If you were using tsmuxer, then yes, there's a problem with TrueHD from an MKV being added there, but, the problem isn't with the MKV. This new MKV format means we don't have to touch any other tools. Rip to MKV, add to NAS, play in Plex. Done. Eventually. Shorter term is play in Kodi with yusecope's exoplayer apk I believe. Once his apk is released, we'll need to put together a detailed thread on how us SHIELD owners can use it with all the setup instructions. Cause I'm itching to try it out for sure.

Looks like somebody might've beaten yusecope to the punch:

I was able to build an apk out of this pull request and it does seem to be working as far triggering DV on the 2019 Shield goes for 1.15.2 mkvs. Pretty good news overall that things are progressing this fast

It's a tough world out there
I am also happy that things are moving quickly.

That's awesome LOL Now we need to get some detailed instructions on getting this set up in Kodi for now until things get more official with things like Plex.

For us mere mortals though, your efforts and time spent are appreciated.
Really looking forward to you releasing the APK.

Who wants to buy me an Vertex or Integral?

I gotta say, re-ripping all these back to MKV might be a pain, but, what a space saving exercise! I tend to forget how much of a pigdog TS is.

Ahh ok understand then that will be the problem. Unfortunately I missed the fact that this is known and is not a makemkv error. Then it's perfect. Looking forward to the APK and an implementation by Plex. All very good news here. Thanks again to everyone who pushed the topic.

I think Plex uses FFmpeg for that part, I don't know if they can just add support to FFmpeg in their build without add to FFmpeg master, but it would be a good thing to have in the master, because other players like Kodi could benefit from it.

Yes, the Plex team said so. they have to integrate it into FFmpeg. "ExoPlayer doesn’t matter one bit here. What matters is FFmpeg."

Would you be able to provide an APK to try with? I'd love to test this out on my 2019 Shield as well!

Patience. I'm pretty sure yusesope is planning on releasing an exoplayer apk once the code is cleaned up.

I have a Vertex 2 I wanna try some real DV content with (non-streaming content). I have this weekend off and am working straight the next 2 weeks lol. Was hoping for something to mess around with while I have the limited time off

Also want to test if DV is being triggered, I have something like 20 discs i want to re-rip over the weekend, just to confirm they're triggering LLDV correctly

So convert it to a TS for now. The instructions for doing so are all over this thread. Then you can try it in plex to make sure it works for you.
