I finally got the chance to actually watch some movies on my Ugoos. Everything is great except for one small issue. I haven’t had a ton of time to trouble shoot, but I thought I would throw it out here in case someone has a quick fix idea.
Playback is perfect until I use left or right to skip forward or back 10 seconds. Then playback it very stuttered until I pause it for a few seconds and resume playback. Any thoughts?
I believe I’ve accurately followed each step of the FAQ. The only thing different is that I used Rufus instead of Etcher; but that wouldn’t make any difference.
Why would you whitelist? You just run the gui at 1080p60hz and CE then transitions to 2160p with DV/HDR fine.
1- should I select the whitelist in CE? I’m confused some say do and others say don’t.
2- will am6b+ support TV-Led, my TV LG G4? How do I know it’s working on my TV and am6+?
3- what should select in resolution 3840 or 1080P?
4- refresh rate what’s better 60 or 24?
Thank you all.
thank you so much rome1931.
Whitelist controls whether or not content is upscaled on the device or on the TV. If a resolution is added to the Whitelist, CoreElec will send the content in its original resolution to the TV. Otherwise, the content will be upscaled on the device. Since the Ugoos does not upscale too well, I recommend adding most resolutions to the Whitelist. This may cause a slight delay as the resolution is delayed at the start of a video, but the quality is usually better.
Your setting have Use Player Led to off, so you are using TV led.
I have my GUI set to 1080p so that the TV can upscale it. Using an ative 4K GUI breaks vidéo output.
should I select all the resolutions 2160’s and1080’s?
thank you.
I am interested as well. I thought setting CE to 1080p is enough, so when a 1080p video is played the TV does the upscaling (and when setting CE to 2160p, a 1080p video is upscaled by the Ugoos).
Now I am reading about whitelisting, this confuses me.
Please tell me what I need to do so that (480p, 576p, 720p and) 1080p is playing natively and will be only touched/upscaled by my LG G4 TV which should do the job better than the Ugoos.
Why this at all?
CE do choose the best matching resolution anyway!
No need to to add or whitelist any resolution.
It’s only need if you have a resolution in list what the hardware does not support as example.
When you have a modern TV with all resolution and GUI is set to 1080p60hz it will switch to any format the media have to give best performance.
When the media is 1080p it uses 1080p, when it’s 4k the TV switch to 4k…
You’re incorrect. Stop advising people to do the wrong thing. Leave whitelist alone, you don’t even understand what it’s for.
And what about the upscaling?
It does in certain circumstances…
I use whitelist mainly for SDR content, such as DVD content. Otherwise, they get upscaled to 1080p on the AM6B+ and my TV upscale SDR is superior.
Dynamic range has nothing to do with resolution. I’d be surprised if you could tell any difference between a 720p upscale to 1080p between the device and the TV. Anyway, whatever you think. Just don’t go advising new users to use whitelist. Just because you think you have a specific use case, it’s not required for most.
I have two questions about my setup which I installed yesterday. Barebones install, no Plex and no services enabled. Latest nightly. Intending to use offline with native player for USB attached storage. LG C3 tv.
Is there a way to run ceemmc tool locally on the device? I am trying to avoid giving it network access which is required by SSH. Currently my bootloader USB drive must be attached to boot into coreELEC, otherwise it boots into Android. I want to resolve that.
I tried ten 4k files. All ten displayed at 2160@24hz. I tried two 1080p files and one played at 24hz and the other at 60hz. How can I have a consistently higher refresh rate? I set it to TV led and the TV is capable of 2160@120hz.
You always run this tool locally on device itself 
Enable ssh, run the tool, disable ssh.
When my gui is at 1080p without whitelist and my older media is 480p or 720p and my tv being 4k.Does it mean the box will upscale to 1080p and the tv to 4k?Wouldn’t it be better to have the tv upscale it to 4k by itself?How would I ensure a resolution match to ensure the tv upscales rather than the box in this case
Grateful to anyone who can provide an insight
In these cases, the device upscales to 1080p and then the tv upscales to 4k.
That’s wrong!
When the GUI is set to 1080p all media below and equal to 1080p is 1080p on screen. Above it choose the media format like 4k.
When GUI is 4k all media below and equal 4k is 4k on screen.
So the GUI is the edge and should be chosen correct to match most media be used.
