And one last question, passing this test can we assure that this device is fully using the FEL layer as it should?
yep, it confirms that your device is processing the FEL and not ignoring it like the Shield and the LG CX. If it's processing it properly is another question.
You can also test Total Recall at 43minutes. The HDR10 base layer is poorly encoded and only FEL DV can save it.

5 seconds,
Yes the test was the new version, colors were saturated before the update
Plus u need plex pass on this device to play hdr, plus it’s LLDV only
The device does drop frames sometimes not very noticeable

Thanks for your answer @Manixx2020beyound.
I've got Plex beta without Plexpass and it renders every HDR, I believe that the Plexpass is only needed for HDR to SDR Tone Mapping.
Since the february update I can't see any frame drop in any playback, with high bandwith files.

How do you guess the new Chromecast with Google TV is LLDV only? is very difficult to obtain DV info about this device...

And, can you explain what are the consequences of this LLDV only processing?
The image quality I observe is really good, and I think I've got a good eye for this, but I can't compare with nothing.

Thanks in advance :)

He has the HDfury Vertex which can tell if it's lldv or tv-led DV.

Yes you can, with Kodi (https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=360018) or Plex.
There is also a demo ExoPlayer app but it has to be launched from Kodi and requires a specific config for that.
Thank You, Kodi works great (although I had to install an NFS server on Win10 to get acces to files, smb didn't work from Kodi for whatever reason).
And thanks all the work You did as well with these DV projects!

Hi there, I could not get SMB working on Kodi 19 either. I am using the DV modified Kodi and it works like a charm on Nvidia Shield for both MEL and FEL MKV DV files.

What program have you used for NFS sharing on Windows 10 ? I could not get it to fully work - I was able to visualize the files on Kodi via NFS share, but they would not play...

WinNFSd command line util, and I had to specify an alias and set the adress manually in Kodi.

I've tested the Ugoos AM6 Plus media player (Amlogic S922X-J), and it seems, the internal player correctly processing the Full Enhancement Layer from DTDL mp4 file!

I'm tried with Kodi 19 custom build and working same with the P7 STDL mkv too!

have you also tried Plex since it should already be supporting P7 STDL mkvs?

Are you sure? It supports lossless audio passthrough in CoreELEC, but in Android I have only seen people complain that lossless audio passthrough doesn't work due to a bug from Amlogic. The MINIX NEO U22X-J, which also runs on the S922X-J, has the exact same problem, which they are also waiting on Amlogic to resolve.

Can you personally confirm that TrueHD/DTS-HD MA is being passed through on the AM6 Plus in Android (e.g. with a picture/video of the front display of your receiver showing TrueHD/DTS-HD MA)?
