Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
After make some test I've found two things:
1º It only works with the untouched but decrypted UHD disc, I've several backups in different formats, one of them is a reconstructed custom UHD, only with the essential for the movie, and also some MKVs that I made where I kept the dolby vision track hoping someday I could use it somehove. Only the first case works, so something must be lost in the way.
2º There is something wrong with the color, after test with Doctor Sleep is clear that the image prone to red in some details, it's easy to see in the cheeks of the girl on the first scene. That doesn't happens with just the normal HDR neither with CloneDB mp4 approach.
I'm talking about a .TS backup of course, I didn't follow the entire thread but I heard something about 10 vs 12bit on the Dolby EL, and maybe the problem with colors is all about it. In another hand, and again I didn't follow the full story, I've no idea how yusesope code works, what are he doing exactly with both tracks, anyway it's a huge progress on the matter.
Looking forward to any further improvement.
Regards.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
I use yusesope tool (latest version including the revised file versions) to create (BL + RPU) files for my Fire Stick TV 4K for several movies (john wick parabellum, Mary Queen of Scots , Rocketman and others). None of them plays video in the firestick tv 4k trough Plex app (beta) or Emby app. I get only audio and black screen on all of them. I also tried the (BL + EL+ RPU) conversion at no avail. Strangerly the files Joker_BL_EL_RPU.mkv and Joker_BL_RPU.mkv posted by @Mike admin and converted to .ts, trigger Dolby Vision.
Some of single layer DV created by Dvdfab (Aquaman, Creed 2, Justice League, Ready Player One, 2001 A Space Odissey) also plays correctly and trigger Dolby Vision.
I tried also the .mp4 files (using dolby official tool) created using the files made by yusesope tool, and get same no go results.
Someone else who owns the firestick tv 4K got the same problems?
Or I need a Shiekd Pro 2019?

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
I just wanted to take a moment and thank everybody for their hard work. I'm super excited about the prospect of getting DV in an MKV container! :) Keep it up, everyone. This is awesome.
Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
The EL layer is empty. There are two possibilities: the original file is corrupt or you are wrong to demux the original file.
Thanks for the feedback

- Download ffmpeg (HERE, blue button) and unzip the archive.
- Enter inside the newly unpacked folder and then inside the "bin" folder.
- Open a command prompt window in the "bin" folder (HOW_TO_OPEN_A_COMMAND_PROMPT_IN_A_FOLDER) and type the following command (change the parts in red)
ffmpeg -i bluray:\path\to\bluray_disc -map 0:0 -c copy \path\to\BL.hevc -map 0:1 -c copy \path\to\EL.hevc
- Use my tool, following the instructions in THIS post, to process the two files just obtained
- Use tsMuxeR to mux the file obtained through my tool and the audio track (present in the original file).
The tsMuxeR version you need can be found in THIS post.
At the moment it is impossible
Strange. When I retrieve the film in question, I'll take a look at it.PapitaHD wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 9:08 amUnfortunately The Meg doesn't work: yusesope's tool creates the BL+EL+RPU.hevc file successfully (all counters are 100%) but neither Dolby's mp4muxer nor TSmuxer can mux it for some reason. mp4muxer creates a 0.0 byte file after a few seconds, and Tsmuxer gets stuck at 95% with an error
EDIT:
The user shawnc22 (whom I thank) did not find your same problem (read the next post). Apparently your original file is corrupt.
Did you set the "-mode" switch to the value 2? Isn't it?
Grencola used MX Player.

MX Player was the only app that worked. This is actually the first file that has ever worked, other than Dolby's test samples. Usually just a DV flag with a black screen.yusesope wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 5:47 pm

No dice on the fire stick, just a green screen with the dv flag active. then flickers and reverts back to hdr10 which looks ok.RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 07, 2020 11:42 pmSL BL+EL+RPU atmos sample: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n95g_b ... sp=sharing ----->atmos + DV works on shield/plex

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Just tried the Meg and mine processed just fine at the end with TSMuxer. I do all my initial demuxing with the same version of TSMuxer that's used for remuxing.PapitaHD wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 9:08 amCreed II worked like a charm, even after converting it to .TS, it triggers DolbyVision on my LG C8.

I used eac3to for demuxing hevc and audio streams and I used yusesope's latest test/temp build of his tool which he posted yesterday.
Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
I released version 0.0.3 (read the CHANGELOG for more information).
You can find it HERE in the original post.

Yes I did.
I also try MXplayer but no go.
Testing now yr latest build .003 with - mode 2
Movie is Mary Queen of Scots
Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Thanks for the feedback.
Playback device?
BL + EL + RPU or BL + RPU?
.ts or .mp4?
Make sure you are using the original bluray disc and not some files that have been remuxed in the past

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
So I did from the original UHD disc. Plex triggers dolby vision but the tv screen is black. Audio is ok.
MXplayer triggers Hdr.

Definitely some color issues going on.
Not sure if it's the files or the shield or a combination of both.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
The red does seem a bit noticeable in that scene, but I wonder if it might just be the different dolby vision settings that're activated when the TV is in that mode? It'd be nice if someone can test the actual disk in a UHD player with DV to see what the gold standard should be.Angryunibrow wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 11:14 pmVerified the red splotches on the little girls face at 2:35 in Doctor Sleep as well that doesn't appear in the regular HDR versionsiriusbox wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 2:55 pmAfter make some test I've found two things:

Another issue I might've just encountered is with a Quiet Place. I'm not sure if it's just my remuxed version, but at around the 1hr13min mark(could've happened earlier but most noticeable there with all the action), my sound became desynced. My normal HDR mkv doesn't have this issue and restarting the movie at that point doesn't fix it either. Probably a tsmuxer issue though, but just wondering if anyone else might have the same issue with their dv/atmos ts remux.
edit: Odd thing just happened while I was trying to redo the Quiet Place TS with v0.0.3 of yusesope's tool. When all the counters reached 100%, the tool just seem to be hanging without showing the press button to exit message. It's been like this for almost 30 minutes now with no change. I do remember vaguely this happening with the temp version of the tool and the same title, but that lasted maybe no longer than 5 minutes before the message showed up to exit; never this long.
Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
I redownloaded the UHD folder and this time it worked so it seems that it really was just a file corruption issue. Strange beacause I used DVDFab and/or CloneBD for all my BD-iso remuxes. What is a good way to check if the remuxed BD is all right? Is scanning with DVDFab's BDinfo good enough?Angryunibrow wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 9:04 pmMEG worked just fine, I just tested it.PapitaHD wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 9:08 amCreed II worked like a charm, even after converting it to .TS, it triggers DolbyVision on my LG C8.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
There was a comparison of Stranger things DV on Netflix Shield vs from a different device and that had colour issues, so I suspect it's the Shield's processing rater than the tool causing the redshawnc22 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 11:53 pmThe red does seem a bit noticeable in that scene, but I wonder if it might just be the different dolby vision settings that're activated when the TV is in that mode?

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
I only have tested it on my Shield 2019 TV Pro, I've a LG C7 but not sure if its Plex app supports TS, since Plex on LG TVs relys on WebOS player, so probably not, I will try later.
