I use my m9702 daily, with that said, it is far from perfect. If KODI or Plex could ever play dolby vision bluray rips to my TV we;;, life will be much better. with that said, we are far from that day.

I have compiled a TsMuxer that forces dvhe.05.06 profile. It works nice where 08.06 played choppy in my Lg. You can find it here http://katfile.com/1uvd80v1b0zd/tsMuxer ... ).zip.html
Do you mean the internal LG player? Could you summarize the steps you follow? Thanks
The method which I currently use is mp4box and mp4muxer, since it can handle dts sound but it is taking soooo long.
Hi there, my method:
1 - Extract the two hvec files from UHD ISO M2TS track: ffmpeg.exe -i "P:\BDMV\STREAM\00029.m2ts" -map 0:0 -c copy 1.hevc -map 0:1 -c copy 2.hevc
2 - Proccess files with yusesope_tool_v0.0.4_alfa_initial_release
3 - Open TsMuxer, add the resultant HVEC file from yusesope's tool, then add the M2TS track from ISO, and mark selection of only audio tracks that you need.
4 - Proccess in M2TS and cake baked!

If the internal LG player is your only playback device, stick with mp4muxer. There's no point in messing with tsmuxer since you can't use lossless atmos.
I use a Shield connected to a Yamaha Atmos receiver, but I always test with the internal LG player also, to test maximum compatibility. In the past, none of my remuxes couldn't be played with the LG, but the Shield did. Now it works flawlessly with both.

Have you tried any titles that're listed as FEL here? And does that play without stutter on your LG internal player as well?

It's already happened :P the Ugoos AM6 Plus plays profile 7 dv rips in kodi 18.6 (seek to 5:15ish): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cpBJSM ... Wt_2A/view I've also heard from people who have successfully played DV profile 5 rips in kodi 19 on their shield. both devices are quickly shaping up to be m9702 killers..

nice!, i've also a kodi device, so thats good to hear. but i think the M9702 will be the only player that plays 4K iso's with menu's. also this was my first reason to get this device.

if kodi can play a profile 7 dolby vision, there's no reason it wont be able to play with menus, at least if it on a device that can run java. In this case, as an android device, it isn't a likely target (though I've been off and on investigating how to run a jvm on android for kodi to use). With that said, menus for UHDs are mostly pointless, as the vast majority of UHDs are movie only punting all the extras to the regular bluray disk (there are exceptions, but they prove the rule)

depends on your situation. its nice for me to skip all the demux/convert progress and put the iso/m2ts file in the M9702 and play DV/Atmos directly. i love to collect movies with menu's (iso's). for example: i have so all cuts of a movie like alien (1979), apocalypse now for my collection and not losless mkv remux files of each theatrical/extended cut. so i've save space. and menu's with series like game of thrones is useful for me.

the utility of the M9702 is big for me.

yes, there are times where menus are of value, but there are plenty more times when they don't give value. I have an m9702, I'm using it right now, but if there was a better way to play dolby vision discs I'd drop it in a heartbeat as its a terrible device overall. I have a really really large nas storage (we are talking triple digit terrabytes). you know what the m9702 does? it wants to scan the entire thing. terrible. we all know that if the fs on your nas changes, it wont see it until you reboot (combine with the above issue of scanning)

I wish I could drop it, but as you said, its the only thing that can reliably do dolby vision for us today,

my advantage is that i'm gonna use that thing only for my extern usb HDD. i hate stream/nas things. so for my situation is this perfect. i've have all my content on my usb hdd's..

which version have you? V3? are you satisfied with it? outside nas/streaming..

I didn't watch the whole video but at 5:15 he is playing a single layer DV rip. Also later in the video he mentioned that it doesn't play double layer.

Ah could be just a coincidence that some of the FEL titles I have stutter on the internal player. 1917, Anna, Mission Impossible Fallout, and Fate of the Furious, just to mention a few, all stutter for me. A lot of others do seem to play without issue, though, so still seems a bit hit or miss to me.
