I’m trying to create the file in MP4Muxer, and I was able to create a DL DV MP4 file with the BL+EL, but when I try to mux the BL_EL_RPU.hevc file that was generated with yusesope’s tool, MP4muxer is generating a 0 byte file. Any suggestions?
Yusesope’s tool appears to have generated the BL_EL_RPU.hevc correctly (it’s the size of the BL+EL combined) but MP4Muxer just doesn’t seem to do anything with it.
Are you letting mp4muxer finish?
On my NVME drives it takes 7-8 minutes probably
It seems to finish. It goes over to the next line in command prompt, ready for another input.
I’m only using a 4 minute file, and it was able to create a dual layer file in a minute or two, but that’s not the case with the single layer HEVC. It finishes almost immediately - after entering the command, it waits for a second or two and then goes to the next like in command prompt ready for another input.
I’ll try to do more troubleshooting when I get back home as I had to leave, was just curious if anyone had the problem. For all I know a simple restart of my PC will fix it.

Seems to work with mp4muxer, plays nicely on the shield, audio says truehd when I look in the plex settings but no audio, I'm guessing the only current option for Atmos is still the yusesope player. Still great work making a proper single layer DV file

May I ask what profile you tested, 4 or 7?
I'll be testing 4 files when I get home, I made both profiles - Not sure what the difference is.
2 Files with DTS-HD MA 7.1 - Profile 4 & 7
2 Files with Atmos (Which I do not think will play) - Profile 4 & 7

It's too early for that
We need a comparative

I'm trying to be optimistic, at least mediainfo is looking good

Looking forward to some comparison shots and people with HDfury checking

Yes this new method looks promising. unlike dvdfab SL, the BL + EL + RPU are present & same size as the original, so everything seems right. I just hope the shield will actually make use of the EL.
HDfury wont tell us anything special because DV(fake or not) is always sent in an 8bit RGB container on my setup (denon avr ---> C8).
But I can do some screenshot comparison if i get a chance tonight.

Hi,
What media player do Shield TV users are using to play single DV? Kodi? Other? Thanks

Thank you, if you can try the profiles 4 and 7 like yusesope said

I have followed the steps and now have the final .mp4 file created by mp4muxer as yusesope reccomends. Can I now using it to create the .ts file in tsmuxer so that I can add the atmos track? Or I will loose some dv quality?

TSMuxer will lose some of the DV, read back a few posts. If you do that you will lose the EL bits and pieces

A quick question, if this works will it be identical (in theory) to the original dual layer source? As it has BL+El, or do we lose something like 12bit?
