Dolby Vision Profile, VS10, plus other info on skins

Only if you pay for it :wink:

Don’t worry, the newest CPM builds will be eventually shared outside of his private github soon(ish).

I suspect that CPM privately shared a build with @jamal2367 with an agreement that jamal2367 would not share it further.

Basically, it seems at this point we’ll need another member to set-up a build environment, mirror the official CE repos, applies CPM’s patches on top, build and then share. This will last until CE either merges CPM changes or makes a breaking commit or CPM decides to share builds again.

Cheers!!:v:

cpm has made some commits today, cleaning up and reworking some recent changes.
And it seems to be in more ‘finished’ state than a couple days before with temp commits.
In theory I can share my build(s) based on these changes after some tests and without any support of course.
I hope that he would be ok with this.

The question is whether he wants his work to be made available by others for download. If we do something wrong, it could mean that he gives it up completely.
Difficult situation… :neutral_face:

yeap, that’s my only doubt. On the other hand, considering that he left the repo public, It would be strange to be against the build, otherwise what’s the point of it, just to tease?))

I think it’s okay to share a build if you compile it yourself. After all, the code is publicly available. But we don’t know how cpm will react to it.

There is a reason why he deleted his builds on GitHub.

Hmm. :grimacing:

ok, I’ll wait for a bit. But I think he deleted the builds and branches more as a cleanup, as they are might not be ‘relevant’ for him considering latest changes in the CE’s kodi (reintroduction of libdovi, bringing back of P7 conversion to MEL or P8, etc). Though it’s not fully rebased yet, he pulled in some changes separately. So he’s leaving just the current code that he’s maintaining for his own use. That’s my take on it.

From now on, he only fixes/cleanup his code.
He said he will not add any more functions in future.

I think the new commit from today for the PlayerProcessInfo was just the end of it all.

It’s just my guess.

Btw:
Convert from profile 7 to MEL or P8.1 works fine.
Test it already.

good to hear, I expected so (just haven’t managed to test yet), as it was a recent change in official nightly and he adapted it to his work.

the ‘fun part’ would be maintaining these changes if there’s another major surgery in upstream that touches his rework. So far it’s been pretty simple resolving a couple of minor conflicts during cherry-pick, but who knows what future brings, we might end up stuck with some build for a while.
But that’s a story for another day)

Everything is working as expected.
I haven’t noticed anything that causes any problems.

I have tried different media (movies):
Dolby Digital - :white_check_mark:
Dolby Digital Plus (Atmos) - :white_check_mark:
Test this because he doing some code refactoring about it.

The following is also without complaint:
Convert profile 7 to MEL - :white_check_mark:
Convert profile 7 to P8.1 - :white_check_mark:

The problem I had for two weeks that new local media were not automatically detected has also been resolved. :white_check_mark:

So this build is definitely very stable and the VS10 engine runs very very well.

Another positive thing I noticed that some people have criticized on last build is HDR10+.
So the conversion from HDR10+ to Dolby Vision runs well to for me. :white_check_mark:

thx for the testing (my build with today’s commit is in progress).
Hopefully our gurus from CE Team will kick the buffer issue’s behind in the not so distant future,
and with that fixed it would be a good build to stay on for while if adapting changes poses a problem at some point.

@cpm
you are aware that many many people is following your researches and have adopted your builds. I follow this forum from many years and never encountered a similar situation. I do not want to enter the problems between you and CE Team. I only am part of hundreds of people very happy until yesterday and now abandoned . It’s ok if you have decided what you have decided but have you ever considered your followers? I have a great respect for your intelligence and sensibility and am sure that you are still reading this forum. Therefore you know that the vast majority of us does not have the preparation and experience to use your repo for building the .tar. So what? Will continue “ad infinitum” like now or you want to walk a different way? Thank you very much and sorry.

The days for NG 21 are counted. There is no longer much movement from the CE team. Soon it will all be snow from yesterday. The only thing we can hope for is that CPM is still working on it. (Code cleanup/fixes) of its VS10 engine to perfect the whole thing and then we will have many years of fun with it.

yeap, I don’t have a need for any new functionality. It’s only the sync issue for me that remains and If it’s fixed I can stay content with that for a while. At least as local UHD FEL remux player (for everything else some non-FEL capable box with newer and supported kernel will work just fine in case I need it).
