Looking for real-world input from CoreELEC-only users. Not interested in Android TV opinions — purely CE playback use case.

My situation:

• Primary use: CoreELEC only (booting from USB/SD)

• Content: 4K Blu-ray remuxes and full disc ISOs, frequently 80–120GB+

• Must-haves: DV Profile 7 FEL passthrough, VS10 tone mapping, stable high-bitrate playback

• Future-proofing: want the box to handle whatever codecs come next (AV1 especially)

What I’ve found so far:

The Homatics Box R 4K Plus (S905X4-K) seems to be the community favourite for the “does everything” crowd.

But the FEL situation concerns me. CE-NG is EOL. If FEL on the Homatics only works reliably on a dead branch, that’s not a stable long-term setup — that’s a ticking clock.

The Ugoos AM6B+ keeps coming up as the gold standard for FEL specifically, but it lacks AV1 hardware decode and stock availability is getting tight.

My actual questions:

- Can homatics play high bitrate movies with dv fel 7 smooth ?

- Is dobly 10 tone mapping working fine homatics ?

-is homatics future proff for codecs like av1 and vp9?

-or i can look at other devices if you have a suggestion pls?

Thanks for you answer
