As I said before I think this device is playing FEL titles as MEL (without using EL layer) but... could It be a good time to update your ancient 2018 Firestick and give it a try? ;)
I'm not updating it, no.

Ok, of course, but i'm intrigued why are you so sure and categorical. It's because new firmwares are worst in certain aspects?

In the past I've had issues with stutters caused by not having enough free RAM.
The default launcher seems to use more memory, and I still have a custom leaner launcher installed.
I don't have any issue on the 2021 version.

Anyways, the real reason is that I'm keeping it old just to test if behaviour changes in Dolby Vision playback are caused by the TV or device.
Knowing that the device isn't getting updated, I know the TV updates make a difference.

Nowadays I have no more use for the 2018 stick, as the 2021 is better in every way as long as I use Kodi.

Perfectly clear, I understand.
Therefore, we could assure that if the 2021 4K Max with latest firmware doesn't support FEL DV, the older 2018 shouldn't do it.

Thanks again.

Where can we download previous version (mp4muxer_64bit.exe)? Only v1.01 is available on github and that doesnt seem to work on my C9.

Looking to get this version back for testing purposes. It no longer exists online anywhere... Link above is dead, as expected it is ancient. Been following this post for years, just never commented and apparently am unable to PM as a new member. Much obliged for anyone who can assist, thanks.

Thanks for your prompt reply and thrilled you still have this! While I ran -v on this and confirmed it is 1.0.0 and while running it task manager shows 64bit, I am certain there was a version _64 which that when you ran -h it had settings absent from this version. I believe it had dv 8 and --dv-bl-compatible-id flags while this version does not, likewise it could only be called in cmd by mp4muxer_64 not mp4muxer. Do you still have this version buried somewhere as well? Your help is much appreciated!

Hi Guys!
Was trying to convert p7 st-dl mkv file to dt-dl m2ts file to watch with Sony-x800m2. The original blu-ray structure shows that MEL is only 78 kbps (0.10%). After using Dovi Tools 4-3 path I have two files BL and El. But the latter is 0 kb in size. And as a result tsMuxer does not detect it(.
Thinking that such small MEL file is not a considerable improvement picture-wise I decided to go with p8. What option should I choose in DoVi Tools? Trying some I got *.ts file but with no DV mentioned in media-info or in player OSD, only HDR.

are you sure the MKV got DV metadata? Sounds like it doesnt.

Has anybody got a link to a decent tutorial for generating Dolby Vision using Davinci Resolve?

You are absolutely right. The mkv file has no DoVi info( Somehow I missed it(

Hi guys. Does anyone know if it's possible to add H.265 2160p WEB-DL HDR10 and DV to a H.265 2160p SDR remux? Unfortunately, the UHD is SDR whereas the WEB-DL is available in HDR10 and DV.
