Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

When creating DV 8.1 from DV 5 and HDR10 files, is it necessary to match MaxCLL and MaxFALL values from the HDR10 version?

[DruZod]

Hello all, from all my research on this topic, this massive thread seems to be referenced one way or another. Apologies if what I'm about to ask has been asked before, I have tried to search this thread and other places before posting.
I have an LG C6 (2016 Model) OLED TV, latest firmware, I do not have any other external players so I use the internal player via a USB HDD for all my files. I have managed to get a couple of Profile 5 DV files to play in DV this way (no green tint, actually plays). Using MediaInfo on the files, one is dvhe and the other is hev1. And from what I can tell, the frame rate has to be 23.976 fps (I have a 24fps file that refuses to play at all). Obviously they are also MP4.
I want to try and get Profile 8 DV videos to work as the backward compatibility with HDR10 is very useful, however, no matter what I try, I can not get a Profile 8 DV file to play in DV (It either falls back to HDR or just refuses to play).
My question is, does anyone know how to get a Profile 8 DV file to play in DV on the internal player of an LG C6 (or any 2016 OLED model)? Another mini question is would anyone know how to change the frame rate on my 24fps file to 23.976 fps without re-encoding?
Thank you

Hi,
is it possible to remux a mkv with DV in mp4 DV Profil 5** (for LG TV) ?

provided there is no EL, just RPU.

Quick update about the FireTV Stick 4K Max (2021).
It now seems to support CMv4.0 metadata. I just got an update to FireOS 7.6.0.3 (PS7603/3110).

Hopefully it was planned, since Amazon's new shows seem to use CMv4.0.

Nice...
1- does L1 now behaves like the Shield and C2 internal apps? (low contrast L1 has no effect on the x800m2)

2- Does it still have grey letterbox for cropped DV content?

3- Can it send LPCM 7.1 audio? (turns out the C2 can't passthrough LPCM 7.1 with the internal apps)

L1 is the same as before, it still has grey letterbox bars.
I don't know about the audio.

Though I thought the C2 internal player used to clip on that high contrast shot?
Now the C2 is just slightly brighter all the time, but it behaves the same as the Fire stick.

it was caused by the old firmware. Now the internal player no longer clip high contrast (clip less than the x800m2 overall as well).
so no effect at all with low contrast L1 just like before?

Low contrast works fine, as it always has.

[RESET_9999]

thanks, only 45CAD, so cheap for what it can do. Think I'm going to buy one and hope LPCM 7.1 works (or even better truehd mat)

yes the new 7.1 EC3 audio encoder does that and you can ignore it. see: viewtopic.php?p=127616#p127616
Beware that the new version of the script auto-mux to TS. And it will also keep the lossless audio as track #1 so dont forget to switch to the audio track #2 on plex or the native lg player otherwise you"ll get HDR10 because plex will have to convert the audio on the fly and plex apparently cant do it without breaking DV. I hope one day, PLEX will add DV support for when it does "direct stream" instead of "direct play". This way, we wouldn't have to convert lossless audio to EC3 7.1 since plex can do it on the fly.

If you don't like the new auto-muxing behavior, it can be turned off by editing the bat file.

Have a quick question I haven't been able to find a good answer to. I have ripped my Dolby Vision discs to my NAS. To watch them, I'm currently just using plex on a shield. But the red push issue is annoying, and no FEL support. Also, I have an atmos system

It sounds like either an Oppo clone or an X800m2 is the way to go. Is one better than the other? Also, what is the reason everyone uses the Sony instead of the Panasonic UB820? Is it not able to play files from wifi/usb?

Thanks
