UGoos AM6B+ - End-Game 4K Media Streamer (for me anyway, and anyone who cares about Dolby Vision playback)

[citysoundman]

I read that in macOS Sequoia 15 "Passthrough is available in Apple Music, QuickTime Player, and the Apple TV app on Mac with Apple silicon and a built-in HDMI port or a supported USB-C to HDMI adapter" but that might not fit your use case.

I got one of these little AM6B boxes, followed the instructions, and did the local setup on screen (telling where files are on the network). Mine are NFS but samba is similar.

I can't remember what did with the SD card, probably just left it in. And it seems pretty snappy.

I have not needed to do so, but you can ssh in the terminal on Mac. The default root password is coreelec

thanks for the reply! It's kinda lame that Apple will allow passthrough only on their apps

I can share Mac files via Samba or NFS - I recently found NFS Manager which lets my Oppo play Mac network files - a real game changer for me!

I've never used SSH but it sounds like a good way to remote in, I will try it for sure.

So are you happy with the box? Any issues??

Does the UGoos AMB6+, once software(d) with Corelec, play ISO 4k blu ray files? Or do I need to convert to MKV files? In order to get the max benefits of Dolby Vision FEL?

From what I've read, ISO playback is not really doable from Kodi. Some Windows users have had some success but I kinda doubt that it will work on this. Maybe someone else has tried it?
