兄弟,你用这个版本就可以跳过fel层了,虽然画质不完美,但至少兼容性大大提升了,基本都可以正常播放了。https://github.com/quietvoid/xb /v21-dovi
下v7a那个版本,在设置里打开播放器-Convert Dolby Vision for compatibility这个选项
ps:am6b画面声音都很烂,晶晨全线soc的声画都不好,我还有n1和chromecast,比起火棒4k max都差远了。固件也不行,除了能额外运行emuelec外,基本被火棒完爆。

Brother, you can skip the fel layer with this version. Although the picture quality is not perfect, at least the compatibility has been greatly improved, and basically everything can be played normally. https://github.com/quietvoid/xb/v21-dovi
Download the v7a version, open the player-Convert Dolby Vision for compatibility option in the settings

ps: The picture and sound of am6b are very bad. The sound and picture of all Amlogic SoCs are not good. I still have n1 and chromecast, which are far worse than Huobad 4k max. The firmware is not good either, except that it can run emuelec additionally, it is basically overwhelmed by the fire stick.

hhh, i know this bulid, thx, although we can speak Chinese but not in this forum, btw,use this build after ff/re the video may frezzing, do u?
我只测试了fire tv 4k max,以前播放直接黑屏的带fel 层的杜比视界remux都正常了,am6b还没来得及测,但是理论上来说应该没问题。这是链接,上次发出错了。https://github.com/quietvoid/xbmc/releases/tag/v21-dovi

I only tested the fire tv 4k max, and the Dolby Vision remux with fel layer that played a direct black screen before was normal. I haven't had time to test the am6b, but theoretically it should be fine. This is the link, it was wrong last time

The quietvoid dovi build works fine in my firestick 4K max, and in my shield tv pro.
No problem at all. No freezes after pause or ff/rew.

I get choppy playback on Shield Pro with kodi-21-Omega-arm64-v8a-release-quietvoid-2023-01-30.apk, similar to nightly build kodi-20230227-1807d48c-master-arm64-v8a.apk

我在am6b上测试了,的确像你所说的,有部分影片在快进后会冻住。在firetv上这种情况很少发生,只有快进到影片后半部分,会自动从杜比视界切换到hdr10,应该是软件本身不稳定造成的。不过这依然是现阶段比较好的解决方案了,等着ugoos厂商解决应该不太现实。


I tested it on am6b, and as you said, some videos will freeze after fast forwarding. This kind of situation rarely happens on firetv, only fast forward to the second half of the movie, it will automatically switch from Dolby Vision to hdr10, it should be caused by the instability of the software itself. However, this is still a good solution at this stage, and it may not be realistic to wait for ugoos manufacturers to solve it.

Issue is in your settings. You need set corretly the kodi, and your network, include buffer in advancedsettings.
The quietvoid dovi build works like a charm in my shield tv pro 2019, and all 3 firestick 4K max , in my home.

What buffer value works?
Try this:
    <cache>
        <buffermode>1</buffermode>
        <memorysize>503316480</memorysize>
        <readfactor>20</readfactor>
    </cache>

        <readfactor>20</readfactor>
    </cache>

Played better for two minutes then got choppy again.

Then your lan or wlan speed not enough to fill the cache. Need optimize, repair, change the cables..

Other builds do not play choppy over wlan.   Nightly v20 plays HDR10 fine.   Kodinerds v20 and v21 play DV fine.   Plex plays DV fine.  M9702 plays full disc ISOs with DV fine.  

Is there a Kodi add-on that will test and report wlan speed?  I am curious what the local speed Kodi is connecting to.

I give up. Use another build.
