I know some people here use both MPV with a PC and a Ugoos connected to their TV. Everytime I switch to the Ugoos something just looks right about the picture across SDR and HDR content.
Apologies if this is been covered.
I'm fairly confused on next steps, my AM6B+ is running CE 21 just the standard one with the copied dovi.ko, it works fine with TV led FEL. Updates stopped months ago.
So I started looking at CE 21 builds with fixes and backports, P3i T4 being the one thats getting the most airtime.
But I read that they got dovi.ko working on 5.15 and therefore CE 22 is now working on AM6B+?
So what gives, is CE 22 the way to go or are there reasons why CE 21 is still on top?
Thanks!
My story is, LG C2 simply won't do anything DTS because they are too poor to buy the license for their customers. Also its DLNA client will downmix trueHD to some 6.1 strangeness, even if set to passthrough. It also gets picky about what format the subtitles are available. Never had an issue with the picture though, all HDR/DV plays fine. On the other hand Kodi on the xbox series x, never had issues with audio passthrough but occasionally likes to fuck up the image with DV. So I got tired of this and started looking into nvidia shield 2019 pro. But I like to tinker so I found coreelec and the AM6B+, which took forever to show up from aliexpress and go through customs etc.
So I read a few comments here and in the coreelec forums, i used this as a guide https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/guide-s922x-j-ugoos-am6b-coreelec-ng-installation-and-faqs/51231 but with the latest -ng build from here instead https://github.com/pannal/CoreELEC/releases/tag/T4a
overall pretty easy install on an sd card, reboot on recovery and done. Audio passthrough works just fine and while I haven't done many DV tests yet, seems to chew on everything I've added. My setup is very simple, minidlna running as an app in my truenas does the majority of streaming.
I'll experiment with skins next, I would like something that would look like a library.
Overall very impressed with coreelek and how well it works with the am6b+
I've been using the Apple TV to watch my Jellyfin library with Blu-rays of recent and my favorite movies/shows. Will start using this one to watch these with Dolby Vision Profile 7 FEL, which the Apple TV cannot decode/display completely and TrueHD Atmos, which it cannot pass through to my soundbar.
hey guys, I juust updated my Am6b+ with p3i T4a. I am trying to figure out the best settings for the LG OLED CX.
I am wondering if there are any specific, recommended settings for the CX in the p3i T4a options to get the most out of it. I had previously just used the standard TV-led DV setup with the older CoreELEC builds. Should I stick to that, or are there better tweaks now?
Can someone post their LG OLED p3i settings?
thanks!!!
Just a word of warning folks. I recently bought the Ugoos AM9 Pro from Ebay, paying £186. It turns out that it is a re-badged clone. The biggest giveaway is the 'maskrom' button on the underside. If your box has this, chances are it's a clone. Also, the MAC address comes back to a generic manufacturer in China. Finally, some of the Ugoos-specific menus are missing. It arrived in extremely convincing, good-quality packaging, and actually performs quite well on the Android side, but I just knew that something wasn't right. It wasn't handling Coreelec very well at all, constantly crashing. Now I know why. It uses an inferior Rockchip platform. Just a cautionary tale, be careful who you buy from. Many thanks to 'Denis', the reviewer on Amazon from whom I copied much of this information. The AI response to 'Ugoos AM9 clones' on Google said largely the same.
Hi All does anyone know of a Good skin to use on this Build so I can add Emby as a Client? Tia
Are my Audio and DV settings correct? Using an LG C3 with P3i T4 on the AM6B+
