Hello,

New to this community, posted on the CoreElec forum as well. I followed the install instructions in this post (https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/1ajszn9/remux\_lovers\_rejoice\_the\_coreelec\_team\_has/?share\_id=7MTVdBsERZIcGky94i01G&utm\_medium=ios\_app&utm\_name=ioscss&utm\_source=share&utm\_term=1)

I am currently using an amb6+ connected to an LG C9 with a high bandwidth hdmi 2.1 cable. I am having a very difficult time configuring settings in order to see DolbyVision. Currently, any video I play with FEL 7 (or otherwise DV coded) is defaulting to the fallback HDR.

I am not overly sophisticated with Linux or these community run OS's, I follow instructions and don't know where to start undoing what may have gone wrong or been configured incorrectly. There have been quite a few issues getting configured that seem to reoccur after power cycle.

Videos had played from the installed Plex repository from my local network. On power down they no longer "see" any of the movies that I can access on any other device.

Had hoped I would be able to just enjoy the FEL 7 content and setup would be relatively one time and simple. Tearing my hair out currently. Is there any discord or place I can actually talk with someone to help? I'm afraid the depths of my incomprehension extend past my ability to right the ship alone.

I have the latest stable CE build installed. Anybody has a solution?

1. Just started using the Ugoos today. Wanted to relax and enjoy a movie tonight but playing a movie back over Plex every few minutes i lose audio super briefly entirely for 1-2 seconds and then it’s back. Any ideas about what might be happening?

2. Interestingly, I had originally tried playing this file via a flash drive plugged directly into the Ugoos and could get no audio at all and the file was playing in SDR. Now playing the same file over Plex it’s correctly in HDR and audio plays. What does that indicate?? Why would Plex play it back better than direct via the file!

Just got my Ugoos box up and running with CoreElec. Playing a few files back via a usb drive plugged directly into it and had a few instances while scrubbing through the films where the player would just suddenly display a black screen. I would have to then hit the power button to turn it back on and it would start from the initial CoreElec startup screen. Any ideas or is this just a symptom of large files?

I heard you can use DV on a samsung tv (S90C) when using the cpm release.

Could someone explain me what the cpm release is? And how much harder is it to setup and update compared to the main release?

Im really interested in gettin the box but I would like to avoid spending half an hour or something everytime I nedd to update it.

Hi, I have installed to the eMMC and would like to use the improved speed by changing the speed mode in settings.

It is asking for a 4 digit confirmation code, I have tried the obvious ones....

Any ides?

Hi!

First of all I would like to thank all of the people involved in this wonderful effort: it is very much appreciated.
I have already bought an used Homatics Dune HD Homatics Box R 4k Plus, followed the instructions for the installation of CoreELEC ng with the Dolby Vision file. Tested the BL_EL.mkv file and I see the woman! Wonderful!

Now I have a coulple of questions on where to go from here.

1. I would like to have the reboot to NAND option, so that I can go back to ATV and use a couple of apps when needed. I found different guides, some will allow you to map remote buttons and all, I just want to have that entry in the shutdown menu. Will I have to use the smb or ssh connections in order to do that? All of this brings me to the this was included in the CPM estuary skin and it works perfectly
2. 2.nd question. I have seen a bit of turmoil regarding the CPM builds, and I don't feel like I have a specific need for it. HOWEVER, I have seen that the author allows you to install JUST THE SKIN with the additional DialogPlayerProcessInfo https://github.com/cpm-code/xbmc/releases/download/CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-21.1.1-Omega_20241123122951.A11/skin.cpm.estuary.A11.zip . How do you install it? Does anyone know if it contains the "reboot to NAND" option? I installed it as a zip file, but AT THE MOMENT IT'S NOT SHOWING ALL OF THE METADATA I WAS EXPECTING (DV level, MEL vs FEL, etc.)
3. Still on the divisive issues: does the https://github.com/jamal2362/Reboot-to-CoreELEC apk work correctly? Will enabling ADB on the ATV cause any issues? Is there a reason why the development is closed? tested it, seems to be working fine

