Thank you! If i played the file in the Shield, would it still have the same problem? As it is a CMV4.0 device

Alright thanks, btw a few days ago I tried a file you recommended for testing black crush, the bars that flash are basically not visible at all when using dolby vision with local dimming at minimum, and a little visible with local dimming off. With HDR10 its completely visible even with local dimming.RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 5:19 pmI would guess it's because CMV4.0 and this is why I always remove it. The L2 trims in Wonka is a global positive lift which is ignored by cmv4.0 devices.
In Aquaman, the L2 trims are not a positive lift. Try to remove CMV4.0 in wonka and I bet the brightness will match the x800m2.
Slope - Offset value over 2048 = positive lift
Power value under 2048 = positive lift
nop
Thank You! I have been following your work and the discussions associated with DV for quite some time in this forum, but everytime i think i undertstand the correct setup, there is some new discussion that throws me out of the loop!
cropped content from apple are missing L5 but it doesn't seem to cause any issue so you can leave it untouched or edit to 0do I need to do something else in case of DV P8 (cropped) movies, to be played in the internal player, like editing L5?
Thank You! Its super weird that something like this escapes in testing. Is there actually any way to correctly play CMV4.0 files? The internal player is CMV4.0 and the image was much darker, i doubt that was the intended mastering they wanted..RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 9:35 pmPS: I just asked Dolby and sent them a bunch of test files about CMV4.0 missing level 8 and L2 trim offset ignored in tv-led.
Let see what they say.
Not only should we ask Dolby, but also ask LG, Sony, etc. Current behaviors of playback devices and display devices does not make sense to me.tjreis2 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 5:09 pmThank You!

Regarding the setup im using, do you think i need to change anything?
No , it sounds right but you should try DV MKV with kodi on your C2, it works great on my end (PGS and SRT).
Well, unless you are new to this DV thing, we found out quite early that DV is a total mess filled with bugs.susanstone2022 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 6:59 pmNot only should we ask Dolby, but also ask LG, Sony, etc. Current behaviors of playback devices and display devices does not make sense to me.
yeah. I have been following the thread. maybe consumers should start a class action suit against Dolby, LG, Sony, etc so they may take the mess more seriously.RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 7:48 pmWell, unless you are new to this DV thing, we found out quite early that DV is a total mess filled with bugs.susanstone2022 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 6:59 pmNot only should we ask Dolby, but also ask LG, Sony, etc. Current behaviors of playback devices and display devices does not make sense to me.
I have added DoVi section to all the available settings docs.RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2024 5:11 pmthanks for confirming, it makes sense.
What is the internal config for tmax in our C2
How would that work? "Dolby Vision looks good, but not accurate on all devices, give me money back!!" Lol. Joking aside, it will never work as you cannot prove you're paying any specific unavoidable costs for Dolby Vision support when you purchase a device, and even if you could argue that you are, someone like Apple will state that they do support it, and it plays back fine. Dolby's out is that it's on the creators to follow their "guidelines" and they cannot force manufacturers to strictly adhere to Dolby specs, they pay a license fee to implement as they see fit. Even in the insane universe in which somehow the lawsuit is won, each participating individual will get like pennies or a dollar or something per device they bought, as LG, Sony, and others will argue that they include Dolby Vision as a gesture of goodwill to their consumers and it's not built-it into the price of any particular TV model beyond some tiny fraction based on economies of scale and perpetual Dolby licensing. If you want a more valuable lawsuit or petition to improve PQ for every consumer in the world of any decent TV, it would be to require TV manufacturers to include guided calibration apps or self-calibration or AI-based setup programming based on the room's conditions in each TV set they ship out of the box! Imagine living in a world like that, haha.susanstone2022 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 9:57 pmyeah.

that's great info. thanks a lot man.chros wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 10:03 pmI have added DoVi section to all the available settings docs.
VSVDB is the EDID value.
Were those values retrieved using bscpylgtv command or by extracting the default DV config files from the C2 TV firmware?chros wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 10:03 pm

So far I've only watched movies/TV with EAC3 audio and it is always in sync but last night I watched something with AC3 audio and the audio is indeed OOS 300-400MS. Tried other AC3 files and got the same problem then converted the audio to EAC3 and it fixed the issue.azreil24 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 10:29 pmSo, LG TV's Kodi still sucks. I corrected the delay and now I got the correct sync when played on PC or Zidoo. When played through the Kodi Plex add-on, there is a slight delay on the video, I can notice a 2-300ms of delay. Playing the same file directly into Kodi, I get a delay in sound. It's annoying as hell getting DV MKVs to play properly on the LG...
