Any updates on the CMv2.9 bug on the newer LG TVs?

I will compare more movies this weekend, but I'm 99% sure that using the internal player renders better quality (regarless of FEL and lossless audio).
Not only L1 works properly but the colors have a lot more pop.(https://youtu.be/dupNfI8vkPk)
I'll upload the comparisons on my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEYM1g ... gPuyd4JL_g

Thanks for the information. I should have mentioned I was asking about FEL playback which the LG C1 cannot play. :(

I've placed an order (but cancelled) an order for the Oppo-203 clone and also returned the Sony x800m2 because of that bug and I was wondering if any playback method existed w/o any bugs (for the LG C1).

i have downloaded a mkv remux of game of thrones episode. if i drag this file to your dovi script, it says no DV found. so i've mux the file with tsmuxer (not the tsmuxer of your link because there is no .exe?) to .ts with the baselayer, dvlayer and truehd. then i've dragged this to your doviscript program, but there is no dv file found.

i'm doing wrong, but what? can you please explain me in steps?

Sounds like your file is dual-track DV (hdr layer + 1080p dv layer) which is not supported in MKV. I see that rarbg did that instead of Single track P7.

So what you have to do is:

1- Remux the mkv to bluray folder output with tsmuxer ( select only video 1 + 2, AC3).... uncheck TrueHD!
2- Then in my script use: 4-1-3 Go in the new bluray folder, drag and drop the MPLS file ( playlist folder) two times (first-time scan all the playlists, 2nd-time process the movie).

Nop, it doesnt exist :(
I would say the Shield is the closest of doing it right but because of the red push, it ruins everything.

Well, I don't know what you're doing wrong because it's working (see the gif).
Do it manually with yusesope's tool otherwise:viewtopic.php?f=12&t=18602&start=2970#p96282

did you uncheck TrueHD before muxing the bluray folder ?

dgdemux(my script use it to demux) wont work with BDMV that contain a truehd (without core)

s04e06. but i think the problem is different. very thanks for your input for this noob. my tsmuxer is from this website https://www.videohelp.com/software/tsMuxeR. but you gave me a another link. i think the problem is there. but i can't start you're tsmuxer because there is no tsmuxer.exe gui in it.

yep, that's the problem.
get the latest from GitHub or you can use the one included in my script tool pack (tools folder / tsmuxer GUI).

I see from @RESET_9999 's Playback-Devices C9 should support FEL mp4 and lossy audio.
If you want to do it manually, for example for the
'Game.of.Thrones.S01.2160p.BluRay.REMUX.HEVC.DTS-HD.MA.TrueHD.7.1.Atmos-FGT'
You could try:

1. Extract bl.hevc, el.hevc, audio.ac3

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i remux.mkv -map 0:0 -c copy bl.hevc -map 0:1 -c copy el.hevc -map 0:4 -c copy audio.ac3
2. Mux using old mp4muxer from @RESET_9999 's tools pack

Code: Select all

mp4muxer -i bl.hevc -i el.hevc -i audio.ac3 -o dual_track_fel.mp4
or if above is "not stable"
2. Generate single track BL_EL_RPU.hevc by dovi_tool (yusesope's tool is a little complicated)

Code: Select all

dovi_tool mux --bl bl.hevc --el el.hevc
3. Mux using old mp4muxer from @RESET_9999 's tools pack

Code: Select all

mp4muxer -i BL_EL_RPU.hevc -i audio.ac3 -o single_track_fel.mp4
But I'm not very certain about these command lines, please double check @RESET_9999 and point out my mistakes, thanks! :)
If both @RESET_9999 's script and above fail, it may because the file is corrupted.

Edit: Oh I see you have already found the problem, cheers.
