Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

I also noticed that the x700 doesn't like the DV files that were encoded with cropped resolution (no black bars). The black bars are grey on the x700....
All the AppleTV+ web-dl have cropped resolution. The Shield has no issues with those files, I wonder if it's the same behavior on the oppo.

Yes, same on Oppo, firestick4k with patched kodi19 is fine.

I just flashed the minix u22 with the ugoos am6 0.4 firmware and all my mkv rips trigger dolby vision. I'm using the fandangos build. In the settings you can choose between player led and tv led, I did tv led. Dolby atoms pass thru working also. Only problem I have is when stopping the movie, it does not go back to the kodi menu.

Hi, are you convinced it is correctly processing the FEL stream from the MKV?

Is playback smooth or is their micro stutters and / or Pauses?

Thank you.

Is it possible to make a MP4 mux of a MKV DoVi encoded file?

I tried with this movie. This is the original file's info:

I tried with profile 4, 5, 7 but it's all the same when I try to play it directly on LG B8. It takes longer to load the file, it shows Dolby Vision logo but there's no picture at all, only sound. Also tried muxing directly with tsMuxerGUI 2.6.16-dev but the result is the same. And with profile 8 the file plays in regular HDR.

I just flashed the minix u22 with the ugoos am6 0.4 firmware and all my mkv rips trigger dolby vision. I'm using the fandangos build. In the settings you can choose between player led and tv led, I did tv led. Dolby atoms pass thru working also. Only problem I have is when stopping the movie, it does not go back to the kodi menu.

Can you point me in the direction of the custom AM6 firmware for the Minix. Thanks

Hi, are you convinced it is correctly processing the FEL stream from the MKV?

Is playback smooth or is their micro stutters and / or Pauses?

Thank you.

Yes, I have a x1100es to compare it to. Even aquaman looks exactly like the Blu-ray.

[lexyz]

Aquaman is MEL

I have the same TV, do you prefer DV to HDR even if it is less bright?

Difference is too subtle to worry about

[Big-rome]

I thought I read that aquaman was problematic. I tried aquaman, Gemini man, ready player one and Alita battle angel. All look exactly like the Blu-ray version.

Cool, may be tempted, thank you.

Just tried black panther and bumblebee. Both movies show correctly. I will try a few more later.

these are all MEL movies.

So no one with the minix & ugoos has power rangers for testing?

Also if anyone can get Chromecast & plex to play there copy of power ranger to the end
I tried on my end many times movie always stops at some point before the end lol
I’ll try again today

[RESET_9999]

yep, I agree. this is the best movie to verify if FEL is processed by the device.

So it's save to assume that Ugoos and Minix with custom firmware do support the FEL DV? And I know there is also Google TV with Chromecast ( don't onow wether it truly supports it or not ). What's your opinion about it?
