I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to convert (without quality loss) a FEL movie to MEL. I have some ideas about it and this is a first try.
In THIS archive you will find two files: the original file is the FEL one (generated starting from the ISO uploaded HERE by @RESET_9999), the MEL file was obtained by modifying the first.

If you feel like it, try both files. Personally I am interested in the tests carried out on devices that have proved capable of playing MEL files with profile 7 but not FEL files (Fire Stick 4K, some Android TVs, etc ...). With these latest devices the desired result should be:
FEL file -> HDR (or unplayable)
MEL file -> DV.

Please, in your feedback obviously indicate the outcome, the device and the player used (if you can, also use my version of ExoPlayer).

Thank you

FEL file -> DV, black screen.
MEL file -> DV, plays fine.

MEL plays and triggers DV through Kodi+your lastest exoplayer.

I'm playing these directly on my Android TV. (A cheap Indian brand, VU Cinema TV 50" with Dolby Vision).

You own UGOSS AM6 PLUS i see, can u confirm if it can play profile 7 files? Dual layer, dual track and dual layer, single track?

Thanks

All of the audio tracks, including the TrueHD Atmos track, require a delay of 2,169ms in order to sync up with the video.

When I create the .TS file in tsMuxer with the audio delay set to 2,169ms, my 2019 Shield Pro reverts to HDR and transcodes down to DD+.

When I create the .TS file in tsMuxer with the audio delay set to zero, it plays in Dolby Vision & TrueHD Atmos on my Shield Pro but with the audio clearly a couple seconds ahead of the video.
Has anyone encountered this issue with other movies?
Are there any solutions to tackle this, such as removing the first 2,169ms of the video to make them sync up, or any way to add 2,169ms to the beginning of the .thd+ac3 file?

when you're extracting the bl and el files with eac3to, did you notice any errors? when there's an a/v sync issue after remuxing, it's possible that there may be errors in the original video layers.

No errors during the extraction and the issue appears to exist before that point. When I pull the original M2TS / MPLS files into eac3to and tsMuxer they already acknowledge the required delay:
eact3to:
1: Chapters, 22 chapters
2: h265/HEVC, 2160p24 /1.001 (16:9), 10 bits
3: h265/HEVC, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9), 10 bits - Dolby Vision Enhancement Layer
4: TrueHD/AC3 (Atmos), 7.1 channels, 48kHz, 2168ms

6: AC3, 5.1 channels, 640kbps, 48kHz, dialnorm: -27dB, 2168ms

tsMuxer:
Automatically sets the delay on all audio files to 2,169ms when imported.

I had this problem with Braveheart, I seem to remember ripping it either movie only ISO with DVDfab then processing that output

You can mux in DTS-HD later, whether the roku recognised the stream is another matter,!plex does in the shield, Zidoo Z9S doesn’t recognise the DTS-HD track and usually chokes.
