My LG B9 internal player plays mp4 DV remuxes way better than the M9702, its frustrating! Comparing some movies you dont see much of a difference but in some there is a a major difference, for example Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets looks so bright and good in highlights on the internal player of my B9 and on the m9702 its so underwhelming! It's set to TV led so i dont know why the difference.

Also i seen that HDR 10 movies in some scenes look dark and highlights are less bright than on the TV's player, in this scenes if im setting the tone mapping option in my tv to off the picture quality improves a lot but then on another scenes picture quality is better with the tone maping option set to on! I think this player doesn't go hand in hand with the TV, maybe is some kind of double tone mapping, one made by the M9702 and one on the TV and this results in bad playback!

So if I am reading this right you have active hdr set on your TV?
You should have said that at the beginning, that is why the HDR playback of your internal app is brighter than the Dolby playback from the Oppo.
Just because it’s brighter doesn’t mean it’s correct, maybe you should set the output of the Oppo to HDR10 and let your TV apply faux metadata rather than the true metadata from the Dolby stream.

here's old comparisons

I have been using w64-nightly-2020-10-07--02-32-42 and creating files by using the playlist file from a full disc back-up. Everything works perfectly for Atmos / TrueHD content, but does anyone happen to know why DTS codecs are not being recognized by my soundbar?

Everything that is DTS based, seems to be outputting at LPCM.

Which soundbar is it? The most likely explanation is that it just simply doesn't support DTS.

Here is my feedback on this product:

The firmware is pretty buggy. I am currently in 0.66. With my Panasonic, I couldn't launch Dovi movies, then go find out why by just touching the brightness, contrast settings and going back to HT4 and relaunching the Dovi file where it can read the Dovi. It was a bit chaotic at first (suddenly yes, suddenly no), and almost all the time Films in Dovi play. The image is beautiful I finally enjoy it. Some slowdowns on some Bluray UHD Dovi, but not enough to whip a cat.

On the other hand, the Dovi x265 encodes (lords of the rings, Hobbit, Total recall) pass nickel chrome, the image is magnificent. I don't have any stuttering worries since I only watch FR tracks, and for the atmosphere for me I have more worries by remuxing them in THD + AC3. So I'm no longer expressly in a hurry to have new Firmware (hoping that it continues to work). Namely that I do not use the VS10 engine but am in a car. And you can clearly see the difference on some Movies between playing it in HDR and in Dovi, I suppose it's because the Dovi was better integrated on some than others, like when the 4k came out, at the beginning the master was only upscale.

So after a difficult start the Z9x is suitable for my use. But I cannot explain the why and how of this erratic functioning which improves on its own. I even wondered if the processor has a learning AI unit.

Thank you. The menu is different on CX and it doesn't even show the hdr details like it did in your pic (dolby vision profile under general section). Is it because I've connected my shield to my onkyo receiver instead of directly to my tv? I've watched many dolby vision mkv remuxes and I too feel like the picture doesn't look bright at all. HDR looks great though.

Next to the possibility shawnc22 stated,

Are you sure TrueHD (with or without Atmos metadata) works?
Since you are using full-disc back-ups, I have a hunch that it uses the embedded legacy AC3 5.1 track.