Now, I have a couple of questions on the TV side. I have an LG B4 48'', and I'm wondering if there is a switch anywhere for "PC Mode". I don't remember well, but year back it was about the luminance scale, something about 0-255 vs 16-235. Is is still like this?
4. aka LG1. Do you know where I have to check the "PC Mode" status? Is it still like this? I'm asking because I recently watched a DV movie in CoreELEC and there was quite a bit of black crushing. That maybe an OLED thing, but I wanted to be 100% sure I was doing things right
5. aka LG2. Do I have to change any of the following options when using CoreELEC?

I have an android TV box from my former provider which firmware is now locked and unusable for me (the model of the box is rather obscure - UCA-BI60R. I could not find any useful information on it other than a few outdated modding threads)

Now I have another provider which has an android app and I want to use it on this box, but CoreELEC is linux based.

Is there any way I could run android apps on CoreELEC?

I'm setting up an unRAID server for Jellyfin and running it through the Ugoos like almost everybody else. I finished the tutorial on the CE forums and my Ugoos is successfully running CE, but is CE actually STORED on my USB thumbdrive like unRAID is? Or can I just flash the device and unplug the USB and use it elsewhere from then on?

Also, as a slightly separate question, I also read about dualbooting being "better". However, I have an AppleTV 4k that I'm going to use as my streaming box, so is there any need to dualboot if that's the case? Does it improve overall efficiency or something?

Hi, every time I watch a movie I have to activate subtitles manually. I click on save as default for all sources but when I watch another movie or tv show the option is unchecked. I do not know if I'm doing something wrong or I miss something. Any clue will be appreciated.

I switched to using the CPM build of CoreELEC on my Fire Cube and there are a lot of differences that I like, mostly the VS10 engine to convert HDR to Dovi 8.1 and the advanced display information that lets me know a lot more about the stats of what’s playing, which is nice to see if I’m using a FEL or MEL version of a Dovi profile 7 movie. There are a few quirks though and I would love to talk to someone else that uses a Fire Cube with CoreELEC to see how you have it set up and discuss various things!

Not sure if this is a kodi/coreelec problem, a hardware problem, or what.

I'm streaming a video library via NFS (although I see the same problem with FTP and DLNA) and having some issues with high bitrate files buffering. It seems file dependent but many of my larger files do not play smoothly at predictable spots in the film. nload shows transfer rates spiking over 300Mb/s at these points, but everything is on a 1Gb eth connection, so it should be plenty.

i used iperf3 to connect media server to client. when media server acts as iperf3 server i get a stable 1Gb connection with no dropped packets. But when my ugoos box acts as iperf3 server and i connect as client from my media server i see thousands of retransmissions and bitrate drops into the 600s of MB/s. It should still be enough for 300Mb/s bitrate file transfers, so not sure if this is related to my buffering issues but it's a lead at least. Anyone have any ideas of what I can try next to get this worked out? It's pretty annoying.

I also have an nvidia shield and it buffers even worse. Maybe it's a problem with my server. IDK. I have server hardware running freebsd. It should be pretty solid.

Already tried increasing buffer size to no avail.

I tried other DTB images

Hi, I had a KM8 Pro 2GB/8GB with the Amlogic S912 which served me great for years. I decided to get a new box since A4Ksubtitles and opensubtitles.com was not supported after .org went premium and it was a lot of work to get single subtitle files onto the box when unavailable.

Anyway, I decided to upgrade to the latest version and used the exact same Samsung Evo SD card in a Tanix W2 S905W2 2GB/16GB box. The install went fine. However, after scanning the movie library there are certain parts of the OS that run really sluggish making it unusable. I'm running a USB SSD for the 1080P movie library and movie playback starts fine, but there will be a spinning green circle in the middle of the screen for about 20 seconds while the movie is playing. The playback UI is inaccessible as it's loading and all buttons on the remote are ignored.

