No DV support for UHD Bluray on the Xbox Series X, DV is only available through streaming apps.

Yeah but it'll be interesting to know if it too can play DV MEL (or FEL converted to MEL) titles like the Firestick 4k. Through the modified exoplayer of course, or Plex.

Not likely. No chance for exoplayer since it's not an Android based OS. It seemingly has the same DV implementation as the One X and Plex so far hasn't shown any signs of adding DV support after such a long time.

My understanding is there is a good proven method of creating DV MEL files for both MEL and FEL>MEL for devices like Fire TV 4K Stick and Nvidia Shield in MKV through Plex. Can someone summarize how to get it done step by step? I would really appreciate it!

I think after the latest update Plex now supports DV?

You don’t need to do anything than use Makemkv with Plex on Shield 2019.

Is there a solution for this? Or has this happened due to something I did wrong?

It's not your fault.
FFmpeg can rarely fail to perfectly sync my video with the audio in the chosen file.

I don't know how you solved it (there are so many ways), the easiest for me is to use the -itsoffset switch inside the second command.
-itsoffset must be placed before the second input (i.e. the file from which FFmpeg will take the audio ... look at the red part in the example)

src\Gpac\gpac.exe -i pipe://video:ext=hevc:audelim=true -o stdout:ext=ts:pes_pack=none | src\FFmpeg\ffmpeg_win_x64.exe -hide_banner -y -i - -itsoffset 170ms -i \path\to\your\original\file.m2ts -map 0:0 -map 1:2 -c copy -bsf:v hevc_metadata=aud=insert -metadata title="Movie Title_________________________________________________________________________" \path\to\your\output\file.mkv

Use a positive value (in this specific case, 170ms) if the audio starts before the video (aka “you have to slow down the audio”).
Use a negative value (in this specific case, -170ms) if the video starts before the audio (aka “you have to slow down the video”).

Faced the same issue with 2 another movies: 13 Hours (this movie is divided into 3 m2ts files so had to use new GAMMA build with -bluray command support) and Angel Has Fallen (single m2ts file)

The audio delay issue happened here also and it is exactly the same it was with First Man. The video is delayed by 167ms (exact same value as before which equals to 7 video frames for 23.976fps video) which leads to the audio being in front of the video and setting manual delay using ffmpeg/mkvtoolnix adds an extra step.

The fact that the exact same issue has happened with 3 different blurays I feel it could possibly be a bug and not just something due to ffmpeg?

One thing to note is that all 3 blurays have truehd audio tracks (these are the only 3 with truehd audio that I have tried yet and all of them have given the same problem) as primary and I used fel to mel switch everytime . These are the only common denominators I can see.

I compared DoVi MEL with the Fire TV Stick 4k and plex from my qnap nas with the original FEL muxed in mp4 (2 video streams), which plays directly from usb on my LG C8LLA. Both look so much better than normal HDR, wich I can trigger via plex when I select the dts audio track, triggers transcode and switches back to HDR. With the AC3 track selected it switches back to DoVi. FEL looks slightly better of course, but it's not that noticable. One thing I noticed, is that I have to deselect the subtitles pgs/srt as it triggers transcode in plex. But when I select them during playback, directplay stays on, no trandscoding and they are displayed correctly both pgs and srt. (might be a plex bug) Especially with GOT that's quite important as there are quite a lot of foreign/invented language parts.

Repeating this procedure for 73 episodes to get DoVi to MEL so that my Fire TV Stick 4K can play it would take forever. I'm get a Nivdia Shield 2019, not the pro version, for comparison, FEL and Atmos/DTS-HD support.

Anyone know how to do this?

Get the pro version, have you not read the reviews of the tube?

I have. Actually, I found much more negative reviews, especially regarding Wifi on the pro version. I don't need more internal storage, the USB-Ports are useless, 1GB more Ram will also not make much of a difference, I already have a plex server on my nas and have no need for SmartThings. As the hardware is almost identical I don't see any advantage to buy the pro version. Is there any downside regarding DoVi playback or why should I get the Pro version?
