From my limited reading of this thread:WaynosDaBoss wrote: ↑Sun Jan 02, 2022 9:53 pmHi! I am new here as just doing some research on playing DV mkv files via my LG C9 OLED and as there are 396 odd pages to read through I thought I would post as hopefully someone might be able to help me get the answer I am looking for!
I was trying to play some recently aquired DV content over the Plex app on the C9 OLED and noticed the picture was all green / purple and after a quick google discovered this was because the DV format is not being processed / played back correctly. I have done some more digging and found out the source file in question is H.265 DV Profile 5 with EAC3 Atmos which I know the TV supports when using the Netflix, Disney+ apps etc so the native player of the TV should be ok with this format. I then tried taking Plex out of the equasion and played the mkv file back directly from a USB stick and got the same result. I also read somewhere that it wouldnt work when DV is combined with Atmos so I converted the audio from eac3 to standard ac3, remuxed the file but again got the same result.
From what I have read so far it would appear dual layer files which use profile 7 are able to fall back to standard HRD10 and ignore the metadata but as this file is profile 5 single layer this is not possible.
Does anyone know if this file type should be supported or not or if I should just forget about the DV content and try to play standard HDR10 files instead or do I just have a bit of an oddball file here?
Profile 5 does not support HDR10 fallback.
P5 (always single layer) = none-tonemapped DV base layer(green and purple colours) + dynamic metadata in RPU.
