Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Watched a new 1917 mkv in its entirety with Kodi - no fast forwarding or pausing. The Ugoos glitched a couple times at like the 35m mark and then around 80m. It was similar to what it does at the start and eventually fixes itself. Not sure how to convey issues like these to Ugoos support. We are usi...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Back at the Ugoos grind instead of working on a Friday lol. I seem to have figured out the issue with transcoding DTS, so that's good news for me at least. I made an 1.16.3 MKV of Power Rangers a bit ago and have been playing around with it in the latest Plex Beta and Fandango's Kodi. I can definite...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

This Ugoos, man :cry: You can add DTS transcoding to the list of things it cannot do properly. Wish I could just do full passthrough, but I have the Sonos Arc 5.1 set and need transcoding capabilities as it can't receive DTS. It works great on the Shield for the most part (Kodi and Plex). When testi...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

You guys are lifesavers, thanks! At least I've got the basic setup done now. Think I might have a beer or four before I start working on this thing some more....

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Yeah, it's not exactly a friendly plug & play device. Since yesterday I still haven't figured out how to exactly set up NFS client in Android to work. Highly irritating. Please let me know if you succeed :lol: The "Remote Control Buttons" app is worthless, leaving the remote itself re...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

JFC rebooting several times did nothing, but of course physically unplugging the power and plugging it back in made the ethernet work. This device is going to be a rollercoast ride isn't it? :lol: EDIT: LMAO that also fixed my issue with the OTA firmware not working. I ran it again with no changes a...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Ugoos owners, what method are you using to install the 0.4 firmware? Just got my AM6 Plus yesterday. Since then I've been trying my *ss off to install any OTA from USB stick. No dice. Everytime I got "bad file descriptor" error. I wanted to try this dualboot thing so today I installed the...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Ugoos owners, what method are you using to install the 0.4 firmware? I'm following the OTA FIRMWARE GUIDE from this page (going to about menu and finding AM6_ota_0.4.0.zip) -- https://ugoos.com/firmware-upgrade-guide-for-amlogic-devices After reboot it's bringing me to recovery where it's failing th...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

I reported this to Ugoos, they replied to check what version firmware I was on (0.4.0). At least I’ve had a reply. Overall I’m happy with the Dolby Vision / TrueHD performance as long as the files are ripped correctly, hope they can fix the colour space issue for SD/HDR10. I have had a rely from Ug...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

It looks like the best options to contact Ugoos is support@ugoos.net, eugene@ugoos.net, and @UgoosLtd Twitter handle. I can certainly reach out, but what do we need to ask them to do technically? I think I have a grasp, but someone else should put words in my mouth to get the best result I think lol...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

With DV off, are you getting the correct colours now for the SDR/HDR10 test patterns? If so, it's something that should be easy for Ugoos to fix as bobby mentioned (match content colourspace with DV on). Good news, both HDR10 and SDR modes are accurate in 12bits on the UGOOS. So this the best andro...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Yep, you have to turn off DV in order to get 12 or 10 bits in HDR10 otherwise you're stuck in 8bit for everything. that sucks!! We can fix! Now which of us knows the most Chinese to contact support?? :lol: Edit: But seriously, that doesn't sound like a hard thing to fix if we could figure out the b...
