RE: Build - Dolby Vision compatibility/quality improvements - izprtxqkft - 2024-01-22
strictly opinion, if there is concern of users mistakenly using these on production builds and messing things up then just make them advanced settings only like the rest of the settings average users shouldn't touch
RE: Build - Dolby Vision compatibility/quality improvements - quietvoid - 2024-01-26
I've made a new version that supports all possible HDR10+ cases.
Unfortunately it's a quite larger patch: https://github.com/quietvoid/xbmc/commit/18da398112d94ccb517813f8110a9742747a73bb
I don't think I can find ways to refine it myself so I plan to open a PR this weekend.
As it turns out there is existing code to parse SEI in BitstreamConverter.cpp except it's specifically AVC/H.264 only.
So I reimplemented HEVC SEI parsing as I've done for my other projects but in C++ this time.

thank you so much @quietvoid for this kodi fork
coming from a CCGTV i switched to the fireTV 4k Max bc it supported DTS/Dolby:HD passthrough..... only to learn that Amazon screwed up DV playback (why can't these multi billion dollar companies release products that _just_ work T_T)
anyway after a lot of trial and error and staring at blank black screens while DV videos were playing on kodi i finally found this fork.
disabling HDR10+ did the trick for me. Videos mostly affected in my case are
Code:
Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.08.06, BL+RPU, HDR10 compatible / SMPTE ST 2094 App 4, Version 1, HDR10+ Profile B compatibleanyway. thanks again! and i hope this feature (disabling metadata) makes it into the official kodi

PR: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/24584
I'm in the process of building another set of APKs with the reworked HDR10+ code for testing.
It will be based on Kodi master and not the latest Beta.
I tested manually with existing sample files as well as one with the rare HDR10+ cases.
Old build: doesn't play.
New build: plays.

Thank you so much for your build, for samsung tv owners this fork is a must. Your newest version that was released yesterday, runs much faster on my Amlogic s928x-j soc, and the scrapping is much faster

RE: Build - Dolby Vision compatibility/quality improvements - boboc - 2024-01-28
Yes, they should but I guess the build has outdated because the PR was updated.
You can find the latest build of the PR by scrolling to end of the PR page, then in the box just above of answer field there is a text "All checks have passed" and a link "show all checks". Click on the link. Then you'll see text "You're awesome. Have a cookie" and a link "Details" at the right. Click on that link and you'll be navigated to Jenkins build page for this PR. Click on the link for your platform: "android-arm-docker (android-arm-docker)" for Android 32 Bit or "android-arm64-docker (android-arm64-docker)" for 64 bit. Another page will be opened and at the beginning of the page you'll see a link to apk.

Cheers. I've updated both title/body of the forum post to reflect this.
There should be no more need for this custom build now.
