If I install the Arctic Zephyr Reloaded skin, how do I make their menus appear, with movie posters & descriptions, actor details etc, when I mount my external drives?

When play a 4K Remux movie from an external drive (or stop one), I seem to lose the connection to my TV for about 5 to 10 seconds (the Ugoos is connected to an Amp before the TV).

How do I get a seamless experience?

When playing anything the picture seems way oversharpened.

I'm comparing this to movie playback from a PC > Amp > TV (using MPC-BE software).

Is there a way to reduce sharpening (apart from the TV itself)?

When the box starts up I get the screen called "Spotlight" displaying random content (that shows movie posters and descriptions). How do I remove that and instead show the contents of my drives?

Thank you.

I've just received the Ugoos AM9 Pro through the door.

Do I need to keep the default box's firmware before I install CoreElec, or can I update the box's firmware, install CoreElec, and then update the box in the future, without breaking CoreElec?

Thank you.

Are there any plans to add more Philips Hue upgrades to the X2?

i.e. more percentage brightness increase steps instead of just 10, 50 and 80%.

Maybe using the volume up/down to increase/decrease brightness in incremental steps (5 or 10%).

Or controls to start/stop Sync Box syncing etc?

Thanks.

If I connect my PC to a TV via an Amp. Is there any software that would allow me to view 4K Remux files in either HDR10+ or Dolby Vision?

That's assuming that all the equipment is HDR10+ and DV compatible.

At the moment my TV can play in HDR10 via PC, and DV, if I connect a hard drive to the TV.

But I want to only playback from my PC to get full audio effect.

I don't want to connect HD's to the TV.

I plan to upgrade my TV which would include HDR10+.

Thank you.
