Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Is the x700 able to play dolby vision m2ts file directly? Thinking of investing in a bluray player instead of relying on the oled's internal player.

Yes

Really? Since the x700 is relatively cheap, maybe people should just buy it and play the dolby vision m2ts files from it instead of going through troubles to create working dolby vision mp4 files?

that's what a lot of us here have been doing for months
The file needs to be remuxed with tsmuxer to M2TS or TS though. Still easier and faster than the mp4 method.

Ah yeah I saw your signature

What is you audio setup? Dolby atmos? Is the x700 able to output dolby atmos to the receiver while playing m2ts dolby vision files?

yep, the x700 can output any lossless audio format + Dolby Vision FEL. Subtitles also work. Cinavia free as well

Is it known why tsMuxer has to be used to remux the m2ts file from the disc again to m2ts? Is the m2ts files on the discs wrong in some way?
Is it still required to manually change the output mode to DV or has that been changed in any recent update?

The DV flags are somewhere else for a uhd-bd structure (not in the m2ts file itself).

Which version of tsmuxer should we use in this case? And is it simply adding the original m2ts file into tsmuxer and click ts muxing?

If you use the x700 for HDR10 content as well, then yes you have to turn off DV otherwise this player applies fake DV to any TS or M2TS file (even bluray discs).
Then how do I know if the tsmuxer files are true DV? ------> just look at the player OSD.
Then you could say use MKV container for HDR10/SDR? ----> Well just like tsmuxer, this player only supports TrueHD audio with an AC3 core.

It's not really an issue for me since I only use it for DV content and I use my madvr HTPC for SDR/HDR10.

Is it really cinavia free? Even my old BDP-S6700 has it. And I heard (a long time ago though that) sony is the only studio to use cinavia protection on its discs.

I don't know about burned bluray disc playback but via USB file playback, yes it is cinavia free.
bought mine 3 years ago and never updated the firmware, maybe someone who bought it recently can confirm that nothing changed...

I wonder is possbile to force non-dv video to play as dv via kodi on Shield TV?

I don't know about the Shield, but the Firestick only triggers Dolby Vision for the TV when there is proper metadata.
Otherwise, there is an option to have Dolby Vision enabled all the time. I don't think the Shield can do that.

I'm out of the loop. Kodi can pay DV content now? Is this only for mp4s or mkvs as well?

MP4s with official releases, MKVs with custom builds: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?ti ... pid3003730

Thanks! Do you know if those custom builds only work on Shield, or can I sideload it on TVs (such as my sony x900h) with android TV?

They work on the Shield and Firestick, at least these: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=360018
Some reports that it works for some on Sony in that thread, you'd have to try for yourself.

Sorry I don't really understand this part... Say a movie is hdr10 only, why don't you play the m2ts file using the x700 but a htpc instead?

Just got a LG CX and was thinking of re-ripping my BluRays for Dolby Vision playback, however after reading this thread it seems there's many issues with DV.
I use the Internal LG CX Player and also have a Nvidia Shield with Plex. After reading around some it seems TV-Led DV seems superior which means limiting myself to dual layer mp4 instead of using Plex on the Shield.
But from reading around the internal player has playback Issues, and the Shield has the color palette issue as well as not supporting FEL (unsure if the internal player supports FEL?).

Is there any "bug-free" method of playing back Dolby Vision right now with all it's features (FEL+MEL, whatever you name it) or should I just keep myself to HDR10?
