+---- Thread: Release [obsolete - now in nightlies] Build - Dolby Vision compatibility/quality improvements (/showthread.php?tid=371557)
RE: Build - Dolby Vision compatibility/quality improvements - quietvoid - 2023-09-09
Builds updated.
I've renamed the "Allowed HDR types" setting, so it's possible existing configurations need to be set again.

@quietvoid is the dv p7 to p8 conversion feature implemented in the Alpha 3 still works for streaming like your separate build, or there are some adjustments and it will only work for locally played files only?

Should work fine as long as FFmpeg is used to demux. I use PlexKodiConnect and that works.
The Alpha 3 build behaves the same as my builds, the code merged is the same.

@quietvoid Thanks for all the effort you've put into this! Just out of curiosity, on what level does your DV-solution differ from the one in Maven's builds? I've been using his Matrix build (he also provides Nexus and Omega builds) on a Shield TV Pro (2019) since April 2020, to be able to playback DV content (which is about 70% of my collection) and it has been working flawlessly for me. I'm glad to see the vanilla version of Kodi Omega now supports this as well.

Quote:This feature adds a setting under the Videos/Processing section.
Enabling the setting makes Kodi convert Dolby Vision profile 7 (single track/video) files into profile 8.1.
Profile 7 is from UHD Blu-ray discs, this only applies to local backups made by MakeMKV.
The setting also ignores the enhancement layer, so it does not get sent to the decoder.
It should help some devices that have issues when playing these type of files, such as blank screens or unstable playback.
Some known devices this could help: FireTV devices, possibly some Android TVs.
For a NVIDIA Shield, there's no more improvement from this build since the feature is in Kodi Omega Alpha 3.
Even the HDR format allow list isn't useful since the SHIELD has settings to disable Dolby Vision.

I was trying to setup pkc and I got a message saying this is not supported on kodi contact developer
I tried nexus stable and beta 3.8.0 branch / repo
Not sure what is missing
I also tried this in new alpha 3 release same exact error

It should look like "21: (121, 122, )," without the quotes.

Apparently I'm not allowed to edit my post, but I just wanted to add that @xconverge has already made a pull request which is waiting to be merged. So if you don't want to edit the file yourself, just wait for a new PlexKodiConnect release.

so then why not contact the developer as it told you to do? https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect

the user should still follow directions instead of reporting issues to places where it is unrelated to the topic at hand
the issue has nothing to do with kodi or this fork of kodi and should be reported in the correct place and would have been had the user followed directions
