Old original post here:
With so much discussion on the other thread it's a good idea to organize all the information into a single thread and update this main post as needed.
Dolby Vision on Android Status
1. Nvidia is working in fixing Dolby Vision bugs with the Plex team.Souce here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/for...y/2980521/
2. Kodi uses FFMpeg and Dolby Vision inside matroska files uses an extended block that needs to be seen by FFmpeg and passed to Kodi to send to the decoder.
Dolby Vision MKV is not yet implemented in FFMpeg. While FFMpeg doesn't add support, there's nothing Kodi can do.
3. Plex uses FFMpeg serverside so @quietvoid made a diff so we cherry picked the changes and added to the custom builds you see in this thread.
4. Support for the Nvidia Shield was accomplished but other Android devices were not working.
@quietvoid added support for FireStick and maybe some other Android TVs.
5. Playback isn't flawless so a safe measure that prevents Kodi from crashing and hanging was added.
This has a set back that you might need to try to start the movie a few times before it actually works.
If you are facing wrong colors, stuttering...
This is beta running on a yet-to-be-patched firmware from Nvidia. So if you are experiencing any playback problems you can:
Restart the Nvidia Shield or any other player.
Or disable and enable again Dolby Vision.

Right now I have my main PC for Matrix aarch64 64 bits builds and my notebook for Matrix arm 32 bits.
So, for now, I won't be doing a Leia build.
