so there must be something happening between tsmuxwer and yusesope tool which i cannot root out.
Is anyone having similar issue lately or maybe it is a bug?
Have you tried to create an mp4 file after the FEL->MEL conversion?
If the official Dolby tool does not encounter any problems, it means that the raw HEVC stream that my tool returns is correct.
Give it a try and let us know!

3 films: The Shining, Doctor sleep and Jaws.
They are DV Mel and also HDR10+ compatible.
None of them plays in Firestick 4k.
Audio only with black screen.
Anyone can explain why?

My android TV has the exact same DV implementation as Firestick 4k. I've tested The Shining which I ripped using 1.15.2 and it works flawlessly. Haven't tested the other 2 titles.
HDR10+ should be backwards compatible.
I don't think that's the problem, but you can always create a file using BL only (without DV).
Code: Select all
ffmpeg -i BL.hevc -c copy output.mkv
If the screen stays black then the problem is HDR10+.
If you upload a sample, I can check it out.

Just wanted to give some feedback on the new mode 2 (profile 8.1). It works very well.
From a FEL MKV, converting to 8.1 and back to MKV works with Plex on the Firestick 4K.
The converted 8.1 file can also be used in TS on LG webOS Plex and internal player, both trigger Dolby Vision.
So from the MKVs created by MakeMKV, there is a lot of compatibility fixes possible.
Thanks for the feedback! I had imagined the 8.1 profile just for those devices like TVs that have problems with UHD-BD MEL\FEL.
I'm glad it works.
For now, however, I'm doing some tests to see if I'm able to "cook" custom mkv and mp4 files with Dolby Vision.
The idea is to accept a Single Track\Dual Track file (with DV metadata intact) mp4 or mkv or ts or raw HEVC as input, give the possibility to select the audio tracks and subtitles of interest, choose, as happens now, the output mode (FEL->FEL, FEL->MEL, MEL->MEL, UHD->profile 8.1) and return an mp4, mkv and maybe even ts as output (instead of the actual HEVC).
The idea it's quite demanding and I don't know if I'm capable of it
.
Unfortunately there is so much to know and I only approached this world a few months ago (with some hours available on Saturdays)
.
THIS however is the result of a first test
.
It is a DV FEL Matroska file (version 4 with CRC and error detection at the first level).
The new Mediainfo correctly detects all the info but the definitive proof is to play it on the Shield (because FEL).
By the way, it's the intro of Terminator Dark Fate: it is normal that it is "glitchy"
.
Am I on the right track?
Thank you.
