Which version of tsMuxer should be used for yusesope's tool? Also, can tsMuxer be used to demux the individual streams and the audio? or do we have to use ffmpeg for that?

Right click on the "start_bl_el_rpu_builder.bat" file.
Left click on the "Edit" item.
In the newly opened text file there is this string:

Code: Select all

python-3.7.6.amd64\python src\bl_el_rpu_builder.py
Modify it as follows

Code: Select all

python-3.7.6.amd64\python src\bl_el_rpu_builder.py -mode 2
Save your changes and try again by double clicking on the "start_bl_el_rpu_builder.bat" file.

The file that will be created will always have the name "BL_EL_RPU.hevc" but in reality it will be a single track single layer file (BL + RPU)

Just tested with the full black panther movie as well and both DV and Atmos looks good on plex with shield. Steps I took for reference:

1) Demux the original mpls file from decrypted uhd into 2 hevc tracks with tsmuxer version from here: https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 485#p85786
2) Merge both hevc tracks with latest version of yusesope's tool
3) Remux the now merged hevc file with the original mpls file again (only atmos track selected this time) in same tsmuxer version from step 1.

I know it's not a big deal or priority at this point, but just to wanted to double check that subtitles and chapters currently aren't working, right? I selected all the PGS tracks when remuxing the final TS file, but if I select any of them on playback in plex, the video refuses to play.

Thanks for the all hard work everyone!

Whenever I add the second HEVC file and hit enter the tool just closes instantly. I have tried multiple computers, all with the same result. Anyone know a fix? I'm on Windows 10

I tried yusesope's tool (v 0.02) with "The Meg" but for some reason it didn't work. Process finished and asked me to exit with "EL analysis" being at 99% and the resulting hevc file has the exact same size as the base layer. I can play the file but it's just HDR10.
Ehat could be the problem?

Use external srt with Plex, I know it’s an extra step but well worth it, chapters cant be added to a TS file, Plex should automatically download chapters for titles from its database but it’s extremely hot and miss on the new player, they are aware.

At this point, what is the best way to prepare DV movie for LG B8?

What I currently try to do:
  • Rip 4K Blu-ray Disc as a file folder
  • Open biggest .m2ts file from STREAM folder with usual latest tsMuxer, extract two .hevc files from it — one at ~60 gig, other is at ~6 gig
  • Use Dolby's mp4muxer to create profile 7 .mp4 file
And the resulting file just doesn't play, Plex just freezes and doesn't launch the playback. What am I doing wrong? Should I use try to use modified txMuxer that appeared earlier on this thread, or switch to ffmpeg tool? Should I try new --profile 7.06? Or it's not the right profile for Plex on LG webOS?

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

To understand what the problem is, you should run the program from the command line and post the error returned here.

Simply, when you are inside the folder of my program:
  • open a Command Prompt window by typing "cmd" in the address bar of File Explorer (help yourself with the image at the bottom)
  • In the new window, paste the string

    Code: Select all

    python-3.7.6.amd64\python src\bl_el_rpu_builder.py
    and hit enter.
  • Follow the instructions on the screen and if the program gives an error, post here the message that is returned to you.
