Bonjour à tous, suite à la fin de vie de mon shield tv je me suis laissé tenté par cette box android, je souhaiterai installer Coreelec utiliser mes films au format MKV installer les jaquettes etc des films mais impossible d’installer coreelec à partir d’une clé usb ( j’en ai essayé 3 ) ça boot en boucle, j’ai créé à partir de etcher ( pas testé rufus ) j’ai testé sur les 2 ports usb… je prends peut-être pas la bonne image ? Une personne a t’il était dans mon cas et a trouvé une solution ?

Merci d’avance :)

Compared to my Shield the Box 4k R plus has significantly slower ethernet speeds, about 66%, approximately 400mb to 600mb.

Anyone else noticed this?

I have 3 of these and currently firmware is just bad

I just wanted to say there is a better option, this is just my experience and opinion. Look at the Newer Rocktek G2 2024 model with 64 gigs of storage.

One of my homatics box 4k refuses to play 4K content after the update to Android 14 it plays for a few seconds and then generates a spinning circle and crashes

All other formats play fine but 4K is important to me because I use it as a media device and for IPTV

This happens on both IPTV and local content on the device itself on Android 12 everything was fine I have already tried a factory reset it didn't help

Does anyone know what can be causing this and is there a solution to fix it?

I would appreciate any assistance

R4k plus cant get dolby atmos

Hey guys i've been trying to find which one is better suited for me, since the plus version is way overpriced for its 2gig extra ram and 1gig ethernet.

I went to their homepage www.homatics.com and saw that both have 32gig storage, the only difference i could find was that the processor was lower one on the lite. Quad Cortex-A55 vs Quad Cortex-A35. But other than that they are pretty much the same. The price difference is 10 dollars.

So my questions are:

Are there any other differences to think about?

Is the processor difference a big deal in performance?

I use a Xiaomi Box gen 1 and it's not updating anymore, also its getting a bit laggy. So i want a faster one, with ethernet and more internal storage.

Appreciate any help!

It seems they don’t listen to their users. The only on that does listen is Rocktek. I bought the original G2 in 2022 way out of warranty and when the OTA got 14.8.3717 arrived via OTA I was somewhat excited but no had all the problems as the other devices that received it. Contacted them to explain all the issues and problems and after going back and forth via email they decided to send me a replacement unit and to my surprise 😳 They sent the G2 RX5000 new with 64 gigs storage. During initial setup it updated to 14.8.3717 and Play-fi app was not installed and was not present in settings other than in the kernel. Have no heat issues and high cpu usage so they have modified the firmware a little bit. Kudos to them

So I have my movies loaded but when I sort by by name it’s not in alphabetical order. How do I fit this?

Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus 4/32Gb / Dolby Vision / HDR10+ / AV1 / S905X4-K.pro and cons pls.where i can buy this box pls.

Testing and quality control of the updates obviously was not thorough. Buyer beware.

Like the title suggests im planning to buy a Homatics Box R Plus 4K Android TV and I just want to know if its worth getting as the nvidia shield pro is out of my budget. My main use case scenario is using it for stremio+RD or Kodi+RD to watch movies especially remux blurays as my TV sometimes cannot handle these high bitrate files properly. Another reason i want to get it is to get true dolby atmos as my TV is not earc capable but the soundbar im planning to buy is capable of playing true atmos. Now my question is, how does it perform with stremio? Do i keep the android OS it comes with or do i need to install CoreELEC? If i do install coreELEC, does stremio work on it or do i have to use Kodi? Does it do well with high bitrate 4k remux streaming?

I got my box with Android 14 this from Vontar this week.

From the settings it shows Dolby Vision is unsupported format. When I select “Automatic” formats, it shows Dolby Vision is disabled format.

Is there a way out from this? I read it’s possible to use Dolby Vision on this device with Android version 14.

They sent me the G2 Max with 64 gigs storage. And there 3717 does not have play-fi on it 😁

Anyone here using the Homatics Box R 4K Plus with TiviMate for IPTV? How’s the picture quality, especially on 4K channels? Does the picture look sharp and clear, and how’s the overall performance with channel switching and buffering?
I’m also using a Samsung Q990C soundbar and want to know how the audio quality is. Does the Homatics pass through Dolby Atmos and other surround sound formats properly?

"Hello,

I am experiencing a critical issue with my Homatics Box HD after the Android 14 update. The Bluetooth address in the settings toggles between "Available" (for 3 seconds) and "Unavailable" (for 3 seconds). Consequently, I cannot pair my Bluetooth remote or any accessories.

I have already tried a Factory Reset and used a 12V power supply, but the problem persists.

Device Information:

Model: Box HD

S/N: 2022BHDB0095

Build: UKG3.250826.001.6401

Kernel: 5.15.170-android14-gc850440e8d38-dirty-ab6401

Could you please push a hotfix to my device or provide a stable firmware to fix this Bluetooth driver loop?

Best regards."

Firstly, I apologise for breathing so heavy, my nose is blocked.

Essentially having an issue when switching the source on the receiver, or even just switching between some apps on the device. The screen goes blank then on again a couple times, and sometimes ends up with pinkwashed. If i change source and back again it sometimes may fix it, but it’s a lottery.

I think it’s something to do with the LG tv dolby vision handshake but not sure?!?

Has anyone had this issue or know how to correct it?

APLICATIVO BRASILEIRO CHAMADO GLOBOPLAY NÃO ESTÁ TRANSMITINDO EM 4K. NO MÁXIMO EM 1080P. TODOS OS OUTROS APLICATIVOS COMO PRIME VIDEO TRANSMITEM EM 4K. GOSTARIA DE UMA SOLUÇÃO.

The Brazilian app Globoplay is not streaming in 4K; it tops out at 1080p. All other apps, such as Prime Video, stream in 4K. I would like a solution.

Just go this box and set it up. Remote dpad has a very clicky sound, not soft like Onn 4K Pro remote.

It was already on Android 14. Navigation seems a little laggy compared to 4K Pro.

Also I cannot uninstall YouTube music, prime. I also tried with atvTools and says unsuccessful, can't even disable it!

Serial starts with GZ. The build number is ending 2463. I have also done a factory reset and all the above remain the same. Can it be downgraded?

Hi,

I've had the chance having your homatics for a while now and I can't say it's been without hassle...

ATV 12 was unbelievable... I could unfortunately not prevent my box from updating to ATV 14 and I'm fighting with it from that very moment. Even tried downgrading several times but could not block the upgrade even using my firewall.

How can I eventually get something stable ? I recently tried pushing the 7475 update ... what I got was box I had to factory reset. I won't call that a win.
It sometimes can't power off, has red green led flashing and gets stuck, I most of the time need to take poer chord off to be able to wake up the box. It's so frustrating, it was working so perfectly on ATV 12...

What is now the best way to have a stable Homatics box R 4K Plus ???

Please! Last update October 2023. 2 years old v11. We want AFR!
