And where are you putting the file?

org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata

That works for some of us, doesn't seem to for others. Try copying one locally as a test and see if it plays. Then you can narrow down the issue, but, my guess is it's this. Got it. But just to confirm I still need to use 'play using Exoplayer' right? Yes, that's where the DV support for MKV is. Sa...

SHIELD mounted NAS drive - basically sharing a folder on my W10 machine via the network which is mounted as a network drive on the SHIELD. That works for some of us, doesn't seem to for others.

No, if you’re not seeing it after a restart, then you’ve either put the xml in the wrong place or misspelled the name of the file.

Ah got it. And just to confirm, this is the .xml I should try, correct? Without any edits?

Thanks for providing this - added this .xml to the right folder in Kodi but only getting HDR10 (not DV) playback. Something I'm doing wrong? Once yusecope's modified exoplayer apk is released and installed on your Shield, you need to make the following changes: 1) Create a playercorefactory.xml fil...

Here's my playercorefactory.xml that you can try. Just replace the one you have and restart Kodi. edit: sorry forgot link. https://mega.nz/file/9fZ3gCoa#bUL3DYXfc8Ft0KctROGy3bRz5F0ZuSQ81TMD7rccfzk Thanks for providing this - added this .xml to the right folder in Kodi but only getting HDR10 (not DV...

Kodi 18.7 on shield pro 2019. Shield directly connected to Panasonic GZ2000 oled tv. All the DV files made by the latest yusesope tool profile 4 work perfectly in Plex. I did almost 10 mkv with the latest release and no one of them plays including your sample downloaded from mega. I choose to play ...

I should have specified, I meant within Kodi. There is a Plex addon and it uses Kodi’s default player from my understanding (that’s why some use it because it stops the server from transcoding some other file types- on the shield it doesn’t apply as the shield plays almost everything natively in Pl...

Ah, yea, in Kodi it would. I've never bothered to set up the Plex client in Kodi as I've never had a reason to. I suppose that'd be one way to do it. But I'm good with what we have for now until Plex adds support. Hi, Just want to understand how it should work now. Add file share to Shield (prefere...

You can't. They use exoplayer as a shell for their playback but everything they do is either tied to ffmpeg or custom code they've written. Overriding the player, even if you somehow could, would break almost everything about Plex. I should have specified, I meant within Kodi. There is a Plex addon...

Hey all,

Just want to make sure I understand.

Currently if we use the new MakeMKV we will get a MKV that supports DV.

Will this play via Plex on Shield or native LG app?

If not currently, is it the expectation that is what will happen?

I was just looking at the mediainfo of the MKV I ripped a couple days ago and I think this is the issue. for HDR format, I see "SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible". There is no mention of Dolby Vision. Is there something I am missing in MakeMKV that isn't retaining the DV part(I am on 1.15.1...

So I tried ChrisAndy's method and I don't think I am getting DV. My setup... Sony X950H Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 Plex server from a QNAP TS-451Be My steps... 1. Re-ripped John Wick 3 using Makemkv 1.15.1 to an MKV 2. Used Makemkv to create an unprotected copy of the disk onto a harddrive 3. Using tsm...

Thanks - and I'm assuming this thread will get updated once that standard is released. Yep. Just want to make sure I accurately summarize.. In order to get both Dolby Vision and Atmos via Plex you need 1)Nvidia Shield 2) The file: a) MakeMKV of the BDMV b) Extract Atmos audio via ea3to c) Combine ....
