Atak,

I have trying in vain to encode DV movies with RB, using custom x265 profiles, but they are just not compatible with my LG TV.

Please refer to some of my recent posts on this subject.

From what I've discovered, it seems that LG's & some Samsung TV's will not display DV that is in .mkv format, it will switch to HDR instead.

I downloaded a couple of LG DV test samples, which are in .ts format, and they play & display the Dolby Vision logo on the screen (just like HDR does)

Now, RB ONLY output's x265 in .mkv.....

Could you please consider adding .mp4 & maybe .ts, or .m2ts as output file options for x265, for those of us who probably need it for their viewing pleasure.

UPDATED with NEW INFO ...

I have persisted with this, and very early this morning I had a much needed Win...

So again, I would like to repeat my request for more x265 output file options for these DV files.

So if you will, Mr Snajpera, could you PLEASE add the ability to output x265 files as .mp4, "mp4box" is already part of RB, and is available when using x264,

and more importantly, as .m2ts for x265 DV files, "tsmuxer" is also a part of RB, and is also available when using x264 (as AVCHD), but with x265 would be better to just output directly as .m2ts !!

I'm probably going to open a can of worms, but here goes. I don't think Atak needs to support .ts files. He supports mkv which is the preferred container format by far and RB not support Dolby Vision yet. Just because your TV is does not understand Dolby Vision in a MKV container should not mean Atak needs to support a different hardly used container. My Sony Z9D also does not support DV in any kind file, only through a device that passes the Dolby Vision signal to it, such as a UHD disc player or nVidia Shield. TVs age and technology marches on. At some point, your TV needs to become a monitor as it's smart features age and is not compatible with the newer technology.

So do yourself a favor and get an nVidia shield and run Kodi, Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, or even VLC. The nVidia shield is one of the best smart video and audio platforms around. It's one very few that will pass through TrueHD Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

That's a can of worms alright

Where there's a will, there's a way.

TBH, I doubt that Atak will go down the DV path either...the question has been asked many times, and still nothing, like SMDegrain.

I don't think my TV is too old yet...

I really can't utilise 7.1 audio anyway, due to my home theater setup.

You won't convince me to do all that streaming stuff, either.

If it doesn't work off a USB stick, I'm not interested.

====================================

I just checked how much a nVidia Shield is, the "good" one is around A$350....there's NO WAY.

I've tried Kodi, and didn't like that...so please stop suggesting these "streaming" options, it falls on deaf ears.

I haven't got a server system running 24/7....just not worth the expense, electricity cost's too much as it is, to me that's just such a waste of my money

All sorted, without the need of any streaming device.

Kodi is not a streaming solution. It plays back the file as it is without transcoding.

For anyone interested in playing with DV stuff, see https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/21-...1st-2023/21471. There are now a couple of non-Shield devices that support Dolby Vision with the new alpha. I'm still running my trusty old Odroid N2 but once it passes on, I'll definitely invest in a DV-capable box.

[chainring]

FWIW, Kodi 21 will have native support for DV in MKV.

And, as Boulder wrote, Kodi isn't a streaming solution. There's add-ons to make it such, but those are not supported by the Kodi team. Kodi is a local file player, first and foremost. Whether that file is local to a NAS, a PC/Mac or a USB connected hard drive, that's the extent of Kodi's streaming.

The simpliest way to stream DV Files is a Nvidea Shield Pro 2019 + PLEX.

I have to open the avisynth window, click into any setting box e.g. Resize -> OFF to get the OK of avisynth window clickable, exit this window by OK. Afterwards the Done-Button is clickable again.

Edit:
When changing the output filename / path AFTER this workaround DONE gets disabled again.

Today i noticed an UI update (chapters, subtitles,..) but this long running bug still drives me crazy.
I just want to ask kindly if this could be fixed anytime in the future or am I the only one with this issue?

So does this happen with every Job ??

You asked about this quite some time ago, and Reiner suggested a work around

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...58#post1953258

I too, have this happen randomly, and I do what Reiner suggested...I think it's just combo of the video file, or the script, or, who knows.

Might even be a free space thing, Temp folder....

Curious you mentioned a new update, and sure enough there is one.

[TDS]

Can't really make out why these functions have been added.

A bit random, I haven't read anywhere where this has been suggested or asked for, when I think more "Container" options should be added for x265 output files...oh well.

I can sort of understand the "Chapters" option, but what's the "Attachments" all about ??

[Atak_Snajpera]

I asked for that...

[TDS]

Well, so now I know why I didn't see any posts about asking for this .

So in the "Attachments", is where you can now add "Covers", but what about the "Fonts", where & what does that change ??

You probably also didn't see any posts asking for Distributed Encoding in the past...

Here is good example containing three custom fonts which are used by included subtitles (.ass)

You're right, but that's a long time ago, and the best thing that you could have done...no one else has come close, or even tried....

So the Fonts are for subtitles, then ?? Just add fonts to the new Fonts folder ??

[Atak_Snajpera]

No! That folder contains font for RipBot264 application. It has nothing to do with subtitles.

Now you can create subtitles using your own fonts.
You first must prepare proper .ass/.ssa subtitle and then you add proper font file (*.ttf) as attachments to container

In that example it looks like this

I always use .srt subs, the LG TV does not support pgs types.

I have added some different .ttf's to Fonts, and I don't understand what it's suppose to do....

[Atak_Snajpera]

Nevermind. Others who create text based subtitles .ass/.ssa (so called FanSub groups) with custom fonts will understand this feature.

Ok, well thanks for the explanation, and now everybody else knows what it's for.

[TDS]

So dare I ask, what are the chances of getting different container output files for x265 ??

[Atak_Snajpera]

You can already automatically remux .mkv to any container after finished job.
1) Enable in settings "RUN COMMAND SCRIPT AFTER FINISHED JOB"
2) Open "Job finished successfully.cmd" file in notepad and add last line

3) save

Once job is completed that script will remux mkv to mp4 and save log.txt file.( may be handy if you want to check why file was not created by fffmpeg.exe)

You can use the same method to extract/inject DV to video file.

Ok, well that sounds like a plan, but what about remuxing to .m2ts with tsmuxer (or whatever) ?

Should be able to use x265 command to inject rpu.bin.
