This last build can also play blu-ray rips with full Java menu functionality.

Thanks!

SO I just tried it, and I do get DV working. But, when I turn on my Receiver for pass thru TrueHD via earc, I only get HDR. I actually get the same problem with Maven's Nexus build.

The Maven Matrix build works fine with or without the receiver on.

Anyone else experiencing the same?

TIA!

If I understand correctly you need to wait for tomorrow's build:

Can you enable Debug logging and look for this line: "CDVDVideoCodecAndroidMediaCodec::Open Dolby Vision playback support: ... " and tell what you have instead of ... when file is played back as HDR?

Hi

This is what I see before I turn on my receiver:
CDVDVideoCodecAndroidMediaCodec::Open Dolby Vision playback support: Display: true, MediaCodec: true

This is what I see after:
CDVDVideoCodecAndroidMediaCodec::Open Dolby Vision playback support: Display: false, MediaCodec: true

Like I said, receiver is connected over EARC.

Appreciate any help or guidance!

OH man! Seeing the above, made me think.

I'm using a Shield 2019, which recently has a "dolby vision" option in the display settings. I had set it to "on", But when I turn my receiver on, it goes to off. It seems that the SHield keeps profiles, so I turned it on, and I get DV!! I was having this same problem on Maven's Nexus build too, but thats now resolved too!

I double checked, and the shield holds the DV on setting whether the receiver is on or off

Thanks again!!!!!!

Kodi Matrix didn't check display DV capability that's why it is working. Your android box removes Display DV capability for unknow reason when you switch on your receiver.
It's worth checking HDMI settings and set them up to 4k if it's not set up already.
For LG TV it's in General->Devices->HDMI Settings->HDMI Deep Colour->4k.

Otherwise there is a need to create a new Kodi setting to override Display capabilities to be able to watch DV files on broken android boxes or broken hardware.

So, this thread can be removed from important list and maybe locked.
Unless people want to keep discussing specific hardware problems with Dolby Vision content.

But that's only added to the master, right? I don't expect that this will end up in the official K19/K20 repos.

Correct.

For Kodi 19/20 it would require someone backporting the current FFMpeg and the mentioned commit.

Who can do it?

Or someone builds Kodi based on ffmeg 4.4 including https://github.com/xbmc/FFmpeg/pull/24 and backports the recent PR for Kodi v21

RE: Kodi Android build with support for Dolby Vision MKV - tfouto - 2023-01-20

There is no build of 19.5. Is it possible to create a 19.5 build?

Thanks
