Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

The 8-2 flow created a 7.1 track with 1024kbps bit-rate, which seems to play fine in the LG TV's Kodi. Also, not sure if this Kodi is so smart, as otherwise I hate it with a passion, but seems the sound is in sync playing through it. Either it's that smart or it just happens that its usual delay is around 1 second, which is the delay required in my test case. I have a feeling it's the later. Through Zidoo I have the delay also.

yes, 7.1 encoding with my the script is limited to 1024kbps.
It's the 5.1 encoding that can go up to 1536 and it stutter in Kodi so that's why you need the unreleased version of the script I just posted for those.

So, LG TV's Kodi still sucks. I corrected the delay and now I got the correct sync when played on PC or Zidoo. When played through the Kodi Plex add-on, there is a slight delay on the video, I can notice a 2-300ms of delay. Playing the same file directly into Kodi, I get a delay in sound. It's annoying as hell getting DV MKVs to play properly on the LG...

I have no such issue and I watched like 5 movies and two seasons of a TV show.

Are you playing them from USB HDD connected to the LG or through network server?

[RESET_9999]

Are you playing them from USB HDD connected to the LG or through network server?

Via my network (5ghz wifi and router in the same room as my TV) with plex composite addon to access my library. TV audio is set to ''passthrough'' with ARC.
I noticed that if you change subtitles tracks during playback it can cause sync issues. In that case, I just stop the movie and resume it.

Using plex ''skip intro'' function also work fine and doesn't cause issues.

My network is wired, 1Gbps. Everything plays fine on any other device. I got a USB LAN connection to the C2, hitting almost 400Mbps download and upload. So plenty of speed. Playing the same file through the native Plex app, so without DV, plays flawlessly.

Changing subtitles only affects Kodi playback, also, skipping on Kodi causes the movie to start stuttering every 5 seconds. Playing through Plex Kodi add-on, subs and skipping do not affect playback. It's very weird. I hate this Kodi with a passion, don't understand how people are happy with it as everything is counter-intuitive. I accidentally removed the Movies tile from the Home page, God knows how I can get it back. Removing sources from the library doesn't also remove the titles that were in that removed source and many other issues.

Doing an MP4 conversion now using your scripts. Didn't knew it also does PGS conversion, that's cool. Curious if with MP4 I face the same issues.

Kodi audio setting is set to ''best match'' ??

In your opinion which gives the best quality nearest the creator's intent on X800m2, via Serviio in ts containers, between STDL and DTDL?

Yes, tried with the other options as well, same thing. Curious about the bit-rate of the movies you have watched and played fine, as Hugo for example reaches even 130Mbps peaks. Maybe this is what causes Kodi to stumble, at least this LG version.

they are both the same quality but as you know, some ST-DL won't work so it's more practical to use DT-DL.

Is there any difference between TS and M2TS?

[RESET_9999]

not in quality or support

I just remember something. You cant have both plex and kodi launched at the same time, it causes stuttering. (at least when using the composite addon). Maybe you had the plex app running ??

Sadly no, I always close one or the other or any other app.

I tried playing with some more converting from MKV into MP4 and TS and it seems these two scripts have issues with file drop, they do not pick up the file path, I had to enter it manually for both. MKV script seems to work fine. Also, the MP4 converting flow processed the audio and subs two times, although I only had one of each.

No issue on my end and there is no difference between the mp4/ts or mkv version, its all the same script. I know drag and drop doesn't work on Windows 11 if you launch the script in admin rights.
I wouldn't use the auto ocr sup to srt though.

Oh, so no admin rights, got it. I do that by habit sometimes Yeah, the OCR is not perfect, but better than nothing and having to mux the files again only to remove the PGS tracks. Can I change the scripts to not even process the PGS at all, to discard them?