Some movie cover thumbnails are also slow to load or don't load at all. Even marking a movie as watched will have a spinning circle on the movie as it tries to get the action done. I would think it's the micro SD card, but I did not have this problem with the same card on the KM8 Pro and as far as I understand it the S905W2 is a sidegrade CPU. I've checked and there's plenty of free RAM and CPU load available.

Any idea what the problem is?

CoreELEC was working fine before I reinstalled it, at least in the aspect of playback. I reinstalled it to fix an image I had with exiting Dolby Vision media, which I posted here yesterday. Now Dolby Vision plays great but if I pause my media or start it from a point that I had previously exited all I get is a blank screen, even though it says HDR or Dolby Vision depending on what the media is in when I start to play it. It isn’t the end of the world that this is happening but I would like to be able to pause my shows and pick them up from where I paused them rather than restarting them. I’ll post this to the forum later but I figured I would start here even though there aren’t many people in the subreddit.

I have a Fire Cube 2nd gen running coreELEC to get Dovi profile 7 and the cube looks great when playing Dovi content but when I exit the content I get a blue wavy screen and popping noises in my speakers until I either hard restart the cube or play something else in Dovi. This happens for every Dovi profile, well 7 and 8 because those are the only ones I have, but not HDR content. I’m using PlexMod4Kodi, I don’t like just using Kodi. I’m on the latest stable version, I setup the cube just over a month ago. I attached an image of what I see when I get out of Dovi content.

Hey, I used to use Mecool K3 Pro for years but the Coreelec there is a bit dated now. I use it mainly for streaming DVBT and DVBS through TVHeadend server. I remember that new versions of Coreelec are strugling with tv tuners because there's no drivers. Is that still a case or is there a tv box which is newer than K3 Pro and works with latest Coreelec system? Thank you

Was looking on the Ugoos website and trying to figure out if this is the version that can play all the Dolby vision profiles etc. with CoreElec?

Also as I'm in Australia, am I best to buy it directly from Ugoos? Cheers

Hello all,new to here,just want to know which version of firmware should I use for my Samsung qn90b which doesn’t support Dolby vision,I have tencent 4pro and 5x,and I hope to use ce watch all dv p5 p7 p8 trans from dv to hdr10.

Before I spend money on an AM6+, I would like to know how stable it is running coreelec?

While reading FEL is very cool, how are the basic features?

I read that waking/sleeping the unit doesn’t always works well. Is it still the case?

HDMI-CEC seems broken too, true?

Any other downsides?

Thanks

Can I play a Tv show with the bluray menu? I read somewhere that kodi requires a specific naming structure to identify files but then it would play them as individual episodes without the menu.

Is there a way to play a TV series with a bluray menu? I'm using ugoos am6b+.

I am running CoreElec in my Homatics R 4K Plus and so far everything works great, but I am using the default skin and I would like to switch to a more aesthetically pleasing one. I tried to use Arctic Fuse 2 and after all the configuration was done, I had some issues with playback and DV at times. I read somewhere it could be due to the skin so I reinstalled everything and left it as it was and since then I had no trouble playing large files in DV or any other format. My question is what skins are recommended that won’t break things or are lightweight enough while making the menus better looking? Thanks

Is there a way to check the DV Profile playing? and whether it's profile 7 FEL or not? Without the use of the CPM build. Like an addon for kodi if it exists

Is there any possible way to use a VPN on Coreelec? I can’t find any up to date guides on it. The VPN service I pay for is Porton VPN so would ideally like to get this set up on there. I can’t set my VPN at router level currently, so that’s not an option for me.

I ordered an ugoos AM6B+ for my LG G4 today. I've been researching how to set it up and it's quite overwhelming. I've seen people mention CPM build a lot but I don't know what it means exactly. One thing I understand is how to install Coreelec but I'm unsure about what settings to change after the installation.

Hi guys,

Could someone please link me to an up to date guide on how to install coreelec on the Ugoos AM6B plus please. I’m new to this but thought I’d give it a go
