When you have installed CE, have you copied dovi.ko file to the root of your flash drive? In Settings/System, do you have any Dolby Vision-related options in the bottom-most tab? Also, in Settings/ System information/Video is Dolby Vision shown among the display supported HDR types?
Hi, is it possible to play DVD disks with an USB external DVD drive connected to Ugoos AM6B+? Is there any limitation, or anything to consider when buying such DVD drive? Rip DVD discs is not an option, I would like to use this setup: Ugoos + external DVD drive. Thanks!
This only happens with 4k remuxes
When the film plays normally I have: player cache, video queue, video queue data at 99% and when the film jerks/stops everything is at 0%
It’s frustrating and I’ve tried different cache settings and nothing improves the situation
Thank you very much to anyone who took the time to help me

I swear I put that file in the right place but under the last tab under settings/system i have “display” with disable noise reduction, tone map sdr to hdr, tone map hdr to sdr and reset.
How would i check that file is there? Also the connection to wifi is no longer listed and I can’t find how to connect.
EDIT:
I will personally pay anyone who can help me get operational with this thing $150. I just want to enjoy my remuxes in peace without an advanced degree in linux. Anyone with a working setup and ability to walk me through it on discord or whatever else take my money.
Does anyone get the odd CE freeze screen issue? (latest stable release)
I find I have to reboot the box, Its rare so not really an issue. I use a remote plug so can remote on and off it to reboot it due to wiring management under the desk.
Start over, and follow the guide closely. The reddit guide lays out everything step by step; or you can use the guide here.

Always had DV working on my Am6b pluses after copying the dovi.ko file to the root directory of the USB (/flash). On the X4Q Extra though I had to also copy the dovi.ko file to the /storage folder and reboot before DV worked.
Maybe you have to do the same.
Also checking where the file is located is easy. You can either use putty for command line interface or log in with a software such as WinSCP which has a file explorer type interface.
WiFi I don’t know what would be the cause of that. I use wired anyway for stability.
Anybody else started to get stuttering in vc1 playback with latest nightlies and 21.2?
Remuxes have significantly higher bitrate than rips. The issue could be with the HDD or the controller in the HDD case you have. I would recommend getting a USB 3.0 casing instead, just to be sure. You can’t always depend on cache to help you out if the disk itself is having issues transferring the file at proper speeds. If the drive is 5400 rpm and in a cheap USB 2.0 case, you could get transfer speeds well below the rate of movie bitrate.

Not sure if anybody else this issue. Sometimes when I play 1080p AVC files I get no signal on the tv and no matter what I do I cant get back into coreelec unless I plug power cable out and in. After reboot, I play same avc and it works fine. Very strange and it only happens with avc files.
Edit: latest nightlie
Can anyone confirm if they are using latest stable and all functions such as passthrough audio and DV and so on are functioning well, also same question again for new installs should we go with nightly or newest stable, the existing guides have not been update after the latest stable released.

Downloaded Dualboot CoreElec frimware form Ugoos website as I cannot get my head around the CoreElec installation guide .
Cannot get firmware to update tried basic SD card update but it does not recognize any firmware .
Tried installing via recovery but it also would not recognize anything on the SD card .
Help would be greatly appreciated .
Composite doesn’t recognize my external subs anymore. Even if i pre-load the subs through my plex server. I’ve cleared the cache already.
How can i solve this?
I set the nfs path to my libraries and do let Kodi handle the subtitles.
how do you did that?
I use Plex Kodi Connect, don’t know how composite it does, search in the settings. It is how i solved my the don’t find my external subs
I have a new Ugoos AM6B+. Installed 21.2 (stable) with g12b_s922x_ugoos_am6b.dtb.
I use KodiPlexConnect and Plex is not transcoding. If I play a movie that has DV (Profile 8 or 7) I only get HDR on the LG C1 over a Sony TA-AN1000. DV is recognized though in the interface of Kodi.
The Shield TV Pro plays DV fine over the same cable (I basically replaced the device).
I suspect the error is in CoreELEC. I am on 21.2 stable and I even tried the nightly build. Do I need a special version for DV? I don’t have any settings regarding DV in CoreELEC.
Any ideas? Or is it a bug?
