If they fail ... we need to invest in a "allow list" approach, sadly (new word for blacklist I was told, from someone writing from a foxcon IPhone claming I would support slavery).
I tested on a Philips TV (48OLED935) running Android Pie 9.0 with @fandangos latest Jenkins build (kodi-20201222-c43636da-master-armeabi-v7a).
I was able to play all 5 test MKVs, but the first one (P4) gave me over-saturated colors. And for the P7_FEL one to play I had to play the P81 file first, otherwise it would have the wrong (purple/green) colors.
DV MKVs created with MakeMKV from UHD blu-rays worked well and switched the TV into DV mode. I also tested an MP4 with DV and that also worked.
Now this build uses dvh1 for all MKVs and the MP4 file was played using dvhe, but if I understand correctly that doesn't really make a difference?
