Yes, these converted Mel files dont play on my x700 too. So I plugged my firestick into the Pana to compare them with the discs played on the x700.

The GIJoe P7 MEL triggers DV on the Zidoo Z9X, but your FEL to MEL plays in HDR10 only.

Thanks for your valuable tests!
The fact that devices like the FireStick 4K have no problems playing this type of file encourages me but the issue of the Sony x700/Zidoo Z9X leaves me a bit of a bad taste.

This is a second attempt based on a slightly different idea from the previous one.
Does THIS FILE play on both FireStick 4K and Sony/Zidoo Z9X?
Thank you!

Clearly, the test is also extended to owners of different devices (obviously interested in the FEL -> MEL).
In your posts please also specify the device.

EDIT: Done!

But you didn't let us know if it works on LG or not .
A little tip: if you don't need to make cuts, you can extract video and audio with a single command

Code: Select all

ffmpeg.exe -i \path\to\file -map 0:0 -c copy \path\to\BL.hevc -map 0:1 -c copy \path\to\EL.hevc -map 0:XXX -bsf:a truehd_core -c:a copy \path\to\AUDIO.ac3

Clearly replace "XXX" with the correct TrueHD (with ac3 core) audio stream id

@RESET_9999 we need you, I hope now works in the x700

@yusesope you're amazing

Unfortunately it still doesn't play on M9702 (Oppo 203 clone). I've also tried several titles, using the new beta version of your tool and my LG C8 plays all of them but for some reason, the ChinOppo doesn't.

Ok

We hope it works for @RESET_9999 too, but the most important response is that of @ragico.
If the file doesn't play on the FireStick, we're at the same point as before!

One device at a time !
Don't worry: your M9702 doesn't need a "conversion" FEL -> MEL.

I tested again on my PUS7304 with your FEL to MEL (1917 movie), but this time all profiles 4, 5, 7, 8 with id 1 and 8 with id 2 in exoplayer and yout latest test file, these are the results:

Profile 4 = It starts but lags until the image freezes.
Profile 5 = It plays correctly.
Profile 7 = Black screen, time does not advance.
Profile 8 id 1 = It plays correctly.
Profile 8 id 2 = It plays correctly.
fel_to_mel_test_2.mp4 (your test file)= Black screen, time does not advance.

No luck for me with profile 7 .

Is there any way to combine a TrueHD track with a converted FEL to MEL or do we need to wait for the tsMuxeR update?

Looks like tsMuxeR 2.6.16 Nightly has a few DV updates.

Your new file plays correctly in firestick, ugoos am6plus and shield.
In sony x700, via usb, it does not start and the counter stays at 000.

The .pgs subtitles works with exoplayer and firestick?

@yusesope maybe this method never work with x700 because is an "official player" I don't know

In the mp4 files I did not add subtitles so don't know if they are displayed in firestick.
In the DV Mkv played in shield/ugoos am6plus via kodi/exoplayer, the pgs subs work and are displayed correctly.

But normally, does the x700 play mp4 obtained with my tool (Single Track Double Layer)?

Could you please try to extract the hevc video stream from this latter mp4 file, demux it using my "DEMUX.bat", import the two bl.hevc (as first) and el_rpu.hevc (as second) into TsMuxeR and create a m2ts file to try on the Sony?

Thank you!

But why?
I need to know to understand if I'm doing something wrong!

Please can you try it with the firestick?

@yusesope I don't know, is only a idea, I say that becouse it work on Android devides but no in X700
You're are the master here

Thr m2ts file plays in sony x700 via usb.
Dolby vision is triggered a couple of seconds after the play starts.
There is some heavy flickering here and there.
