They added the ability to change cache options directly from the GUI (services in expert mode), really useful for 4K streaming via WiFi LAN.
Thank you.
It'll have to wait until the next Beta release.

I've noticed that there is a slight audio delay introduced on the files that are converted from DV7 to DV8. Is this a known issue?

No, it shouldn't have any impact.
Works fine for me.

4K Max and 2nd edition (2023), no delay caused by Kodi.
If there's any delay, it's present without the compatibility mode.

quietvoid obviously has no time to create builds on a regular basis. If you want to try more recent builds I recommend Maven's Kodi-Builds. These builds include the fix from quietvoid and are updated regularly.

I just uploaded new builds rebased on Kodi 21 Omega Beta 2.

I would just like to say thank you for all the effort and work you put into this to make it work.
Its greatly appreciated and because of you, many of us will get to watch our DV movies (Without black screen) for many many hours with our families.

I thought the stuff was now included in the official build?

Only the Dolby Vision compatibility mode is merged upstream.
The HDR format selection/disable setting isn't.
RE: Build - Dolby Vision compatibility/quality improvements - Sholander - 2023-12-14
Just to mention, "HDR format (HDR10+ and Dolby Vision) selection/disable setting" is included in Maven's Kodi builds for FireTV, where they are really needed...

Delete.
RE: Build - Dolby Vision compatibility/quality improvements - ambulancePilot - 2023-12-21
I have read through this thread and still don't fully understand the issue or the fix.
All I know for sure is that I'm unable to play DV and HDR10+ hybrid files on the official Kodi omega beta 2.
How does this fix address that issue? And which part of the fix has been back ported?
Thank you kindly to the person who is able to make me understand this!

This build is removing either Dolby Vision or HDR10+ from the video bitstream, which fixes the hardware decoding issue that's causing a blank screen.
The fix isn't upstream in official Kodi builds.
