I doubt it was actually converting, maybe you were just playing MEL files.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
I could be wrong but IIRC my C8 cannot even play the ac3 core of TrueHD for a DV TS/M2ts.MastaG wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 10:28 pmThats the strange thing, I just tested it with 1917 on my LG C8 in m2ts format.
Both Plex and Emby let me select between TrueHD and ac3 5.1.
I know the LG C8 doesn't support TrueHD, but when I select ac3 5.1 all audio seems silent in both players.
Could it be that some movies carry an empty ac3 track?
you should convert TrueHD/DTS to EAC3. 6-3-4 in my script.
Sorry for my English.

Okay cool. Good to know.RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 12:03 pmsince most movies have l2 trim passes, not much difference. The problem seem to be with L1 high max_pq values that have no effect.
I am still curious what your personal preference is between internal and x800. If you don't mind sharing!

Where are the previous builds?quietvoid wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 12:42 amI've made new builds available here: https://github.com/quietvoid/xbmc/releases/tag/v21-dovi
There are both 32 bits and 64 bits APKs.
The only change from the last build is that the new build also fixes grey letterbox bars when playing cropped Dolby Vision videos for FireTV.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Which builds? The one from 2021-01-23? It was replaced.
I'm not keeping multiple builds up on there.

The version before the current one as from the previous few posts it seems the new version doesn't work very well.

I don't have the previous version anymore.
Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
can you please confirm if you can FF/RW on the WebOS media player app with TS/m2ts files?RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 8:30 pmthen it's a jellyfin bug because you can FF/RW on the plex app with TS/m2ts files.afarvvik wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 10:29 amthanks for the reply @RESET_9999.
i'll check out the mp4 workflow.
TS/M2ts container is not letting me FF/RW at all. Jellyfin just freezes, the webos player says "function not available right now". is there a particular tsmuxer version that needs to be used?
Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Hi all, I'll launch a question to @RESET_9999 and every other member of this forum.
There's a guy in other forum of my country where I'm in who claims that the FireTV Stick 4K (2018 version) can now playback Dolby Vision FEL titles.
As far as I know there's no FireTV that could playback FEL files using the EL layer. From what I have guessed and taking into account that the guy is basing his claim on viewings with naked eye, this device is playing FEL titles as MEL (without using EL layer), what already has a great quality as is.
Could anybody confirm or deny this statement?
Thanks!

I just tested my C8 with DV TS files and I can confirm that FF/RW works on both PLEX and webOS app.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
He's probably talking about quietvoid's new kodi build that can play P7 as P8. Read just a couple comments above.yossSP wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 10:39 pmHi all, I'll launch a question to @RESET_9999 and every other member of this forum.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Thanks! You said that you don't use Plex for Kodi - what do you generally use to playback Dolby Vision files on Kodi?quietvoid wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 12:42 amI've made new builds available here: https://github.com/quietvoid/xbmc/releases/tag/v21-dovi

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Hi there , I have installed one of nightly master last builds on my firestick 4k and now I get DV when playing a mkv file .
Though when checking color standard output in dev mode in the firestick 4k , i get bt2020_10_hdr10 , when in Disney or Netflix app I get bt2020_10_dovi , which was what I would expect to see also in kodi when playing mkv.
Codec states Dolby vision and my tv gets the flag for DV , however color output in the firestick dev mode looks wrong .
Any thoughts ?
