Code: Select all
Video
ID : 1
Format : HEVC
Format/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding
Format profile : Main 10@L5.1@High
HDR format : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.09, BL+EL+RPU / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible
Codec ID : hev1

But for me it does not play at all.. all I get is a black screen and a spinner, both in Emby and from usb disk using the builtin mediaplayer.
Something wrong with the above steps or commands?
Any help would be nice
Here is HELP
I googled for the last few hours and I could not find an answer to the same question. I muxed the BL and EL video tracks with the command:
Code: Select all
mp4muxer --dv-profile 7 -i BL.hevc -i EL.hevc --media-lang eng --output-file BL+EL.mp4
And for me the movie on my LG C9 was also not playing, showing only the "spinner" all the time. After some investigation I found that the issue might be here. After muxing the tracks into one MP4 file: BL+EL.mp4 - the EL track (2nd one) was described as:
Code: Select all
HDR format : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.09, BL+EL+RPU / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible
Codec ID : hev1
Codec ID/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding
And I found that in order for a Dolby Vision MP4 to play correctly on LG C9 it has to be like this:
Code: Select all
HDR format : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.09, BL+EL+RPU / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible
Codec ID : dvhe
Codec ID/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding with Dolby Vision
So I needed to find a way to change
hev1 into
dvhe inside the EL video track inside the MP4 container.
I could not figure out any command or switch in mp4muxer or m4box to do so (there might be one) so I decided to go a different way.
I downloaded HxD Editor
https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/
Then I opened the BL+EL.mp4 file and I went to menu Search -> Find -> Search for: "
hev1" + Case sensitive (checked).
Inside an MP4 file without audio tracks (could be the same inside a file with audio tracks) it was
the 2nd search result.
So after I found the first "hev1" occurance (line 01E0) I looked for the 2nd one "hev1" (F3 - Search next) which was line 00023AF00. My guess was that the video streams were written in the MP4 file in the sequence: BL and only then the 2nd one is EL.
So then I just overwrote the 2nd occurance of "hev1" into "
dvhe".
After that I just saved the file File -> Save. HxD Editor will create a backup for you so you don't need to backup the file before in case something goes wrong.
After opening Plex on LG C9 voila... Dolby Vision! No more spinning wheel.
And in the MediaInfo I found:
Code: Select all
HDR format : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.09, BL+EL+RPU / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible
Codec ID : dvhe
Codec ID/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding with Dolby Vision
I hope someone will find it helpful.
