Wow ok, I stand corrected. Thanks for the link
Hi, i't's a while a while i'm following this discussion (I own a Panasonic gz1000 and ugoos am6 plus). Out there (tech forums) it's full of panasonic owners of gz series that set their oppo or bluray player on "tv-led" because they say the Tv supports it, and watch their movies this way. I'm just saying what i've read, not saying what's right or wrong, but maybe is possible that article is in error if they say Panasonic Gz does not support TV Led.

Ps. If in Panasonic menu/settings/hdr hdmi settings/ Dynamyc HDR/ Dolby Vision is turned off, The Ugoos lldv option disappears, replaced by "enable Dolby Vision" (of course it does not work because the option is turned off on tv.). But i don't think this option should show, a clue that something is wrong in the communication with the 2 devices.
Thanks for sharing. I had also seen those same forum posts on forcing Oppo to output TV led and was of the same understanding that it would enable TV led on pre-2020 Panasonics.
This has given me an idea to try - disable Dolby Vision in TV in order to get the “Enable Dolby Vision” option on Ugoos then once selected, enable DV on the TV again and see if there’s a picture..
I’ll test this and report back.

Update: With DV disabled on TV, I was able to get “Dolby Vision Enable” option on Ugoos after power cycling my AVR to renegotiate the HDMI. However, turning this on did not trigger DV in modified Kodi. Also setting to force DV on Ugoos also did not show DV. I did still get a picture, there just wasn’t DV. Which makes me think that TV led most likely is supported, but the DV isn’t activating from Ugoos while DV is disabled in TV despite setting it to be enabled in Ugoos.
It would be if a Panasonic owner with Ugoos had an EDID device like HDFury to test
I've borrowed a Sony x-700 to make a test with the movie Aquaman: lldv of Ugoos is brighter than x-700 dv (i've not made accurate comparisions, it's something visible). I've read a few pages ago of a lldv bug in bluray players, with muted colors and dimmer image..?. It could mean that Panasonic GZ is in lldv mode with x700 as source too.

Just gotta wait for a ugoos update, I just sent them another email.
Recently, the Ugoos firmware has been cracked (hole in the amlogic side), so it is very likely that there will be no new firmware.
What do you mean by this, cracked how? And why would this mean no new firmware? Usually something being cracked means it gets patched with new firmware

Possible, the AM7 has been looming for a while, wouldn’t be the first Chinese Android Manufacturer to ‘abandon’ a box.

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 using an unofficial build of Kodi and they probably need sample files to test.
Ignore this movie
Same issues on any AndroidTV too (No FF or Pausing)
Movie doesn't matter. Seeing the same with any FEL movie I play. Gladiator, Power Rangers as well.

Theres any way to convert a dv mkv dual layer mixed into 1 video file, to a normal dual layer mp4?
Extract the hevc stream from mkv with mkvextract (or tsmuxer, ffmpeg, mkvcleaver) and then demux the hevc stream with yusesoap tool (DEMUX.bat) which will split the layers and then build a new dual-layer dual-track mp4 with the mp4muxer

In the latest firmware has been added protection, so that the firmware cannot be installed on other "unnamed" china media boxes - fight against loss of money by Ugoos. Since this protection has been cracked, there may no longer be any significant improvements to the firmware.

What you mean
He means Cheap Chinese boxes are using Ugoos firmware on their boxes, Ugoos encrypted the firmware but it has been cracked.
There is no financial incentive to develop software for a chipset if people steal it to use on non Ugoos hardware.

Do cheap boxes with this SoC even exist or is this a direct incrimination of the developments with the Minix?

I'm definitely on the fence about returning mine at this point as I'm not really confident in any improvements. I got my AM6+ through a marketplace seller on Walmart.com. The return policy was standard for a large company, but I was mistaken in thinking it was shipped from the U.S. I learned in the process that it definitely originated in China and who knows how much work it will be to get the seller to reimburse me and if I'd have to get Walmart involved. This is basically why people wanted the option of the Minix in the first place....

if the software improvements can be ported to Corelec then it won’t make a difference which box you have, all will be good.

I just went through that latest CE thread (with appearances from you :) ) and that future doesn't look so bright as to require shades lol

Haha! I still have my Oppo 203 and its NAS capabilities to fall back on. These are obviously first world problems. I'm just so tired of keeping separate processes and libraries. I want the whole gang under one roof!

this player is amazing in my opinion. I read that it is sometimes buggy with disc playback but from my experience with file playback via USB, it's 100% stable/reliable.

last night I found another great thing this player can do: If you connect an HDR10 only TV and play a dual-layer DV TS file, the x700 is somehow tonemapping FEL with dynamic metadata to HDR10. I knew this worked for p5 files but it's very surprising that it also works with profile 7 DV FEL/MEL.

fel test file:
*I encoded my capture file if you want to see the fel ghosting and dynamic meta flashing:(keep in mind, this is on an HDR10 TV.. so this is kind of ''dynamic'' HDR and 12bits enhancement on a static HDR10 TV/PJ :shock: :shock: it is basically what the vertex 2 has been promoting )
