DV is still kinda awful even with the APK support. It works well for local files but anything else like streaming, it struggles. For example, The Book of Boba Fett plays the largest files with no stutter, but cannot get past the first minute in DV. Hopefully, this will be fixed in the future.

Hey guys
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.

Thanks for this and DV files finally playing via Kodi (Sideload) via my LG DV TV and my Shied TV Pro.
Very quick question to the fantastic developers of this app.... I can see that link on the 1st page is for Kodi 19.0 and just want to check when this patch version available in Kodi 19.3.
Big thanks again....

For the record I use the lastest Master v7a on my FireStick 4K and FireStick Max, these seem to work fine and I update maybe once every 2 weeks.
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.
