Thank you. And do you know if it supports playback of all versions of Dolby Vision (both 4K UHD Blu-ray and streaming platforms) that get discussed in this thread?Buzzie wrote: Sat Dec 04, 2021 9:05 pmI use Kodi 19.3 from this site.
Its an altered version of Kodi that installs next to the Google Play Store version so you can easily test it

I havent watched much movies lately but the last UHD Bluray Remux movies i watched played fine except for the Audio drop outs but that has been fixed.DolbyVisionFTW wrote: Sat Dec 04, 2021 11:41 pmThank you.

I'm looking for a device for playing back mkv with losless audio and p5/p7mel/p8 DoVi video with frame rate matching from 1Mbps network.RESET_9999 wrote: Sat Oct 09, 2021 3:54 pm I even prefer my Shield with the red push for p8 cropped content(no red push with p5).
I tried the zidoo z9x which looked promising at first but after watching a couple of injected p8 movies, I noticed that this device is not really reliable.chros wrote: Sun Dec 05, 2021 5:06 pm I'm looking for a device for playing back mkv with losless audio

Sometimes the RPU doesn't work at all, sometimes the rpu goes out of sync in the middle of a movie, sometimes playback stops... I couldn't trust it anymore so I sold it. Ugoos am6 is garbage so I'm out of solution ATM.
so right now I'm using:
p7 FEL / p8 / p5 + lossless audio = sony x700
cropped p8 / p5 + lossy audio = C8 plex internal app and ARC.
cropped p8 / p5 + lossless audio = Shield / plex
The shield is very stable with DV mkv, at least with p8/p5... I never watched a p7 movie on it and yes it supports TV-LED.chros wrote: Sun Dec 05, 2021 6:46 pm Thanks for the quick reply! About Shield:
- no issues with p5 mkv?
- what about p7 MEL mkv?
- does it trigger TV-led DoVi on C8 and not player-led, right?
- all this using custom 19.3 Kodinerds build?
Cheers, then I get one and test it with Kodi and Plex as well.RESET_9999 wrote: Sun Dec 05, 2021 7:43 pmThe shield is very stable with DV mkv, at least with p8/p5...

I never tried kodi but plex works flawlessly on my end.
the colors are only accurate with profile 5 though. That's why I try to use it the less I can but if they ever fix it, this will be by far the best device for MEL DV + lossless audio,
I have a Panasonic GZ950 OLED and a Philips PUS7304/12 LED/LCD plus Nvidia Shield TV 4K Pro (2019). Haven’t actually watched any Dolby Vision content yet and having read about so many issues that others here have experienced using various different devices, was hoping to avoid huge frustrations getting getting Dolby Vision media to playback without issues.fox0910 wrote: Sun Dec 05, 2021 9:36 amIt's depend of your Android TV.DolbyVisionFTW wrote: Sat Dec 04, 2021 11:41 pm

Kodi only sends video to ATV and it play it by hardware.
I.e. my Sony TV (xf9005) can play profile 5 only (from streaming platform).
I’m using the Chromecast Google TV, since it’s the only other thing that plays FEL. It’s not the most reliable either, though. And no lossless audio.RESET_9999 wrote: Sun Dec 05, 2021 5:57 pmI tried the zidoo z9x which looked promising at first but after watching a couple of injected p8 movies, I noticed that this device is not really reliable.chros wrote: Sun Dec 05, 2021 5:06 pm I'm looking for a device for playing back mkv with losless audio

no plex nor mkv... I use TS container so my movies are supported on all my devices.norrellmeister wrote: Sun Dec 05, 2021 9:37 pm Are you able to run Plex on the x700? How do you get mkv files onto the thing to play them?
All Android TV devices I've tried (Hisense U6G TV Android TV OS, Chromecast w/Google TV, Tivo Stream 4k, Shield Pro 2019) appear to be flakey in DV playback mode (decoder causes crashes/errors/incorrect playback) whether FEL or MEL or p5/p7/p8 just FYI (don't know if Android TV 12 LLM will help at all or not). Don't you dare try to seek or rewind too much, you'll make the device cry!
