Thanks for that link. I've found that single layer DV plays okay in Sony Android TVs but as the article suggests they will not play dual layer remuxes.daddy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2020 6:27 pmI think the Sony dv support is the worst.Philips 804 is an android tv with a built-in Video player that can handle dual layer dv.http://4k.com/news/sony-explains-about-dolby-vision-problem-in-its-4k-hdr-tvs-partly-blames-others-23168/ wrote:Sony implemented a modification to Dolby Vision support by which most of the processing for playback of content with this kind of high dynamic range formatting is offloaded to the device from which it came from instead of being done inside the TV itself. Thus the need for complementary updates from streaming device makers. Why Sony chose this approach is still unknown but it could be because they wanted to make their Dolby Vision update as lean and easy to implement as possible.
This is surprising that nobody tried to backup this android application, to try it on another android device
Shout out to anyone with a Philips 804 for a backup of their native video player app.
