Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

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.

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

It has a micro USB port and a USB C port. I'm guessing the micro USB port is for power which leaves the USB C port for an ethernet adapter/USB C to USB 3 micro b cable (external hard drive) or a hub with both ethernet and USB ports.

Would running Android mean it may be possible for app developers to work out a way to pass through HD audio to an AVR/soundbar?

Yea, it's basically just like the firestick 4k. it has an ethernet adapter that works the same way. but it's only 10/100mbps so not gigabit. and no, again like the firestick, if hd-audio isn't supported in the firmware, it's not going to be able to passthrough anything more than dd+.

USB C gigabit ethernet adapters should be able to be used (providing they are compatible with Android). Ah, so the only way to get HD audio passthrough would be with custom firmware, which there may be more of a possibility happening than say with the Firestick, given the device is running Android, but it probably won't happen.

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

Thank you so much it's working now!

unfortunately Yusesope's tool didn't helped for my setup, since it only makes dvhe.08.06, BL+RPU and dvhe.06.06, BL+EL+RPU

what I need is dvhe.05.06, BL+RPU

Does anyone know how gat I get this profile ino a ts container or how can I demux that from an mp4?

This is assuming I'm coming from a blu-ray m2ts.

I have a couple of already merged files with BL+EL+RPU and some with BL+RPU.
It'd be interesting to "split" them into separate layers. Maybe see if we can use the RPU with x265's RPU option, though I don't know if that would even work.

I noticed he said "Single Layer", any idea what profile he is talking about?

[Grencola]

I noticed he said "Single Layer", any idea what profile he is talking about?

not sure, but judging by the mp4 and pcm audio I'm guessing profile 7.
Also, the guy who sent me this video said profile 5 dv rips work in kodi 19 on his shield. can anyone with a shield verify that?

Looks like it. Installed the nightly version of kodi 19 and went through a bunch of sample files I had. The only one that worked was a profile 5 mp4 that I made with yusecope's tool in mode 2 and mp4muxer. All the other profile 4/7 mp4s/ts files played in just hdr. Same file also refused to play on kodi 18.

[Jman5150]

I googled mp4mux and had problems knowing which was the right site. Before i go further does it work on mac? Or is it pc only?
