Can you share more details about the plan for this conversion, @quietvoid. It sounds really interesting. Are you using DoViBaker to achieve that on-the-fly conversion of FEL?
No, only the RPU metadata is converted to profile 8.1.
This is mostly useful for people who can't play profile 7 FEL (FireTV devices show a blank screen).
I'm not sure of other useful scenarios, other than maybe stability for other devices.

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.
Thanks. When ready, pls share your 21 build.

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.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

Code: Select all

 Choose a mode...

1) MODE.I=  DoVi Convert/Edit/Sync/Inject two inputs (P8 Hybrid maker)
2) MODE.F=  DoVi Fix/Extract/Info/Edit/Verify 1 input (doesn't convert the profile)
3) MODE.H=  DoVi Maker (from HDR10 madVR or HDR10plus)
4) MODE.P=  Profile 7 Input (MKV/BDMV)
5) MODE.B=  Dovi Batch tsMuxer: MKV/MP4 to TS
6) MODE.M=  MIXED: Remover/Measurer/Plotter/Audio/Player and more...
7) MODE.M4= MP4 Workflows
8) Exit

3) Workflow.3= back to the main menu

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

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
