Wow that's some collection.
I have 2x shields , Apple tv , ONN basic , ONN Pro and a couple of firesticks.
That basic ONN , am wondering if it can be flashed with CoreElec ?

Apple TV 4K (multiple), nVidia Shield TV (second generation), Google Chromecast with Google TV, Amazon Fire TV Sticks (various)...
Raspberry Pi (all models pretty much), Odroid N2, Odroid C4.
AM6B+, Vero V, Vero 4K, and various other AMLogic boxes...

Apple TV 4K is used for all streaming viewing - it's just by far the best DRM solution with content frame rate switching I've found.

AM6B+ (CoreElec), Vero V (OSMC) and Raspberry Pi 5 (LibreElec) are my main boxes for Kodi.  All have pluses and minuses. (My AM6B+ chokes on high bitrate 1080p50 10-bit SDR h.265/HEVC self-encoded stuff that the Pi 5 plays perfectly for instance)

You seriously need some mental intervention.

You're saying that ?! Several of us here do ! Wish Apple TV supported HD audio passthrough & allowed Kodi via its TV App Store. Know there are hacky ways to do it (not to mention the 7-day issue) or pay for an annual subscription (feels just wrong IMHO). Especially as a new model is supposedly coming out this year.

anyone in Europe interested the HOMATICS Box R 4K Plus is on sale in aliexpress
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/100500703...pt=glo2deu


EU plug: $86.73
then find a $3 coupon, AliExpress allocates certain amount each day then resets them, so if you didn't get the coupon today, get early tommorow

total $83.73, after taxes $100.47 or euro 97.08

If you are from US then find one just above $100, to get $12 off. For UK it works out slightly better from the link I posted.
You could also buy a universal adapter for your country for under a dollar also

3D playback remains broken on Ugoos AM6B+ w/CE ... unsure if the issue affects S905X4-based boxes. CE devs not responding and/or don't seem to care. For 3D, use Realtek-based Dune or Zidoo players, and alternatively Vero V.

Hello,

what is the best budget device overall for just enjoying HDR+ and DV movie BLU-RAY without break the bank please ? (I want to enjoy only local media, so a pure kodi device is a good option, i dont care about Netflix etc. ^^)

Also i don’t care about 3D, or FEL or anything else sounds like too complicated for me ^^'.

Ugoos AM6B+ is expensive in EU (around 200E), it is to expensive for just a "device".

What is your thought about the new ones from Ugoos ? Nobody talks about it.

Best regards,

sorry for my bad english

Did you read the first posts in this thread?

"best budget device overall for just enjoying HDR+ and DV" and "pure kodi device is a good option" = Dune HD Pro Vision 4K w/CoreELEC (US$149) or Ugoos X4Q Extra ($122 approx) also w/CE. Both support UHD DV FEL if that's important to you. Homatics Box R 4K Plus is also a solid (FEL-supported) option for $100-ish. You can just use CE off a mSD card and ignore the Android TV side if you don't need Netflix, etc.

Hello MatteN,

yes, of course, I read it. I’m not an idiot.

But when I said best budget device, it's mean other devices not listed in the theard (around 100E).

Hello hdmkv,

thanks you for your advice.

best regards.

Hello MatteN,

Maybe because there are none that can do HDR10+ & DV for that price.

He may be in luck .

Which country are you from? hdmkv recommendation imo is the best. Best support, bugs already worked out and everything works
If you buy from aliexpress , you might get coupons in your country. I get it in UK so I get 12 euros off. Aliexpress allocated a certain amount each day so if you miss it today, get it tomorrow.

Since you mentioned "Also i don’t care about 3D, or FEL or anything else sounds like too complicated for me ^^'." then the other "possible" options might be to technical for you.

I (re)ordered one... what the heck. $98.08 shipped w/tax included to the U.S., but w/EU plug (have an adapter), using coupon RMN3.
