Having trouble activating Dolby Vision

[phytonic13]

I've made all my 4k rips within the last 8 months. I'm using an Nvidia shield pro and kodi to play my files. Just purchased a new tv, Sony 77a80j, which supports dolby vision. Everything is activated in the shield and the tv to diplay dolby vision. Only getting hdr10 at the moment. Any ideas?

Are you using the forked version of kodi from here:

The stock version of kodi does not support dv in mkvs the last time I last checked.

I haven't. Reading through that is getting a little deep for my understanding. Is plex a better way to go with this?

Yes, Plex should be good to go out of the box
