Does CM v2.9 vs 4.0 matter for MEL if the max nits are below the capabilities of my display (LG G5)?
Since no tone mapping is occurring it shouldn't make any difference?


yes, cmv2.9 4000nits MDL dims at 150nits even on our G5. Also no black crush in 4.0

Are you all mainly looking for the ease of access to the titles? Using these planned obsolescence devices is not a wise decision, but I understand if the concern is mainly the ease of access to the titles, not the device or file properties.


If you're talking about the Kscape I think the idea is ...

LOL


Makes me want to rush right out and get one. LMAO




I added 25 lossless HDMI capture comparison with MAX DV and HDR10:
These can be viewed in HDR on Chrome or Edge browsers.

You should make a review video. More prospective customers should be aware of ...

I think he was just commenting on the fact they won't be able to fit entire 4K catalogue on 192TB, which is fair, as they keep adding movies and have 3 different encodes for many, not sure how old that piece of marketing adcopy is. I am curious what the cut-off is for that tier though, but they ...

They do not claim this anywhere.


I'm sorry, I thought you all were chatting about https://www.kaleidescape.com/ (which does state that). Which product are you all talking about?

You're looking at the storage capacity of the ...

They do not claim this anywhere. You can see file sizes on their site without signing in. Most are less than 100GB

Someone is for sure going to reverse engineer the Kaleidescape and upload the entire catalogue to piracy sites. Almost guaranteed in my opinion.

p.s. I do not endorse piracy.

Highly unlikely something like this would ever happen. Even if someone did manage to exploit the device, the content on ...

it's a very expensive streaming service/box with lossless audio and 100mbps bitrate encodes. It also have many HDR/4K release not available on disc.

In each movie description, you can see the file size of the stream.

Is there a maintained list of ...

PS: just ordered the kaleidescape. We will know soon enough how it compares to the UHD-BD quality :twisted:

That's cool - you got the Strato E I presume?
Do those boxes support playback of non- K sourced media? Like via USB for example? For testing what formats it actually supports?
I'm also ...

I apologize if I have missed some developments, but, are we now able to convert retail CMv2.9 to CMv4.0? If so how involved is that process?

That's going to depend on the device you're playing it on. On an Ugoos AM6B Plus running CPM build of CoreELEC with the Jellyfin Kodi addin, DV playback is correct.

As long as you're not transcoding it's the same as playing direct from network

Is it normal for the DV P5 version of a given stream to be around 30% larger than the equivalent HDR10 version?
For example:
Andor.S02E04.2160p.DSNP.WEB-DL.DDPA5.1.DV.HEVC-PlayWEB.mkv: 6431381983
Andor.S02E04.2160p.DSNP.WEB-DL.DDPA5.1.HDR.HEVC-PlayWEB.mkv: 4305241410

I also notice that the hybrid ...

@RESET

You got that picture of the greyscale 10%?


sorry, the 5-10% grayscales are too dim. My camera cannot capture it... I have to raise ISO, which introduces noise that masks the issue.


EDIT: actually what I'm seeing is exactly like in this video:
