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.

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.

With all due respect, I did not say that Kodi was a streaming solution !!!
