You can just use the decrypted original folder back, too, then without any extra remuxing, no? Any way to possibly do this over the network or USB only?
This is the first thing I tried...
you have to remux with tsmuxer. you can't keep the original structure with the menu.
Huge downside though, It only works if the folders are in the root of the USB drive(no network) so I don't think you can use this method with more than 1 movie on a drive. Can be handy for long movies that you can't usually FF when in TS container.
even though the folder is really named BDMV, the x700 sees it as an AVCHD structure:

I wonder why the Blu-Ray community has not hacked the Sony X700 player. It seems like a very capable player. It handles pretty much anything you throw at it ( except the MKV since its something new and I doubt it will ever support it )

Wait, hold up... So you mean this only works when that hard drive contains nothing but that movie's folders?

Makes me wonder if there's a hacky way of having multiple films by building a structure with each film being a separate chapter (yes it would mess up chapters in each individual movie)
Is the Minix neo running Ugoos firmware a better buy hardware wise or are they the same build quality?
Same, I have both.
Any difference between Ugoos and Minix in terms of DV format support? Which one would you recommend,?
Funnily enough I found the Minix loaded with the Ugoos 4.0 firmware to perform slightly better than the Ugoos when using Kodi in terms of stuttering after seeking. I've also found that running the DV mkv through mkvtoolnix after being created in MakeMKV makes it perform in terms of stuttering in Kodi. Hopefully of course all of these issues will be sorted in Kodi. So at the moment my recommendation is to get the Minix and load the Ugoos firmware on it!

Great to hear that x700 plays DV from the bd structure I had S6700 which also supported bd structure, but the screen used to freeze for few seconds while forwarding/rewinding. Does this mean it's better to go for sony? Unfortunately i can't purchase ugoos or minix at my place.

When using the minix, after I stop the Dolby vision movie and the Kodi gui shows up I see what looks like another refresh rate change. Also the same when I exit Kodi and go back to the android interface. Do you experience that?
