I use dolby atmos for headphone on pc to get virtual surround sound though.

that is an inferior experience to having the headphones plugged into the tv
its just wrong in so many ways
sound that just works is better, atmos is best on a real surround setup not the virtualized widows thing the other tracks on the movies are professionally down mixed not some on the fly windows stuff it will sound better and be much easier to use and all be insync

Plugging the headphone into the tv will only give stereo sound. If the source supports surround sound, having virtual surround sound, while not ideal and not as good as real dolby atmos seteup, is way better than stereo. There maybe some very slight degrade in quality but the imaging/soundstage is much better and the experience is a lot more immersive.

Plays M2TS though.

Not on my C8, .ts or m2ts DV only trigger HDR

Hi, I serve to the internal Plex app on my C7 & C9 from a shield and M2TS play fine in DV, do you use Plex or LG player, if LG player I will try it, don’t want to digging about at the back of them to plug in usb cables unless I have to.

The Plex app on the LG C8 would only play HDR when I fed it a .TS or .M2TS DV file, this was a profile 4/6 and I think I even tried profile 7 file.

Shield works fine, and DV .MP4s work fine on the LG Plex app as well

So I'm watching dolby vision remuxes on my c9 oled tv (stored on an external hdd connected via usb, played using the tv internal player) without audio, because I use headphone on my pc so everytime I have to play the same film on the pc to get the audio through headphone. Is there an easy way to synchonize between the video on the tv and the audio coming from the pc?

perhaps this approach can help you, or at least the idea may be customized to your setup: https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... eep#p82862

If these TS files contain the atmos track, i wonder if it’s because the TV plex app is trying to transcode it, losing DV in the process. Have you tried selecting that unknown ac3 5.1 track while playing or just using the internal player via dlna (you’ll get the audio not supported message instead)?

Thank you. I looked at that post before but the setup seems like a big hassle.

Yes, even made movies with only the .ac3 track to make sure

Hey Guys, I finally managed to play DV rips on my PHILIPS 65 OLED 934!

It works currently only on MX Player Pro with HW codec, so playing through network is also not possible. Hdd has to be attached to the TV

What I do is just rip it with DVDfab under Windows, doing same on macOS give horrible artefacts.
However it's only possible with Single Layer rips and E-AC-3, mp4 remux.

I've already tried several approaches from MrMC to try it to run with atmos or dts, but no chance.

Did someone managed to play DV rips through network?
Did someone managed to rip DV with Atmos?
Is there an app for AndroidTV to play those back, other than MX Player?
Is there a way to playback Dual Layer DV on AndroidTV through HDD or Network?

Yes, I can play Dolby Vision files from my laptop on my TCL Home Theatre TV in DV fine. No Plex or anything, just the Windows media streaming.

Atmos, I am not sure, I know lossless audio is possible via TSMuxer or MP4Box.

Have you tried the latest MX Player beta? they've added network server support:

hey so for all us firestick 4k peeps stuck using mx player with our dv movies, they just added SMB SUPPORT to their new beta. see here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/mx-media- ... 2-release/
I've only tried it on my phone so far but it works great! this is huge considering the firestick doesn't natively support usb hdd's and its internal storage is far too small for any full movie.

Thanks man, I tried 1.21.2 beta, but honestly can't see any difference between 1.20.7 pro. Still plays only with HW. not HW+ decoder, and HW codecs' buffering isn't good at all over network. Do you know by chance, weher I can access the SMB server within MX Player?

PowerDVD 20 is out and no DV, so we can say we never have DV in PC

I don't understand who can buy that expensive software which version after version is always the same and only works in Intel...

@Grencola what happens with your minix device? I told you, they lie and only want to sell

the beta you tried must be different than the official Playstore one on mobile, as there's a new menu item called 'Local Network' that let's you type the IP of a network server.

I know right?! that's pretty brutal. I had a feeling they'd tergiversate upon launch, seemed like a marketing gimmick. I still haven't heard from users testing it though, so there's still a small chance it can play (at least prof 5) dv files.

The 1.21.2 beta was the suggested version from the provided link with SMB in the changelog!
However, I tried 2.8.0 directly from Playstore and there's also no such thing as 'Local Network', there's only a bunch of useless added crap
See for yourself:

FYI, the request for support of Dolby Vision in MKVToolNix has been accepted by Moritz Bunkus:
https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/-/issues/2784

Can you explain a bit more what this means, jcdr428. For example, if I use MKVTOOLNIX today I can select the UHD playlist with the Dolby Vision track and generate an MKV with the Dolby Vision layer. Is there something currently not working with this process in MKVTOLNIX or is this request for something else?
