Update using on shield media server + player also makes my plex crash when i try playing the movie with truehd atmos,(maybe because i'm not a beta user?)
so for now dolby vision + ac3 5.1 it seems...
or i'm still messing somewhere up... xD


PS: maybe we should get a discord server or something to talk about this. might be handy ?

Mp4 Mediainfo: HDR format Dolby Vision version 1.0 dvhe 04.00, EL+RPU / SMPTE ST 2094 App 4, version 1, HDR10+ Profile B compatible

On firestick 4K
Plex: TV triggers Dolby Vision but black screen
Emby: plays HDR10+ correctly
MXPlayer: Just black screen
MX Player on the Fire Stick 4K plays BL+RPU great for me, with both lpcm 7.1 and eac3 dd+ atmos. I used dv profile 8 though, not 4, so I think that's your issue. just tried a sample with profile 4 and I too got just a black screen. Also I haven't tried it on a movie with both dv and hdr10+, so could be that too.

Using dolby mp4muxer to create mp4 (profile 4) without audio.
I told you profile 5 (follow Grencola's suggestion and try also profile 8 and a movie without HDR10+)

Dolby's mp4muxer stopped working for me after update with v1.0.1.

I use ffmpeg to extract BL, EL, Audio(mostly DTS) from my *.mkv-remuxes.
with dolby's mp4muxer create a no sound DV video using profile 7.
then with GPAC's mp4box add audio.

Before in the bin folder, there was mp4muxer_64bits.exe, which I was using. It was working perfectly.
Now there is only mp4muxer.exe.
I checked their git, commits are rather recent.

Am I the only one having problems?

How you make EL+RPU?
Which version of MXplayer do you use?

Yes it works in plex and also in emby.
But all joker samples posted in this thread work.
Full movies made following the instructions BL+RPU etc do not work either in plex or emby as said in my previous posts.
If you have a full movie working, apart Joker, pls tell me and I will try to replicate.

Anyone tried 1917 ?

I'm testing @yusesope newest version of the tool but playback stops at exactly 1min16 on the shield (tried 3 times). BL+EL+RPU+Atmos
Fast forward also stop playback with the same error.

as usual , Dual layer TS + Atmos works like a charm on the x700. that movie looks amazing in DV btw.

What is it about a demuxed mkv rip that this tool doesn't like? Do you think it might be possible in the future?

Two questions remain from my side:
1. What's the difference between mode 1 and 2? mode 1 seems to be the default and will produce a slightly larger file.
However both mode 1 and 2 will trigger Dolby Vision on my TV and I cannot see the difference.
Find more info HERE.
In summary, "-mode 1" creates a Single Track Double Layer file (1:1 copy of a UHD).
"-mode 2" instead generates a Single Track Single Layer file (such as DVDFab).
Not all people own devices that can play files with dvhe.04 or dvhe.07 profile (-mode 1), so I have given the possibility to create files of type dvhe.05 (-mode 2).
The fact that you see no difference is a bit like someone who cannot distinguish a 320 kbps 16bit/44.1kHz MP3 from a 1200 kbps 24bit/192kHz FLAC: it depends on your equipment and subjective sensitivity.
Thank you my friend for explaining.

EDIT:
I've also added a second Dolby Digital Plus (eac3) 5.1 track now.
why not add another lossless track like DTS-HD MA?
Will try this as soon as possible and report back :)

2. I don't like the fact that I have to use eac3to to convert the truehd atmos audio to a compatible "thd+ac3" format for TSMuxer, because I have to run it with wine.
Can I achieve the same with ffmpeg instead? (e.g. convert the truehd atmos track to something TSMuxer will accept)
I don't use tsMuxeR yet but I would try something like this:
instead of demuxing the audio track with ffmpeg and then re-editing it with eac3to, why don't you import the original disc and my HEVC file into tsMuxeR and then just check my raw stream and the TrueHD/ATMOS track (from the disc)?

For all the remuxes I've done, I never actually extracted the atmos extract from the original disk. If you open the original decrypted m2ts/mpls file in tsmuxer, you'll notice that the atmos track is already in ac3+thd format. I simply unchecked every other track except for the atmos track, add in the merged hevc video track from yusecope's tool, and mux. Only issue I've had so far is with audio desyncing a bit 2/3 of the way into A Quiet Place. Not sure if this issue is with tsmuxer or yusecope's tool, but more tests will be needed
Thanks yusesope and shawnc22, this works as well!
Didn't know TSMuxeR could also open bluray discs.. this will make life a lot easier as I can kick out the windows-only closed source eac3to now :D
Now I also do not have to save the atmos.mp4 truehd track any longer with ffmpeg, just the BL.hevc and EL.hevc:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i bluray:/path/to/my/bluray -map 0:0 -c copy ./BL.hevc -map 0:1 -c copy ./EL.hevc
Still no luck trying to play the TrueHD track using Emby on my LG C8 yet, even when I switch to the builtin speakers (instead of ARC) Emby will still instruct the server to transcode the truehd audio to AC3 :(
Perhaps there's something wrong with Emby itself.
I'll try to copy the file to a USB disk and see what happens when using the internal player instead.

But on the bright side, now that I can use TSMuxeR, I can successfully embed dolby digital plus (eac3) (limited to 5.1 though) which is still an improvement over regular ac3.

I hope to see some success stories with DV + Atmos on the Shield using Emby/Plex, since I'm planning on getting one soon (as regular ARC cannot do hd-audio to my amp).

I thought LG C8 cannot play lossless audio.
Imho the "Atmos" selection you see when you use TV speakers is just a gimmick and will be enabled only for DD+/Atmos.

Have you been able to play any lossless audio with WebOS internal player?

Also would be my question, since Dolby's mp4muxer works perfectly (well at least mp4muxer_64bit.exe works) with extracted bl, el tracks from mkv-files. Watched couple of DV movies on LG Oled that way.

For Dolby Vision + Atmos:

Here's my success story for Gemini Man 2019 which is a 60fps movie which plays much more fluent.

- tsmuxer modified for DV by a5180007/justdan96
I tried that in Win10 with a A Star is Born mkv-remux.
for some reason tsMuxerGui says there is no buffer left, and there is no place to select size of a buffer (all partitions have 150+GB of free space). Partial ts-file created played only in HDR on LG C8, even when I added just AC-3 audio.
Already made a DV of this film with mp4muxer, but wanted to try to have atmos for future.
Is there a special tsMuxer release with a5180007 modifictations?
