In order to do that you have to connect both the Ugoos and your PC to the "ugreen usb 3.0 switch"?
Correct?

Not really an option for me. My Ugoos is hooked up below in the living room. My pc is upstairs in the bedroom :)

Well then I guess in your case a powerful router to handle 4k hdr streaming is the way to go.

According to my calculations:

HDR10 (10-bit): Approximately 1.07 billion colors,
Profile 5 Dolby Vision / IPTPQc2 (equivalent to 11.5-bit): Approximately 22.4 billion colors,
Profile 7 Dolby Vision (FEL, 12-bit): Approximately 68.7 billion colors.

Is this correct?

I can't find a definite source saying Profile 5 can display X amount of colours, so I had to do some calculations based on what we do know (HDR10 and Profile 7 FEL).

A lot of people seem to think P8 + RPU (based on BD bit rate, but 4K WEB-DLs are practically the same as 4K BD releases these days, bit rate doesn't really mean anything anymore with the current highly efficient WEB-DLs, not to mention the potential BL + RPU brightness mismatch probems) is better than P5 RPU, but the numbers don't lie.

P7 FEL > P5 > P8 (= P7 MEL)

Usually it's very hard for me to find the P5 version of a tv series online. Most are P8.

The Amateur 2025 appears to be static DV with no dynamic trims.

Would you recommend generating DV? Why/Why not?

The whole movie is under 175nits, it would be a waste of time and wouldn't make any difference unless you have a low-nit projector.

Not really, only WiFi 5 (802.11ac) 5.4GHz is required. If needed, just mix in a 5.4GHz WiFi 5 "mini repeater". It might work fine straight to the Ugoos through a couple walls, but I've never tried it.

* You _CANNOT_ use the 2.4GHz compatibility/IoT band.
