I'm not sure why @otarie is recommending the standard Matrix or Master version rather than the Matrix-FireTv or Master-FireTV for a FireTV device.

• .mkv DV runs really fine. I get the media flag on my TV 
  
• .mp4 DV - it dropped a lot of frames, not sure if it was the content but I tested with 2 different movies.
  
• Here is the debug info: http://paste.kodi.tv/qugovoxoto
  

• DV content, regardless of whether it is .mkv or .mp4: they display funny collors (purple and green). I would like say that the test was done on a non DV TV. I wanna make sure this solution is backwards compatilble: meaning, the same content I can run on a non Dolby Vision supported system as well.

I'm having trouble playing Dolby Vision files on my Sony X900F TV. I've tried using several versions of Kodi, including the front page and other Maven versions. But I always have the same result: The DV logo appears in the corner of the screen, the video is played, I get Dolby Atmos in my sound bar, but the colors are totally wrong. It's not the same when I play MP Classic on my computer, which doesn't have anything to play DV installed and everything turns purple and green. On TV's Kodi it doesn't look too bad, but all the colors look weird, faded and shifted. There's also a red haze in the black bars of the movie.

Can you tell me if any version of Kodi would solve this problem? Or my TV is not able to do this?

I'm running the files through a USB HD and 3 MKV files that I tested, they are displayed with this information in the media info:
Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.05.06, BL+RPU

If I can't play DV files on my TV, is it possible to fix it with a Firestick TV 4K? Or would it be necessary to purchase a Shield Pro?

Sorry if I asked any dumb question. But it's all a little new for me and I'm trying to learn

Thanks.

The build does not provide backwards compatibility (other than simply decoding the file) if your TV doesn't support it.
Kodi behaves as expected:

Quote:CDVDVideoCodecAndroidMediaCodec::Open Dolby Vision playback support: Display: false, MediaCodec: true

There's nothing to do until either image processing is implemented to process the image and make it into HDR10.
Though I'm unsure if it would ever be supported on Android.

How about the .mp4 DV dropping frames issue? I noticed that also happens with Shield TV PRO http://paste.kodi.tv/hezozavodi

When I first started looking for DV support and started using Maverns builds back in early Nov, the specific ‘FireTV’ builds did NOT include the DV support.
I don’t know if this has changed since then ?

But the standard Master and Matrix v7a versions have always worked perfect (for DV) on my FireSticks.
