Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

[cipher]

Goddamn this is AWESOME! Made an unprotected ISO of Joker (you'll see why in a sec). Created the MKV with MakeMKV. Opened TSMuxer and dropped the MKV onto it. Opened the mounted ISO's 800.mpls and added the audio track. Spit out a TS file, dropped it on my NAS. Plex picked it up and is now playing in Dolby Vision with ATMOS. Super brilliant and thanks to all who have been fighting this good fight!!

SamuriHL, I've never used tsMuxer before today, but can't you select that 800.mpls file from the backup folder instead of the mounted ISO? Doing so would save an extra step.

Also, is this step necessary because tsMuxer can't read an Atmos track from an MKV, but it can read it once you've added an MPLS playlist?

Mike, we need 1.15.2 please. Couldn't MakeMKV create the proper track when doing the MKV for ATMOS? Then it could just be added to TSMuxer and remuxed as is to a TS file. Right?

It does! It is a tsmuxer limitation

There's no direct way to go from original disk to unprotected iso, right? You'd have to make the decrypted full folder backup with makemkv and then iso it with imgburn? But have a fun remuxing your whole collection! it's all I've been doing the last month since the original method was settled upon . I'm just glad I kept all the decrypted folder backups of DV films from the very beginning.

Well...I can because I own more than one ripping tool. Lol otherwise you could probably just make the folder rip and drag the mpls from the folder into tsmuxer. That's probably what you're doing i imagine.

Guess I'm still stuck choosing between DV or Lossless.

Or picking up a 2019 Shield and getting both!

As brain would say from pinky and the brain....yesssssssss! Lol

Correct on both counts.

Oh goddammit. LOL! But that means tsmuxer could be fixed to be able to do so... right? So there's hope!

you make it sound so easy I've been waiting 6+ weeks and there are still none available, in Canada at least, unless you want to spend 400+ on eBay..

Correct. If anyone knows the good and reliable way to contact tsmuxer developer, please let me know - I'll gladly provide all the help I can.

That would require them being in stock somewhere...

That's his git repo but I don't know if that helps at all.

@jcdr428 was pretty active in the old thread. hopefully he’s still around and checking this thread now. Otherwise the thread over at doom9 can also be a good place for suggestions:

They are already working on it:

Correct me if I'm mistaken here, but, that's not the same thing. MakeMKV already puts the THD/ac3 interleaved audio track in the MKV, tsmuxer just doesn't recognize it in the MKV container. So ideally, they'd fix the ability for tsmuxer to use the track already within the MKV container and we'd be good to go.

Just gave ffmpeg a try to do a straight mkv -> ts container conversion (ffmpeg -i movie.mkv -c copy movie.ts) and the atmos audio track was preserved just fine without the ac3 core:

Play testing on the Shield also triggered atmos just fine. As previous testing from the other thread has shown, though, the video track is still just in HDR10. I'm guessing ffmpeg does not copy over the dolby vision descriptors properly (or at all) when doing the conversion.

[SamuriHL]

Wait that's a good idea though. What about the following workflow:

1) Create MKV from disc with MakeMKV
2) Extract the ATMOS track from resulting MKV with ffmpeg
3) Add MKV to TSMuxer
4) Add extracted ATMOS track from ffmpeg
5) Mux
6) Profit?!
