If you're playing it back on the Shield, I honestly don't think it matters what profile you put it in. It seems to me that as long as the software (Plex, MXPlayer, MrMC, etc) can recognize the DV stream, it will pass it on to the hardware decoder. I have looked at the Plex exoplayer logs when attempting to play a profile 6 video that is considered deprecated and has no confirmed support. The logs show that the software doesn't recognize the dvhe.06.0x codec (it does for dvhe.04.0x), but still acknowledges that it contains a DV stream, so it passes it onto the hardware decoder for playback.MastaG wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 7:39 pmGreat, then I'll hack up the source to put profile 8 for everythingplanet_hoarder wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 7:15 pmNo LG tv is able to playback dual layer DV profile 7 with FEL over 8MB/s.

I noticed the same, but I think the reason for the stutters in profile 4 and 6 is because the TV's internal player is not capable of handling the full enhanced layer of such high bitrate movies.
I think when using profile 8 it's discarding the enhanced layer and only processing the metadata.. like using BL+RPU (mode 2).
profile 8 cannot discard anything - I create using mode 1 so it is BL+EL+RPU output
From a pure dolby specs standpoint, a single PID BL+EL+RPU stream that has HDR10 backwards compatibility should be either 6 or 7 (our case here). It should not be profile 8 as the latest dolby profiles specsheet clearly states that it is a single layer profile.
