Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

So is DV working with MKV rips now ?

This is my current playback method and haven't seen DV get triggered by my LG CX on any recent DV MKV rips:

HTPC . Emby . MadVR . MPC-BE.

Explain it to me like I'm five. What I gotta do?

Won't work on LG. Have to use a Shield with the custom exoplayer found in this forum/

Wait, how is my television the limiting factor ? And then you say I need to use a different media player. Which is it ?

Latest Emby beta app for android is capable to play DV Mkv on both shield and ugoos am6 plus even with some problems.
Here; https://emby.media/community/index.php? ... 4-testing/

If anyone can expand on this I would appreciate it. I still can't get DV to trigger with the latest Emby beta. I have re-ripped my file with the latest MakeMKV and no go. Help appreciated.

Once you have downloaded the app from the link I have posted, you should sideload it in the shield. If you have another emby version already installed, pls uninstall it first. Then make sure that the emby server is the latest beta version 4.5.0.29
DV mkv play and dolby vision is triggered in this beta app. The main problem is that, after 2/3 minutes, suddenly the player stops without any apparent reason.
This happens with almost all the mkv files.

Thank you Ragico. I totally didn't know I had to be running a beta server I will load that on another machine and give it a go and post back. Thanks!

Nothing. The firestick plays correctly only the DV Mel.
If the DV is Fel you get sound and DV triggers on the screen but it remains black.
In this post viewtopic.php?f=12&t=18602&start=2970 Yusesope is giving us a program to "convert" Fel movies to Mel movies and in this way you can watch them correctly on the Firestick.

Just reporting back. Setup a beta server and used playback with Exoplayer and DV does not trigger. Only HDR10. If someone could post the correct Exoplayer link for confirmation that would be great. Thanks.

It won't work from an HTPC or the internal LG TV player. You need a dedicated streaming box like the Shield.

Sorry, my knowledge in the field is not enough to empower me to advise you. But there is a lot of info out there and a few tools that will actually do all the job for you.
What format are the files you are playing on shield and not getting DV?

Or you could read the thread. All the info you need is there. If that is too complicated, i suggest you wait until things are on a simple enough level.

You must use the emby beta app sideloaded to play not exoplayer.

This is my tactic. I'm reading the thread as it develops but I cannot be bothered with the faffing around so am just waiting until official support comes to Plex.
