Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus, ISO, True HD Atmos, DTS:X, Dolby Vision

[@onlyzach1]

Can you test out how this works as a Plex player? I'm mainly interested in 4K DV, HDR support vidoe wise and all the audio codecs you talked in the video about passing through. This is with Andorid 12 being installed. Please let me know, thanks! Would greatly appreciate it.

[@Kandidat1999]

This is all working only when you install the new beta firmware 12.8.6557, if you buy it, it still comes with ATV11 installed and that sucks.

[@velocci6666]

When you played the .iso file, did you use plex?

[@Copernicus22]

He said he used the Dune HD player

[@Bizija123]

I purchased the Dune Box R recently and found that plex can't direct play any large 4k files across the internet at all, not even HDR10, let alone dolby vision on this box. Tried on hardwired ethernet and wifi 6. The box has Android 11. I Played with the settings all day and couldn't get it to play the movies. Had to return it.

[@Mahesh-n4k]

Hey guys. It will play DTS HD and DTSX .. via bitstream now. With the new firmware update.

[@markmartin2243]

What firmware are you speaking of. On the Dune HD app or android firmware? What are you on currently?

[@DailyHiFi]

I'm on Android 12. It was on their website. Maybe they took it down? If not, it should still be there.

Does it do 3D isos?

[@joentell]

I haven't tried that

[@aptwolf]

Does anyone have insights when a streaming box (not TV) will be released into the market that's certified by IMAX for IMAX:DTS:X audio on Disney+

[@bigredwag]

Sounds like this new IMAX format requires hardware decode. If true, I'm guessing it won't be in any low end streaming devices. Probably looking at maybe a nexgen Apple TV or Shield (🤞)

Can you use it with my logitech harmony elite remote with hub ?

I tried the Dune but connecting via network to the drives weren't working well, especially on 4k remux through Plex or Dune HD. I have plenty of bandwidth but neither direct Ethernet or wifi connection was able to get to the high bit rate needed and regularly would stutter. Unfortunately returned it and stuck with the shield, which just works. Only way I got it to work on Dune was by using an external SSD with the file loaded and then plugged direct into the Dune.

[@alokpisal]

is this box google certified.... I mean google play protect?

[@Ronildoquek]

2 issues still present with android tv 12 with this. Somehow Disney+ doesn’t work in Atmos. Netflix and prime works. KZbin has lip sync issues. Not sure how to solve this. No issues with prime and Netflix. Looks like an app issue

[@markvanelswyk1906]

Hey, Can you please give me the new android 12 update because it's been removed from the Dune Website ?

[@Saturn2888]

HDR works on KZbin on the Shield. What are you seeing that I'm not? What doesn't work is HLG, but HDR10 works fine.

[@bigredwag]

HLG doesn't work on shield?

[@Saturn2888]

@@bigredwag I've tried HLG files in Plex and on KZbin. They work on my Roku both on Plex and KZbin.

[@joentell]

Does Faces in 8K show up in HDR for you on YT on the Shield?

[@Saturn2888]

@@joentell I swear I had KZbin HDR working before. Wild! I guess I just didn't notice or maybe I only tested HLG HDR. Looks like VP9 profile 2 is what KZbinr uses. It's proprietary and requires some special chip that the Shield doesn't have. Blows my mind!

[@Saturn2888]

Omg, that explains why the downloaded Digital Foundry HDR videos I was trying to test in Plex didn't work. It's because VP9 profile 2 isn't supported! That confirms it.

I know a few torrents you need to contact the ISP on.

Up to you if this matters, but I don't trust Chinese company devices, and this is one of those. It's a big "who knows?" situation when security is concerned.

[@chebrubin]

Lets stop talking about Chinese and talk about the PRC.

@@chebrubin lets stop not explaining why you say that, cause average Joe's (no pun intended) don't know what dafk you're on about...especially if were busy on an av site. Could just say the communist govt I guess.

[@joentell]

This is from a Russian company. Hardware likely from China. You might not like that either.

[@Saturn2888]

@@joentell I'd prefer not having stuff from China, but it's the Chinese manufacturers I watch out for. They're always found to be doing some sort of spying of your network, or they just have some vulns that never get fixed. Not sure about the Russian one. Honestly, I've never had any Russian electronics in my life. I thought all these devices were straight from China. My bad if the Dune is not.

[@joentell]

@@Saturn2888 It's smart to be cautious. If you are technical, there are ways to see what a device is calling back to.
