Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus Review

Outstanding media player using the "Dune" media player. This is the link to acquire the Dune app for this device. It does NOT come installed, you have to download it........

The Dune Homatics box is not recognized by the dune mobile remote app and another disadvantage is that the playlist/select feature cannot be used because there is no "PLAY" function. The okay button can only start the content of one folder at a time. DUNE customer service won't help, it takes them two weeks to react by automatic reply of the likes: we have received your request ".. And then... nothing.. It's been six weeks now...

Please could you make a video showing Dune with Android TV 12 to see the automatic refresh rate update in streaming apps

Great video. Can we use it to just view ALL home collection media (not genres) together in a list like the old style Dune interface ? I like list view with audio and movies together. If you have used older Dunes you will know what I mean. I don't like my media separated by genres/types, I want to select whatever folder I want, such as an audio folder, or movie folder, without having to go Home to change type it will view first.

Hello.. In the New firmware update you can play DTS HD and DTSX. Check Dune support

Why is it some people get a completely different remote but there's?

Hi Ron, how to add youtube (and all the other stuff 6:51) in the dune media player? in my player it shows only netflix apple & prime.

Thanks for the review. Looks like a decent device. I realize that you wanted to focus on the Dune Media Player software, but I would have liked to have seen ALL of the AIDA64 screens (not just the first few). You usually show the AIDA64 screens. I missed them in this review.

Appreciate the effort, but no, it's not outstanding at this moment. The Android TV Build itself needs still plenty of work, but that is done through beta testing of the Homatics R Plus box (not with the Dune box, it kills the Dune app when using beta), and the Dune app still needs a lot of improvement, that seems a bit on hold now.

The AFR option they build in the app is really nothing more then changing the resolution/refreshrate in the background within the Android TV settings, sometimes a user even must confirm the change of that, so not really AFR and not always in the background ;)

Sins there is a very good CoreElec build specific for the Homatics R Plus and alike (most SEI804 boxes), there really is no reason to use the Dune app at this moment. Can be used as double boot option and has great support. Still work in progress, but that also goes for this specific Dune.

I also have it, but it brings really nothing more at this moment. Maybe if one prefers black as a color in stead of white/silver ;)

Hello!

Could you tell me please, can this player put behind the srt subtitle some full black or transparent (30%) stripe?

[MarvinConnell]

Good day... Can you tell me the different Zoom options available in the Dune HD Media Centre? (I believe it's the Dune OS section) I'm looking to get a device for my 21:9 monitor & I want to make sure it has the zoom type I will need... Thanks... P.S. I believe there's a OS Beta out with widescreen support - just in case you have a 21:9 device that can test it... =]

[dapperDiane]

Hey Ronnie question I'm trying to use dune hd box as a samba server so I can access my movies in another room with my other android box using nova media player app to scan for available servers how do I go about getting it done

[laionica]

I've set up the Box and it won't play in 4K and in AIDA64.
It says Screen Resolution 1920 × 1080.
Is there anyway to change this ?

[laionica]

Hi
I'm having issues with Dolby Atmos on this Device.
I'm using Kodi and when I go to Audio setting in Kodi and enable passthrough. It plays fine for a while. But if I pause or rewind. Then the Sound cuts out or stop 'start (Dolby Atmos).
But if I disable Passthrough it will play 5.1 fine.
Do you know any fix for this ??
The same settings i use in Kodi play fine on my Nvidia Shield.

Hallo. Kann man alle Streaming Apps wie z.B Prime Video, Disney+ usw. Im Dune Media Center nutzen?

[nickkk]

How well does it upscale from 480p to 4k? Will there be before and after pictures?

[alexandercordoba]

How is the upscaling to 4K in this device?

Is it better than on Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019?

[pauldesm]

Does anyone tested the usb c tuner on this box specifically the dvb-c and dvb-t2?

[bobcrane]

How does the dune device differ from the standard 4K plus homatics device
