Hi, Currently, Plex on Nvidia Shield 2019 is able to play single layer Dolby Vision on .mp4 and .ts files. Recently, a method has been discovered which allows to get that into a MKV container as well with the codec MpegH HEVC Main10@L5.1 (dvhe.07.06 BL+EL+RPU FEL). Is there any chance to add suppor…

Yes. Fake 4k and Fake HDR are awful marketing problems for UHD right now. That said, I understand that some cinematographers do not necessarily like the Rec 2020 color space or that level of luminosity in their films. HDR is not the only consideration. But, marketing for these movie studios can’…

I also rip UHD’s into MKV containers and do not re-compress the file. MakeMKV is now able, as of 1.15.3, to construct dual layer DV, but PLEX cannot recognize it, yet. Now that it’s possible to rip both Dual-Layer DV with object-based audio in an MKV container, how long until PLEX can support it? …

Could I just clear something up. 4K movies on disc are compressed already. The data rate of a an uncompressed 4K movie is around 3-4Gb/s depending on bit depth etc. 4K movies on disc are anywhere between 80Mb/s and 140Mb/s. When people say that they rip the UHD ‘uncompressed’ what they should say i…

Thanks for the correction. You are correct as H.265 is still a compression. I edited my prior comment. Regardless, now that MakeMKV can do DL-DV, hopefully PLEX can open this can of worms and let loose on DV playback for PLEX Pass Members. Of course, correcting a few bugs, like Hub management on…

No problem. I had noticed some others here had said the same thing about UHD discs.

[image] [image] [image] IT WORKS The very first time I started a DV movie it showed the badge for about 5 seconds and then the screen flashed and the HDR badge came up instead. I exited out and went back in and it stayed DV for a good 15 seconds, but I had to get to a meeting for work so that…

This is awesome! I can’t wait to get home and test this. All my discs are ready to go into box and collect dust now. PS. Plex should start tagging HDR10 and Dolby Vision movies as such instead of tagging like how it is now, 4K UHD, which is redundant anyway.

@Cannikin - please clarify what platform you are running this on?
