Re: So now what? Purchased flashed Pioneer BD, Purchased MakeMKV, so how to convert and playback?

Thanks so much! You may want to consider adding a second parity drive option for your Unraid. That will allow up to two drive failures before any data loss occurs. Oftentimes the stress of rebuilding from a lost drive can cause another drive to fail. My parts list: LSI SAS3008 SATA/SAS 8 port contro...

Re: So now what? Purchased flashed Pioneer BD, Purchased MakeMKV, so how to convert and playback?

That looks like a nice rig. I've been thinking about what I might do when it's time to upgrade my 10 year old Unraid Server. Can you give us a list of the parts you used?

Thanks!

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Not so sure it's everything we want.. "Dolby Vision profile 5 and profile 8 both work. Profile 7 as used on Bluray discs, is currently converted on-the-fly by chosen mode by libdovi 209 due to a bug in the upstream proprietary code." https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/coreelec-and-dolby-visi...

Re: Looking for a player suggestion

The Nvidia Shield TV can play just about anything including DV, HDR10, TrueHD, and DTS-MA with KODI. It doesn't offer fulll DV FEL support, but not much really does, and you won't miss it. As a bonus you can also get apps for Netflix, Hulu, AppleTV, Disney+ etc that will run on it. If you do go with...

Re: Mac OS 14.1 and Makemkv 1.17.5

What kind of an error message are you getting for the failed titles? I have no issues at all with Makemkv on my Mac, but I've not updated to OSX 14 yet.

Re: Cannot get Dolby Vision

Well now... Dune seems pretty specific about both P7 tracks being sent to the TV.. This would be what we have been waiting for... From their site: Dolby Vision profile 7 FEL Dune HD media center supports direct playback of Dolby Vision profile 7 FEL double-track and double-layer files. This is the m...

Dolby Vision with JustPlayer on Nvidia ShieldTV- Augmented with Nova Player

I'd prefer to use Kodi for Dolby Vision playback, but official support is still MIA. JustPlayer does a good job with playback, but it lacks any network access capabilities (SMB, etc) or scraping... There is an option. Nova Player, that does scraping, and has network access options, will allow you to...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Don't worry about 12 bit color. Your TV can't handle it anyway. According to this guy, we haven't even reached the potential of 10 bit yet.

Re: Good MacOS App for UHD mkvs?

I"ve never had any pausing issues with UHD disks and VLC on any of my macs. Are you playing them across a network, or are they stored on the mac that you are playing them on?

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.3

make sure the Plex app on your Shield is updated. that's the most common issues I’m on: PMS 1.21.0.3711 Plex client app 8.11.0.22186 Should be adequate, no? Yeah that looks good. Have you double checked with mediainfo that the files do include DV? Also what is your display mode set on for the Shiel...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

I'm pretty sure that the firetv Cube doesn't support the dolby vision profile 7 used on UHD Bluray disks. The ShieldTV is about the only device that does. Hi, if I want a device to play 4k remux (hdr10 and dolby vision) and 1080 remux, between a fire tv cube and a shield tv pro, which one do you rec...

That's probably a good way to destroy your disk and your drive. Maybe try this instead. https://www.amazon.com/CD-Stomper-Pro-Labeling-System/dp/B00002SA8D FOTREXTDISC1.jpg Success!!
