Although presumably TSmuxer is taking it out of a container when making it in to a ts file and that retains the DV, or is it not real DV when doing that?

tsmuxer reapplies the dv info when making a ts. but yea if you demuxed with tsmuxer there will be no sign of dv anywhere on the hevc files.

I think I might take a crack at automating the BL.HEVC and EL.HEVC hex merge using the information that @yusesope provided. Chances are I won't be successful but I'd like to be able to test more video clips while they work on their tool.

Reporting in with success using .TS with X700 on LG OLED 65 C7P.
Alita Battle Angel 4K UHD with Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, PGS Subtitles, and FF/RW.
Green screen after stopping, turns pink screen over portion when replaying. Reboot recovers the device.

Also, the file plays at 1080p/60 with HDR -> SDR using my projector (only 1080p) with HDR=Auto and DV=On. It will not do this properly with any other combo of HDR/DV in the Settings menu. Kinda strange. It can play at 24fps but the colors are washed out then. Only 60fps. But I'll take it for convenience sake.

feel free to grab my dv-mp4-maker and edit the main script to your liking if that helps. (right click the exe and choose extract or open with winrar) or send me your code and I can integrate it properly too. personally slammed on time to start coding from scratch again. it would be amazing if it works in an mkv container and we create a one-click tool to go from bdmv m2ts/mkv remux to our new dv-mkv remux

Want to reiterate to not get your hopes too high, my coding/scripting knowledge is very rudimentary.

MediaInfo results for Joker using TSMuxer (0301 nightly). What's interesting is that Dolby Vision is indicated on BOTH video tracks (unlike using the MP4 version, which only shows DV on the EL 2nd track). Also note that audio track is only showing the AC3 portion (of ATMOS), despite MKVToolNix (and TSMuxer) showing that the ATMOS track is indeed there. In fact, Media Center Master (which uses MediaInfo) shows only the AC3 track. BUG with MediaInfo?

The audio part is totally normal.. check your original m2ts, it will say the same.
Grencola claims his rips are different but i just dont see how it's possible.

So we are at another stumbling block, tsmuxer won't support TrueHD without ac3. Maybe Plex can add ac3 core support in a ts, although I'm not holding my breath for that.

Grencola wrote: Mon Mar 02, 2020 4:58 am just thinking out loud here.. using tsmuxer for a ts container isn't ideal since it doesn't allow for atmos without an ac3 core, which let's the shield play properly it seems right? well if yusesope can edit the hex of hevc files to include the bl+el+rpu into one single track file, can that not be put into an mkv with true-hd non-ac3 atmos so that it plays on the shield and many other devices instead of mp4? I've read before that mkv CAN actually do dolby vision, it's just that it only allows for the reading of the elementary video track (single layer) and disgards the rest. until now there's been no way to make a single layer mkv, since we had to use dvdfab's mp4 only method, and demuxing said mp4 (or ts etc) resulted in an hevc with all dv info stripped. but this is modifying the hevc outside of a container, leaving us free to choose the one we want, no? or do we still lose dv info for some reason? I'll do more testing tomorrow to see if I'm making any sense.

I don't know why you guys say that Atmos (truehd+ac3 core) in a TS or M2TS container is not supported on PLEX-shield.

I just tried with a regular HDR10 file and Atmos works just fine.

What version of tsmuxer did you use?

This test build:

this version can also make DV m2ts

i'm so confused at this point,its incredible what is going on.
would anyone be kind enough too give me a summary of what we found out?
I have quite a lot of dual layer MKV movies. But yeah so far not a single way to play it over the shield TV Pro?
I'm really really bad with command line based programs. hope a GUI based one comes out.
I sound very selfish about all of this but can maybe someone make a video also about what to do at this point in time with your Dolby Vision movies,what programs to use etc.?
I have DVDfab and i keep reading single layer is bad,and now apparently the dual layer converter is as well?
Much appreciated

I can only go off what others have said, I don't own a shield myself yet but am planning on purchasing one if this all works. So if they're wrong and atmos+ac3 does indeed work fine, then the only issue with a single layer dvdfab mp4 remuxed to TS with the bluray atmos audio added in is the colors are messed up? but the files yusesope edited play properly right?

Posted: **Tue Mar 03, 2020 2:47 am**

with the test build, i was able to create a single layer TS with atmos sample that works in PLEX/Shield.

but after that, I tried with a complete movie and tsMuxer test build won't accept my SL mp4. so went back to the first version that worked, and this version accepts my SL mp4 but then no audio on plex/shield.

here's the SL DV file with atmos that works on the shield. Notice how the dv profile went from 5.6 to 8.6

if i take the full movie ts that wont play atmos on plex and remux it again in the test build this time, then atmos works...

so.... not ideal but this allow DV + atmos on plex shield.
1- create SL DV in dvdfab
2- create TS with atmos in build: nightly-2020-02-23--01-10-39.zip
3- remux again in test build: https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21A ... ion=locate

^ Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is still using the video stream from the DVDFab Single Layer MP4 which is not true Dolby Vision right?

I think using DVDFab’s botched implementation of SL DV is a bad solution. We should really be striving to achieve true Dolby Vision. If we know DVDFab’s implementation of it is wrong, then we shouldn’t encourage using it.
