Dolby Vision files are now supported with tone mapping (so they can be watched on non-HDR displays) in Jellyfin as per https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/commen..._is_coming using GPU acceleration & ffmpeg 5.x.
Jellyfin does it server-side... but that's effectively the same as doing the conversion in Kodi when Kodi is playing the video.
It would be nice to get that support in Kodi. (Especially since Kodi is a popular front-end for Jellyfin.)
Jellyfin uses their own ffmpeg fork (basically mainline plus their patches). It looks like there are many dolby vision tone map support fixes recently: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-ffm...s/jellyfin
It has also been suggested that using libplacebo might be one way to accomplish this.
via https://github.com/haasn/libplacebo: "libplacebo currently supports Vulkan (including MoltenVK), OpenGL, and Direct3D 11. It contains backwards compatibility code for very old versions of GLSL down to GLES 2.0 and OpenGL 1.3 and very old Direct3D feature levels down to 9_1."
