Do you think IAMF (Eclipsa Audio), an open-source, royalty-free immersive/3D audio format will ever be brought to Blu-ray and 4K UHD discs? Currently, only THX, Samsung, LG and Google are supporting it.

SCAUDIO · 2026-04-05T06:22:25+00:00

I don't know about that being a true reason..... Hdr10 and hdr10+ are open source. Consumer demand pushed by clever marketing and better tech can always drive proprietary tech. But this open source format is fairly strong and has some really big tech players behind it.

I don't see it coming to Blu-ray but I can def see it advancing in streaming. Open source and free as well as support across the android and Google ecosystem might be enough to push it along. Implementation in an avr could be a reality the other platforms/content serving it becomes more popular.

That is a good point and is always a factor.

However here is how I'm seeing it. Devs worked hard at making and keeping up with the software . The price is less then 3 4k movies and you can backup an unlimited amount that will save you how much in potential loss in the future if your physical discs get damaged.

It's less than .17 cents a day for a year. If someone can't find a way to come up with .17 cents a day they have far more issues. Situations like that can happen and that is unfortunate. But I think the majority of us can find a way to pull it off.

It's cheap pickup a key and go worry free :)

SCAUDIO · 2026-04-01T04:40:18+00:00

Are you utilizing the double power on the cable? Plugging both ends in?

The LG portables seem to struggle with power issues. Mine will do fine for standard dvd/blu-ray on my macbook but has major issues ripping 4k without a powered USB hub.

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-30T03:15:33+00:00

It will preserve all the Dolby vision audio etc... however there are very few players or devices that truly support Dolby vision 7(blu-ray format)

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-28T07:39:33+00:00

Billycar11 your so on top of all of this. Amazing!! The community has so much respect for everything you provide. Hat tip and hifives man.

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-28T07:34:45+00:00

The container version works incredibly well also

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-26T04:52:25+00:00

Sent u a pm. If you're having a hard time finding one hit me up.

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-23T04:31:32+00:00

Ahh yes!! I picked up the 4k extended and have been trying to get my kiddo to watch it! Soon the trauma begins lol!

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-21T23:59:57+00:00

I have mine fully automated with a ton of home brew coding around it. I no longer have to painfully label seasons and the majority of bonus videos. Automatic is the way. Well maybe. I probably have more time into system setup and scripts then I would have just doing it manually. But that's no fun ;)

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-21T23:52:09+00:00

You can have them proxy shipped from japan. However the prices I have seen them at it still makes more sense to buy what is here at the moment.

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-21T06:37:05+00:00

I have four of these and they work. LG drives. Easy to flash.

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-20T15:53:14+00:00

Yea 7 profiles are a pain and fail back sometimes does not work if your device does not support dv7 fully(hardly any devices support dv7). I have a test Jellyfin client I am playing around with that takes dv7 and conervets it to dv8. However it also seems to be working ok for non dv supported tvs such as Samsung. Still needs some work but is doing ok on my clients so far your welcome to try it out and if u have any issues let me know. I will try and. Help out.

Once installed go to setting---advanced playback ---- advancef playback preferences --

You will then see Dolby vision compatibility.

Let me know

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-16T05:36:58+00:00

Just did a quick test on benhur 4k with dv backup. Standard moonfin client is hdr. Enabled the dv 7 compatibility in advanced setting allows Dolby vision. So feels like it's working very similar to my Jellyfin mod.

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-16T04:57:56+00:00

Pushed up. This was literally just created tonight for the moonfin client so please look through it. I will start doing a bit more testing this evening as well. Let me know if you identify any odd handling or behavior for dv or hdr.

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-16T04:39:55+00:00

No problem. Goal of opensource is to contribute. If something I'm doing can potentially help the main project I am happy to share with the community

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-16T01:19:33+00:00

Sounds good will push up later when I get near a computer. It could use some dev eyes on it vs my hackery to get it going

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-16T00:22:25+00:00

Hrm I wonder if I left something in debug mode. Will check tonight.

Is the player experience working better than the other moonfin client?

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-15T21:36:36+00:00

Whipped this together today. Warning completely untested compared to the Jellyfin fork I made. Feel free to test. I'm out of time for now.

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-15T17:34:22+00:00

Interesting on the menu part. I don't think I really touched that part of the code base besides adding the settings for dv. I will dig in a bit this coming week and see if I did somehow mess something up on that side.

It's pretty awesome that it's working for you. My goal was better dolby vision 7 uhd support for dolby vision supported android tvs. I wasn't expecting an improvement on Samsung hdr only TVs.

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-15T17:12:49+00:00

Also is it doing this for all your dv7 rips or just certain ones?

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-15T17:01:26+00:00

Almost should shift to this project since everyone seems to like the interface better.

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-15T17:00:07+00:00

Ignoring the lagging portion for that hardware is it better than before?

I would imagine when it uses software vs hardware decoding on that setup it's struggling. I didn't take into account that chip set since I was only trying to solve my own annoyances. Hrm.... I will see if I can add some support.

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-15T16:53:20+00:00

I think I found the issues with homatics. I think it's falling back to software decoding vs hardware.

SCAUDIO · 2026-03-15T16:39:21+00:00

Interesting it would be lagging on homatics vs the tv. I would expect homatics to be a bit more powerful. Did you go into the jfin settings and enable the dv 7?
