Happy Saturday fellas😊

I wonder how big of an external HDD we could use with the USB

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

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+

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 (🤞)

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.

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

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

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

Does it do 3D isos?

I haven't tried that

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

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

@@joentell I swear I had KZread 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 KZreadr uses. It's proprietary and requires some special chip that the Shield doesn't have. Blows my mind!

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.

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

@@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.
