Can you point me which commit is responsible for DV in mp4?

No change has been done to Kodi to allow DV playback from mp4, we suspect it was something that came in via the last ffmpeg bump although no one appears sure exactly what enabled it to be done.

Hi @fandangos

what does it mean? Did you get mkv Dolby Vision to work with Kodi Matrix?

If so, can you please collaborate with @quietvoid ?

No, I have not.

I just wanted to figure out how much work is involved in getting mkv DV working.

Have you seen the ffmpeg changes take from the Plex version https://github.com/xbmc/FFmpeg/pull/18 however it seems however that alone is not enough, so perhaps so Kodi side changes are also required.

The specification change was https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/pull/7667
Exoplayer for Android added support so perhaps that might give hints https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/pull/7667

ok..

So, grabbing the latest ffmpeg directly from FFmpeg git wasn't enough?

I'm trying to compile the android version on linux as I type this and trying to figure out if changing
~/kodi/tools/depends/target/ffmpeg/FFMPEG-VERSION
BASE_URL=https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg

like so, could be an easy start to work with the latest ffmpeg.

It's building here.
