Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Strange, but sounds like a source issue. Do you have a sample we can try? I never had a rip that wouldn't play on mine.

I would have written it off as a single source issue too, if it hadn't happened twice in a short time (if it is the same issue with both movies that is). I sent you a PM.

It may not be all the Kscape titles that have color issues. I just tried another one(Poor Things) and while there is some slight difference on some frames, nothing as bad as Mad Max, Last of Us and Accoutant:

ps: This is a massive comparison: 1080pBD vs KALEIDESCAPE vs Movies Anywhere vs Disney+ vs Amazon vs iTunes. 36 frames, pics are in HDR and can be viewed in HDR on Chrome/Edge.

Are you all mainly looking for the ease of access to the titles? Using these planned obsolescence devices is not a wise decision, but I understand if the concern is mainly the ease of access to the titles, not the device or file properties.

I feel like someone needs to keep reiterating to newer people that if you don't need Dolby Vision Profile 7 at UHD bitrates, you can use basically any streaming device. Since most people are fine with Profile 8 at half UHD bitrates (~50GB files), a used ~20usd Amazon 4K Firestick will work fine with Kodi or NOVA Video Player (but you do need a WiFi 5+ router).

Well first night with the Kscape was not very good... Tried two streams: The Accountant and Last of Us S02.

Accountant:
horrible Raised black in both HDR10/DV
DV to HDR10 conversion is incorrect
1080p SDR stream different master/framing and actually better than 4K!
https://slow.pics/c/YShhgXTe

Last of us:
Doesnt look right at all, brighter than MAX webdl...
https://slow.pics/c/U1B6JARQ

the only format that seems right is SDR:
https://slow.pics/c/pZkJmdrO

OK, tested a new movie on KSCAPE, and it's the same crap. Blacks are not raised like in The Accountant, but the colors are desaturated and the brightness is not right. DV TV-LED is even worse. Compression is also slightly worse despite the much higher bitrate on KSCAPE. Definitely a terrible streaming service or device, at least for HDR10/DV, because SDR is fine.

MAD MAX DSLR Camera settings locked:
KS DV vs KS HDR10 vs Ugoos HDR10 vs G5 internal player HDR10 vs Ugoos DV

Last of Us S02E01
And I've measured the whole Last of Us S02E01 episode. The KS stream(DV and HDR10) is 3 times brighter:
madvr plot(KS HDR10 vs MAX HDR10 vs MAX DV): https://slow.pics/c/OrY8Z2dl
DSLR camera (KS HDR10 vs MAX HDR10): https://slow.pics/c/pZEYwEHS

KScape HDR10 metadata are identical to the MAX web-dl:

The only format that seems right is SDR:

EDIT: It may not be all the titles that are affected. I tested a few more and these were ok:

Very interesting, thank you for this.

This also explains why I thought TLoU was so darn dark, Andor, too. It's not me or my TV, then. It's the silly dark HDR (C2, P5, internal player).

If you're talking about the Kscape I think the idea is to get access to content at the highest quality possible. Unfortunately it seems that device/service does not live up to the marketing hype.

Hi RESET_9999 ,

After generating DV with cm_analyze, is it better to inject the entire new RPU or transfer all its levels to the original RPU?

You mentioned earlier that it’s possible to generate DV for P7 FEL (after prior baking).
What about P5 — is there also a way to generate DV for such movies?

Thanks!

[RESET_9999]

If it's mel, I just inject the new RPU/XML (P8)

P5: I don't know, I never tested.

Depends on the content, it seems. Maybe KSCAPE gets bad sources for some files, we don't know.

once you get the webOS 2025 update, PLEX and the G4 native player should support DV MKV too.
In fact, all the TVs that are eligible for webOS 2025 should get DV MKV support.

RESET_9999, do you have more details about the webOS 2025 update? Will it enable profile 7 FEL playback via the Jellyfin or Kodi apps on my G4, meaning that I won't need to use my Ugoos AM6B+ with CoreELEC anymore? I like the Ugoos box, but having this done natively on the TV would be even better!

I tried searching for this, but your post is the only relevant result.

This would be great. I can return my ugoos if this is proven and cited.
Currently it's only playing hdr at this point in the initial set up. I'm concerned about the section highlighted in the attached image as this is where I've stopped in the video setup RESET_9999 made.

Forums are getting updated it seems like, as connection to forums is intermittent and interface look has changed.

This update will allow only P8 and P5 in an MKV container. P7 support on LG TVs was removed in 2020, and the Ugoos will be the best and only P7 player forever.

And I wouldn't use the TVs internal player for DV playback: https://slow.pics/c/IBNzcYOA

[bluray4k]

Ok, that's what I figured, I don't know if the newer LG TVs even have the decoding hardware required for profile 7. Thanks for clarifying.

What's the name of the colorspace test file?
I'm sorry but I can't find it.
Im thinking about getting the ugoos.
Is the am6 still the go to model, or can I get the newer one like am8 pro or am9?
Also my TV has only HDMI2.0b, will the player-led stuff be supported?

yes am6b+ is the way to go. newer models don't support FEL.
and yes of course, player led is supported.
