From what I can tell, this doesn't support DV, it is only turning off Hardware Acceleration by default in Kodi. You can do the same thing in the Player settings in the official Kodi.
Dolby Vision is something that needs to be supported in the firmware of the android device to work correctly

Sorry if already asked but I didn’t find anything:
Using a new NVIDIA Shield pro, connected to Denon receiver that’s connected to Sony TV x90j.
When enabling both audio pass-through and running MP4 DV file, it’s starting to shutter and stuck. Without audio passthrough (just stereo PCM) it works, but also really sensitive and gets stuck sometimes.
Tried the build in start of thread and last 20.1 version, both look the same.
Any ideas? Or is it not possible currently? Cause same thig worked for me when I connected the Shield to LG C1 OLED.

There is a problem with the maven build of Kodi Nexus. Choosing "default selection action" as "show information" doesn't work as intended. I click on a movie and it just plays instead of opening the information. Not sure if this is a problem specifically with the maven build or Kodi 20.1 as a whole. Anyone else run into this?

I have kodi V21 installed on my Shield 2015, it's connected to my Marantz SR6014. My tv, Philips OLED873, does not support Dolby Vision, only HDR10.
Unfortunately all DV movies are green/purple. I was hoping V21 would solve the issue but I still have the same problem.
Do I need to provide logs or is this a known issue with the older shield?

The 2015 version doesn't support Dolby Vision.

My tv doesnt either. Isn't it supposed to switch to HDR10 then instead of trying to display DV which is incompatible and thus displaying a green/purple screen?

The TV will only switch to HDR if the the source file you are playing also has HDR10 encoded in the video stream, if it's purely DV then your stuck

Just installed v21 and my DV mkv file played perfect for the first time ever, but after stopping the file and playing again I get the "Dolby Vision" icon but a pink screen only and kodi simply freezes up.
So wierd it worked on first try and now will not work. Any thoughts? (I tried the maven build with no luck)
