Removing the subtitles doesn’t solve the stuttering problem in the Z9X with Dolby Vision and True HD, I have tried it, removing the subtitle or marking subtitle tracks as ‘default no’ does however stop the Z9X decoder from crashing during playback of profile 8 as you have found out.ghostshadow wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 1:48 pmHello, little news. I made a mkv dv profile 8 file which didn't play on the Zidoo Z9x, with audio track and subtitle, it blocked the zidoo altogether.
With the help of a colleague (Ramutcho) who was able to test, by removing the pgs (subtitle) the mkv goes well in dv. It would be necessary to test on a mkv dv with atmos tracks if by removing the subtitles that does not solve the stuttering problem.

Ok so thank you, TrueHD tracks and subtitles are problematic on DV, and what on zidoo?DaMacFunkin wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 7:42 pmRemoving the subtitles doesn’t solve the stuttering problem in the Z9X with Dolby Vision and True HD, I have tried it, removing the subtitle or marking subtitle tracks as ‘default no’ does however stop the Z9X decoder from crashing during playback of profile 8 as you have found out.ghostshadow wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 1:48 pmHello, little news.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Hi sorry, should have been more precise, this is in relation to PGS subs on Profile 8 with TrueHD only on the Z9X, I also believe some people are having problems with subs both srt and pgs if they are in the container on some titles on the Shield via Plex.ghostshadow wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 8:09 pmOk so thank you, TrueHD tracks and subtitles are problematic on DV, and what on zidoo?DaMacFunkin wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 7:42 pmRemoving the subtitles doesn’t solve the stuttering problem in the Z9X with Dolby Vision and True HD, I have tried it, removing the subtitle or marking subtitle tracks as ‘default no’ does however stop the Z9X decoder from crashing during playback of profile 8 as you have found out.ghostshadow wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 1:48 pmHello, little news.

Spectre (forced subs) is one in particular.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Thank you, but if we only talk about the TrueHD audio track with the DV it causes stuttering only on Zidoo or also on other players.DaMacFunkin wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 6:57 amHi sorry, should have been more precise, this is in relation to PGS subs on Profile 8 with TrueHD only on the Z9X, I also believe some people are having problems with subs both srt and pgs if they are in the container on some titles on the Shield via Plex.ghostshadow wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 8:09 pmOk so thank you, TrueHD tracks and subtitles are problematic on DV, and what on zidoo?DaMacFunkin wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 7:42 pm

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Can you name the titles you faced this issue with?PlatypusW wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 12:01 pmCorrect. Makemkv will tell you that the two layers are out of sync, seems to always occur at just after the 47 minute mark (duration of the file). If makemkv doesn’t warn you about it, you should be fine. It’s pretty obvious when it happens as makemkv suppressed the warning due too many of them.
It will still complete fine, but then when you try to watch the file, once you get to 47 minutes, as the layers are out of sync, the video just starts flashing constantly.
Has been discussed in one of these topics somewhere - the only way to avoid it for now is to use Gamma. That said, it only happened on 4/5 titles I tried so you might be okay with some.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
What I also know, is that when you play DV files, let's say 07.06 with TrueHD track through TV, it gets down-converted to E-AC-3. And when it does the down-convertig the DV Metadata gets stripped down and it plays only regular HDR.ghostshadow wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 8:08 amThank you, but if we only talk about the TrueHD audio track with the DV it causes stuttering only on Zidoo or also on other players.DaMacFunkin wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 6:57 amHi sorry, should have been more precise, this is in relation to PGS subs on Profile 8 with TrueHD only on the Z9X, I also believe some people are having problems with subs both srt and pgs if they are in the container on some titles on the Shield via Plex.ghostshadow wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 8:09 pm

When I switch to DTS or AC-3, DV playback gets restored. Maybe the down-converting happens also with Zidoo and that's why it's stuttering.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Not in my case because the audio is passthrough on the zidoo and not on the tv but on an audio headset.darrrkmanxxx wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 9:17 amWhat I also know, is that when you play DV files, let's say 07.06 with TrueHD track through TV, it gets down-converted to E-AC-3.

No known way at the moment

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
I can't seem to make a proper MEL mkv for 1917 using either gamma or beta. The generated mkv runs fine on MPC-HC but not on PLEX on my Sony X90H TV (The files starts playing from the start but I cant seek it forward as it gets stuck in endless loading trying to seek the file forward). I have done FEL to MEL conversion for movies like First Man, Aquaman, Atomic Blonde, 13 Hours, Black Panther using gamma/beta and they run fine.
I guess this is something to do with 1917 being hdr10plus also? I tried using the skiphdr10plus command but even that made no difference.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Try doing it without the audio track. In the second command window, remove the "-map 1:2". That did the trick for me.koolkunz wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 6:55 pmI can't seem to make a proper MEL mkv for 1917 using either gamma or beta.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Apologies b/c I just stumbled upon this issue that I'm having with the inability to play FEL Dolby Vision MKVs via the Zidoo Z9X and a Sony A8H 65". MEL files I have not had an issue with.
This may be a dumb question, but is this something as easily rectified by a firmware update or the Zidoo inherently not an ideal option for Dolby Vision playback? I could move the Oppo 203 to this unit, though I'd rather keep it with my projector.
Thanks in advance. Have been combing forums on Zidoo and Sony to find other people dealing with this issue.
