it depends on which player you use. On the x700/x800m2/Shield the L1 and L2 trims are not working at all in LLDV.

ah, so there's obvious stuff missing

if you want profile 8 DV for TV playback(or any other non-fel device) and your MKV input is profile 7, select: 4-2-1 if you have to convert lossless audio or if not: 4-2-3
if you want DV playback on x700/x800m2/oppo and your MKV input is profile 7, select: 4-3-2 if you want to convert THD or if not: 4-3-4
There are workflows for when your input is bluray disc as well.

if your MKV input is profile 8 or 5, just remux in tsmuxer.

with tsmuxer file + plex on 2018 LG tv:
1- Audio must be AC3 / EAC3 or DTS,DTSHD. DV won't work if the audio is TrueHD.
2- pgs subtitles must not be selected: only external srt works with DV TS

@RESET_9999 how do I rip a Profile 7 FEL Dolby Vision UHD disc that contains 3 or 4 different videos in it (tv series)? I wish to make separate BluRay folders for each episode in tsmuxer. Thanks

good question, and I'm not sure.
I guess Makemkv or bdinfo can list all the mpls files (episodes order) and then you can use tsmuxer, as usual, to make a bdmv folder for each episode.

I used your script to list the mpls files, it basically lists them in the correct order (one episode after the other). Then I imported every playlist separately into tsmuxer and made separate BluRay folders for each episode. Works like a charm! Thank you!

Does anybody have any clever solutions when using a USB HDD on the Sony x800m2?

It seems like a pain to unplug the hard drive, connect to a PC and update the movies, and then reconnect it, etc.

Are there any wifi hard drives or anything to make this process easier and not require unplugging the drive?

The main reason I'm interested in this is for the BDMV support so I don't need to manually enable force subtitles?

@deadchip suggested this. Not sure if he tried.

I would get one that is USB 3.0 or C though. (if your pc support it)

Thanks... I was looking for something more automated (or remotely controlled/switched via network).

Anyways, I still have another week to return my x800m2 to Amazon. I'm learning towards returning it... I know there aren't really any alternatives for FEL playback (besides Oppo) though, but x800m2 has a few issues:

• Dolby Vision doesn't automatically trigger
• Ethernet is only 100 Mbps
• Doesn't support IP network control (for my Control4 system)
• TS/M2TS requires manual forced subtitles and no chapters

Maybe something better will be released in the near future...?

I wouldn’t expect anything better to be released anytime soon, as the focus is basically shifting to streaming platforms.

The manual DV switching “hassle” on the X700/x800m2 is overrated. It takes 3 clicks on the remote, not really that hard at all.

Your only alternative (automatic DV switching and the ability to play DV via USB) is basically Oppo UDP-203. I had one several years ago and sold it. You can’t find Oppo new anymore.

I would stick to the X800m2, it’s a great player for the money. Regarding it’s LAN speed, someone mentioned the possibility of using a Gigabit USB to LAN adapter, but I can’t recall which brand and model.

I heard it is very unstable when working with hard drive, so I no longer want to test it.
Besides, I arranged stuff so that the x700 (now has my usb 3.0 hub plugged in), the hard drive, and the pc's front usb ports are right next to each other and within my reach. So the unplugging/replugging is not that much less convenient compared to pressing a button.

Interesting, I just checked Oppo setting it to Player-led: all the L2 trims are working, but only L1 lower contrast (last one) resulted in visible change on the G2.
