tsMuxer Open Source

On a more personal note, I'd be interested to know if the media player app in the 2022 (and 2023) Panasonic TV's supports playback of stereo/multi-channel FLAC, either as a .flac file or when muxed within the .mkv container with video...


Cheers. FLAC unsupported in MKV but works with stereo flac files. Multi-channel straight up froze the player and turned the TV off.

You'd think Panasonic would mention that their media player app is able to support 2-ch Flac within their TV's specifications.

By contrast, my 2016 LG televisions media player app can't play native flac files but it can play 2-ch and 6-ch flac when it's muxed within the .mkv container along with video - Neither of which is mentioned in the user manual :eek:

I'm one of those people who often uses my TV to play music files rather than switching on my amps and media streamer (OPPO)...

Hmmm... The APK file for what device?

APK file and nowadays Split "APKS" is what Android uses. As for what apk https://www.google.com/search?q=apk+for+android+sony+tvs+to+play+dolby+vision+profile+5

Yeah I was surprised, maybe it's a somewhat recent addition, the multichannel playback is hit and miss, 3 channel can sometimes work, 7.1 channel is a no go. Much prefer the Dolby picture overall, probably the majority of likely due to the picture profile the TV loads when playing it back.

Hello, Everybody!
I hope my post will be somewhat useful, coz I couldn't find out an answer as to how to make Sony UBP-X800M2 trigger Dolby Vision (DV) input when playing an original m2ts file from the BD 4k DV disk using a USB flashdrive. Long story short. I run the m2ts file though tsMuxeR GUI git-2c58285 ("tsMuxeR 2022-08-14 Nightly Portable Windows 64-bit") from m2ts into the same m2ts only de-clicking unnecessary audio tracks and, Bingo!, x800m2 indicates Dolby Vision as input, while for the non-modified file it indicates just HDR. It was Uncharted 4k uhd disk. tsMuxeR shows two video tracks: 4k and 1080p for both original m2ts and after remuxing. If I could feedback anything more for the purpose of developing this wonderful utility, please ask. I'll do my best.

Keep on using your lovely program for all this time! Recently figured out what is getting changed by the TSmuxer when I just "translate" ISO's m2ts into m2ts/ts on usb/lan folder for my sony Sony UBP-X800M2:

For the first file DV is not trigger on the player even though it is triggered when played with physical Blu-ray disk. Second file triggers DV perfectly. So, please, never remove this change for "HDR format" info :D

Which git build are you using?

[Overrighter]

Which git build are you using?

Always used git-f254deb. Today tried git-72d4b4e for the newer avatar 4k uhd re-release with dolby vision (collector's edition) - worked perfectly as well.

[deank]

Well AFAIK PLEX supports what the TV supports internally and it cannot force support for a non-supported format.

PLEX is more practical than TVs internal app anyway, and I would be VERY happy if my C2 supported DV mkv in PLEX but it doesn't.

I recently added Dolby Vision support to my version of Movian for Android and it is perfect for testing DV/HDR10+/HDR/SDR, etc. in mkv/mp4/m2ts.

Since it can also tamper with the hevc bytestream you can remove/force DV/HDR10+ like some other apps do. I'm mentioning this only because it is about Android/AndroidTV and can be used to test your TV/receiver capabilities.

Just fwiw :) and happy holidays!

p.s. You can find Movian here if you want to test: movian.deanbg.com

After remuxing movie (Bob Marley- One Love 2024) with tsmuxer Gui (from 05.12.2024) Dolby Atmos sound is not synchronized with the movie and subtitles. The sound on the Bluray disc without remux works flawlessly! Has anyone else encountered this problem?

[von Suppé]

I don't know what you exactly imported in tsMuxer, but when importing the proper playlist (*.mpls file from BD's native PLAYLIST folder), IME certain issues can be avoided.
You can use BDInfo to see what mpls points to what m2ts file(s).

I import 00001.mpls in tsmuxer gui. After remuxing movie (Bob Marley- One Love 2024) with tsmuxer Gui (from 05.12.2024) Dolby Atmos sound is not synchronized with the movie and subtitles.

[ocean]

Hi malimuc, try this test to verify the problem, extract the tracks with DGDemux then remux them with tsMuxer, adding them following the initial Bluray scheme, finally test to see if you have synchrony with Atmos audio.

https://www.rationalqm.us/dgdemux/dgdemux.html

[von Suppé]

Yes, DGDemux is the best BD demuxer in my book too.

Also, when using tsMuxer to mux to BD (ISO or folder structure), type value 524280 in the "45 KHz clock" window (Blu-ray tab). It's said to be vital for a proper BD mux and it indeed proofed to be working for the BD remuxes I did.

Which version of TSmuxer GUI are you using? If its an old version it probably can't accept Dolby TrueHD streams that don't include a mandatory lossy Dolby Digital 'core' (companion) stream.

I thought I'd just call out to anyone active here that tsMuxer is no longer under active development. The final build is available from here: 2.7.0 (https://github.com/justdan96/tsMuxer/releases/tag/2.7.0)

[jcdr428]

Hi @justdan96, thank you for all your work.
Hopefully there will be a volunteer to maintain a fork.

[SeeMoreDigital]

Many thanks to everyone who took the time to bring this wonderfull application to this level.

Personally I can't think of any improvements that can be made to it.

Very nice work indeed ;)

Hello justdan96!

