Hmm, I can't see any difference even with WebOS Plex here.. Have a look when you have time, could be my tired eyes.RESET_9999 wrote: Tue Aug 31, 2021 8:02 pmI don't think any TVs or bluray players will ever support any DV profile in MKV container but I could be wrong.MastaG wrote: Tue Aug 31, 2021 6:32 pm
In other news, somebody on Reddit told me that LG WebOS should be able to play DV from MKV as long it's profile 5.
Still it doesn't trigger DV playback on my C8
So it seems there's no way to make MKV trigger DV at all?
try this, I delayed the rpu metadata 2 seconds (48frames) of a genuine profile 5.

First I tested with my LG CX WebOS Plex, and I can clearly see the brightness jump in the "out of sync" -file. On AppleTV Plex, nothing. Although, it looks like Plex has broken Dolby Vision Playback on ATV and iOS devices, all DV content has some serious stuttering issues when played right now.. So I'll have to test again properly when it is fixed. I couldn't see the brightness jump even after remuxing these as P5, and played using Infuse. But I'm sure this is because the RPU has been converted to P8, surely actual P5 content would work.. right?
Apple does state on their website that ATV only supports P5, so I guess I can't blame them, but I'm definitely selling this and buying another playback device. I wan't a device capable of handling Dolby Vision content in .mkv container anyways.
Recommendations are welcome, I'd like to be able to play P5/P8 DV MKV, and possibly P7 MEL DV MKV. Shield Pro seems like a good option..?

Shield has color issues with p8-p7 rip but some are not bothered or can't even see the issue. But regardless of that(and lack of fel decoding), the shield is a great device for DV MKV.
I recently bought a Zidoo(also lack FEL decoder) and it seems to be working very well with DV MKV and lossless audio but I only watched 1h of content (p8) yet, so I dont really know about its stability yet.
The Ugoos AM6 can decode FEL DV MKV and atmos without color issues but this device is garbage, not stable at all.
The chromecast with GoogleTV can also decode fel DV mkv without color issues but with no lossless audio support.
Thank you so much for the summary! Too bad it seems there isn't a single device on the market capable of handling everything. I read your posts about the Zidoo, seems promising, I'll be following that. The Ugoos seemed promising at first, but yeah from what I understood it's really not that good..
The Chromecast with GoogleTV (4th gen, right?) seems like a steal for that price. Decodes even FEL.. Holy cow! So basically it plays any DV profile, even in MKV? Do you know if all that works with Plex too on that device? Lack of lossless audio support is not a deal-breaker for me currently, my AV Receiver doesn't even support all the fancy tech like Atmos. I was kind of leaning towards Shield Pro but I just might go for the Chromecast, crazy that it's also the cheapest option here.
Edit: Does the CCwGTV support frame rate matching?
