Is there a reason why the Homatics R 4K Plus isn’t listed under supported devices? In the Dolby Vision announcement thread it says that Homatics helped with the DV implementation. Since on the supported devices page it says “Supported Devices are devices on which the development of CoreELEC is supported by the manufacturer” shouldn’t the box be on that list?
In our main page you can see Homatics as an official supporter. The wiki needs an update and that will be dealt with in the next few weeks.

Which file did you pick, the one 20.2 I have has no DV support!
You have a Nokia 8010 you wrote? That still is behind with OS updates. Ask Streamview when to expect that update to V5310?
As Mark5546 wrote, I have the same interest in the link for the valid Nexus variant (20.2 / 20.3?) for the Dune box, which supports Dolby Vision.
Unfortunately there’s no version of Nexus with support for DV devices with older firmware. Please try to have an update contacting your vendor. We only have contact with Homatics and Dune and they both are updating. We didn’t have an answer from the Nokia folks about support.
PS - replied to the wrong user but I’ll keep the info here.
I am using a Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus (black) since 04.2023 and have installed the latest firmware for the Android box.
If your firmware is >=5310 you can use latest nightly.

thank you for the information (:
can you maybe link to the github issue or forums ?
i tried to find “the issue” with ffmpeg you mentioned on github and their forums but i could not figure out which of them is affecting all versions.
im quite interested in the cause of the problem and why it apparently has a regression to omega.
Only big ffmpeg change i could find was a clean-up in their latest omega release from June 17/18 o.o
Take a look at the closed issues. You’ll find one there that was closed without being solved.
The main problem is it isn’t even an acknowledged problem PVR recordings issues with Omega · Issue #23199 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub It is marked as PVR recordings but no doubt affects many thing. I am pretty sure vorbis audio playback is broken because of this too.
I have built CE with some of the changes being discussed and resume works again so the fault is major.

The bad thing from my POV is that there are serious issues and silently ignored. If the ffmpeg library was bumped by someone it is responsible from the same guy to fix any issues because of that. Or at least be proactive. But the answer is just
That’s alpha baby
Not very professional.

thank you for the link (:
i saw that but indeed did not pick it up as such a blocker.
But sure thin sync issues after skipping is a big problem.
cant add to that statements 
So basically this kodi issue could be fixed if they “just” upgrade their ffmpeg? o.o
it does indeed look like a daunting task to fix this o.o
i have huge respect for all party involved. Hope team kodi can learn sth for the future (:
In many ways the problem is historical. The ffmpeg v4 code that Kodi was using was never meant to be used by applications in the first place. As a result when ffmpeg removed it in v5 Kodi wasn’t prepared and the method used to replace it for Omega wasn’t correct but it was still merged.
Thanks to @popcornmix for taking this on. It will be nice to see ffmpeg 6 working in Kodi. I am not sure what new legacy issues from ffmpeg v4 @Portisch is referring to in Nexus hopefully these are addressed.

Hmmm… When the team kodi closed this issue without solve, in the omega, thats mean we would need live with that? Nexus is ready for 7 month, no development there, just few month and omega will be come, as “stable”.
I’m sure all the issues will be fixed. But don’t forget: Omega will come stable at the end of 2024 (still more than 1 year need to pass).
