Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Did someone managed to play DV rips through network?
Did someone managed to rip DV with Atmos?

Yes, I can play Dolby Vision files from my laptop on my TCL Home Theatre TV in DV fine. No Plex or anything, just the Windows media streaming.

Atmos, I am not sure, I know lossless audio is possible via TSMuxer or MP4Box.

It works currently only on MX Player Pro with HW codec, so playing through network is also not possible. Hdd has to be attached to the TV

Have you tried the latest MX Player beta? they've added network server support:

hey so for all us firestick 4k peeps stuck using mx player with our dv movies, they just added SMB SUPPORT to their new beta. see here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/mx-media- ... 2-release/
I've only tried it on my phone so far but it works great! this is huge considering the firestick doesn't natively support usb hdd's and its internal storage is far too small for any full movie.

Thanks man, I tried 1.21.2 beta, but honestly can't see any difference between 1.20.7 pro. Still plays only with HW. not HW+ decoder, and HW codecs' buffering isn't good at all over network. Do you know by chance, weher I can access the SMB server within MX Player?

PowerDVD 20 is out and no DV, so we can say we never have DV in PC

I don't understand who can buy that expensive software which version after version is always the same and only works in Intel...

@Grencola what happens with your minix device? I told you, they lie and only want to sell

the beta you tried must be different than the official Playstore one on mobile, as there's a new menu item called 'Local Network' that let's you type the IP of a network server.

I know right?! that's pretty brutal. I had a feeling they'd tergiversate upon launch, seemed like a marketing gimmick. I still haven't heard from users testing it though, so there's still a small chance it can play (at least prof 5) dv files.

The 1.21.2 beta was the suggested version from the provided link with SMB in the changelog!
However, I tried 2.8.0 directly from Playstore and there's also no such thing as 'Local Network', there's only a bunch of useless added crap

I've also tried on different devices...

FYI, the request for support of Dolby Vision in MKVToolNix has been accepted by Moritz Bunkus:
https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/-/issues/2784

Can you explain a bit more what this means, jcdr428. For example, if I use MKVTOOLNIX today I can select the UHD playlist with the Dolby Vision track and generate an MKV with the Dolby Vision layer. Is there something currently not working with this process in MKVTOLNIX or is this request for something else?

I was thinking about the stuttering issues people were having with Gemini Man and whether the combination of high frame rate and high bitrate is the cause, so here are some 30 sec sample files (video only, no audio) to see if the stutter issues changes at all. I have re-encoded the base layer to lower the overall bitrate but none of my equipment supports Dolby Vision, so I am unable to test them myself. Anyway, here are the test files.

Feel free to give them a go and report back.

Didn’t think you could re-encode the base layer as it either loses the DV descriptors or doesn’t Mux back in correctly, is this not the case?

I don't know for sure as I my TV doesn't support DV. The re-encoded BL worked ok in yusesope's tool, so I assume it has everything it needed. That's why it I uploaded the files for testing.

Hi everyone

I recently tried to rip few UHD BD with DVDFAB to mp4 dual layer DV with lossy audio and they playback fine on my LG E9 Plex app.
I'm willing to buy a Sony AG9 and i'm askimg if anybody with a Sony Android TV tried to playback these kind of file with Sony Tv Plex App or i need to re-rip movies in Single Layer DV Mp4 using DvdFab?

Wait for feedbacks

Thanks
