OK it is only on some rips buggy, some work great

Thanks for the info. What about the inbuilt movieplayer does that trigger DV on both and how stable is the playback? Are you also getting Atmos (within TrueHD)?

Update: I was able to get DV to trigger in this Kodi build with display mode “Dolby vision enable with low latency (YUV)” (the only option I have besides DV disabled)
I was stupidly testing with the play store version. However I cannot DV to work at all with the inbuilt movieplayer.
Atmos pass through on Kodi is also unstable and cuts out every few seconds. Atmos works fine in Coreelec.
Coreelec with DV would be ultimate. Really wish they would do a 32 bit build so they can include DV support

Are you saying you were able to get DV to trigger with ISO file that has both HDR/DV content?

Set the shield output to YCBCR 422 HDR Dolby Vision 60hz.
There's no reason to use 23hz in Kodi OSD.

There's no need to use any resolution in whitelist, unless you have an external upscaler like the Envy by Madshi.

Let kodi with the default resolution to 4k 60hz.

Enable change refresh rate.
And set on start/stop.

From day one that I have build the first apk there's no micro stuttering except in a very very specific use case like Hoppel that wants (for some reason) to have 23.976fps movies to be played at 50fps which is common to PAL regions and it's not a number that can have 3.2 pulldown.

The rest, if I had to guess, is people how read about it here and just see motion judder caused by 23.976 content and refers to it as micro stuttering.
What you are seeing is the frame being displayed for a longer time during 1 second, this causes motion blur. This is a native problem to flat panel displays.

If you want this gone, you can do frame interpolation, many tvs have this and you will get the famous Soap Opera effect.

Or you can use black frame insertion. This will add a black frame between every frame which will solve motion blur and judder but will cause a significant reduction of brightness.

But again, when we use the exact same box, the exact same software and some have this problem and some others don't the only logical conclusion is: there's some setting you are turning it on that's causing this.

Stop over complicating stuff and leave everything to default and just enable change refresh rate.

So, I went through and made sure I was using the same settings (only real difference: My TV doesn't advertise dolby vision for 4k@60hz, only [email protected], so that's what the shield is set to.  In multiple MakeMKV ripped DV MKVs (Multiple Game of Thrones episodes) I get hitches in playback - audio keeps going but picture freezes.. anywhere from a fraction of a second to several seconds, and then I get frame skips (the video appears fastforwarded) until the video catches up with the audio.  Same MKVs in mainline Matrix play perfectly at HDR10, no 'microstuttering' or 'macrostuttering'.

I've tried rebooting the shield before tests to make sure nothing else is running in the background, and it doesn't seem to help consistently.  Sometimes it plays the files pretty well with minimal stuttering, other times it's basically unwatchable.

True, this problem still exists but come on, the difference is so incredibly negligible it's laughable that a few people are actually outraged over this issue.

definitely not negligible on my OLED in a pitch-black room. I bet your TV is not professionally calibrated if you don't care about this kind of accuracy. Nothing wrong with you but laughing at those who care about accuracy is not cool.
The only thing laughable is NVIDIA incapability of fixing the issue when literally every single other streaming devices don't have problems ( firestick, dune, chromecast, ugoos)

The shield can play FEL files but it's not decoding the EL and it uses only the dynamic metadata in RPU. So you don't get the full DV experience.
The only devices that can do FEL are bluray players, Ugoos/minix and Chromecast(not confirmed). Even the expensive Dune player that support DV ISO cant even decode FEL.

About the red push issue, check at the 2-minute mark in the Doctor Sleep bluray disc. The difference between my Bluray player X700 and my shield is night and day.
