Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[ragico]

I would love to test a 64 bit build! I'm not sure if its because the Shield isn't compatible with this version, but when I install the Plex addon I just get an endless loading bar with the Plex logo

I've made new builds available here: https://github.com/quietvoid/xbmc/releases/tag/v21-dovi
There are both 32 bits and 64 bits APKs.

The only change from the last build is that the new build also fixes grey letterbox bars when playing cropped Dolby Vision videos for FireTV.

I have installed your latest build on my firestick 4k max and the .ts files p5, p8 and p7 do not work anymore.
When I try to open any of them Kodi closes. Still works with mkv.
Before this update everything worked perfectly.

Thanks, I also get the crash for .ts.
I'll look into it later.

I found the issue, it seems I can't convert the RPU from .ts for now.
The arm-v7a release was updated, I'll do the other later.
It should fix the crash but .ts profile 7 won't be converted.

Just a quick question.
Without using RESET_9999's scripts..

Lets say I have created my final hevc file.
And I want to pack it into a m2ts file with audio.
Can I just use tsmuxerGui to add the movie.hevc as the first track.
And then open the main playlist from the original bluray disc and add the TrueHD+ac3 core audio as second track.
Then just mux both tracks into a m2ts container.

The reason I'm asking is because my movie 1917 triggers DV on all devices but doesn't play audio.
Even when selecting the core ac3 one its all silent.

I notice many people are using eac3to but what for?
The audio is on the original bluray disc, why should I mess with it?

[RESET_9999]

thanks for the reply @RESET_9999.
i'll check out the mp4 workflow.
TS/M2ts container is not letting me FF/RW at all. Jellyfin just freezes, the webos player says "function not available right now". is there a particular tsmuxer version that needs to be used?

then it's a jellyfin bug because you can FF/RW on the plex app with TS/m2ts files.

Yes working again but not P7 as you said.
Curious because before, everything was working perfectly, including P7 as I said a few posts before.

Thats the strange thing, I just tested it with 1917 on my LG C8 in m2ts format.
Both Plex and Emby let me select between TrueHD and ac3 5.1.
I know the LG C8 doesn't support TrueHD, but when I select ac3 5.1 all audio seems silent in both players.

Could it be that some movies carry an empty ac3 track?

I doubt it was actually converting, maybe you were just playing MEL files.

I could be wrong but IIRC my C8 cannot even play the ac3 core of TrueHD for a DV TS/M2ts.
you should convert TrueHD/DTS to EAC3. 6-3-4 in my script.

[caelar900]

since most movies have l2 trim passes, not much difference. The problem seem to be with L1 high max_pq values that have no effect.

Okay cool. Good to know.
I am still curious what your personal preference is between internal and x800. If you don't mind sharing!

Where are the previous builds?

Where are the previous builds?

Which builds? The one from 2021-01-23? It was replaced.
I'm not keeping multiple builds up on there.

The version before the current one as from the previous few posts it seems the new version doesn't work very well.

There's no difference except that it doesn't crash.
I don't have the previous version anymore.

can you please confirm if you can FF/RW on the WebOS media player app with TS/m2ts files?
