Yeah, I tried the nexus build and it's actually worse for me as the audio never gets in sync. And getting the FEL videos to kick off is worse as well as I have to open up the task menu every time just to get them to start, which they will in the bottom right corner. Then I have to re-open Kodi to bring it to full screen. Strange behavior, nothing new.

Hmm OK strange, I only have some audio dropouts from time to time, that's all.
But like I said they are also on the shield right now. You have installed the nightly version ?
Maybe the TV matters ? I'm using Sony a90j but directly connected to my receiver of my Ht-a9 Soundsystem.
But OK, I will check it again, when a mod of a official kodi 19.4 version is out

When I had my minix /Ugoos I killed all processes and cleared cache before every attempt to play a movie, it seemed to work better like that, if I’m being honest I think the device doesn’t have enough tam or how the cache is fed through the Ram is suitable for such high bitrate files.
I’ve given up on it all I just stick with the Z9X now.

I installed the same apk you linked me to directly above. I tried playing a rip of 1917 and made sure to play it directly after a reboot. The only thing I can think of is you have some magic combination of device settings. I think there might have been another release candidate firmware for this device, but I didn't get around to installing it yet and that's primarily because I doubt it changes anything related to FEL playback (I'm on 0.4.1). Are you sure the files you are testing have Full Enhancement Layer?

Yes I'm sure
Apocalypse n.. (remux) are played without any stutter and with atmos.
But like I said with sound dropouts here and there.
I'm going back to use my zidoo z9x.
But if they can fix the dropouts I think I use the ugoos.
Are you playing it in kodi (nexus, master) with the newest kodinerds version ?
I also have the 0.42 firmware installed, if that matters.
When you still have problems, I'm sorry, I can't help

Hey Guys,

I have been browsing a lot of pages this morning but i cant seem to find it.

I know there is a way to extract the DV layer from a WEB-DL file and add it to the UHD file to have a hybrid release that contains DV and all the original info that was in the UHD MKV.

Is there a guide for noobs how to get this done??
Thanks in advance.

Atmos sound and dolby Vision (Mel and fel) is working now on my ugoos AM6 plus box in kodi.
you are not telling us the whole truth :D . Out of about 20 DV-FEL (mkv 7.06), I can watch 2-3 movies without critical problems, the others have frequent problems with picture scattering and freezing. Not to mention problems with rewinding or resuming after stop.

Which are the few movies you have less issues with?

Hey,
is there an easy way to Remux an MKV with Dolby Vision to an MP4 with Dolby Vision?
My Oppo Clone can't play MKV + DV.
You can demux the MKV according to this guide and then remux to whatever you like.

At this point, is this the best way to extract the EL and BL from an MKV? I have been saving a lot of my full disc back-ups, so that I can easily create Blu-Ray folders on my x700 with TS-muxer. I would much rather store my back-ups as MKVs to save on space.

I don't think the ISOs created are larger than the MKVs.

Yes, for starters ISO and M2TS need the ac3 core for TrueHD tracks and with the container overhead it can make them as much as 10% bigger.

I have compiled a TsMuxer that forces dvhe.05.06 profile. It works nice where 08.06 played choppy in my Lg. You can find it here http://katfile.com/1uvd80v1b0zd/tsMuxer ... ).zip.html
Is there any chance you could reupload this? I can't seem to find this version anywhere

Black Widow UHD + P5 = the same exact source/fames/time stamps = all match exactly

Happy P8 making :)
Hi, is there a guide for this please?
I can’t get the switches correct with DoVi tool.
I converted HDR+ to DV no problem, now I want to do a UHD (P8) of Black Widow with P5 rpu.

Thanks for any help.
