That does not matter. All the mkv bits (which check for the profile) are patched in from externally. FFmpeg does not remove certain features from 4.1 to 4.3.

Sorry, maybe I understand you completely wrong. In my understanding Plex never contributed their mkv Dolby Vision code back to the official FFmpeg code. The work of some developers here is not ported to FFmpeg. There is nothing FFmpeg could remove. It’s not there...

Can you please clarify your answer a bit? Thanks.

Other than that: Is there as of now any other devices than the Shield, that is doing DV as half-baked (firmware bug in shield) or even better? Or do we currently discuss a Shield-Only feature here?

At the moment here are mainly Shield 2019 Pro users.

But what about the following platforms? Maybe these are also candidates:

• Amazon FireTV Stick 4K
• Windows 10 App „Dolby Vision Extensions“
• Amlogic S905X2 and S905Y2 ( https://androidpctv.com/comparative-amlo...x2-s905y2/ )

quietvoid is working on FireTV 4K Stick compatibility.

In those testbuilds for kodi the plex bits of their ffmpeg was extracted and included in these builds here.

For now the kodi part of DV is exactly three lines of code: if we have DV found, tell the decoder to use the DV version. That's all. Kodi side for now is no rocket science at all. The fancy stuff happens in the ffmpeg bits.
