Re: Cannot get Dolby Vision

Yes. The Shield will play the file in DV, but it needs a DV capable player. Emby works, Kodi as well, but no experience myself, Plex is evil…. Also DV needs to be enabled in the settings.

Re: Dolby Vision rips

Also when ripping a lot of times one has no chapters. So when they both are identical, length wise check if one has no chapters. Next time just choose the one that has chapters.

Re: State of the art 4k movies from a technical view

Not a movie as such, but one of the best picture quality I have seen in a long time.

Awaken

Falls in the docu like movies category like Baraka and Samsara.

Re: Error 'Posix error - File name too long'

I am not using a mac, but under Windows that character limitation is for the full path, including the filename. Can imagine that the same rules apply to the mac due to compatibility or otherwise. Just try to shorten the filename or save file first to lets say a MAKEMKV folder on your desktop (shorte...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

Hi, noticed something weird. Title A Quiet Place. A FEL title. When playing the mkv rip on a shield pro with the latest apk from yusesope, I noticed that the lighter scenes are “unstable”. They seem to slightly flicker. The background sometimes has some unstable “pinkish” blocks. This is very notic...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

With the APK from yuse, I can play the DV mkvs on the shield and works like a charm. Hopefully exoplayer will be updated any time soon, so that Emby or other apps can use the DV version. Sorry if I'm misreading, but it's hard to keep up with this. Are you saying profile 7 dv directly ripped with Ma...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

Just to confirm something, this DV included mkv files can only be played back on NVIDIA shield as of right now? I tried using my Oppo 203 and they only played in HDR10, is there anyway to play this on oppo except the whole backup, and which other hardware is able to do this? Do not have a real Oppo...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

Once exoplayer is updated with the new code for DV and other enhancements will this mean that all apps using exoplayer on the Shield will benefit? I am using emby as example or do all apps have to do something as well from their side? That whole side loading at the moment is simply in case you want ...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

Good work so far, using the latest exo player apk uploaded here, tried 1917 and Saving private Ryan, I am getting occasional glitches though on the Shield, this can be like a few frame overlaps, or a full on pause. Can’t say what version of shield experience I am running, but it isn’t supposed to s...

Re: Official Dolby Vision MKV spec support

Thanks jayper. I followed or at least tried to follow this from the beginning, but there are so many technical details, where I had to give up. To be honest, i could imagine that it will be a looong time before you see hardware supporting this way of using DV in mkv, besides the Shield, which uses ...
