Re: MakeMKV 1.15.4

Yes, you caught the problem. mkv with DV dual layer -> no player available, even not the Nvidia Shield (just DV single layer). mp4 with DV dual layer -> I can confirm that my "UBK90" is playing it correctly from USB, but mp4 -> no HD Audio for enthusiasts. mp4 with DV single layer -> my T...

Re: MakeMKV 1.15.4

interesting, i did not realise there was a limitation with the Shield Pro not being able to play dual layer DV MKV's. I thought I was getting the same experience a blu-ray player would give and that I had an end-game set-up :shock: So how does the MP4 compare on screen? Is it looking much different?...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.3

Ah, ok, many thanks - that is there, so I guess Plex is the issue - it’s not seeing the DV, just HDR, even after today’s update. Bummer! No issues here with Plex! Have you tried restarting the movie a few times? Are you on latest Plex beta? (not sure if DV playback is still in beta) Easiest way I'v...

Re: MakeMKV 1.15.4

eh :? you wanted to know which player plays DV MKV on your OLED TV, you got the answer, no?

MP4 doesn't support TrueHD 7.1, so no Atmos :|

MKV provides the best of everything the UHD disc has to offer, Dolby Vision and Atmos, and only the Shield Pro plays it. Good luck!

Re: MakeMKV 1.15.4

:roll: I couldn't read anywhere that Shield 2019 Pro is playing mkv with dual Layer DV. I've only read a lot about problems e.g. with color representation. I first try out a new Bluray Player (UBK90) if it can play .m2ts or mp4 dual Layer DV from USB. If you have dual layer mkv's you will need to u...

Re: MakeMKV 1.15.4

Do you know which player can handle mkv with DV to play on my OLED TV? 2019 Shield For the sake of not making the same mistake I did... focus on the 2019 Shield Pro. I purchased the Shield tube thinking it would be the last Plex client I ever need, and it was nothing but trouble. Finally sucked it ...

Re: MakeMKV 1.15.4

You can play DV MKV's from the Plex app on the 2019 Shield TV. This forum is a great resource, you'll find all the guides to convert rips with makemkv and get them playing on your TV.

1.15.4 is out now folks, there's no need to jump through hoops anymore :D I'm just running my dual layer MKV's through it and a single layer DV MKV comes out nicely the other end :mrgreen:

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.3

He will get a better quality picture playing back on his LG than on the shield, LG C7, C8 and C9 support dual track mp4 also. How so? I've watched several DV MKV titles streaming from Plex via Shield Pro on my LG B7 and I'm blown away by the picture quality, but you're saying it could be even bette...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.3

I just thought about buying makemkv, now I am advised to spend my money on DVDFab :roll: that's a shame, i like makemkv :P so there is no easy way from makemkv (with DV) to convert in a mp4 DV for LG :oops: then it is probably cheaper to buy a LG Bluray player and to rebuy my Samsung.. Buy an Nvidi...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.3

Reboot the app - kill the app process and then start the app again - fixed the problem for me. It seems that the Plex Android client app caches playback setting of files previously played (that is my guess). Renaming the mkv file name also works. Yeah also thought of this one, since there are days ...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.3

Hi, I have lot of MKVs that I made in the past with MKVToolnix keeping Dolby Vision layer as a second track (in the hope it could be handled some day), I've tried with the latest version of MakeMKV but it doesn't recognize it, any ideas? You should just be able to open that .mkv in 1.15.3 let MakeM...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.3

Right, and the couple posts right after that showed that it doesn't really work if you start with an mkv that contains the original BL and EL layers in separate tracks. I'm not sure if it's supposed to or if it's just a bug, but it doesn't seem to be the case at the moment. Although, if the method ...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.3

I've tried creating BR structure with tsmuxer 2.6.12 but when I try to open with MakeMKV it says Failed to open disc. Looks like it was a problem with TSMuxer version, I'm using nightly build now and the bluray structure created is now recognized by MakeMKV. That's a result, thanks for the tip
