Thank you for your great dedication to this new release, as always.

[coopzr]

Can you please let me know how the upgrade to cmv4.0 works on your latest beta?

I thought that you couldn't replace the L1 from cmv2.9 to cmv4.0. I don't have a clue how this works.

When should this be used? (Only when the content doesn't exceed display capabilities, or always?)

Are there any downsides or weird behaviour?

[Kuler087]

It doesn’t replace the metadata; it simply generates a CMV 4.0 block with level 9.
L2 will then be ignored at playback, but if the content stays within your target TV brightness, it won’t matter. In that case, you avoid CMV 2.9 black crush and the 4000-nits MDL overdimming issues.

So this is essentially a quick workaround to fix CMV 2.9 playback, rather than generating new metadata from scratch. As you know, CoreELEC will most likely get this feature soon, which is even bette, nothing to process manually before watching a movie.

Workflow 1, skip 2nd input and select ''u''

So essentially, it changes the RPU version to 4.0. It keeps the same old levels and adds the L9 level.

So it's essentially the old levels in a newer container.

L2 is ignored by the player because L2 is always ignored in cmv4.0.

Is that right?

[Kuler087]

Yes

L2 will be ignored if the TV supports cmv4.0

[coopzr]

In a normal cmv4.0 metadata with no mid tone offset trim, do video players use L3?

If they use it: what happens if it is removed?

If they don't use it: what is the point of the automatic data?

These questions are assuming no mid tone offset trim and only the automatic data generated by the algorithm.

[Kuler087]

Of course, the player uses L3 and L1 together.

I did many L3 test files here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...usp=drive_link

and many real scene comparisons here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...iSlcdMiy2ka0mf

[coopzr]

So that would imply that upgrading to cmv4 (which does not generate L3) would be inferior to generating it, right?

[Kuler087]

yes but not for content that is under your display peak brightness

Hmm. I don't see "u" as an option listed in workflow 1 (version 3.1.1). Is there a newer beta than 3.1.1?

I tried "u" anyway can it generates this, still a CM2.9 FEL. What am I missing?:

This new option was added to the beta yesterday. It seems every time I release a new stable, I get a new idea the next day...

Awesome I'll try the new beta. Thank you!

I've done a thread search on heere and checked the Git but I still don't understand where DEE.exe(?) or the DEE folder is or how to install it. Is it part of the much larger Tools package? Also, does the new FEL functionality mean that I no longer need to convert to 8.1?

DEE is a paidware, and you just have to put the whole DEE folder into the dovi_scripts Tools folder.

Also, does the new FEL functionality mean that I no longer need to convert to 8.1?

Not really because:
DEE does hevc re-encoding (lossy) and the P7 to P8 doesnt re-encode (lossless).

The FEL encoding workflow can encode any DV video, but it is mostly intended for 12bit mezzanine file (prores or jpeg 2000).

I can't get 3-1 to work for some reason. I tried using the latest beta .bat, I've tried updating the tools, changing the DIR DoVi_Scripts to DoVi.Scripts, etc. It always gets stuck at this line:

Frame 588 complete. Last frame: 0.534 seconds. ETA: 33:47:46.130

But the completed frame will be different.

Here's the full code from my last attempt: https://pastebin.com/LJdD6Pwe

I had those issues before on my Windows 11 PC, and I have no idea how it corrected itself. It seems it is related to the gpu drivers version, Windows update, and cm_analyze...

[ac777103]

just checking my understanding of the new CMV4 upgrade option via workflow 1. Are there any negative effects vs the vanilla 2.9 playback, or only potential benefits? I guess this will work equally for both MEL and FEL? Trying to think if there is a reason not to do this for all my 2.9 files.
