Moreje 14 Posted August 29, 2024 Posted August 29, 2024 Hello, do you think Dolby Vision will be available for playback in emby for LG ? My DV movies are detected as HDR.... no color issue, but one says it could be the case... thank you
rbjtech 4838 Posted August 29, 2024 Posted August 29, 2024 (edited) DV playback on the LG Client needs to be via the MP4 container. MKV will not work with DV and will fallback to HDR10. The LG hardware plays DV/MKV without issue via a Shield, FireTV or suitable DV playback device attached via HDMI. Edited August 29, 2024 by rbjtech 1
Moreje 14 Posted August 29, 2024 Author Posted August 29, 2024 ok, so ? you mean it should be possible?
Solution muiz 13 Posted August 30, 2024 Solution Posted August 30, 2024 (edited) Yes its possible. I dont know how you get your media. But this works for Windows : DDVT Tool Manual demux from MKV to MP4 And if you use apps like SABnzbd, Radarr, Sonarr : arr-scripts It will make a Mp4 from a MKV And then LG will play DolbyVision fine Edited August 30, 2024 by muiz 1
Moreje 14 Posted August 30, 2024 Author Posted August 30, 2024 (edited) thank you, i will test these scripts!!! and let you know!! EDIT: hum, I think I need updates I've installed the scripts on my Sonarr container (Linux Host) But now I'm blocked because I don't find how to use it and make sonnarr detect DV mkv and auto convert them into DV mp4.... is there something to configure manually?

And it works perfect. Before that i used the DDVT tool. Also did the trick. But i like automatic. Let me know if you need any help. And they both have also their own pages to ask for help.
Moreje 14 Posted August 30, 2024 Author Posted August 30, 2024 yes, I also want it auto.... but to be honnest I can't find how to use these scripts within sonarr..... I effectively need help

muiz 13 Posted August 30, 2024 Posted August 30, 2024 (edited) I used the script in the beginning with Sonarr SMA. But im using SABNZBD now. So i switched to that. Its basicly the same as https://github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/arr-scripts/blob/main/sonarr/readme.md After you did this there will be a file called : SMA.ini In there change MKV to MKV -> MKV to MP4 With wich app you download your media? Edited August 30, 2024 by muiz
Moreje 14 Posted August 30, 2024 Author Posted August 30, 2024 my media are downloaded with transmission I check your post and refs and come back later ! thank you for your help

Moreje 14 Posted August 30, 2024 Author Posted August 30, 2024 (edited) I've found a SMA readme.... i'm trying to understand it... Edited August 30, 2024 by Moreje
Moreje 14 Posted August 30, 2024 Author Posted August 30, 2024 configuration is really hard.... the doc in not clear on what each script is doing... also: is it possible to run the script only if DV is detected? not for every imported media?

Moreje 14 Posted August 31, 2024 Author Posted August 31, 2024 thank you for all these details! and what about script triggering? do you convert every media you download, are you able to trigger only DV medias, and how do you do that?

bjjones2 0 Posted September 6, 2024 Posted September 6, 2024 Was about to post about this problem with hybrid DV/HDR10 files I was also having falling back to HDR and sure enough the file that worked was in MP4 and the one that falls back to HDR10 is a MKV. When investigating I found that either plays correctly on my iPad via the iOS Emby app and I'm wondering since the issue seems well identified and app specific is it going to be fixed to play correctly in either container in an forthcoming updated LG App ? Don't want to start mkv->mp4 converting if it's going to be fixed soon enough ? Thanks

Interesting, how is it LG related? LG OS can't see the container if the video stream within it is being passed through the app can it? I could understand it being an LG issue say if I was presenting the video container directly to it say from a USB or network share but the Emby app is the one processing the container portion, no?

Most LG's wont play DV, only if its a MP4. Dont know about the latest models. Mine is from 2021. Just try to play a DV file. If its purple/green or plays as HDR. It wont go.

bjjones2 0 Posted September 7, 2024 Posted September 7, 2024 The LG plays DV fine, it's a 2023, but you are absolutely correct - only if it's in a MP4 container. I think I'll loop @Lukeinto this. Did a little more testing and I don't think it's far enough off topic to deserve a new dedicated thread. My first issue was the DV hybrid streams with HDR fallback profile 8.1/08.03 in a MKV always playing as HDR. After finding this thread and muxing the same content to an MP4 as the only change it played correctly as DV and not falling back. Just as a confirmation I did the same thing with a straight DV file profile 5/05.03 and it plays fine in a MP4 but in a MKV the LG doesn't recognize the DV stream as such and it plays the distorted colors so it's not passing something to the TV that it wants. Luke, there's not really any logging I can see worth attaching since in all 4 cases it's direct play. Is this something that can be addressed in the LG Emby app or is it just a quirk of LG handling DV? I recently changed from MP4 to MKV adding to my library and would like to stay MKV if possible (it has a single feature over MP4 that I like, the forced flag on forced subtitles and Emby clients automatically picking that up) - Thanks
muiz 13 Posted September 7, 2024 Posted September 7, 2024 No matter where i try to play my mkv with. It wont play DV. My Google chromecast plays DV with Emby. Even on a non DV or 4k tv.
