TL;DR...I've summarized the next step in my quest for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos as in the following: FFmpeg or MakeMKV---->yusesope's tool---->tsMuxeR (nightly)

Question #1- Clear steps that anyone can follow? I found this post but I'm sure the steps changed since then?

Question #2- yusesope's tool, I guess yusesope is a user? A search confirmed this. I have yet to find the tool. I've looked but maybe I'm lacking too much sleep and this confinement is not helping the cause. *Took one last look through the 414 matches* Found this: https://forum.mrmc.tv/viewtopic.php?f=1 ... 310#p25425
Is that it?

Question #3- Why are people picking AC3 over True HD or Atmos?

alright lets do this
Question 1
#1 first step is to obtain a ISO and unzip/demux it so you got the raw files
#2 open up a cmd in ffmpeg folder and use the command: as a example: this will create 3 files: BL.hevc,EL.hevc and atmos.mp4
#3 we then use the tool made by Yusescope. its very easy with the batch file.
this will merge the BL and EL file together.
#4 while we are at it we can go into eac3
- Click Input File and select atmos.mp4
- Under Track Input and Output format change "ac3" to "thd+ac3" then click Add
- In the bottom click RUN CL and wait
-When finished you will have a "atmos.mp4_.thd+ac3" file, rename this to "atmos.ac3"
-(you can delete the old atmos.mp4)
#5 the last step is to open TSmuxer and mix the hevc file and atmos.ac3 file into a .TS file
that will give you a playable single layer dolby vision movie

Question #2 yuescope tool is indeed made by a user
https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 413#p85413 here it is. he updates his original post.

Question #3 Theirs a few issues with true-hd and atmos working in the current conversion method. that's why we use the underlying ac3 core audio file that comes with atmos.
when we try playing with atmos plex either spits out a error or plays it in hdr instead of dolby vision.

For those that have been unable to get DV+Atmos working in a TS container on the 2019 Shield Pro (only 2019, there is no DV support on previous versions), download the demo mentioned in this post

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=18602&p=85793#p85786

If it works, then you're doing something wrong in the remux process. If it doesn't work, then it's something wrong with your plex set up

Edit: previous sample no longer available. try this instead: https://mega.nz/file/YSxhkSLK#fkfy54tYV ... xIOBZLyGR4

I tried to check as well is the issue was with John Wick 3 itself, but, from my side it plays nicely.

Here the MediaInfo About the procedure, once again.

ffmpeg: ffmpeg -i D:\yourfilename.m2ts -map 0:0 -c copy D:\BL.hevc -map 0:1 -c copy D:\EL.hevc
python: python D:\bl_el_rpu_builder.py -bl D:\BL.hevc -el D:\EL.hevc -of D:\Full.hevc
tsMuxer (nightly): add Full.hevc + yourfilename.m2ts, keeping the audio tracks you want and get the .ts file.

Try to see if the file plays on your computer first, than go on Plex (no pgs on). If you still get an error probably you have a problem with your media streamer/Plex app settings.

Looks like the issue is with your setup. Lot of variables at play here but a few things you can try:

-Make sure atmos is enabled in the Shield audio formats settings. Default is to let your audio receiver decide which formats are supported. If you're positive that your audio system is capable of decoding an atmos signal, turn it on manually.
-Go in the play store and manually double check the plex app is update to date
-Check plex settings to make sure audio passthrough is enabled. Only HDMI passthrough will work with atmos.

Thank you!

Thanks! It seems the biggest issue was the new player, only watched about 10 minutes of a movie, but it seemed to work fine.

Did you link to the correct version? I ask because I used the version you linked to and it created a file with:

Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.06.06

I aborted the process because when I used w64-nightly2020-04-07--02-11-14 it created a file with the same output and that file plays as HDR10 on my TV. I'm trying to work out how to create a file with profile 5 because The Mandalorian plays perfectly on my TV:

Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.05.06, BL+RPU

I'm using the internal player on my TV and the file you linked to works but my TV gave an unsupported audio format message.I used tsMuxeR to "Downconvert TRUE-HD to AC3" and the clip plays in Dolby Vision with sound. I then created an MKV of Doctor Sleep using MakeMKV, extracted the thd+ac3 using eac3to and muxed it using tsMuxeR ("tsMuxer (04.06 fix))"). The result is a file that has sound and a black screen, the strange thing is the clip you posted and the file I created have matching HDR info:

HDR format: Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.04.06, BL+EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2094 App 4, Version 1, HDR10+ Profile B compatible

HDR format: Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.04.06, BL+EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2094 App 4, Version 1, HDR10+ Profile B compatible

I tried a couple of other films and they also don't work, although one did show the Dolby Vision logo but the screen remained black.

you got dhve 06.06 because you used mode 1 of yusesope's tool, and the new version of tsmuxer.
It seems that you download the wrong file ? I have tested the link. the date of tsmuxer.exe must be 2020-03-30.
mode 1 of yusesope's tool ——>BL+EL+RPU ——> dhve 04.06(old version of temuxer, I posted the link) or 06.06(new version of tsmuxer)
mode 2 of yusesope's tool ——>BL+RPU ——> dhve 05.06(old version of temuxer , I posted the link) or 08.06(new version of tsmuxer)

quick question how do you switch modes in yuescope's tool? with the batch preferably?

rosavanwinkle wrote: Tue Apr 28, 2020 10:53 am quick question how do you switch modes in yuescope's tool? with the batch preferably?

put "-mode 2" at the end of the batch file

Whole thing should look like this:

python-3.7.6.amd64\python src\bl_el_rpu_builder_v0.0.3_rev_1.py -mode 2

as a example:

Don't take this the wrong way, but why, when he basically asked for the easiest possible method, did you post the convoluted method using yusecope's tool, when there is now a much easier method just using makemkv and tsmuxer (and eac3to if you want TrueHD)? Is there something I'm missing that makes the old convoluted method that creates tons of files better than the new method that gives you a file that will hopefully be able to be used directly in the near future?

+1

Ever since tsmuxer started being able to mux Blu-ray rips into a ts/m2ts with truehd+atmos, I don't see a point of any of these other methods. It's a 1 step, at most 2 (if you do truehd to thd+eac from .mkv source instead of full rip) to use tsmuxer. But not everybody has X700/Oppo I suppose (weird because the Sony costs less than their beloved Shields).
