You could try:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -f concat -i "filelist.txt" -c copy -strict -2 test.mp4
filelist.txt:

Code: Select all

file 1.mp4
file 2.mp4
I won't guarantee it will work though.

Your command is redundant btw. To include all tracks and keep DV just use:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i dv.mkv -map 0 -c copy -c:s mov_text -strict -2 dv.mp4

Backward compatibility for Dolby RGB tunneling is really a mess.

AFIAK, 2016-2017 TVs only support profile 5 and 7 so for an mkv remux , you want to convert it to dual-track dual-layer MP4. You can do that with my script workflow 4-3.
I think the C6 internal player also have green screen issues with certain files, P3 MDL IIRC. It was discussed in this thread years ago.

If you just want to make DT-DL MP4, the installation is very easy... Create a folder without space or special characters and put it on a non-OS drive preferably.
Download the tools pack and MP4 bat file and put them in the folder you just created. Run the bat file, select 4-3, drag and drop input and that's it

Good evening everyone.
I'm going crazy trying to limit the brightness of the subtitles, as my x800m2 can't handle them well. (Any video app on my TV doesn't have this problem)

I'm trying to use the script but I'm getting this error.

What I did:
- Source file: mkv
- Mux in ts with tsmuxer which turns srt into pgs
- Demux the pgs file (either with tsmuxer or with subtilteEdit)
- DoviScript 8-7

Can someone help me?

Yeah, the speed depends on your HDD/SSD. Regular HDD can be very slow.

I use two NVME pci-e gen4 drives and it takes less than 15 minutes.

How is the 1080p to 4K upcaling on the Ugoos? Seems that the only reason I would keep my ub9000 would be to play 1080p Blu-rays with panasonic's upscaling, but if the ugoos is comparable, I think I'll ditch my player.

I don't know. I think dmdreview tested upscaling but I'm not sure.. Ask him: https://www.avsforum.com/threads/pictur ... t-63232842

By default Coreelec plays 1080p files in 1080p resolution, so the upscaling is handled by the tv.

I think it only does bilinear upscaling otherwise, but I haven't checked.
