Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Please can you share your Kodi 20 build?
Many thanks

I don't have any new one as my latest added on the fly DoVi converting for profile 7, FEL.
It's v21 though, and not really ready.

Can this conversion code under Kodi be found in one of the github repos?

I ran the tool using 4-3 once with DD+ and once without, and I get no audio with BTTF. The video does play in Dolby Vision.

Your input must have lossless audio(THD or DTS) i think. Also , no need to convert DDP audio for the x800m2.

Is there alternative way to have audio work? My makemkv only has one audio track

Thanks

you can disable the muxing at line 21 but later today i will post a new version that can mux all the audio/sub from the input (will only be for MKV though, tsmuxer is much more complicated)

I would also like to ask if there is a way to merge 12 single channel WAV files into 7.1.4 multi-channel PCM or WAV.
I tried FFmpeg's amerge but I don't know how to merge the over head channel.
To be honest, I don't know anything about audio encoding, and I have no idea what I'm doing.

Feel free to test this 7.1.4.wav on ATV or QuickTime.
5.1.4.wav

I'm still struggling on experimenting FFmpeg's command.
The current command I used to get that file

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i "12_Channel_ID 1.wav" -i "12_Channel_ID 2.wav" -i "12_Channel_ID 3.wav" -i "12_Channel_ID 4.wav" -i "12_Channel_ID 5.wav" -i "12_Channel_ID 6.wav" -i "12_Channel_ID 7.wav" -i "12_Channel_ID 8.wav" -i "12_Channel_ID 9.wav" -i "12_Channel_ID 10.wav" -i "12_Channel_ID 11.wav" -i "12_Channel_ID 12.wav" -c pcm_s32le -filter_complex "join=inputs=12:channel_layout=7.1+TFL+TFR+TBL+TBR:map=0.0-FL|1.0-FR|2.0-FC|3.0-LFE|4.0-BL|5.0-BR|6.0-SL|7.0-SR|8.0-TFL|9.0-TFR|10.0-TBL|11.0-TBR" 7.1.4.wav

The last four "front left, front right, back left, back right" should play in TFL, TFR, TBL, TBR.

Forgive me if I sound like an idiot, but I thought I was already getting Dolby Vision-encoded MKV files from MakeMKV. They are showing up in my Plex Media Server as having both Dolby Vision and HDR-10. This was ripped from MakeMKV with an LG drive to a TS folder for archiving, then used MakeMKV again to rip the TS folder into MKV files.

update to the latest version of the script (beta).
some functions(like L6 editing) dont work with the latest Dovi_tool version and dovi_script 1.7.1 or older...
or downgrade dovi_tool

Will do, thanks! I’ll report back later if that worked

Thanks. When ready, pls share your 21 build.

Here's a build on top of https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/22546, which also disables HDR10+.
https://mega.nz/file/pZln1IhT#QlMIyPOhW ... 6LidHO1Xqg

There's a setting in the Video section named "Convert Dolby Vision for compatibility".
It converts profile 7 only RPUs to profile 8.1, and also ignores the EL (in case of single track).

This solves the blank screens when playing FEL files on FireTV Stick (4K and 4K Max), and possibly also the Cube.

If anyone's interested in testing on other devices, I could do a 64 bits build.

Thank you very much. Your build works like a charm and the "Convert Dolby Vision for compatibility" is really amazing.

I would love to test a 64 bit build! I'm not sure if its because the Shield isn't compatible with this version, but when I install the Plex addon I just get an endless loading bar with the Plex logo

The Shield is indeed 64 bits. But also most addons are not Kodi 21 compatible.
So it might be the reason. I've never tried the Plex addon, but PlexKodiConnect doesn't support 21 officially.
As it is still early for 21, it's possible things still work fine.

I guess I'll make a 64 bits version later.

hi

apologize if this question has been asked but the search excludes 2 letter terms like "lg" & "c8"

i want to mux dolby vision profile 5 & profile 8 mkv's to mp4 so that they can play on my lg c8 internal player/jellyfin.

i came across ffmpeg command from here
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffmpeg/comment ... fmpeg_and/

but the command

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -y -i input.mkv -map 0:v:0 -c copy -map 0:a -c copy -strict unofficial output.mp4 

did not work.

after a lot of tries i realised that the files were being muxed to "isom" codec for some reason even though the video codec was supposed to be copied. so when i added "-brand mp42" flag it worked & now i can mux profile 5 web-dl rips to mp4 using that (or at least the 1 file i've tried).

but profile 8 videos don't work.

for eg a file like this

i came across @RESET_9999 spreadsheet & tried using tsmuxer. now those work in DV in m2ts format (ts format does not work) but issue is i cannot seek (rewind, FF etc) which is an issue if i want to go back or stop the movie & resume later. is there a particular tsmuxer flag or version that has to be used so that it works?

another user posted this but that google drive link is dead so dont know which version @tommo8 used.

hi
apologize if this question has been asked but the search excludes 2 letter terms like "lg" & "c8"
i want to mux dolby vision profile 5 & profile 8 mkv's to mp4 so that they can play on my lg c8 internal player/jellyfin.

take a look at the script in my signature, there is an MP4 workflow for older LG TV... PM if you need help finding the tools that work with it.

IIRC you wont be able to FF/RW in a mp4 container because your file is encoded with "open-gop". Not sure about the C8 but that's how my C2 plex behaves.
TS/M2ts container will let you FF/RW open-gop encode but it will freeze a couple of seconds, you just have to be patient and give it time to resume.
