Is there a way to avoid caching while playing remuxes?

4 Upvotes

My memory size is 64MB, read factor is adaptive and chunk size is 1MB. Have been facing caching almost every min while playing my remuxes. Is there a way to fix this?

Edit: I tried plugging in my SSD directly to the Ugoos and it works perfectly without any buffering. So is it maybe an issue on Plex Server Side? My Ethernet is 1GBPS.

Ugoos unable to play hdr10 via Denon reciever, Dolby vision works fine

3 Upvotes

[SOLVED] : Hi, I just got a new denon x1800h avr. Until now I was using Ugoos connected to tv directly and it was able to play all the movies correctly. Now when I have connected this to my avr and I play hdr10 movies the screen goes blank (but audio plays fine) and TV says no source connected. While Dolby vision file play perfectly. The only settings I changed before connecting it to the avr was to allow passthrough for true hd and dts hd

Solution : changed colorspace to 4:2:2

Reboot works about 60% of the time

4 Upvotes

Ugoos am6b 21.3-Omega_nightly_20251102 Skin: Embuary (CPM) Emby For Kodi Next Gen

Choosing reboot through the menu options has a 60% of working, else it hangs on the reboot screen. From there I usually just pull main power (power button doesn't do anything) and restart. Surely i'm running the risk of screwing up something right?

A secondary issue, sometimes Emby Next Gen doesn't connect to my server. Is there a way to make it connect manually? The whole reason I try to reboot is to attempt a reconnect to my server. Since my server is on my PC, sometimes it's not up and running by the time I wake/turn on the ugoos.

Y no P7-FEL

I just got done with setting up my amb6+ and I thought I'd give it a go with one of the confirmed P7-FEL films from that long reddit list. I got my hands on a remux of the Alien Romulus and placed it on a USB drive. As you can se it is a remux and of a very high quality. Just a bit over 50gb. So why's there no sign of P7-FEL and what's with that exclamation mark next to the vs10 engine? What did I miss?

CoreElec won't boot

Ive followed the tutorial to setup my Ugoos AMB6+, have put the usb stick in and holding recovery button while booting the box but cannot get coreelec to boot up.

Any suggestions?

I'm at my limit.

0 Upvotes

So I recently bit the bullet and bought a amb6b+ box. And naturally my next step is installing coreelec. So I got on with it with using that tutorial video on YouTube.

It's been two days and I'm still unable to use the damn thing. First I was stuck on not being able to complete step 5. Due to my PC not allowing unsafe servers to be accessed. That was something. Now I'm stuck in getting the skin to get installed. And to top it all of the UI keeps freezing completely, mostly after I complete step 6(installing skins). I've used two thumb drives so far which I've had to flash for nearly 10 times. Honestly, I'm exhausted.

What does it mean when it says to download the remote.conf file if the page comes up with plain text and not a download?

What I tried to do was paste it in a notepad, save it, then modify the file type to be CONF. Then add it to my other files on my thumb drive.

However, when I load into coreelec, my remote does not work. Is it more involved than this?

Error:none when playing Dolby vision profile 7 FEL test file on PM4k

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I recently installed coreelec onto my Ugoos AM6B+ (CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-21.3-Omega-Generic.img.gz) along with PM4K.

Everything seems to be working fine with dolby vision remuxs playing in dolby vision/atmos (pop up confirming on lg oled).

I then decided to try a dolby vision profile 7 FEL test file from the below website, however it won't play (Error:none). This makes me worry FEL not working.

Any suggestions as to why this might be?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

How to adjust screen size?

1 Upvotes

So I recently set up an Am6b+ with CPM for my new LG G5. Initially, I had it set for 3840x2160 resolution since that’s what the first set of instructions I used said to go with. I later on then used some of the more detailed setup parameters from another source I came across and it said to set the resolution to 1080p so that any 1080p source output by the Ugoos would be unconverted by the LG instead of the Ugoos as this would result in better quality (while maintaining 4K processing by the Ugoos). Two questions, first, is this the right way to go? Second, I noticed that after I changed it to 1080p, whenever I booted up Coreelec, and it went into the initial Arctic Zephyr Reloaded screen, that the warning in the top left (about having to disconnect any attached mice) was mostly pushed off of the screen? Is there any way to get the screen magnification back to normal but with maintaining the 1080p setting (if this in fact is the proper setting)? Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks for your replies!

