Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

possible...
it may not be the same issues I have with all my 10gbps or 2.5 switches/routers but the Ethernet port on mine sure behaves weirdly too.

@RESET_9999
I'm using the Ugoos witn the LG G5 OLED screen.
I have CoreELEC setup according to the YouTube video in your Excel sheet.

So when I go to: System Settings -> CoreELEC.

- Disable noise reduction: Should this be checked?
- Tone map SDR to HDR: unchecked
- Tone map HDR to SDR: unchecked

Dolby Vision:
- Mode: On demand
- Type: Display Led (DV-Std)
- Dolby VSVDB: Unchecked
- Colorimetry: disable/remove
- Source levels metadata: Checked
- Level 5: Source
- Level 6: Discard
- Restrict overlays: Unchecked
- Preferred HDR for dual DV and HDR10+ content: DV
- Dynamic HDR10+ to DV profile 8.1 conversion: Checked
- Prefer conversion over original DV: Unchecked
- Peak Brightness Source: histogram-plus
- For SDR8: off
- For SDR10: off
- For HDR10: off
- For HDR10+ (HDR10 data only): greyed out
- For HLG HDR: off
- For Dolby Vision: off
- Convert profile 7: off

I believe you have the same LG G5 television, are the above settings correct for profile 7 FEL playback?

[RESET_9999]

yes disable noise reduction. The rest looks good.
You can also force DV for HDR10 to avoid the posterization and banding problems on LG TVs.

Awesome!
Yes I did some testing and it matches the example videos

Only issues I've had so far:
- it seems the receiver turns off after a long period of time, by then it disappears from hdmi cec and I have to use its original remote to turn it back on.
I have turned off all options that make the box go into standby in the cec settings. Also there are no timeouts configured in the energy settings. Perhaps there is a hidden turn off somewhere. I'm not sure. But I like it to always stay on so I can control it using hdmi cec.
- some subtitles (I think pgs) turn grey instead of white when viewed in Dolby Vision
- resuming bluray remuxes sometimes make it go out of sync

But thats about it. Nothing major.

I had this issue before CPM A13-12, but since A14, this has been fixed on my end.

Yeah I don't use the standby mode. I leave my ugoos on all day long and turn it off when I go to sleep.

I think the GUI brightness settings will affect the pgs brightness.

How do you force it? Using the g5 settings or ugoos settings? Is there any downside?

[RESET_9999]

In the Ugoos DV settings. I still prefer generating DV but overall it works very well, similar to real DV or madVR DTM. It doesn’t alter the image when the content is within the TV’s capabilities. No black crush has well. see: https://youtu.be/2N6uBDmSwec

Cool. I heard we could do the same for gaming by enabling Dolby Vision PC in the g5 settings.

Hi , just ordered a ugoos for FEL playback

Is it just as simple as ripping a 4k disc using makemkv ??? Or do i need to do anything else ? , also looking at the excel spread sheet it says FEL playback is suported from iso and folder **Unwanted Spam** so again is it just as simple as ripping it to folder format ??

Thanks

[RESET_9999]

Yes, the Ugoos supports every format, but the best and most stable one is MKV, of course.

Just tried that VS10 engine on a few SDR movies and I must say it really makes them shine.
For example the movie Elio (2025) in fullhd sdr really shines when enabling the VS10 to DV engine. The colors really pop from the screen.

I've also tried two FEL movies.
13 hours secret soldiers of benghazi: This one looks pretty nice.
Avatar 2: This one was a little underwhelming.

I have to try out more, but FEL DV being rendered into 12bits if I'm not mistaken isn't necessarily better then MEL.
It really depends on the mastering of the movie.

FEL in some movies adds nothing, but there are a few that expand the brightness much higher and TVs like the G5 benefit the most from it.
see my youtube video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnZVk1eNMZs

I made a sample of the ones that expand brightness. These don’t show the difference between FEL and HDR10, they show the difference between playing FEL on a device that can decode it and one that can’t.
