Great to hear that x700 plays DV from the bd structure I had S6700 which also supported bd structure, but the screen used to freeze for few seconds while forwarding/rewinding. Does this mean it's better to go for sony? Unfortunately i can't purchase ugoos or minix at my place.
I just tried the tsmuxer-to-BDMV method on my Sony X700 with Spiderman Homecoming, and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that the forced subs came on in the sandwich shop scene at around 15mins. Forced subs don't work via the m2ts method as far as I know.
Awesome. Btw, does dv still trigger if I convert the already remuxed mkv files in dv to bdmv folder?
Yep, you have to turn off DV in order to get 12 or 10 bits in HDR10 otherwise you're stuck in 8bit for everything. that sucks!!
I've compared DV with my x700 and it looks pretty much the same to me. My DSLR camera captured a small difference that I didn't notice in real life. MUCH better than the Shield for sure!!!
That's good news at least; thanks for the extensive testing.
With DV off, are you getting the correct colours now for the SDR/HDR10 test patterns? If so, it's something that should be easy for Ugoos to fix as bobby mentioned (match content colourspace with DV on).
I get round this problem by converting everything to DV, it does a very good job converting SDR and HDR.
Any difference between Ugoos and Minix in terms of DV format support? Which one would you
recommend,?
Funnily enough I found the Minix loaded with the Ugoos 4.0 firmware to perform slightly better than the Ugoos when using Kodi in terms of stuttering after seeking. I've also found that running the DV mkv through mkvtoolnix after being created in MakeMKV makes it perform in terms of stuttering in Kodi. Hopefully of course all of these issues will be sorted in Kodi. So at the moment my recommendation is to get the Minix and load the Ugoos firmware on it!
When using the minix, after I stop the Dolby vision movie and the Kodi gui shows up I see what looks like another refresh rate change. Also the same when I exit Kodi and go back to the android interface. Do you experience that?
Same problem here everything is buggy, sometimes I have to start a Dolby Vision mkv 3 or 4 times before it works correctly
Ok after a pretty good review of the ugoos so far, ordering mines today, just to have as a backup for the Sony x700fel playback.

The Dolby Vision RPU also contains the same ST2086 HDR10 metadata inside.
So where is the 4000 from
yep that's right, when I turn off DV on my x700 and play a profile 5 file, I get HDR10 playback with the metadata from the RPU which corresponds to the HDR10 counterpart. I will try justice league on my x700 tonight.
The metadata posted by manix are the one from the HDR10 stream on HBO..
it's not a DV to HDR10 conversion.
maybe the web-dl are fake ? notice how the HDR10 version is encoded with wrong Chroma subsampling type 1 instead of type 2
you cant really fake a DV release though... maybe other streaming platforms? this is a mystery
Doesn't seem to be a different service, but maybe they do have multiple versions for different displays.
600 nits, 1000 nits, etc. are all possible targets for Dolby Vision.
That would explain how the MaxCLL is very close to the target..
