The best way to play FEL titles is using a physical player (for instance Oppo) with M2TS/TS or BDMV/ISO files. When you create a mkv with Dolby Vision from a UHD disc, is it possible to reverse the process and create a Blu-ray structure from a mkv file and not lose any Dolby Vision information?

Converting can be done with https://github.com/justdan96/tsMuxer

How to switch from Dolby Vision profile 8 to 5
I have this file that has: HDR format : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.08.06, BL+RPU, HDR10 compatible / SMPTE ST 2094 App 4, Version 1, HDR10+ Profile B compatible. I just want to have a file that can be played properly on my TV. A file with: HDR: Dolby Vision, version 1.0, dvhe.05.06, Bl+RPU is reproduced correctly, so I think the first is DV profile 8, the second profile 5. How do I go from 8 to 5 in mp4? Maybe I am doing it wrong and they are not the right profiles, you tell me what I should do.

There's a guy in other forum of my country where I'm in who claims that the FireTV Stick 4K (2018 version) can now playback Dolby Vision FEL titles.
As far as I know there's no FireTV that could playback FEL files using the EL layer. From what I have guessed and taking into account that the guy is basing his claim on viewings with naked eye, this device is playing FEL titles as MEL (without using EL layer), what already has a great quality as is.

Could anybody confirm or deny this statement?

Thanks!
He's probably talking about quietvoid's new kodi build that can play P7 as P8. Read just a couple comments above.

Thanks for your answer, but I think he's playing directly with Plex.

He says that before, when he tried to play with Firestick FEL titles could only get a black screen.

My 2018 4K stick hasn't been updated in years but it never could play FEL, blank screen.
The 2021 4K Max behaves the same, with latest firmware.

Thanks for your answer @quietvoid, this guy says that before, when he tried to play with Firestick FEL titles could only get a black screen, as you confirmed, but now It could play FEL titles with the TV Dolby Vision Logo enabled.

As I said before I think this device is playing FEL titles as MEL (without using EL layer) but... could It be a good time to update your ancient 2018 Firestick and give it a try?

Ok, of course, but i'm intrigued why are you so sure and categorical. It's because new firmwares are worst in certain aspects?

In the past I've had issues with stutters caused by not having enough free RAM.
The default launcher seems to use more memory, and I still have a custom leaner launcher installed.
I don't have any issue on the 2021 version.

Anyways, the real reason is that I'm keeping it old just to test if behaviour changes in Dolby Vision playback are caused by the TV or device.
Knowing that the device isn't getting updated, I know the TV updates make a difference.

Nowadays I have no more use for the 2018 stick, as the 2021 is better in every way as long as I use Kodi.

Perfectly clear, I understand.
Therefore, we could assure that if the 2021 4K Max with latest firmware doesn't support FEL DV, the older 2018 shouldn't do it.

Thanks again.

What about kodi as launcher on your android builds?

Looking to get this version back for testing purposes. It no longer exists online anywhere... Link above is dead, as expected it is ancient. Been following this post for years, just never commented and apparently am unable to PM as a new member. Much obliged for anyone who can assist, thanks.

Thanks for your prompt reply and thrilled you still have this! While I ran -v on this and confirmed it is 1.0.0 and while running it task manager shows 64bit, I am certain there was a version _64 which that when you ran -h it had settings absent from this version. I believe it had dv 8 and --dv-bl-compatible-id flags while this version does not, likewise it could only be called in cmd by mp4muxer_64 not mp4muxer. Do you still have this version buried somewhere as well? Your help is much appreciated!
