Since you got the same TV as me, mind I ask you what is your TV settings? i presume you are using TV led setup witj Ugoos?

What settings do you mean? Yes, I am using TV-led DV, of course.

The settings inside your TV picture, like do you use tone mapping off or gradation pref? And other options, maybe something specific?
Also any special Coreelec settings for TV-LED?

 

[korbus]

For DV, I use the Dolby Vision Dark preset, TM off, for HDR10/SDR I use Professional (with Gradation Preferred for HDR10). The TV is professionally calibrated.
Below are my DV-related settings (yes, I know L6 doesn't do anything and I set L5 to Source because a bit of subtitle overlapping the letterbox doesn't really bother me).

For SDR8 + SDR10 I have set it to ''SDR''
I read this here a while ago. Looks great to me but I did not do any side to side comparisons.

Oh, I missed that one, thanks. I might give it a try, but the TV does a great job of displaying SDR anyway.

Ah, the old audio drop outs issue... I still haven't been able to play The Martian Extended Edition without these micro drop outs.
Tried BD folder, every demuxer and remuxer, different players (all Kodi), with no luck.
Hope you guys make some progress as it might help me to put that one to bed.

You're not the only one. That is the worst (I can't say best) title that demonstrate the issues. I stopped trying to fix it so I just use the DTS-MA audio from the Blu-ray on my 4K UHD version.

Why don't you use the Dolby TrueHD 7.1 audio track from the 4k UHD version?

or does this have the same problem as the Dolby Atmos track on that disc ?

EDIT : I guess The Martian Theatrical cut doesn't have these problems? Or do you also have audio drops with that version (in combination with the Atmos track)? I still havent purchased this movie yet, so would like to know.

Yes, that was one of the first 4K UHD discs to really show the audio drop problems with seamless branching titles with Atmos. There were a lot of others that had the same issue but most were fixed via decoder updates (LAV, and system fixes on players) and re-ripping or remixing the affected discs. Unfortunately, there were several, if not about a dozen (if not more) titles, that could NOT be fixed no matter what method you use to what updates were made to any software. Disney Atmos discs were the worst for audio drops but those were mostly fixed software updates on players and ripping/remuxing software.

The creator’s intent is always the HDR master without tone mapping and dynamic metadata (DV/HDR10+) preserves that artistic intent better than static HDR10.

The only issue with hybrids is when no grade check is done to confirm that both sources come from the same master. DV is often brighter on streaming than HDR10 on disc, and if you’re not careful, mismatches can occur and you can ruin the image intended brightness.

This is how you can do a proper hybrid remux using DV metadata from web.

That's very helpful reply, thanks for that. So my understanding is that, if done properly it adds value to the movie, otherwise is best to watch untouched.

Hey guys, are there any settings worth considering for performance or whatever in advancedsettings.xml for CPM A14 build?

 

[S1l3nc0r]

Hi, I just received my AMB6+, and cant wait to get it set up with the CPM build.
I have a LG C4, and some FEL7 titles stored locally.

Currently I am using a HTPC with the AF2 skin completely filled and set up the way I want it.

I would like to know if it is possible to:

• create a backup on my HTPC, and transfer that to the CPM build
• transfer my regular AF2 settings to the AF2 CPM version?

Thanks in advance

 

[Bossmann316]

No always start fresh and dont mix from htpc and CoreElec

 

[S1l3nc0r]

No always start fresh and dont mix from htpc and CoreElec

Thanks, thats clear.

This will be a pretty lenghty weekend job then

 

[Sebastiii]

Hi,
I'm testing coreelec and db is on my NAS, so, using advanced config.xml to connect to it and it works, so this side works, each KODI version 20, 21, alpha etc. create a new DB (migration when starting the first time) and only one.
After just need to configuration the option in skin etc. but I don't start from fresh for sure about the DB maybe is not a good idea but seems to works good.

I have a strange issue which I am not sure, but when I am watching movies on Ugoos there seems to be a weird motion. Its not like it’s lagging but its less smooth. Most notable its seen in panning, feels like interpolation is different. When I compare the same scene in TV native plex app, it almost feels like soap opera effect sometimes, because its more smooth.

I am not sure if this is a sign that Ugoos is dropping frames? Can I somehow check debug or where should I look for performance verifications?

 

[Bossmann316]

Ugoos plays files at there native true fps , so maybe tv app dont play 23,976 fps at 23,976? i’m guessing it is 60hz.
23,976 has less fps vs 50/60 fps files so not as smooth . But playing 23,976 files at 50/60 hz makes other problem.
Just live with it 😀. Press ”O” to see status of your file in Kodi when playing the video

i think your right, Native probably plays at 60hz and makes it appear more smooth.

Btw like I seen on this videos to setup the Ugoos:

And some other videos, in the Extended Process Info, the AML fps is always around 20-22fps is this normal? Also the video queue jumps sometimes from 40-99, like in his videos and other examples I saw. Anybody else has this?

I'm getting a shocking amount of black screen signal drop outs since the latest nightly update.
Can't even reboot now without it happening and end up having to pull the power cord every time.

Wish I wouldn't have updated at all.

Is this issue resolved on the CPM builds?

There are no big problems on cpm build A14.
I dont understand why you would prefer a nightly build. A14 is all I need and most probably also all you need.
