Re: Dolby Vision playback via laptop via VLC Player?

That's the right model, yes. Just be aware, like I said, installing coreelec the first time is a bit involved. Once it's set up you're good to go and the pq rivals stand alone UHD players.

Re: Dolby Vision playback via laptop via VLC Player?

As I understand it, the best way to watch your MakeMKV DV rips on a TV is to get a Ugoos AM6B+ and load CoreElec onto it. Playing DV content as it comes on a UHD (DV profile 7) requires hardware that can do specific things and software to take advantage of the hardware. This is different than playi...

Dolby Vision playback via laptop via VLC Player?

Hey,

I wonder if I could flex the brains of some of the forum’s DV experts?

Is there a way to get VLC to play Dolby Vision titles (assuming it’s connecting to an external TV which displays DV).

I have no idea on the requirements to get this working or if it can work?

Thanks 🙏

Re: Blu-ray drive no longer works for UHD rips in makemkv like it used to (LG BH16NS55)

Pull the power out the back of the bd drive, then plug it back in. This cured my LG drive of numerous issues.

Or if the rear of the drive isn’t reachable, turn off the pc and pull the power out to do a full shutdown so the motherboard goes off.

JFK UHD - other playlists on disc?

Hey there,

I’ve managed to rip the 90GB file perfectly fine, however on the disc are 3 other playlists with quite large file sizes, something like 26GB, 36GB and 22GB.

Anyone know what these other ones are?

Re: Super Mario Bros (1993) UHD issues

Yea but it just gets downloaded to a local users folder? So couldn’t someone just upload it and then someone else could download and just copy and paste it to the folder location?

Re: Dolby Vision and where to start

I think ripping a film as an mkv with DV is pretty easy, finding a media player which will play it back faultlessly is another matter.
