Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Post by Walterclon »

Hi,
This is my first post, I´ve been following this topic from time ago, but this weekend I finally started to put hand on building playable DV files on my LG B7.

I tried to find an answer to my problem all along the topic, but no luck.

Everytime I used mp4muxer (any version) I get an empty (0kb) file, and I cant figured out what Im doing wrong.

In image you can see the files Im trying to use (BL, El and ac3) and the command line

what Im doing wrong?

thanks!
Walter

The reason you have a 0kb file is You need to wait for it to finish, it can look like nothing is happening but depending on the speed of your system plus the size of your file it could be 20 - 40 mins before the file finishes outputting.

Thanks for your comment.
wait for 1hs and still 0kb. Tested using differents disks and the same 0kb output.

After writing the command line, as soon as I press enter, the output file is created and in cmd its appear the line referring to a disk/folder (in my case H:\DV Test>)

but nothing happens, should I see some command/instruction like "%counting" or something denoting mp4muxer is working?

Thanks

What am I doing wrong? DV is not triggered when playing MKV files via Plex and Shield Pro
TV: Sony 900H (supports full DV profile)
HDMI3 - set to DV

Plex Player: Shield Pro (2019) using latest Plex App. Hardwired to AX86U router using Cat6 via switch.
Tried 2 different resolution settings - 4K 23.976 Hz and 4K 59.940 Hz

Plex Server: On a desktop PC (hardwired to AX86U router using Cat6 via switch) and library also on a HDD with movies ripped using latest MakeMKV 1.16.3
Receiver: Denon X3300W (2016 model and also supports DV).
All cables are Monoprice Premium Certified HDMI cables

Media Info for the movies mention the HDR format to be DV dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU

Example movies. LOTR, Indiana Jones, Black Panther, Matrix.

I've opened this a while ago, no change since then, so just sticking to the old version of plex. Does anyone know if Jellyfin can playback dv in mkv?

DV started working after updating firmware on my Sony 900H and factory reset of Shield Pro.

With the latest ver of plex? dvhe 07.06 in mkv container?
On my Philips TV 65OLED934/12 I always have to revert back to plex ver 8.12.2.22756.

Even if it's 8.12.3, it stops playing back dvhe 07.06 mkv files

I rechecked today.
The Plex Player App on my Shield and on my Sony 900H TV are the same version 8.20.0.26605.
The Plex Server version 1.23.4.4805 is running on Windows 10. There was a recent update to the PMS, but no impact on DV (before/after server version update).
MKV files were created with MakeMKV version 1.16.3 and it shows "Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible"

When running Plex app on Sony TV, I make sure that I choose non-HD audio stream. For Shield/Plex, I choose HD audio (I connect Shield to AVR). In both instances, DV is triggered on my TV. I also verified that both, audio and video, is Direct Play and there is no transcoding.

This is the only way I can get Dolby Vision to work in my setup.

Sony 950H->Native Plex App->non-HD audio->Dolby Vision works
Nvidia Shield 2019 Pro->Plex App->Any audio HD included->Dolby Vision works

Both Sony and Shield are hard wired with the content coming off a Linux server with NAS storage (ZFS). Sometimes I'll get some stuttering and I'm not sure what is causing this. I think it may be related to audio which is odd since everything passes through the Denon 4700 AVR.

One backup, Ne Zha, displayed the horrible red issue that has been discussed here from time to time with Dolby Vision. That was unwatchable. Other than that when everything aligns the picture is incredible.

This is same for me except replacing 950H/Denon 4700 (your devices) with my Sony 900H/Denon X3300W AVR.

The better question is if it plays DTDL FEL. Also, the speed of the network port.

Are you guys aware someone from BHD ( and some other trackers ) came up with a script to use the online WEB-DL DV layer and combine it with a UHD disk HDR10 layer? Like the movies from Disney Plus. It's DV with streaming, but HDR10 with the UHD disks. As I am typing this, I am trying to get my hands on the script. Will share it once I have it.

Interesting. Looing forward to this, especially, if can be combined with ripped MKV HDR10 titles

There is already Marvel Endgame 2019 remux available in P8 and HDR10 compatible. It works with most devices like Fire TV, Shield and etc. The DV RPU was extracted from Disney Plus and it was later combined with the HDR10 later from UHD Disk. I am working on getting the script. Wish me luck!
