Hi there. I’m confused what exactly it is that you guys are talking about here. Dual whatnow remuxes? Are these widespread? How do I recognise whether I have one of these?
Sorry for newbie question, but it’s difficult to follow all the technical details 
yes thanks. as said all other files are playing without issues on the ugoos… dv non dv all good.
it’s so far only that mov that doesn’t work. but it’s playing fine on 2 other boxes, in dv.
so I thought the file might be good and you are interested as well in finding the issue. for me it’s OK I watched it via zidoo (in a worse quality as I understand the whole topic…)
if I’m the only one having an issue out of the blue with an dv profile 7.6 movie that plays on other boxes it’s anyway very realistic to expect the issue is in front of the box, not the box…
You used the tool mkvmerge v0.84 I do have some working remuxed files by mkvmerge v0.83. So try again and compare if it get working.
Which profile DV are the mov files? Can you provide a sample?
There’s a lot of bad remuxes floating around from before the tools existed to properly handle FEL videos. There’s no real way to fix them. I would suggest finding either a complete version or just backing up your own files.
No, single boot is not possible.
thanks it’s only one file that doesn’t work on ugoos but on shield and zidoo.
and I see only that from the screenshot. 7.6.
later at home I can send more details with the mkv tool. I will also try to open again and see if there’s a log
Can you upload about 20-30 seconds of the file? Otherwise, it’s impossible to troubleshoot.
Thanks. Do you happen to remember the specific command you used? I tried finding something online for this use case but couldn’t.
so the file is playing now! I’ve run it with mkv and removed 3 audio and 30 subs only keeping the video and true HD and it’s playing perfectly!! yilieah this coreelec kodi is stunning!!
seems something was indeed wrong before! lucky me it was not the end user…
happy!!
can I see in kodi if the player uses the fel info? like an info overlay stats for nerds or so…?
besides comparing pq with another player. that I will try sometime but not sure if I would trust me 
I managed to acquire that exact same movie and when you load it into Makemkv it says this:
MakeMKV v1.17.6 win(x64-release) started
Opening files on harddrive at T:/Movies/2001.A.Space.Odyssey.1968.2160p.BluRay.REMUX.HEVC.DTS-HD.MA.5.1-FGT/2001.A.Space.Odyssey.1968.2160p.BluRay.REMUX.HEVC.DTS-HD.MA.5.1-FGT.mkv
Hack: Found secondary video stream with RPU, assuming DV EL
Hack: Attaching DV data from second video track to first one and discarding second video trackSo it looks like Makemkv can recognize these “bad” MKV files. If you then do the remux with Makemkv, you will get a new STDL MKV with BL+EL+RPU:
HDR format : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatibleone thing is still open after remixing, every info I have incl makemkv are reporting that is atmos but it plays as true HD only, no height channels are submitted to avr in bitstream
another one is also not playing atmos info. maybe best match in audio section is wrong? but without I cannot see passtrough
I have no idea, only how the end result must look like 
Also I can only choose 7.1 as max, not 9.1 for example. I have 5.1 +4 height. but I guess that’s not the issue?
and I’m as usual the only one who cannot get height channels to the receiver…
correction. dts x works! 4 height are there. puhh good night over and out
There was no question in my reply 
Just wanted to let everyone know that Makemkv can fix some of these bad mkvs and turn them into working FEL movies…
found it. according my understanding a bug.
I’m always watching with auro 3d on the avr. Just by far the best sound in my opinion.
with an atmos track I’m not getting height channels with auro, only getting height if I choose dolby atmos on the avr.
same with dts x tracks, I have to choose dts x on the avr.
choosing auro (supported with 24 channels I think…)
best match = true HD only
optimized = true HD only
fixed = no sound at all
I thought I’m smart and choose atmos on the avr with fixed to start the movie, and then switch to auro. doesn’t work, no sound
I would love an update sometime, so that kodi recognizes auro as full immersive and sends out everything it has on passtrough.
that def works on shield and zidoo.
FYI, the channel setting in Kodi doesn’t really do anything when you’re using passthrough. So it’s not really limited to 7.1 as the setting says, it should be sending all of the audio data as-is to your AVR. I’m not exactly sure why you aren’t getting the height audio with your AVR, but I am curious why you have to choose the type of audio manually. With my Yamaha it auto-detects the codec and plays accordingly.
yeah sure it detects atmos / dts x and with that auto mode I got height info transmitted and the correct symbol in the avr.
but auro 3d sounds better to my ears even if it only gets 5.1 in the moment. you always have to choose that mode yourself because there are only a few auro 3d movies (and I don’t have them…)
but the mode produces impressive sound independent of source. I have that as standard since 2 years or so. always checked back always switched back. 50 movies… since then I stayed…
what auro should get is 9.1 info or maybe even 11.1 with dts x not sure
No more than 8 chanels on all blue-ray sound track so to get up mix to 8+ chanels, your avr must do it. And it maybe bad.
Auro and Atmos are completely different and incompatible audio codecs. You can’t decode Atmos with the your AVR’s 3D Auro decoder.
The Auro decoder can be used to upmix stereo and 5.1 to ‘3D Auro’ but it can’t be used to do same for Atmos or DTS:X. This option will give you fake immersive sound though. If you want to hear real immersive you pass-through.
