Kodi 21
Posted: Sun Apr 28, 2024 7:10 am
I started my Nvidia Shield Pro on Saturday morning and Kodi had updated to Kodi 21 (I don’t download beta versions so this is the official release).
My uncompressed files with Dolby Vision (courtesy of MakeMkv) now display the “Dolby Vision” indication on my LG tv, something it hadn’t done before.
I did have a mp4 demo file that played fine but a conversion to mkv using mkvtoolnix made it unwatchable. (Even this mp4 file was unwatchable using certain hardware/ software combos). The mkv conversion now plays ok with Nvidia/ Kodi which it didn’t do before.
I need to try a few more files to see whether all files will enjoy this and to ponder whether the DV is decoding optimally. First glance: it looks a bit soft. There is a good chance someone will come along and tell me it isn’t decoding right!
