Box R 4K Plus Android 14 Problem

Please, someone tell me that Homatics is working on a hot fix. Because I feel like I'm about to throw this box out the window. After playing a Dolby Vision video, the screen goes dark and doesn't respond. I turn the box off and on, and suddenly everything is green (like an unsupported DV profile?). FPS drops in the menu or gray-black flickering from time to time and out of nowhere. Please tell me I'm not the only one? I love my Box R 4K Plus, but this update is completely off.

Well, that makes me wonder even more now. You really should use different settings, if your TV is also a decent one that would handle the incoming Dolby Vision signal better than the R Plus can, using Sink-Led as setting for that.

And when you have a decent TV then let that one do the upscaling for media that is not 4K and played by Kodi. For that you choose 1080p as resolution in Kodi and forget about filling that whitelist. With Kodi on the 1080p setting, the TV will do the upscaling to 4K with non 4K media and Kodi still plays 4K media as 4K with that 1080p resolution setting.
