It will play without stutters and the dolby vision will be kept. I usually playback those with just Player or vimu. Mkv work a lot better than mp4

Where do you get that from? You can easily play with Vimu apk or Just player. Dolby Vision and Atmos will be triggered, even the notification appears and there‘s a clearly difference to normal HDR

Hello all,

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my Oppo UDP-203 (stock firmware) to play a .ts or .m2ts file correctly with Dolby Vision. Full-folder backup embedded in a AVCHD file works fine, but I'd really like to get down to individual titles especially for 4K titles like Game of Thrones with multiple episodes and default lossy audio.

I am using the latest tsmuxer 2.6.12 to demux the 2160p and 1080p video layers along with audio tracks, and then remuxing into a single .ts or .m2ts file. With either option, the result is that my Oppo will only play in HDR10 even though MediaInfo shows that both video tracks end up in the resulting .ts file, though it does still show them as separate video streams when I check the file.

I've also tried using the resulting MKV from running through MakeMKV once it has pared the video track down into a single video stream, but tsMuxer is still just presenting a HDR10 track to my Oppo.

Any ideas on what I'm missing?

What could be some problems that have caused this? I've never had this issue before..
Yep, I have the same problem with some DV MP4. I switched to the TS container and I never had the stuttering issues again with DV. You just have to keep the subtitles externally.

Hmmm Which option would I select from your .bat going from bdmv, or even mkv dv that's already dv, to a dv format the lg c9 can handle?

I am using an LG C9 and do not have an external player. The LG C9 as far as we all know, only plays mp4s ts and m2ts files that are DV.

I thought Oppo suffered from a lock-up when playing two DV ts files sequentially, or has this been fixed meanwhile? Anyways, did you try latest nightly build of tsMuxer?

To my knowledge tsMuxer can't de-interleave BL and EL from a single videotrack - as used in mkv. It can demux/remux them from/to separate videotracks.

from BDMV: Mode P7 (3) ---> Mode 1 (1) ---> Workflow 1 (1)
from MKV P7: Mode P7 (3) ---> Mode 2 (2) ---> Workflow 2 (2)

then tsmuxer nightly to mux the output files. There are also the same workflows in the mp4muxer modes.

Hey, has anyone had any problems to get to play Spider-Man No Way Home DV P7 Framestor Remux in the Sony X700?
I converted the mkv to m2ts using latest nightly tsmuxer but the player freezes and shows a black screen, nothing ever plays.
Is there something I may be doing wrong? Thanks.

Normal... all the MEL 2mbps movies muxed in ST-DL wont work on the x700/x800m2 ( some fel movie as well).
If you demux and remux to DT-DL, it will work. You can also convert it to profile 8 since its a mel movie, you wont lose any quality.

Anybody knows if or what is wrong with titles that carry a 2mbps MEL? Figuring that MEL is just a placeholder for RPU, I wonder what other crap is stored within to make up for this high bitrate. I'm comparing to other titles with MEL going @ 60 - 90 kbps.

I would like to know that as well... We should ask Stacey Spears since they used a 2mbps bitrate on the MEL version of their montage.

As far as I know, the difference is how the EL stream is encoded.
2mbps is a regular encode of a static grey image, while the lowest bitrate ones are simply zeroed out, resulting in a green output when decoded.

You can simply look at the bitstream and see a bunch of zeros in slices.
Regardless of method, the final output should be the same.

@ RESET_9999
Does Sony X800M2 play profile 8 MKV? I thought it couldn't play DV MKV at all.
