Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
if kodi can play a profile 7 dolby vision, there's no reason it wont be able to play with menus, at least if it on a device that can run java. In this case, as an android device, it isn't a likely target (though I've been off and on investigating how to run a jvm on android for kodi to use). With that said, menus for UHDs are mostly pointless, as the vast majority of UHDs are movie only punting all the extras to the regular bluray disk (there are exceptions, but they prove the rule)
Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
depends on your situation. its nice for me to skip all the demux/convert progress and put the iso/m2ts file in the M9702 and play DV/Atmos directly. i love to collect movies with menu's (iso's). for example: i have so all cuts of a movie like alien (1979), apocalypse now for my collection and not losless mkv remux files of each theatrical/extended cut. so i've save space. and menu's with series like game of thrones is useful for me.
the utility of the M9702 is big for me.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
yes, there are times where menus are of value, but there are plenty more times when they don't give value. I have an m9702, I'm using it right now, but if there was a better way to play dolby vision discs I'd drop it in a heartbeat as its a terrible device overall. I have a really really large nas storage (we are talking triple digit terrabytes). you know what the m9702 does? it wants to scan the entire thing. terrible. we all know that if the fs on your nas changes, it wont see it until you reboot (combine with the above issue of scanning)kazuma wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 7:26 amdepends on your situation. its nice for me to skip all the demux/convert progress and put the iso/m2ts file in the M9702 and play DV/Atmos directly. i love to collect movies with menu's (iso's). for example: i have so all cuts of a movie like alien (1979), apocalypse now for my collection and not losless mkv remux files of each theatrical/extended cut. so i've save space. and menu's with series like game of thrones is useful for me.

I wish I could drop it, but as you said, its the only thing that can reliably do dolby vision for us today,
Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
my advantage is that i'm gonna use that thing only for my extern usb HDD. i hate stream/nas things. so for my situation is this perfect. i've have all my content on my usb hdd's..thetoad wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 12:26 pmyes, there are times where menus are of value, but there are plenty more times when they don't give value.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
I didn't watch the whole video but at 5:15 he is playing a single layer DV rip. Also later in the video he mentioned that it doesn't play double layer.Grencola wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 3:27 amIt's already happened the Ugoos AM6 Plus plays profile 7 dv rips in kodi 18.6 (seek to 5:15ish): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cpBJSM ...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Ah could be just a coincidence that some of the FEL titles I have stutter on the internal player. 1917, Anna, Mission Impossible Fallout, and Fate of the Furious, just to mention a few, all stutter for me. A lot of others do seem to play without issue, though, so still seems a bit hit or miss to me.Trujax wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 10:53 amTryed with Saving Private Ryan and Midway and runs ok.shawnc22 wrote: ↑Thu May 14, 2020 8:00 pmHave you tried any titles that're listed as FEL here?

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
not sure which one I have, have had it for a year. At the end of the day, the only imporvement over the dune smart I upgraded to it frm is that it can do 4k and dolby vision. As the majority of 4K content that isn't dolby vision I can easily turn into MKVs that's not such a big win as Kodi on my TV can play them perfectly. So the only real win is dolby vision. Which is a real thing. But it goes to why I strongly discourage most people from getting it unless dolby vision content is very important to them. Everything else the box can do can be done cheaper and better by other devices.kazuma wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 12:42 pmmy advantage is that i'm gonna use that thing only for my extern usb HDD. i hate stream/nas things. so for my situation is this perfect. i've have all my content on my usb hdd's..thetoad wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 12:26 pmyes, there are times where menus are of value, but there are plenty more times when they don't give value.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
It's an mp4, so it could be either profile. it's almost surely 7 though given this info by Nancy from the Ugoos staff:whatsmyname wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 1:35 pmI didn't watch the whole video but at 5:15 he is playing a single layer DV rip.

Dual layer currently is no problem. for single layer, Amlogic will update new SDK for s922x-j soon. Shortly after we receive the SDK we will push a new update.

If it does 3D ISO + Dual layer Dolby Vision(which format specifically btw?), then I'll also swap my M9702 for it.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
it's quite possible, I'll look into it.
Well it's 2020, we should start seeing more and more of these devices surface. Minix even finally wrote back and said they're also waiting on the Amlogic SDK releasing at the end of the month so they can get dv colors to look proper, so everything sounds pretty legit.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Yes, he said he created a couple of single layer videos and they are played by the Google Video Player (apparently it's an alpha version, you can't skip/rewind/pause, only stop) in Kodi.box4m wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 5:40 pmAre you saying hes playing a dv single layer video in kodi 18.6?whatsmyname wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 1:35 pmI didn't watch the whole video but at 5:15 he is playing a single layer DV rip.

I have no idea about this device, so maybe it can play profile 7, but in the video he definetly said it plays single layer but no double layer video.Grencola wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 1:23 amIt's an mp4, so it could be either profile. it's almost surely 7 though given this info by Nancy from the Ugoos staff:whatsmyname wrote: ↑Fri May 15, 2020 1:35 pmI didn't watch the whole video but at 5:15 he is playing a single layer DV rip.

Idk what it can do, just telling you what he said in the video.
Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Thanks for clarifying! The colors I'm the video seem ok, but maybe the dv fixes in the new sdk will make it even better. cool that it can do both profiles though since 7 has already been confirmed.whatsmyname wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 8:13 pmI have no idea about this device, so maybe it can play profile 7, but in the video he definetly said it plays single layer but no double layer video.
