The Ugoos has no problem with HD audio at the moment when you launch Kodi out of Android? Last I heard the amlogic soc had some sort of issue where you can only get HD audio out of CoreELEC Kodi.
yes, confirm HD audio works in Kodi.

Is it just Ugoos who utilize the newest AmLogic chipset that can perfect Dolby Vision decoding with FEL? (Ignoring Blu-Ray players)

So I have the Chinoppo, 2 Shield 2019 Pro, 4K firestick, Zidoo Z9X, had the Google thing with the long name and sold it because it can’t do lossless audio, what do I buy next, is this Ugog a winner?
I have the Shield 2019 Pro, FireTV 4k Stick, Zidoo Z9X, Apple TV 4K, Minix U22-XJ, X96 Max+ with CoreELEC and the Ugoos AM6 Plus :D
For DV FEL, the Ugoos is the best choice.
Why just "DV FEL", does the Ugoos have any issues with other media formats outside of DV FEL? Just curious since i'm looking for a MP that playbacks most things with as good quality as possible.

The Ugoos as all Amlogic, only with CoreELEC is perfect for media playback. You can use with dual boot. DV playback is not working with CoreELEC now, because no 64 bit dovi.ko module.

Anroid Kodi 19 DV build seems to play all my other media including DV MEL mkv perfectly so just needs the FEL sorting and then in my opinion its perfect.

Is FEL even confirmed in upcoming Kodi 19 updates though? Kind of annoying that one would need to switch constantly. Also I noticed that the Ugoos is not in my country, but the Minix NEO U22-XJ is which uses the same chipset as the Ugoos, anyone can confirm if the Minix is able to do flawless DV with FEL?

You don't need to switch, just use the Android Kodi 19 DV build to play everything - it works fine. I've actually got a Minix U22 sitting in front of me that I'm going to test today so I'll let you know shortly how well it works.

I've also noticed if you completley quit Kodi and and restart it and play a FEL mkv straight away they play a lot better. Hopefully the build will be refined soon.

Looks like Memory Management issue with Kodi
With my AndroidTV, the FEL/MEL mkv playback is a lottery. DV MKV WEB-DLs playback is fine though

real web-dl single layer DV of Stranger Things season 3 play nicely.
This is very old but where did you find a DV Web-DL? I've never seen that, only DV from Blu-ray rips.
There are 3 single layer DV profile 05.06 web-dl releases circulating on the web.
Stranger things S03
Mandalorian S01
Star Wars New Hope (which I successfully added a trueHD Atmos track)

the last two can be found on one of the most known public torrent websites. ST can be found on a Russian tracker.

I’ve searched high and low for the Star Wars Dolby Vision, but couldn’t find it on any tracker I know of. Any other tips? (I know it’s been a while but any help would be much appreciated :) )

Hi , do you have more information on cross flashing the U22, is it exactly the same hardware / Memory?
Thanks

The original Ugoos fw is not working, you need to use this version: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtop ... y103863672

How can we tell Minix is processing the colors correctly and plays the second HEVC stream with EL layer like a regular Blu-Ray player? For a long time, we thought the same thing with Shield, but Shield discards the EL
