Hello, I am a neophyte in the Kodi application and in Dolby Vision as well, so sorry in advance if my questions are stupid or have already been answered, but I did not understand what exact type of Dolby Vision profile this 19.1 Kodi is capable to read
From what I've seen most of my MKV DV files are detected as follow by my MediaInfo : "HDR format : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.06, BL +EL +RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible".
Is this version of Kodi able to read this MKV DV profile ?
If yes, do I have to change a lot of settings into the Kodi app ? And does it flag "DV" into the app when selecting a file ? How can I know if DV is properly read by Kodi on my TV ? (my Sony A80J and my Kodi are still on their way so I cannot do any test by myself right now, that's why I am reading every forum to have a better understanding of these topics ^^)
If this version of Kodi is unable to read this MKV DV profile, it means I have to convert this MKV DV into a MP4 DV ? (and if I do this, can I still keep subtitles on my MP4 file ? and at least a DTS audio quality ? since I understood HD Audio cannot be on a MP4)
By the way is it the "kodinerds-20210508-85e05228b4-Matrix-arm64-v8a.apk" I should download ?
Thank you in advance for your help
