New Vero V user some questions on video and remote etc

[Chillbo]

@Muyfa666

Do I need to setup the video in any special way for DV tonemapping to work?

It’ll just do its thing

@Muyfa666

On the same note, if I play a movie with both DV and HDR fallback, will DV with tonemapping still be prioritized over the HDR fallback? I understand the DV tonemapping should look better than standard HDR fallback? Are there anyway to tell which is which?

Should I upgrade to Vero V?

I’m hoping someone can clear up for me what this new Vero Dolby Vision support means in practice. Is the Vero V capable of playing back any DV file now? I understand that it’s not actually of playing DV correctly but is it able to play all files in at least HDR, rather than not playing them at all or with obviously mismatched colors? I have a large library of video files that use DV and might switch to the Vero V if it can at least play them back, even if not in DV.

I’m running some video content from a USB disk. How do I safely remove it?

You go to the directory above where you find your USB drive and open the context menu (three lines on the OSMC remote or c key on a keyboard). There you’ll find the option to safely remove the drive.

I’m not overy fond of the remote. It’s fairly snappy, but it tend to miss presses every now and then. Are there anything I can do to improve it?

One for @sam_nazarko…

@Muyfa666

I understand there’s no way but to power cycle if I need to start the Vero V from a full shutdown, so I should use suspend instead. Are there any way to have the box suspend with a remote button or so?

There’s no need to suspend or power down the Vero V. It’s designed as a low power always-on device. But if you’d still like to send it into suspend mode with a button press, @darwindesign will know how to do this.

The blue light on the front is very strong. Is it safe to subdue it a bit with IR covers? Does it affect in a negative way?

No harm in doing so

Enjoy your new device!
