New firmware version 1.1.2 is available via OTA and also can be download here. What’s new:
- Ethernet switcher – This feature let users attach additional USB LAN ports. UGOOS add management tab in Ethernet settings, so now you can activate/deactivate and switch between LAN interfaces in one click. This feature was popular on Ugoos 4.4 Android devices based on RK3288 SoC and now we implemented it for RK3368. Run Ethernet management: Settings – Network – Ethernet
- HDMI color mode – For the majority of different TV screens and monitors device defines HDMI color mode automatically, but, due to some specifics, for a few amount of screen devices we had incapability in parameters. So now, you can manually choose color mode from menu in order to choose appropriate one: Automatic, RGB_0_255, RGB_16_235, YCbCr422, YCbCr444, YCbCr420. Run color mode settings: Settings – Display – HDMI Color Mode
- Auto Frame Rate – Via playback of many video samples, we concluded that sometimes AFR function in KODI is choosing best options for playback due to different video parameters. For more convenience, we set tree options for Frame Rate: System resolution, Video resolution priority, Frequency resolution priority. Kodi has their own Frame Rate settings, so these options enabled in other players with using generic codecs. Run AFR settings: Settings – Display – Autoframerate
