On my C9 it looked fine and played fine. Seems like LG did remove the ability to play dual layer dolby vision file from the CX (and probably upcoming oled tvs as well). That sucks.
what a mess. i'm happy i've bought an m9201.

Is there a way to know which one is what version?

If you use MediaInfo you can see what is called "Alternate Group", I think it was, set to 1 for both the BL and EL+RPU tracks for a file created with mp4muxer v1.0.1. The BL track is also set to "Default: yes".

This information is as I remember not visible with MediaInfo for a file created using mp4muxer v1.0.0.

Is the x700 able to play dolby vision m2ts file directly? Thinking of investing in a bluray player instead of relying on the oled's internal player.

Yes
Really? Since the x700 is relatively cheap, maybe people should just buy it and play the dolby vision m2ts files from it instead of going through troubles to create working dolby vision mp4 files?

that's what a lot of us here have been doing for months :)
The file needs to be remuxed with tsmuxer to M2TS or TS though. Still easier and faster than the mp4 method.

Ah yeah I saw your signature :D

What is you audio setup? Dolby atmos? Is the x700 able to output dolby atmos to the receiver while playing m2ts dolby vision files?

yep, the x700 can output any lossless audio format + Dolby Vision FEL. Subtitles also work. Cinavia free as well

Is it known why tsMuxer has to be used to remux the m2ts file from the disc again to m2ts? Is the m2ts files on the discs wrong in some way?
Is it still required to manually change the output mode to DV or has that been changed in any recent update?

The DV flags are somewhere else for a uhd-bd structure (not in the m2ts file itself).

Which version of tsmuxer should we use in this case? And is it simply adding the original m2ts file into tsmuxer and click ts muxing?

If you use the x700 for HDR10 content as well, then yes you have to turn off DV otherwise this player applies fake DV to any TS or M2TS file (even bluray discs).
Then how do I know if the tsmuxer files are true DV? ------> just look at the player OSD.
Then you could say use MKV container for HDR10/SDR? ----> Well just like tsmuxer, this player only supports TrueHD audio with an AC3 core. :(

It's not really an issue for me since I only use it for DV content and I use my madvr HTPC for SDR/HDR10.
