Is the EDID info shown using the TV itself or some other method (Pgenerator on rpi mentioned by RESET) ?
I don't quite understand what you mean. But as far as I know you can read EDID with the utility https://entechtaiwan.com/util/moninfo.shtm.
Although I haven't tried it myself.

Thanks I'll check out that tool. At 1'39" of your video, there's a black info overlay but now that I look at it, it seems maybe from your capture card (would you mind sharing which card ?). I thought it showed EDID but actually has lots of video signal properties.

That's also helpful but not what I am asking about. I was asking how did you get EDID info from your TV. I thought wrongly that signal info showed it in your video. RESET_9999 explained few pages ago & I wondered if you were using the raspberry pi/Pgenerator. We can for now "forget about it" : )

PS: That moninfo tool didn't show anything useful (EDID) when I connected my Bootcamp/Mac to my LGTV via HDMI.

That's so funny, I just finished doing that but didn't find anything useful related to DV or HDR... I think it seems CRU depends on the GPU on the laptop (MacBook Pro 2018 i7, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655) or the USB-C to HDMI Anker adapter , but unsure ! Grrr can't attach .txt ... or is it a quota issue.

Here's a LINK to that text file decoded from the site that @DMDreview shared.

What is the size of the original EDID file, it feels like it is without the second 128 bytes. the size of the full EDID is 256 bytes.

That is what I exported from CRU & decoded by that site, idk what you mean by original file unless the .bin file which is also 128bytes.

yes, I just tested with my C2 and if the display connected to the PC is not a certified DV monitor, the DV bloc is missing from CRU edid. A TV is not a certified DV monitor.

^^^ Understood, though CRU has these following limitations & my MBP 2018 has most likely a dum & unsupported GPU. Oh RESET just discovered the mystery :-D
Extension blocks:
GPU-specific limtations:
CRU can read extension blocks from displays connected to AMD and NVIDIA GPUs.
CRU can't read extension blocks with Intel GPUs or switchable graphics.
Older drivers or GPUs may only support up to 3 extension blocks.

No need to worry about your TV edid. LG OLED65E7P is about ~700nits.

Thank you, I knew that from other users DV calibration files, was just curious how to retrieve EDID without vertex HW.

Yes, I guess the ST P7 MKV would work on the C9 kodi app. Let us know if you try.
I'll test this week and let you know. It would be amazing if it also can do lossless audio (I doubt it though based on others' experiences so far).
