I'd rather do it once then make TS files I'd have to wait to remux into MKV. But thanks. Hopefully an APK comes soon to mess around with.

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
I didn't realize that you guys were still interested in my apk (given the pull request already present on the exoplayer github page). If you want I can upload the apk tomorrow (because I'm not at home at the moment and I will be back late at night) ... There is no need to clean anything because it is no longer my turn to present an "impeccable" job to the Exoplayer team. The code is more than good as it is ...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
Yes please. Some of us would definitely like to play around with it when you have time.yusesope wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 8:40 pmI didn't realize that you guys were still interested in my apk (given the pull request already present on the exoplayer github page).

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
It's not difficult. You rip the MKV first (which is what you're going to end up keeping). And then make the TS using tsmuxer and eac3to from the MKV. The ts would be transient and could be deleted once the APK is released, but, it'd allow you to test the HDFury.
Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
Once yusecope's modified exoplayer apk is released and installed on your Shield, you need to make the following changes:
1) Create a playercorefactory.xml file as shown from the example here: https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Use_exter ... on_Android
2) Add this entry to the players block:
3) Move the file over to the Shield at /Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata
4) Restart Kodi on your Shield and then browse to the mkv you're trying to play, hold down the select button and you should now see a "Play Using" option. Select that and then ExoPlayer to start playing.
1) Create a playercorefactory.xml file as shown from the example here: https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Use_exter ... on_Android
2) Add this entry to the players block:
Code: Select all
<player name="ExoPlayer" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>com.google.android.exoplayer2.demo</filename>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
</player>
4) Restart Kodi on your Shield and then browse to the mkv you're trying to play, hold down the select button and you should now see a "Play Using" option. Select that and then ExoPlayer to start playing.

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
Sure of course. Here is the latest version of yusecope's modified ExoPlayer apk:

Please note that I have only tested short sample clips made from makemkv 1.15.2 and not a full length title. Also this has only been tested on the 2019 Shield Pro, so YMMV on other Android devices. And finally, all credit goes to yusecope and thanks again for the great work .

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
Guys, I have a question, and it's not about DV.
Looking at the mediainfo of a m2ts (4K) file, the bit rate of the video is different compared to BDinfo, for example.
An example of this is the movie Avengers: Endgame: in the mediainfo of the m2ts file the video hits 42.5 Mb / s; in BDinfo the video hits 36.2 Mb / s.
Is this 42.5 Mb / s information wrong? I notice that these bit rate differences happen almost always in comparisons.
If this matter has been commented on before, I apologize for not seeing it.

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
I've just tried this, and while Dolby Vision mode is triggered, I just get audio and a black screen. I can't choose the 3840x2160 video track.shawnc22 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 9:29 pmSure of course. Here is the latest version of yusecope's modified ExoPlayer apk:

Maybe that's expected though.
Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
This was why I was wondering. I didn't think yusesope was providing an APK as someone 'beat him to the punch'yusesope wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 8:40 pmI didn't realize that you guys were still interested in my apk (given the pull request already present on the exoplayer github page).

I'm just happy we have something to mess with in the interim. I'm fairly excited
Thank you!
Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
Give this sample a try and see if you get the same behavior:quietvoid wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 9:38 pmI've just tried this, and while Dolby Vision mode is triggered, I just get audio and a black screen.

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1
Thanks for sharing that. I'll have to play later. Still watching a movie at the moment and apparently my list of things to work on tonight is growing. LOL
