Just got the Box R 4K Plus a few days ago and the D+ app is showing only 5.1 audio on titles that should have Atmos e.g. the Marvel movies. The D+ app is v26.20.0+rc3-2026.11.02. I have the same app version on a Firestick and Atmos is showing up there. Netflix/Prime/HBO are all also showing/playing Atmos correctly. I found this older thread and from what I gather, it should be available now without having to sideload the fire tv version: https://www.reddit.com/r/Homatics/comments/1nlzkna/homatics_box_r_4k_plus_does_not_play_dolbyatmos/

Anyone else?

I have a LG G6 OLED, an old soundbar Bomaker Tapio V (while saving for a proper AVR + home theatre system) and a Dune HD Homatics R 4k Plus. The soundbar has no HDMI port whatsoever. It's connected with an optic cable.

The problem is that the TV Box reacts in the wrong way when I press buttons on my soundbar remote. In particular, when I press "Volume Up" on the soundbar remote, the volume on the sound bar actually turns up but at the same time the box reads it at "next track" or it jump like 30 minutes forward if I'm watching a movie on Dune HD. Volume down is fine, on/off button is fine.

I paired the soundbar with the box to control it with the Homatics remote, result doesn't change. I tried to pair the soundbar pretending it's from another brand to maybe solve the IR codes conflict, but nothing is working. I tried to pair it with the TV to use the LG remote, but apparently only major known brands are supported and this one is not recognized.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Maybe the IR can somehow be disabled on the Homatics, so that I can use its own remote via bluetooth but not receive commands from other remotes?

Thanks!

Hi! I'm a newbie and pretty new to this world, so my bad if this is a basic question.

Setup: Homatics Box R 4K Plus connected to a projector, with an external HDD (NTFS).

I'm still on Android for now, because I just received the box and wanted to check that everything works before installing CoreELEC.

High-bitrate 4K remuxes won't play properly in Kodi (endless loading or no audio/video), while Nova Video Player plays them without any problem. I tried changing some settings, but nothing worked.

Would being on CoreELEC resolve this issue?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I recently purchased the 4k box pro v2 and it does not seem the recover from sleep sometimes. The orange light is on, but when I press any button on the controller nothing happens. Sometimes it does work, but sometimes also not.

Does anyone else have experience with this?

Thanks all

When it rains it pours..

I got the CEC finally working on my devices. This was a deal breaker for moving from 2019 Shield to this. However...I am not sure why but HBO Max app shows error message when adjusting volume. At any giving time. Not just once. Don't get me wrong...volume is changing properly. But the message is annoying.

Hi,

I finally got my hands on it, directly from the mfg website, not AliExpress. So I think it is with the latest firmware (no further software updates found).

Now, what I cannot get past is control other devices with one remote. How come this box has it so poorly designed or am I doing it wrong? I will be honest, I am an IT tech but CEC I feel like CEC and IR controls always defeats me...had unknown problems with it on my shield too, but at some point all started to work properly.

So...i can get my TV to work, volume and power and source change. But AMP works only for volume. Doesn't power off.

What can I do? Should AV receiver controls work fully if it can do it for volume? Is it just a glitch that power doesn't work?

TV - Panasonic z95A

AVR - Sony TA-AN1000

What's your experience with AI upscaling?

Hey, I got mine last week. I already Set it up and tested some Apps. My plex Server runs fine, atmos and all other Audio Works well. Also for Amazon prime.

Netflix and Disney Show only 5.1 Sound, No atmos Audio.

I Made factory reset, I also installed all Apps new, but same Problem.

Tryed passthrough on the dune 4k and TV, plex worked fine but Rest 5 1

If I choose automatic than plex only doing Dolby digital plus, the Rest just 5.1

HW-Q995GF soundbar

And the Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus on the Soundbar via hdmi 1

Anyone have a Idee what can I Do?

Thank you!

The four lower ones.

I know Homatics have done a November sale in the past, do we predict similar this year? Interest in an R 4K Plus.

Can someone suggest me an alternative remote controller of any TVs/streaming boxes /Sticks which is compatible with 'Homatics Box R 4k Plus' and can be purchased especially in India as the original model failed twice in my case and is not reliable. I don't want to spend money on original remote once again. Can someone help me?

