Yes, it triggers DV. A LOT of testing needs to happen cause from what I can see in my limited 2 minute testing so far it looks like a mess. The colors seems way off to me. I could be wrong and will do some bigger comparisons this weekend when I get a chance but I see red. Lots of red.

I've tested quite a few of my P7 FEL/MEL STDL remuxes and they all play perfectly.

Can someone please link me the 'modified Exoplayer' that works on Firestick4k for MP4 DV playback? All links on this thread are dead.
Thanks

I'll be doing direct comparison with the uhd on my ub820 but the quick testing I did last night looks off. They play fine but the colors don't look right. Maybe the shield needs a reboot. Wouldn't be the first time.

Can’t believe plex would have correct colours but the custom exoplayer wouldn’t? I guess it’s not impossible but highly unlikely right?

Read back through the posts here. Not all problems have been fixed in general.

Hey all, I am thinking of getting a Firestick4k just so I can play my DV Rips since my TV media player is bit finicky when it comes to playing them. I just have a few concerns/questions before I pull the trigger:

Will Kodi+Exoplayer be enough to run DV rips on it and does it support refresh rate matching? I really dont like using Plex cause I have never got it to work.
Are there any specific profiles that it supports like Atv Profile 5?
Is it able to run FEL DV or just MEL?

Is there an option to stream files over the network? since i dont like the idea to load files on external every time i want to watch something.
Are there currently any color space issue (like shield) or any audio sync problems?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi, I know it isn’t entirely possible to be technically correct with external screen shots but I would say the x700 is cooler, is that what you are seeing?
yep, there is the red blocs artifacts issue and the colors are sligthly off compared to the x700.

I think all the files produced by @yusesope tool are correct. the problem is the Shield.

Guys, since MP4 files dont play nice with Subs, is it possible to add downloaded subtitles on modified version of Kodi Exoplayer on Firestick4k? Please reply thanks

Here are 5 more comparisons between the Shield and the Sony x700. The file tested is a profile 04.06 single track BL+EL+RPU.
But this time, instead of using my camera, a friend of mine(thank's manix) provided me two samples tone mapped to SDR from Dolby Vision made using a capture card (pro-res HQ) and the vertex 2 which allow the DV tone mapping.

This method shows the difference more accurately than camera pictures because exactly the same tone mapping is applied to both players and no clipping nor off looking colors usually introduced by the camera. it allows me to compare a lot more frames quickly too.

here are the 5 comparisons...

I also asked him for the same comparison but with a FEL movie and also a sample from the firestick TV

Nice. :D Can you make Mission Impossible shots with same method? :roll:
I've linked samples recently.

I wouldn’t jump too quickly, I have Zidoo Z9X as well as Shield and in my limited testing on the Zidoo the colours look more over saturated than on my Oppo Clone - which is amazingly natural.
I haven’t tried any 8.1 files yet though.
