Homatics Box R 4K Plus

Yes, until Amlogic fixes it, although I don’t see much chance of that.

Is nightlies 21 solve the problem with reload movies poster (and very slow).
Same with 21 alpha 3.
Now i sticking witch 20 nightly.

It’s probably rebuilding the db. In Omega, at least since alpha, the db number has changed. Before it used the same as Nexus.

(From MyVideos121 to MyVideos122)

That’s the case, omega was previously using the same dB version as 20.x

Player Led mode use 4:2:2 thats cause color banding on my LG C9. Without player LED its RGB and looks fine with this test video.

Where do you check/set that?

Which is why I bought an Oppo UDP-203 clone with jailbreak firmware that can play UHD BDMV and ISO over the network :slight_smile:

If I encounter an MKV file with BL+EL, I manually convert it to BDMV format so the Oppo clone can play it.

But this is getting way off topic :smiling_face:

Can you share the test file? Or share the title.

How about cases with layer 8.x, is it also recommended to use player led mode?

EDIT: With player led mode disabled, I can playback DV files only with color sampling forced to 4:2:2 it seems. The TV stops accepting the input if it’s set to Auto.

With player led mode enabled - color sampling must be set to 4:2:2, for the tv to accept the signal in some cases, right?
Is this the recommended way to do it - keeping forced 4:2:2 for all videos, and player led DV mode enabled?

Check the test video, in my case Player Led occurs worst color bandig.

Tried the test video, the color banding indeed seems worst with player led enabled and 4:2:2.
But there is also some banding (worse in the beginning with darker colors, gets better when brighter) with subsampling set to auto and player led disabled.
By the way, I tried to set forced RGB, in this case I get a black screen even with player led disabled. I’m not sure which subsampling gets selected with auto (don’t know how to check, tv is LG C1).

So I guess it’s back to keeping player led disabled and subsampling set to auto for me.

My tv (C9) shows RGB signal with automatic subsampling. You can check in HDMI service menu.

I’d suppose the Kodi log would also show what is being output.

Thanks, I tried looking for this hidden menu some time ago, but maybe I used the wrong combination then. So now it worked for me and I see RGB mode, on auto subsampling setting. Still, if I choose forced RGB mode, the screen is black (though dolby vision logo appears).

Anyway, this doesn’t change the fact that color banding is more obvious when using player led and 4:2:2, compared to disabled player led mode and subsampling set to auto. (on an LG C1 tv)

Yes, this was my experience too.

Hi!
If i backup setting data, can i restore after changing nightlies build?

Hi.

Is already implemented or planned to tag LLDV BT2020 frames as HDR10 standard frames. ?

I mean, without needing Hdfury like devices to enjoy DV rendered frames in non-DV displays, like projectors or Samsung TVs

Would be really great to get It working. Every HDR10 display will get DV content.

Thanks

No, all modern new TV support DV anyway.
No need to cheat around with wrong tone mapping like other distributions.

If your TV does not support DV it fallback to HDR by itself.
