Re: Zidoo Media player

Connect your NAS to an UPS. The UPS usually has a USB cable you can connect to your NAS that will let it know of a power interruption, and it will shut itself down. UNRAID is a nice option.. NAS and RAID! https://unraid.net/ Originally I was thinking of setting up a NAS to stream my ripped movies, h...

Re: Unsure which method to store/play ripped DVD's and Blu-rays

And CoreElec doesn't have any forced advertising that Nvidia makes you see every time you use it.

It's just your media the way you want it, played with all the quality technically possible.

Re: Anything that can play DV P7 FEL from Mkv-File

Get a FLIRC (see my post above), and a IR remote that doesn't suck. Works fine. I think Nvidia is probably done with the media console market. They haven't released anything new since 2019, and never fixed issues with Dolby FEL. At this point they are just milking their ShieldTV until nobody wants i...

Re: Anything that can play DV P7 FEL from Mkv-File

Here is all you need to know. The hard part might be finding one.. It pretty much does everything anyone could ask for.. FAQs 1. Which Dolby Vision profiles are supported on these devices? These devices support Profile 4, 5, 7 FEL, 7 MEL, 8.1, and 8.4. CoreELEC supports Single-Track Dual-Layer and D...

Re: So now what? Purchased flashed Pioneer BD, Purchased MakeMKV, so how to convert and playback?

10G, wow. You must have a need to move a lot of video around. What router are you using? Yeah, most likely will do in the future ... right now I need to get a 10G NIC or USB-C to 10G adapter as the motherboard only supports 2.5G ... most of my home network is all 10G except this NAS I built. Cheers,...

Re: So now what? Purchased flashed Pioneer BD, Purchased MakeMKV, so how to convert and playback?

Thanks so much! You may want to consider adding a second parity drive option for your Unraid. That will allow up to two drive failures before any data loss occurs. Oftentimes the stress of rebuilding from a lost drive can cause another drive to fail. My parts list: (large list, no need to duplicate)

Re: So now what? Purchased flashed Pioneer BD, Purchased MakeMKV, so how to convert and playback?

That looks like a nice rig. I've been thinking about what I might do when it's time to upgrade my 10 year old Unraid Server. Can you give us a list of the parts you used?

Thanks!

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Not so sure it's everything we want.. "Dolby Vision profile 5 and profile 8 both work. Profile 7 as used on Bluray discs, is currently converted on-the-fly by chosen mode by libdovi 209 due to a bug in the upstream proprietary code." https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/coreelec-and-dolby-visi...

Re: Looking for a player suggestion

The Nvidia Shield TV can play just about anything including DV, HDR10, TrueHD, and DTS-MA with KODI. It doesn't offer fulll DV FEL support, but not much really does, and you won't miss it. As a bonus you can also get apps for Netflix, Hulu, AppleTV, Disney+ etc that will run on it. If you do go with...

Re: Mac OS 14.1 and Makemkv 1.17.5

What kind of an error message are you getting for the failed titles? I have no issues at all with Makemkv on my Mac, but I've not updated to OSX 14 yet.

Re: Cannot get Dolby Vision

Dolby Vision with JustPlayer on Nvidia ShieldTV- Augmented with Nova Player

I'd prefer to use Kodi for Dolby Vision playback, but official support is still MIA. JustPlayer does a good job with playback, but it lacks any network access capabilities (SMB, etc) or scraping... There is an option. Nova Player, that does scraping, and has network access options, will allow you to...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Don't worry about 12 bit color. Your TV can't handle it anyway. According to this guy, we haven't even reached the potential of 10 bit yet.