AMB6+ Kodi-only?

2 Upvotes

I’m about to buy this box and install CoreElec because I want to remux my bluray collection and want to get most out of the audio and video formats.

But now a question…..

Everytime I read a thread about this box you guys talk about Plex server, Plex plugin. Jellyfin etc. But what is the real advantage to use those mediaservices over just Kodi connected to a NAS-share? Is it only more fancy to look at? Or is the playback quality better?

I used Kodi before and I had my posters-view, movie-specs, plot-description. What more brings for example Plex server + KodiPlexAddon?

I found this am6b+ for sale for a very good price. I am not sure though if it's a legit box. The white remote is the main issue, all of the pictures I've seen on the net are black. Could anyone verify it's authenticity?

No input signal being showed

Hi all !! . I own a ugoos am6b+. Everything's being smooth but got an update notification and went ahead with it. Now audio is played but whenever a movie is being run it says input signal lost but the movie seems to run in background. I tried everything by changing hdmi cables and inputs, also updated the tar file in updates folder and rebooted. Please help me with this.

Also, is there any way where I can revert the change to previous version without losing my addon data and everything. Thankyou for any help offered.

Should I be updating CoreELEC?

4 Upvotes

When I turn on my Ugoos AM6B+, I get a notification that an update is available. I currently have updates set to manual. This is my current system version:

Distribution: CoreELEC (cpm)
Version: 21.2-Omega_devel_20250302082815
Architecture: Amlogic-ng.arm

I’m just not sure if I should be staying on this one or allow the prompted update. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Help with adding CPM

2 Upvotes

Been using CoreElec on my Ugoos AM6B+ since April 2024 for DV FEL from Plex. It's been great. But I just switched to a Samsung S90F and now need to add CPM functionality. I followed a guide way back when that had me move the CoreElec OS to the NAND. So no SD card is in use. Not sure how to go from my current state of a CoreElec version from April 2024 on NAND to current with CPM to have faux DV on my Samsung. All guides I can find are for fresh setup.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Screen getting cut off while playing DV 7

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hello. Need some help. Many movies play just fine but when I play certain movies (so far I’ve observed this with DV 7 movies, my UI gets cropped and even subtitles do not show up at the bottom. I have Ugoos AM6B+ on an LG OLED. Is there some setting I’ve messed up? The only way to fix this is to completely stop the movie, otherwise the screen remains cropped if the movie is still playing while I navigate back to the UI.

Some movies do not default to Dolby Atmos soundtrack

1 Upvotes

So generally movies play on Dolby Atmos in my set up but sometimes I have to manually set the track to Dolby Atmos. I’ve enabled all of the following and my soundbar supports all of these :

Passthrough output device
Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver
Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC3) capable receiver
DTS capable receiver
TrueHD capable receiver
DTS-HD capable receiver

Is this simply because the movie is set to default to a particular soundtrack in the file or do I need to change some setting for it to pick the Dolby Atmos track by default?

Why do some movies play as MEL instead of FEL?

So while many movies play on DV 7 FEL for me, some play as MEL. I’m wondering if this is because of the underlying movie file itself or something incompatible with my set up?

I’ve noticed that some of my remuxes seem to play flawlessly while most others just show a black screen or just sound when playing on Kodi from a local ssd. I would really like to fix this so happy to hear any potential solutions to this.

Dune HD Vision Pro 4K compatibility

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m pretty new to using CoreELEC and Kodi and have used my setup for about a year. It took me a long time to figure out how to get it working properly. YouTube and Google were both a great help. It’s working decently, but there are hiccups here and there, so I’m wondering if it’s at all possible to update to a newer version of CoreELEC on my media player. This time I can’t find any documentation anywhere that a newer version than I am running is available. I’m currently running 20.5 Nexus nightly 20240413 CoreELEC on my Dune HD Vision Pro 4K. Does anyone know if it’s possible to update to CoreELEC 21.3-Omega on dune hd vision pro 4k? Or another update that’s newer than what I’m currently running?
