I have the following TEST data points to offer for 3 scenarios:
- Plex Windows Server->Shield 2019 Pro Plex Client->LG CX77
- Plex Windows Server->LG WebOS Plex Client->LG CX77 (eARC)
- Plex Windows Server->Sony x700 DLNA Client->LG CX77
Server = Version 1.20.3.3483
LG WebOS Plex Client Version = 5.3.1 (Client)
Shield Pro OS = Version 8.2.0
Shield Pro Plex Client = Version 7.23.0.13018
Sony x700 DLNA Client = latest US version as today
These Yusesope trial muxes were run:
- DTDL_FEL.mp4
- DTDL_FEL_1.mp4
- DTDL_FEL_2.mp4
- DTDL_FEL_3.mp4
- DTDL_FEL_4.mp4
- DTDL_FEL_to_MEL.mp4
- STDL_FEL.mp4
- STDL_FEL_to_MEL.mp4
- FEL_to_Profile81.mp4
- FEL.mkv
- FEL_to_MEL.mkv
- FEL_to_Profile81.mkv
For what it is worth, I also tried:
- A full DTDL .ts (TSMuxer) mux of 1917 (FEL)
- Video 1 = SMPTE ST 2094 App 4, Version 1, HDR10+ Profile B compatible
- Video 2 = Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.05, EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible
- A full DTDL .ts (TSMuxer) mux of Shazam (MEL)
- Video 1 = SMPTE ST 2094 App 4, Version 1, HDR10+ Profile B compatible
- Video 2 = Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.05, EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible
- A full STDL .ts (Alpha) mux of Shazam (MEL)
- Video = Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.05, EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible
- A full DTDL .MP4 (Original MP4 method) mux of Casino Royale (MEL)
- Video 1 = SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible
- Video 2 = Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.06, EL+RPU / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible
- A full STDL .ts (Alpha) mux of First Man (FEL)
- Video = Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.04.06, BL+EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible
Results (1=Shield, 2=WebOs, 3=X700):
- DTDL_FEL.mp4: 1=HDR, 2= HDR, 3=DV
- DTDL_FEL_1.mp4: 1=HDR, 2= HDR, 3=DV
- DTDL_FEL_2.mp4: 1=HDR, 2= HDR, 3=DV
- DTDL_FEL_3.mp4: 1=HDR, 2= HDR, 3=DV
- DTDL_FEL_4.mp4: 1=HDR, 2= HDR, 3=DV
- DTDL_FEL_to_MEL.mp4: 1=HDR, 2= HDR, 3=DV
- STDL_FEL.mp4: 1=HDR, 2= HDR, 3=DNP
- STDL_FEL_to_MEL.mp4: 1=HDR, 2= HDR, 3=DNP
- FEL_to_Profile81.mp4: 1=HDR, 2=DV, 3=HDR
- FEL.mkv: 1=HDR, 2= HDR, 3=HDR (Audio Error)
- FEL_to_MEL.mkv: 1=HDR, 2=HDR, 3=HDR (Audio Error)
- FEL_to_Profile81.mkv: 1=HDR, 2=HDR, 3=HDR (Audio Error)
- 1917.ts: 1=HDR, 2=HDR, 3=DV (buffering issues after 3-5 minutes)
- Shazam.ts (STDL): 1=HDR, 2=HDR, 3=DNP (had multiple video issues with my Sony x700/Denon x4700/LG CX77 combination - scrambled pixellated overlay which required a power down of all equipment to reset)
- Shazam.ts (DTDL): 1=HDR, 2=HDR, 3=DNP
- Casino Royale.mp4: 1=HDR, 2=HDR, 3=DV (audio not recognized)
- Casino Royale.ts: 1=HDR, 2=DV (incompatible eARC audio), 3=DNP
- First Man.ts: 1=HDR, 2=HDR, 3=DNP
In summary:
- All DTDL MP4 test files triggered DV for x700 - may or may not be buffering issues, files too small
- DTDL .ts file triggered DV for x700 - buffering issues
- MP4 files from early method triggered DV in x700 but audio limitations prevented use
- No file configuration to date triggered DV in Shield
- Casino Royale.ts (Alpha method) triggered DV in WebOS but LG eARC audio restrictions prevented sound
- FEL_to_Profile81.mp4 triggered DV in WebOS but LG eARC audio restrictions will be issue
Ultimately, I need SOMETHING to trigger DV in the Shield...
