Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[deadchip12]

Sigh why doesn't dolby just release their own media player on pc that supports dolby vision and dolby atmos? They already got some form of that in their dolby access app, but that thing only plays some demo instead of any video files.

[Gallo73]

It's my first go today at doing this - I've made the MP4 but it isn't recognised by my LG E6 OLED when trying to play with a USB drive into the USB3 port. It looks like it tries to load (disk access light is flashing) but I just get the LG loading symbol and after a few minutes the error 'file cannot be played'. On the Shield TV it plays but as HDR which is normal I guess for profile 7.

I'd really just like a way to get DV playback from UHDs on my Shield TV ideally, but as I understand that's not possible with dual stream MP4 .If anything has changed I'd love to know. I've read through the threads but there is a lot of information and easy to miss developments.

I used the following command for mp4muxer - have I done something wrong? Does the version of tsMuxer matter to get the files from the BDMV backup I made in MakeMKV?

mp4muxer --dv-profile 7 --input-file base.hevc --input-file dv.hevc --input-file audio.ac3 --media-lang eng --output-file thematrix.mp4

Mediainfo reports the file structure correct I think:

It's already happened 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..

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)

What was the conclusion of Ugoos AM6 Plus concerning DV playback?
And is there a thread or information about wether kodi19 is gonna support more then profile 5?

can Ugoos AM6 Plus playback lossless audio as well?

because "pirates" and widows' implementation of HDR is abbysmal - which means app should be started with HDR on, in YCrCb4:2:0 (since movies use this) and display must support Dolby Vision

try to use older version of mp4muxer:
https://github.com/DolbyLaboratories/dl ... 0d7ca4eabd

in bin folder use mp4muxer_64bits.exe
it works on my LG OLED

1. I'm not 100% certain about this but to play directly on your LG TV you should use DV profile 4 (not 7).

2. For the shield, why not use MakeMKV to create a DV mkv file (from your backup folder), then use tsmuxer to create a ts file using the video from the mkv and the audio from the mpls in the backup folder?

[Gallo73]

Thank you very much, worked first time using the mp4muxer_64bits version.

I was also able to get Dolby Vision to trigger by using yusesope's bl_el_rpu_builder with the two hevc files from the BDMV backup and remuxing the resulting single file with the ac3 audio in tsMuxer to a ts file.

Both the MP4 and the ts file trigger Dolby Vision when played on my LG E6 OLED via USB. Both revert to vanilla HDR on my ShieldTV.

profile 7 is the right one to use when using mp4muxer for playback on the lg internal player

[Gallo73]

Thanks for everyone's help. I wasted a bit of time as I thought my Shield TV 2017 supported DV playback and it does not. But I can get DV playback on my LG E6 OLED from both the bl_el_rpu_builder and mp4muxer_64bits outputs via my plex server using the WebOS plex app.

After spending a day trying to get it to work I think using yusesope's bl_el_rpu_builder is the easiest method. Here's my workflow for use on a Plex server with the WebOS plex app and an LG E6 Oled.

1. Backup disc with MakeMKV
2. Open BDMV/STREAM with TSmuxer and demux the two hevc streams (base and el) and the ac3 audio stream
3. Use bl_el_rpu_builder to combine the two hevc streams
4. Load the combined stream and the audio stream into TSmuxer and mux to ts
5. Put ts file in your Plex library and enjoy glorious DV.

Hello, i quoted you on a random post to "ping you", i was wondering, can you see a reason why i cannot encode/shrink the BL only and then try to use -mode2 with your tool? It goes to 100% but i get no prompt like "enter to finish", and when i later try to mp4muxer it all together, it just stands there for hours.
Abit niche scenario, just wondered if you have an idea.

Cheers for amazing work

Hi, are you using the 0.0.4 ALFA version of my program?
If not, you can download it from my original post (HERE).
I also invite you to read "Instructions and considerations".

thank you, i was not using 0.0.4 ALFA i will try that, the AUs are the same on BL and EL, and as i was typing this, it seems to work with 0.0.4!

i have now used the tool of grencola and the problem is gone. but if i first demux te files and convert to mp4, i get lyp-sync issue...

You are probably demuxing the AC3 track with Atmos, which will cause audio issues. Grencola's tool converts the Atmos AC3 track into a regular AC3.
