Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
Guys, can't we just take the .m2ts file from STREAM folder and do all with tsmusxer? If so, which version I should use?
Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
Okay, I'm getting precisely nowhere with this at the moment. Can someone give me a step-by-step guide? I'm starting from an unencrypted folder back-up of the disc. What's the simplest route?
I'm using the version of TSMuxer recommended earlier in the thread, but when I load the MKV into it, it can't see the secondary video track. If I mux using video tracks and audio from the original playlist then I get DV output but it plays for about one frame and then locks up. (I'm using an Oppo 203 for playback).

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
Thanks for the steps. What DV profile do you get when you did these steps using MKV? Another question, why TSMuxer need MKV step? I thought DV and Atmos was possible without involving MakeMKVSamuriHL wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 9:54 pmFor those that are looking to make this work in the easiest way possible:
1) Rip to MKV with MakeMKV
2) eac3to titlename.mkv 2: titlename.thd+ac3
Note: titlename should be replaced with the actual name of the MKV
3) Add the MKV and the thd+ac3 track to TSMuxer
4) Remux to TS
I've done this to a few of them. Currently watching Ready Player One on my SHIELD Pro 2019 in Plex as we speak. This is fantastic.
Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
I also don't understand why we need to involve the MakeMKV if we are not going to use the MKV container as a final file. I thought TSMuxer could do all of the above ( DV + HD Audio with Atmos/DTS:X )darrrkmanxxx wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 8:11 amGuys, can't we just take the .m2ts file from STREAM folder and do all with tsmusxer?

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
How do you using Plex and which version? Do you have to set up the server and the whole thing or can it just be used as a standalone player? To playback direct from attache to tv hdd?rosavanwinkle wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 8:35 amshawnc22 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 29, 2020 11:42 pmLike I said in the other thread, the issue is with your set up.

Got it, so you can't use plex as a standalone right? MX Player Pro plays single layer DV mp4 file very well from HDD, but only with HW codec, not HW+
and with mp4 you can't get atmos, unfortunately
Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
that is not completly correct. You cannot save TrueHD (with atmos) in an mp4. A DD+/EAC3 with Atmos also works with an mp4. But this happens very rarely.
Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
MakeMKV is used so that the tsMuxer recognizes the video. An MP4 is not recognized by the tsMuxer. Since it is now recognized, you can insert a TrueHD and then save it as .ts, .m2ts or disc folder. TrueHD was the only limitation with an mp4. DTS-HD, DTS, AC3, EAC3+Atmos and AAC also worked before. (in my case with the shield 2019 pro)

Please try to go back and read the first few pages of this thread. Going straight from the unecrypted m2ts file in tsmuxer will leave you with a ts file that still has the BL and EL+RPU layer in separate video tracks. This file can only be played on the x700 (and maybe oppo) to obtain dolby vision. Playing this file anywhere else (if it plays at all) will get you only HDR10. To get DV on other devices such as the Shield, the video tracks must combined first either using yusecope’s tool or the latest version of makemkv (the whole point of creating this thread). In a future version of tsmuxer, you may be able to skip this intermediate step as @jcdr is currently working on an implementation of the dual track to single track conversion into tsmuxer itself.
Pretty much just do exactly what you’re currently doing, except add in a step for extracting the audio and converting it to a format that your system is capable of handling. Try reading the first few pages of the other thread; it’s what people had to do previously with the mp4 method because of limitations in the mp4 container in handling truehd atmos tracks.rosavanwinkle wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 8:35 amfor now i think i'm just going to try focus on just getting the dolby vision part of the atmos doesnt work,you got a guide for that too aka ac3?
Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
I have quite a few DV MKVs ripped with previous version of Makemkv into dualPID /separate tracks. Would there be a tool to re-merge the two into the single PID approach 1.15.1 now has?
Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
Okay, this still isn't working for me.
I start with an unencrypted folder backup.
I rip the movie using MakeMKV version 1.15.1, including video, TrueHD track and associated core AC3 track, and English subtitles, but don't include other audio tracks (e.g. other languages and commentary tracks) or other subtitle tracks.
I extract the audio from the MKV file using eac3to version 3.34.0.0.
I combine video and subtitles from the MKV with the audio from the eac3to output into a TS file using TsMuxer version git-111f852a (according to the GUI).
The result will not play on my Oppo 203. Usually it buffers indefinitely; sometimes it appears to play, but with a black screen - the Oppo then identifies the video stream as Dolby Vision but says the bit-rate is 44kbps. (I'm guessing it should be measured in Megabits!)
Can anyone definitely confirm that a TS file produced in this way does play on an Oppo 203? If so, where am I going wrong? If not, is there an alternative approach that will produce something the Oppo can handle? (I'm aware that I can keep the entire disk folder image, copy it into a folder called AVCHD, and then use BDMV Modifier to make the Oppo treat it as if it were a local disc; but I'd prefer some way to extract just the movie file and lose all the extras and menus).

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
you could try adding the mkv to tsmuxer and create a bdmv folder as output, then use that in makemkv to get a combined mkv, then add it to tsmuxer once more and make a ts file. no idea if that works though. doubtful, as it would be similar to just demuxing the two video tracks and using yusesope's tool to combine them before making a ts file, which has been tested and doesn't really work well. (the odd mel movie was ok I think)
