Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Seems like Plex is getting somewhere with nvidia: https://forums.plex.tv/t/newest-beta-dolby-vision-issue/640693/232 We’ve been working with NVIDIA and have found the cause of a crash which would cause Dolby Vision files to fail to direct play and fallback to a direct stream which only supports HDR1...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

I faced this problem with Apocalypse Now. Exact same timestamp for the av sync error messages too. That was a weird disk. The movie was in one m2ts file while the end credits was in another m2ts file of 6 mins. MakeMKV was giving me a proper FEL mkv, but my TV can't play FELs. I had to use the Gamm...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

I took @quietvoid's advice and THESE should be the last samples to test ... I hope so :mrgreen: ! There are two samples (I still have a little doubt). Try them both and let me know. Thank you for your time! I think you already knew the result but just for completion sake: On my CX both files did th...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

I wish I could also create working DTDL files. I have generated four other FEL DTDL variants. Each of them has small changes and the degree of complexity increases from file n1 to file n4. These files can only be played using the INTERNAL PLAYER of LG TVs (via DLNA, USB). If you want to try, you ca...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

I have an LG CX so happy to test... Oh, I thought you were referring to dual track mp4 as well. Those are pretty much the only reason I'd convert to mp4, because the C8 still supports them as profile 7 FEL. As promised, here are some test files for you to try on LG devices. GAMMA should now be able...

I think I've read that the 2020 models had an update that made them unable to play the dual track files.
That’s a bit worrying. I wonder how long fire stick / shield lasts if that was the case :shock:
No doubt Dolby forced them too...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

I have an LG CX so happy to test. I’m not sure if it would gain anything over the fire stick though? But would be great for comparisons and it might even end up being better if some of the hdmi vs internal apps DV ‘settings’ queries turn out to be true. I’d love to try getting 7.1 pcm out of it as ...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

LG CX 2020 owners, for example, may be interested - they could take advantage of GAMMA's speed to generate MP4 files with DV (profile 8.1) and with custom audio and subtitles. Is anyone interested or am I wasting my time? I have an LG CX so happy to test. I’m not sure if it would gain anything over...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.3

Fire stick seems to be working well for me. It’s not as good as x700 or oppo clone, but it will play mkvs. It’s a lot closer to the right colours than the shield. The biggest downside is lack of atmos and no FEL. But the FEL to MEL script seems to be working well for me, and as I don’t need atmos ri...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

How are others testing the fire stick? Using plex? I’ve installed Kodi and got the custom exoplayer setup the same as my shield, but unlike my shield I can’t plug any external storage into it so I’m forced to use the network. Can’t seem to get samba or ftp to work correctly. I managed to get somethi...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Truly unknown. We're not sure exactly what the issue is that's causing it. It's very possible the SHIELD just doesn't support decoding the parts of the DV spec that UHD is using. In which case, nope, it'll never get fixed. It's designed to play streaming DV content which is encoded differently than...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

I'll be doing direct comparison with the uhd on my ub820 but the quick testing I did last night looks off. They play fine but the colors don't look right. Maybe the shield needs a reboot. Wouldn't be the first time. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Can’t believe plex would have correct colours ...
