First of all thank you for these new developements!
And then a little reminder that this is still very much "beta" all the way through:
My setup is a Shield Pro 2019 -> Onkyo RZ820 -> LG E6 OLED.
I was losing my mind over this: I saw some rather nasty color banding/oversaturation on some DV content: First i noticed it in Westworld Season 1 Episode 1, the second scene, about 2:40 in, where Dolores wakes up, i saw some green bands on her skin, primarily her right arm (center screen) and... ehm, chest, and on the wall when she is walking down the stairs afterwards. Thought it was badly colored, but when playing in regular HDR in Kodi it looked fine. So i tried The Mandalorian Episode 1 on D+, and immediately spotted horrible banding in the very first scene (on the right side of the screen) and an overblown highlight in the light coming through the clouds.... Tried the TV built in app: looked much better.... So i suspected the shield. But it seems it plays DV content just fine after a reboot. ONCE... And then stuff with DV i play/stream afterwards suffers issues... It *might* be triggered by Kodi somehow... It *might* be triggered by refresh rate change... It *might* just be my particular system, but that is all speculation.
tl;DR: You may need to reboot your shield before playing or streaming DV content... It *might* be buggy and produce banding/oversaturation otherwise...
