Is there a device available that supports Dolby Vision (just Profile 8.1 support is fine), Atmos TrueHD, DTS:X MA, and also has accurate picture quality (gamma and color)?
I've tried many devices but never found one that does all these things aside from the Dune HD Real Vision 4K with Realtek 1619DR, but Kodi unfortunately doesn't support it.
I'm willing to build a custom PC for this if required.
Thank you!
im guessing youre wanting an all in one solution but im not aware of one
im leveraging three plus a jellyfin media server
FireTV Cube Gen3 with a workaround build here
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=371883 gets me nice everything with audio passthrough on most everything including atmos but doesnt really like VC1
FireTV Cube Gen3 with Jellyfin client, using exoplayer backend gets me dolby vision and atmos passthrough but has downsides for other formats
CoreElec on a generic android box puts everything together except dolby vision but gives me tone mapping to make my older movies look more hdr-like
i havent tested dts:x specifically on anything, not sure which of my movies has it but it popped up on my avr once when using coreelec
so for the time being i just switch between whichever and use the native jellyfin client when it's a DV movie
the good thing is i can connect the generic android box to the hdmi input of the firetv cube and control it over cec from the firetv remote and its about as simple as if i opened another app
update:
this post contains misconceptions, kodi on firetv cube gen3 is currently working with dolby vision, atmos and dts:x passthrough
the coreelec box hasnt been powered on in at least a month since getting dv with gen3 working
Second this suggestion on Fire Cube 3. It isn't perfect, but what is?!
On the Cube, there is supposed to be a firmware bug relating to the high quality audio formats.

Yes, I'm looking for an all-in-one solution that's easy enough for my family to use.
Until then, the closest thing I've found is my Apple TV running Infuse (unfortunately without Atmos TrueHD or DTS:X MA though) and my Dune RT1619DR devices.
The Dune RT1619DR devices are the only device that supports everything I throw at it with accuracy, but it's frustrating having it be completely disconnected from Plex/Kodi.
It would be amazing if someone could develop a modern/maintained version of Kodi that runs on RT1619DR devices or if OSMC would finally get around to releasing a Vero 4K++ that is DoVi P8.1 capable.

A PC will never do DolbyVision as none of the Video card manufacturers license dolbyvision. the best you could get with PC is HDR10 or HDR10+
If you want DolbyVision and Kodi you have to stick to Android devices such as Shield, Cube, etc.
This is an upcoming one, may be worth a look

do you have iphone?
ONLY iphone can make DV Profile 8.1/8.4.
"mkv/mp4 DV" (Profile 8.1 or 5) are fake o half DV , it's NOT true DV.
OLNY oppo clone and some DB player cam player back TRUE DV from DB UHD profile 7.

I suppose these could be it? Especially if the profile 7 bug gets corrected (CE team states that it was working fine in a previous release of the kernel).
That looks like a nice box - is there any review on how it works with Kodi and what is the best way to run Kodi on it?
Thanks
right on @
ashlar looking forward to testing it at some point in the future
the conversion on the fly due to bug and the "if display supports it" bother me a little bit
im using the hardware decoder for dolby vision but i choose to use a samsung tv with hdr10+ only so if its only going to go by "if display supports it" it wouldnt work for me
it needs to adopt the way kodi did where it pivots to "if decoder present" and most usually it will play correctly, cases where it does not display correctly wont even be different from before where neither way plays correctly

still, looking very hopeful for the future
i updated my first post since it was posted with out of date information
@
smallclone since that post is from coreelec then it suggests that "the best way to run kodi on it" would be to install coreelec

Yeah I was more alluding to the question of how you would install CoreELEC on the eMMC?

I noticed this thread for these boxes
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=372996 so might not be the perfect all in one box as it seems like they have an issue which Multichannel LPCM, at least there's is with the Android OS, however perhaps CoreElec being Linux based might solve this
