No he doesn't. This is not the plex solution he is attempting. My guess is you are not launching exoplayer from kodi, you need to long press the title until the menu comes up then play with exoplayer. Installing playercorefacotry does not make that the default player.Tomas wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 7:21 pmYou must install the PLEX add-on in KODIxmenw wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 5:49 pmI got my shield a few days back and did the following:

4. I had ripped MKV for Midway & Knives out with 1.15.2 but its not triggering Dolby Vision on my 65E6 with shield set to 24Hz HDR10 + DV output in display.Code: Select all

What should I be doing different? I have restarted Kodi/Shield a couple times with no different results, only HDR10 gets triggered every time.. Then let go through the PLEX accessory.

The shares are mounted on my shield, not in Kodi.gottahavit wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 9:37 pmAs stated earlier you want to use network mounts from the shield, not from Kodi(if that's what you are doing). Then the shares just show up in kodi. I was not able to get the internal network shares in kodi to work with exoplayer, but once mapped in the shield there was no issue. Since exoplarer(and all external players) in kodi use their own streaming(just passed the stream path), I would assume there is a bug in the streaming reader in exoplayer(no offence to the dev of this great addon). With Kodi streams the stream passed is a SMB:// path, with the shield mounts the app gets local storage paths which are managed by the OS/Device.djbuddha wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 12:39 amIs there a version of the apk or a way to default the audio to 'none'? - trying to play my MKV rip of The Matrix. Worked fine on my other setup downstairs using an HDFury Vertex 2 running through a Marantz 6012.
I hooked my 2019 Shield up to a brand new Sony Bravia X90H I purchased for a room upstairs I need to furnish with a decent receiver / surround setup. To get it to play, I have to wait while it essentially times out, and then choose the correct audio from the top left after the time-out (that's using the oldest version of the apk). On the latest version, I can't even get to the top left select menu in any circumstance. It's not a bandwidth issue either as I'm directly connected up here to the same switch I typically use on my Atmos setup downstairs.
**edit** Nevermind, the audio change yields almost no difference after all.
**edit 2** I don't think it has to do with the audio stream, the internal kodi player is playing the regular HDR10 stream perfectly fine and it says it's reading the Atmos track as well. Dolby Vision does work on this TV with the Shield as I've had other Dolby Vision content play (including the test content in the latest apk).
Any idea how this can be tested in a Shield? Is there any installable apks available?manuelrn wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 12:28 amExoPlayer v2.12.0 (2020-09-11)

Which apps are based on it?shawnc22 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 9:53 pmThe github exoplayer repo is primarily an API. Unless you modify the demo apk that you can build out of it to be able to handle external files (e.g. yusecope's modified version of it), you cannot explicitly test it on the Shield. You would have to wait for one of the apps on the android store that's based on exoplayer to be updated in order to test it.
This is common. Just hit play again and it should start playing.xmenw wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 3:25 amI was not doing this (new to Kodi), thank you. However now when the playback is attempted by selecting Exo player, I get an error “playback failed”.

Won't work on LG. Have to use a Shield with the custom exoplayer found in this forum/
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.ragico wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 5:12 pmLatest Emby beta app for android is capable to play DV Mkv on both shield and ugoos am6 plus even with some problems.