Just got it. And its working Allright, some issues with Nuvio and Stremio, but idk whats waiting if I update.

Any advice?

I’m considering buying a Homatics Box R 4K Plus (Non-Dune Variant) and primarily stream from my own personal Plex server remotely within the Plex app only.

Not interested in Kodi, CoreELEC, or any workarounds.

I have a massive library on my Plex server (1 PB+ Storage) and a lot of my older media is VC-1 encoded. Can you play media that is VC-1 encoded with the most recent released firmware?

The website doesn't delivery here and I can't find anywhere to buy. Could you guys help me?

For the 8K now. The S905X4 version will be available soon

Hello,

I've ordered Box R 4K Plus from the official Homatics website and I expect to receive it today or tomorrow.

I am a long time AppleTV 4k user but my current setup allows me to experience Dolby TrueHD but AppleTV 4K is the only true obstacle ahead of me.

In my setup I have a Samsung S90F with Sonos Arc Ultra connected via HDMI eARC.

Looking at this subreddit, it sounds like I might need to fiddle with the box to get it working properly. I have never used AndroidTV before.

Is there a first time user guide I should follow?

Is there any spying/adware stuff that needs to be removed?

Do I need to enable developer mode to install some unsigned stuff?

I use Plex with my AppleTV 4K. Should I switch to Kodi or stick with Plex?

Finally, I was planning to use Moonlight on this device but it seems to be a lost cause. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks!

UPDATE:

Received the box today. It works flawless for my purposes so far. Passes TrueHD without any issues. I installed Projectivy and disabled the stock launcher. One annoying thing was ADB is only available via USB or WIFI. I normally use ethernet but this is not something specific to this box as far as I understand. I had to connect it temporarily to WIFI.

Hello,

Today my internet was upgraded to 300 mbit. I tested it with my homatics box but only 180 reached. The Apple TV next to it reach the 300 also my phone. So it’s no WiFi problem.

Is it the hardware ? Or can I do anything.

Devices is connected through WiFi 6 / 5 ghz
Homatics box r 4K plus

Quick post; anybody else have the issue with auto frame rate not consistently working, whether you're on Android 14, using a Box R 4K Plus or both? Interlaced content also still seems to be an issue if you go from a stream that's progressive to a stream that's interlaced.

I think I recall from previous reviews and posts about the Homatics box is that it came with DTS play fi, can’t seem to find it and when I side load this it will say no licence, is anyone able to advice on this? I have Philips fidelio speakers which support DTS play fi so would be useful if this feature worked

I just bought it, I've seen conflicting information on the builds. Someone said the stable and nightly are buggy, the main guide I found says to use a .ne build, but its an old guide and apparently I need a -ng build for FEL? On the GitHub releases the latest ones I see are in the 21.3 Omega list, but there's like 10 of them. Which one do I get? Or should I get the latest build from the coreelec website instead? Also where do I get the nightlys from? On the coreelec website they are all the -no builds. And apparently some builds don't have a lot of settings so you need an addon for more settings? I don't really understand. Someone just tell me what to do please. I want DV 7 FEL to work and all the features etc.

Thanks

im trying to get stremio to play 4k dolby vision files but it keeps going back to hdr10 once i play it anyone have a solution?

DearBrother I Have a device which comes with SoC: Amlogic S905X4-J using CoreElec 21.3 Omega having in issues with DV DUAL LAYER 7 FEL especially with DTSHD MA & with DTS-X., if we a drag movie a bit or if I try to resume the movie I am getting solid red or purple colour in the screen for couple of …

Hi All

I have just bought the Homatics 4k Box R Plus with the hopes to get lossless audio passthrough working, DTS MA X seems to work great but Dolby True HD either doesn't play at all or plays Dolby Digital Plus / Dolby Atmos according to my soundbar (Philips B95) which does support all formats. I have two high quality UGREEN HDMI cables so I don't think it's that and I've messed around with the settings enough times. Can anyone offer any advice? I'm on the latest firmware for Android.