Many thanks for all the work that you and everyone involved put into this outstanding one-of-its-kind software.
It is and will be indispensable to me and probably to many others for many, many years to come.

Thank you!

Another one that adds to the thanks for all the great work done to provide us with this indispensable tool. Hopefully it can be continued in its development by others.

Thank you very much justdan96 and all the team that invested so many hours in the development!

The final build fails to open for me on macOS 15.4.1:

"tsMuxerGUI.app" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

[Selur]

@glc650: both command line and gui work fine here. Did you call:
xattr -rc "Path to ssMuxeRGUI.app"
to remove all those quarantine flags macOS adds when the source isn't registered/paying?
(Apples habit of telling the user something is broken, when the problem is a flag it itself added is the reason, is hilarious in a bad way.)

Wow. That would have definitely spared a lot of time messing around with Gatekeeper while prepping the latest AviSynth+ release.

It's even worse (https://forward-in-code.blogspot.com/2024/11/sequoia-and-downloads.html):
If you unpack a tar archive which has this attribute, all the unpacked files inherit the attribute. If an unpacked file is an executable and you try to execute it, you get the message ‘Operation not permitted’ and the execution fails.

So it's good to know that there is indeed a way of fixing downloaded stuff without having to suggest users disable part of the OS' security. That's just a bad look, even if the feature in question is more frustrating than helpful for anyone that knows what they're doing.

The funniest part is that aparently curl bypasses it entirely, because it doesn't set the attribute; web browsers do, but a literal downloading application does not (although I wonder how long until Apple starts shipping a custom version which does).

[Lucius Snow]

Hi all,

I have this error "TRUE-HD stream (track 3): bad frame detected at position... Resync stream." when trying to mux a Dolby TrueHD MLP to make a Blu-Ray. Any ideas?

Thanks.

EDIT: The old version from 2014 doesn't display theses errors. Why?

[MrVideo]

Does it have a core AC3. tsMuxer doesn't support coreless Dolby TrueHD

[Lucius Snow]

Yes, it does.

[MrVideo]

Then there might be a bug, which isn't going to get fixed any time soon.

[DanDare1983]

I know tsmuxer isn't being updated anymore but I have a couple of simple questions hopefully someone can answer. Firstly when I add a blu-ray playlist with multiple m2ts files (seamless branched discs) when I check the resulting stream folder I only see one m2ts instead of 2 or 3. I understand that when m2ts files are joined together audio frames need to be dropped in order for the m2ts files to sync up? Does tsmuxer do this? Also I like to create a simple main movie of my blu-rays, does tsmuxer do this perfectly fine or is there any additional setting i need to check. I know that when I add an m2ts file and not a mpls tsmuxer creates chapters if I don't check the 'no chapters tab'. Finally i've noticed that when I add a movie with dolby atmos the atmos track is out of sync, to get round this I use the embedded ac3 core which is fine. Is this a known problem or is it just me? Thanks again

[taurusus]

Hi DanDare1983 tsmuxer can create only one m2ts file, it is not necessary to separate audio from video, it can assemble with all audio and subtitles and I did not notice any desynchronization in the Atmos track.

[DanDare1983]

@taurusus when you have multiple m2ts files you will get overlapping frames. Tools like eac3to and DGdemux will reduce frames in order for the m2ts files to sync up. In regards to the Atmos TrueHD track I ran it through DGdemux and the resulting audio file was in perfect sync with the video so it's obviously done something because it's now in perfect sync.

[ocean]

with dolby atmos the atmos track is out of sync, to get round this I use the embedded ac3 core which is fine. Is this a known problem or is it just me? Thanks again

Hi DanDare1983, I'm only replying to you about the Atmos track for seamless branched discs:

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=2022510#post2022510

[DanDare1983]

Hi Ocean, just checked the link and I can confirm that by extracting the 'full' truehd track with dgdemux and adding it to tsmuxer it works fine. Just a quick question if you can help....I see options such as "Do not change SEI and VUI data" and the box "Continually insert SPS/PPS" both unchecked. Do I need to check these? I'm not sure what they're actually for?

What version of tsMuxer are you using? I don't see any sync problem.

[DanDare1983]

Hellboy
I'm using the latest 2.7.0 release. Its weird because i tried another blu-ray folder with TrueHD Dolby atmos and that one worked fine. I've also just realised that tsMuxer is no longer being developed and that the latest 2.70 release is final. Thats a shame as i think its a handy tool to have.

[Hellboy.]

Maybe the disk have a delay in the audio and tsMuxer doesn't see it.

[DanDare1983]

The actual disk in question was actually fine when i run it through dvdfab so i don't know whats wrong with it. Do you know how well the latrst version deals with UHD 4K disks? I'd like to make a simple main movie into Blu-ray folder with them too.

[Columbo]

Regarding your async with THD Atmos, something in the process has to correct for the gaps between the M2TS files. When you used DGDemux, it did so. Perhaps your process is using tools that don't support gaps correction for THD, which can be tricky.

[DanDare1983]

Hey Columbo, the disc in question only had one m2ts file and not multiple m2ts files. I can understand sync issues with movies with multiple m2ts but not one. I knew by running the THD file through dgdemux the audio would be fine. Which did confuse me was that other THD tracks work fine so i'm not sure whats going on. Whilst wer'e on the subject of multiple m2ts files and gap correction, does tsMuxer work well with them kind of discs (seamless branched discs)? I've been leaving them for the time being and focusing primarily on discs with one m2ts file.
