After I tried some other videos, I find that if the Codec ID is hev1, the video can not play normally on Kodi.
When I use dolby official mp4muxer, if I set --dv-profile to 4 or 7, the Codec ID will be hev1 but if I set it to 5, the Codec ID is dvhe.
So here is my question:
1.Why profile 4 7 use hev1 and profile 5 uses dvhe, what is the difference?
2.In the line of HDR format, there is "dvhe.05.06"(in my first videro info), but Codec ID is hev1, what is the difference of these strings?
3.Why kodi can not play Codec ID hev1 video but other players can?
To receive meaningful assistance you will need to provide a full debug log.

The instructions are here... debug log (wiki)

If you are using the Basic Method, then ensure the following is applied...
1.Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging,
2.Restart Kodi
3.Replicate the problem.
4.Upload the log to Kodi Paste Site manually or use the Kodi Logfile Uploader. (wiki) With either method post the link to the log back here.

If you are using the Advanced Method ensure you have correctly created and applied the advancedsettings.xml file (wiki)

In both instances, you should see the word DEBUG throughout the log.

Note: Full logs only. No partial or redacted logs
Do NOT post your logs directly into the forum. Use the Kodi Paste Site. Post the link to your pasted log in the forum
