Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

[ahmadss]

Hi

guys can kodi play dolby vision ?
not through plex addon

[iamTa]

So when I try to play this file via external hdd connected to the c9, it won't play at all? Or just the pictures will appear and the audio is muted? If it is the latter, I think this method still benefits me in a way. I won't have to keep both the dolby vision mp4 file with no atmos track and the mkv hdr10 file with atmos track; instead I will just keep this dolby vision mkv file with atmos track.

If you are able to use Plex or Emby the applicable LG app store apps are able to play MKV files and will fall back to AC3 Core.

Fantastic. Quick question though. If I play any FEL->MEL mkv made using this workflow, directly in Kodi without exoplayer, will it fall back to HDR10?
Also how to retain pgs subtitles using this workflow?

Yes it will fall back to HDR10 and you can retain all the PGS subtitles in step 4 when you re-add the original m2ts to tsMuxeR.

Do we know yet if the z9x has the same color issue as the shield? What about the fire tv (stick)?

Nvidia fixed the color issue in the last fw (removed the wrong BT.2020 flag).
On Zidoo, still present: http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads ... ost-130978
The Fire TV has no color issues.

"Red push" or rather "red blocks" problem still exists
BT2020 flag is different issue

MI:Fallout bath fight scene is the best demo.

Also I would like to suggest Atomic Blonde as test material. For some reasons it has color issues after MakeMKV conversion

Yeah I can still easily see the red blocks on fallout, not sure if that’s the worst it is now - I did have to look closely at times to see it compared to playing it in hdr10.

Will be interesting to see how other devices compare now that at least fire tv (stick) can play back more (converted) titles.

Valerian hasnt any color issues
DV also better than HDR in gradients

i agree DV is better.
But is FEL shown correctly so that the improvements in picture compared to MEL is shown?

[lexyz]

Valerian is a good source for compairson
For example this frame around 52:40 mark

Just pay attention to gradiens on wall

Extract hevc streams with ffmpeg: ffmpeg.exe -i X:\BDMV\STREAM\XXXXX.m2ts -map 0:0 -c copy X:\BL.hevc -map 0:1 -c copy X:\EL.hevc

Is it ok to demux m2ts by tsmuxer to avoid ffmpeg?

@ the owners of a Sony x700 player. @ragico(thank's a lot) found a workaround to the bug that forces you to reboot your player after any playback of a dual-layer profile 7 TS file.

play & stop this LG demo and it will somehow reset the player. You have to do that every time you stop playback of a dual-layer TS.
It's not an ideal solution but it's better than having to reboot the player.

Also, I thought the single track FEL (EL+RPU) didn't work on the x700 but apparently some files will work. So I'm now able to compare a single track FEL file to the original disc on the x700.
If the FEL single track files are done properly, I will be able to tell if the Shield can play the FEL metadata or if it's just ignoring it.

btw how do you like this demo on shield in comparison to x700?
Can you notice any odd thing?
Because I clearly see some problems

In the testing I have done on Shield the colours are off on most DV titles, with the limited testing I have done with Z9X that has red push with converted files also.
