 20” because of my plugins compatibility.
Hope it’s more clear now…

Yes now it’s clear. The amount of devices with DV support is so limited that you can refer to them by their model name.

That Ugoos model is no certified Android TV box, or is it?

If by certified you mean Widevine L1 for streaming services then it’s not.
Android firmware is just normal Android(not ATV) with several special features.
If you mean DV license (S922XJ CPU) then yes.

Any chance of fixing the Homatics sleep/wake bug?
