Yea i heard - because you donāt use Exoplayer for demuxing!
Glad to hear you are working on it internally

Donāt take the fact that Iām responding here to mean that we are working on it. I donāt work on any of the clients. I was just watching the MKV spec changes and thought that those here needed to be informed of the implications.
No worries
Iām hoping we can remux into the new standard mkvs or something to make mkvs already obtained usable for DV.
Some good news
Now they can start working also on ExoPlayer:
@ ariela_nesys_it - how is this good news? I donāt understand what any of that stuff means, but admittedly - Iām a layman when it comes to github. Also, who is that person?
It means itās now a defined MKV standard, which means Google may incorporate it into ExoPlayer, which means Plex may eventually have it in their software. I wouldnāt expect it any time soon.
Ah. Well thatās sobering. Hereās hoping by 2021 at any rate! Lol
As a Plex engineer was involved in the discussion of the specification, i would expect that we would see it sooner than later. Right now i think that most people are waiting for MakeMKV and the likes to be ready so there is test material to work with
Correct. Itās hard to do something without a sample or reference point
To be clear: that just means we can then look at it, not that itāll be something that will become immediately available or prioritised over other things
I came here to request the same thing. You have my vote!
Voted!
MakeMKV 1.15.2 was released today with the new DV MKV spec.
So weird that they didnāt state the new DV support specifically in the release notes. I wonder why they didnāt put that in? I realize itās implied, but if users didnāt know DV support was added to the latest Matroska update, theyād be in the dark.
MakeMKV v1.15.2 (20.7.2020 )
Massive internal rewrite, some improvements and small bugfixes
Muxer updated to the latest matroska specification
Advanced usage changes:
Officially on MakeMKVās forums:
1.15.2 Implements the latest method for storing DV metadata (per new spec) and has a fix for invalid layer id (spotted by yusesope). In theory, this should be a āfinal workingā version. Letās see if other tools will pick it upā¦
^^ @PLEX ENGINEERS - LETāS DO THIS ^^
Just as weird as the 1.15.1 release notes not stating support for non-standards compliant DV support.
We already have ripped a sample but there are quite a few layers that need support to work with this.
This is very disheartening to hear.
If we rip a DV disc now, what app can we use to see that DV was actually added? VLC maybe? Plex canāt see it yet of course, but how can we verify that the DV is actually there?
At this time there is no direct way to verify the MKV itself as nothing supports the new standard aside from MakeMKV. We are waiting for MediaInfo to get updated.
That said, the MKV can be dropped into a special version of tsMuxer and it will create a DV compliant transport stream. The TS file can be played back on an Nvidia Shield TV (2019) via Plex.
Awesome, thanks!
