Have you tried build bb51a5f to see if that makes a difference since it looks like it's no longer being labeled as 07.05? If still the same result, could the issue be caused by the BL track in the TS file having the DV tag while the mp4 file does not?

[jcdr428]

I made the comment that tsmuxer was assigning profile 7.05, while mp4muxer was profile 7.06 - I do not know if that matters.

@Angryunibrow it should be 7.06... I'll fix it. However the level is only related to pixel rate, marking 7.05 does not make any difference if your SoC can play 7.06 pixel rates. The most obvious reason why the TS plays on Blu-ray players only is the HDMV (Blu-ray) descriptors. Standard ETSI descriptors might allow DV but would remove compatibility with PGS, ac3/eac3 and ac3/TrueHD.

That's right I remember you mentioning that.
Oh well, can't have it all I guess.

Have you tried build bb51a5f to see if that makes a difference since it looks like it's no longer being labeled as 07.05? If still the same result, could the issue be caused by the BL track in the TS file having the DV tag while the mp4 file does not?

So if I understand correctly we still didn't get single track video with full EL layer (profiel 04 or 06) to work on LG C# without stuttering?

Hi! Can anyone explain the correct steps for the Nvidia Shield 2019 whith lg C9?
Many thanks!

Many thanks!

And please tell the all steps i have a C9 and think to buy panasonic ub4500 with Atmos and Dolby Vision,to play with Vision because on my PC only HDR...and the C9 not playing losseles audio...

Correct, that is my understanding as well from the latest tests we have done.

[Maxoumax6]

Does the profil change the DV's "quality"?

[mrhollywood]

The NEO U22-XJ is now officially out. Anyone gonna pick one up and test it's DV functionality?

Patiently waiting to see what this supports also, but I'm not expecting anything above what we have now with the shield.
Although if this can produce accurate DV color as apposed to the shield that might be worth it.

Strange as my mode 1 "BL+EL+RPU" merge of Gemini Man (FEL HFR) did trigger DV and played smoothly on my C8 when I was using an older rev of TsMuxer.
See my post: https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 295#p86295

The older rev of TsMuxer was showing profile 08.09.
That makes me wonder whether the TV was actually processing the full enhancement layer or perhaps it was only using the metadata (due to the profile saying 08).

Who kbnows

Anyways I've recompiled TsMuxer with the last two changes of jcdr248's PR: https://github.com/justdan96/tsMuxer/pull/269
And I tried to create a dual track TS file of Gemini Man, but that only triggers HDR10 on my C8.

Still hoping to find a way to enjoy the full enhancement layer on the C8 while retaining the TrueHD audio (for storage/collection purposes only, I know the C8 wont play HD-audio due to the lack of e-ARC).

Still hoping to find a way to enjoy the full enhancement layer on the C8 while retaining the TrueHD audio (for storage/collection purposes only, I know the C8 wont play HD-audio due to the lack of e-ARC).

Not possible ATM - see response below.

I made the comment that tsmuxer was assigning profile 7.05, while mp4muxer was profile 7.06 - I do not know if that matters.

@Angryunibrow it should be 7.06... I'll fix it. However the level is only related to pixel rate, marking 7.05 does not make any difference if your SoC can play 7.06 pixel rates. The most obvious reason why the TS plays on Blu-ray players only is the HDMV (Blu-ray) descriptors. Standard ETSI descriptors might allow DV but would remove compatibility with PGS, ac3/eac3 and ac3/TrueHD.

The NEO U22-XJ is now officially out. Anyone gonna pick one up and test it's DV functionality?
http://shop.minix.us/neo-u22-xj

Patiently waiting to see what this supports also, but I'm not expecting anything above what we have now with the shield.
Although if this can produce accurate DV color as apposed to the shield that might be worth it.

The devs specified it supports dual layer, and it's not capable of playing HD from Netflix or any other streaming service so the only thing it can play is rips. I would assume if they're gonna pay for the license they'd implement it right. I'm gonna order one when I get my trumpbux so I'll test it and post results here.

Do you have a link to them saying that (not that I do not believe you) I would like to see what the exchange was when that was mentioned.

IF, and its a big IF this does support Profile 7, I would think we would need decrypted BDMV folder playback support. Then we do not have to worry about trying to mux these files into something that is not fully supported and losing ATMOS and everything else.

We will see I guess.

It was probably from this vague post here: https://theminixforum.com/index.php?thr ... post-17736

The question I have is whether this dolby license fee is an encompassing license that allows for decoding of all profiles and then it's up to the hardware to be capable of dealing with the individual profiles, or is the licence fee broken down by individual profile support. If it's the latter, the skeptic in me finds it hard to believe that any company would pay the profile 7 dolby license fee for a streaming-only device just to satisfy the niche situation we have here. Normal consumers are not going to encounter profile 7 outside of playing it from their physical uhd disks, hence why it's only mostly blu-ray players that have the capability to do so at the moment (LG C# TVs are certainly an exception).
