Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[crazydave]

is this a thing? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/app/9 ... verviewtab maybe mpc-be or microsoft's new fancy edge browser can use this extension?

I tried that and I try again every Windows update but it doesn't trigger DV on my end using the movies and tv app.
On Netflix, using the app or edge; when I press ctrl + alt + SHIFT + d, the stats say Dolby Vision HEVC but the tv doesn't trigger DV.

I think it's just missing a Dolby vision slidder in display setting like there is for HDR10. Maybe a future Windows update.

Yeah, this is a thing - but only if you have a licensed PC (I think mostly some Lenovo and Dell laptops). This lets MS Edge, the Netflix and Windows TV/Movies app play single layer DV. It's enforced by loading a custom monitor ICC profile that matches against certain strings in the system BIOS, otherwise it throws up an error message when playing if you have that profile loaded but not a matching system.

It would be great if they let us buy this functionality like Atmos for Headphones (/insert obligatory "shut up and take my money" meme here) but for whatever reason they don't. Maybe someone handy with a hex editor can poke around to see how this works...

Has anyone had some profile 5 movies just not play on the shield? I've made a few profile 5 movies lately, which have worked great, and others do nothing. The ones that don't work trigger dolby vision on the TV, but the plex video player is just in a paused state. I can skip forward, but then it just sits there at that frame and refuses to play, no audio either. An example with this behavior is Mission Impossible Fallout, and Saving Private Ryan. Not sure what's going wrong, everything seems fine in tsMuxer and yusesope's tool.

I have encountered this behavior with Plex on Fire TV 4K Stick with profile 5 videos, profile 6 works fine. Don't own the Shield yet, but profile 5 also works on Apple TV 4K. I guess it has to do with Plex itself. I have given up submitting problems to Plex, they don't care tbh

I am having the following issue on the Sony UBP-X700, if I play a DV dual layer Profile 7 .TS file and then hit the 'Stop' button or 'Home' button the screen does this:



If I go to play another video (DV, non-DV, or 1080p) same thing. The menus on the player work fine. This is happening with both my own as well as my friend's X700

[RESET_9999]

yes, it's a known issue with the x700... You can only play 1 TS DV file without rebooting the player.

It's weird that some are working perfectly in profile 5 for me. Is there a version of tsMuxer that makes a profile 6 file? If not, how are you making them?

This is how I tried to use yusesope's tool on macos, version 0.0.2 is the only I found:

Code: Select all

python /Volumes/Data/bl_el_rpu_builder_temp_version_revision_2.py -bl /Volumes/Data/bl.hevc -el /Volumes/Data/el.hevc -of /Volumes/Data/full.hevc 

this is what I get:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Volumes/Data/bl_el_rpu_builder_temp_version_revision_2.py", line 6, in <module>
    import queue
ImportError: No module named queu

Any Idea why?

When I try to install queue:

Code: Select all

 pip install queue 

I get this:

Code: Select all

DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021.

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement queue (from versions: none)

Can somebody help me?

You're on the wrong version of python

For those who want to use the command line (on Windows, MacOS and Linux), you can use your version of Python (with python >= 3) but you must first install "bitstring"

Code: Select all

pip install bitstring

Great tool, @yusesope, thank you!

I have a question - would it be possible (and not too complicated) to reverse what it does?
For example, if I have a final.hevc file with BL+EL+RPU, it would be awesome if it could split it into two (BL.hevc, EL.hevc) or even three (BL.hevc, EL.hevc, RPU) files.

Thank you so much it's working now!

Why not just keep the BL.hevc and EL.hevc which you would need to use the tool anyway? BL is the first video layer and EL is the second layer, you get them by demuxing the .m2ts file
