Sorry for the other dummy question, but it seems that FEL content is not displayed correctly (everything is green). Is anyone facing similar issue?
Am I correct, that I need to convert those into MEL? Do you have any hint how to do that?
What device do you use?
RE: Kodi Android build with support for Dolby Vision MKV - gil80 - 2021-03-04
Hi guys,
Can someone please direct me to download demo DoVi files (Mp4/MKV) of various profiles MEL/FEL? I'd like to test them on my Shield using the build from the 1st post.
Thanks.

Hi! I am using the build from this thread. I tried playing all the test files on the Sony A1. They all get recognized as Dolby Vision, but there is a blue tint on all the scenes. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

I was able to play all the files on Kodi. I think the FEL and the Profile 7 files gave the wrong colours, but disabling and enabling DoVi on the Shield solved the problem.
Out of curiosity, I tried to test the internal TV player of my LG CX which supports DoVi. It can't play FEL and Profile 7. I mean, it doesn't trigger DoVi.
I thought my LG CX is a TV-led Dolby vision
RE: Kodi Android build with support for Dolby Vision MKV - Wagg - 2021-03-05
Unfortunately I'm getting stuttering (yes, I'm using framerate matching) on all Kodi builds on all my Shields (Pro, 2015 and 2017). Would love this build to be working on my 2019 Pro, but there is so much stutter it is unwatchable for me.
It seems that all the ExoPlayer based players on the Nvidia Shield work fine for me (Plex, Emby, Nova, VLC) , Kodi just stutters all over the place, not sure why. Love the functionality and extra features of Kodi, but I find it to be unwatchable. Not paying for a Plex Pass or any of that stuff- all I want to do is watch movies locally- and Kodi is perfect for me- when it works.
Hope you guys get everything working.

Until you post a full debug log no-one can really help.

There's no debug log to post because there's nothing wrong- it's just how Kodi is on the Shield. I've had multiple Shields since 2015 and Kodi has almost always had problems- I think it started around the Nougat firmware update, after that it was just never the same. Maybe I'm hypersensitive to it- but I definitely see a judder, especially during panning on film based (23.976) content. This is with framerate matching. With the Exoplayer based apps I don't see it.
I don't see it on my Coreelec boxes either.

I think that this build doesn't support profile 5 DV mkv's, is there a way we could fix this?

Read a few pages back.
Kodi isn't doing any decoding. It's the device surface media codec that does it.
So, two thing:
One, what exactly uses profile 5 except those test video?
Two, at least the shield does support it but I didn't give much time into testing because, honestly, it's just profile 7 that matters.

Oh just wanted to add that it plays perfectly fine in the mp4 container, so maybe there's a problem with my trying to transfer it to mkv
