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 ...

Re: Possible to rip tywo versions of the same movie with one MKV file aka seamless branching

Don't quote me on this but... It was something like adding all the individual segments (.m2ts files) into MKVToolNix from a decrypted backup, then creating a chapter edition for each edition of the movie, and linking each chapter to a particular segment via the UID. Except I recall it was a little ...

Yeah, that's why I was thinking that an ISO rip might be the better option in terms of space.

Possible to rip tywo versions of the same movie with one MKV file aka seamless branching

I have used the search and I can't find a clear cut answer, nor have I seen a youtube video on it. Anyway, I have several films The Abyss, Aliens, and Alien that have multiple versions of the same film and I wanted to know if there is a way to rip those into one file, where something like Kodi would...

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

I ordered an Ugoos AM6b+ and it took about two weeks to arrive from AliExpress. I have watched several full DV Profile 7 movies on it after installing CoreELEC. It works about as flawlessly as anyone could ask. The only thing I do not like is the jankiness of the remote. It sucks quite a bit. I stil...

Re: DOlby Vision only shows as HDR and many newbie questions

I ordered a Ugoos AM6B plus from Ali Express. Hopefully it will be here in less than 2 weeks. I have learned a lot and really it's a shame that it's pretty much impossible to get a device where I can hook up a lossless rip of 4K-BD with DV and TrueHD/DTS-MA that will play them from an MKV file. Heck...

Re: DOlby Vision only shows as HDR and many newbie questions

Dolby Vision is a surprisingly complicated thing. It has a concept they call profiles. When you watch a streaming service that has Dolby Vision, that's a profile 5 kind of DV. Lots of TVs and streaming boxes can decode and display profile 5 Dolby Vision. A UHD with Dolby Vision is profile 7. Decodi...

Re: DOlby Vision only shows as HDR and many newbie questions

Not interested in using streaming. I want to use a box that connects via HDMI. I feel like these boxes should have programs that allow for them to be ripped.
