Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

if it goes over 4000nits, there's nothing you can do about it, it will clip.

Thanks, so from your experience, would it look better to watch it in DV with clipping or in just HDR10 without DV?

I don't know, it depends on your TV's handling of the static HDR10 metadata. On my C2, content over 1000nits with a 1000nits HDR10 MDL is also clipped.
Just get a Ugoos instead, it's 10 times better than the x700.

[powdeau]

Do you please have a clipping test in profile 7? Because when I tried your clipping pattern in profile 5, there was no clipping on x700.

[RESET_9999]

all the test files are here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/fold ... JWcWoliuQ4

[powdeau]

Sorry for the wrong information, I have tested only the 1000 MDL file, which doesn't clip in any profile. The 2000 and 4000 do clip.
But it is still weird that the 1000nits MDL doesn't clip.

[RESET_9999]

you tested the wrong files or confused the filename.

white clipping 1000nits MDL (clipped at 1000nits): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qQPnuB ... drive_link
white clipping 4000nits MDL (clipped at 4000nits): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zzcrqy ... drive_link
white clipping 10 000nits MDL (no clipping): https://drive.google.com/file/d/10OT1bg ... drive_link
real content (clipped): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QCxaJU ... drive_link

I have downloaded it again from these links and it is the same - no clipping with 1000nits MDL and neither with real content.
Maybe my TV (G4) completely ignores DV if the MDL is 1000 regardless the actual L1 values.

[RESET_9999]

This doesnt make much sense, the pattern is 10 000nits with 10 000nits L1 and the real content 3000nits with 3000 L1. Are you sure the files trigger DV? We're talking about the x700, right?
It wouldn't make much sense for your TV to clip 4000 MDL but not 1000 MDL. I have a 2 000nits TV much brighter than your G4 and it behaves exactly like the 800nits C2. L1 can only dim, it doesn't brighten the image like the trims can do.

[powdeau]

Yes I'm sure it triggers DV and yes, I play it on x700.

@RESET_9999

I just did cmv 4.0 transfer for A.Quiet.Place.Day.One.2024 and got this error. What is it?

[RESET_9999]

metafier doesnt allow some special characters in filename

[deadchip12]

metafier doesnt allow some special characters in filename

Do I need to rerun the whole thing with different file name?

i dont know

@RESET_9999 -- watching your great video on setting up the AM6B with CoreELEC, Step 7 stops after you sign into Plex in the Composite add-on.

Composite doesn't populate with the contents of my Plex libraries after signing in. If I go in to configure Composite > Kodi Library > "Select sections to include in library scans", I can see my libraries under the scan options, so it seems communication is working there, but I can't get the libraries to appear in the list in Composite to watch a video.

When I did get my libraries to appear for a time, and I tried to play a video, I'd get a "Playback failed" error that says "One or more items failed to play, Check the log for more information about this message."

Looking in kodi.log, it looks like the problem may be that all the URLs are using the Plex IP address instead of the domain name, and the TLS cert is failing verification.

When I go into Manage Servers > Server [Nearby] [SSL] > Connection Test Results, I pick the https://myplexdomainname.plex.direct:12345 URL instead of the IP address option at the top, but it doesn't actually change Composite to use that URL, kodi.log shows it still tries to use the IP address. When I turn Certificate Verification off, it also doesn't help or change anything.

When I used Clear Caches, it removed all my Plex libraries from the list, and now I can't get them back again.

Have you run into this, or do you know any troubleshooting steps? I'm having trouble finding info and don't have any other problems with secure connections to my server via Infuse or Plex apps.

[RESET_9999]

I have no idea and I never had this problem. You could try other PLEX addon or configure an SMB share.
