I think it's the other way around. HDR10+ is FREE! They have no reason to pay for anything. And Amazon is just about the biggest company in the world, and a vast many people are using Fire devices to watch media. You really think Amazon are going to spend money to reconfigure all of their own devices and then pay Dolby on top of that? I find it highly unlikely that Amazon will yield to anyone. But in the end, I don't think is really matters. Both formats are equally as easy to produce. Both of them will likely be around for a long time.

They already are - the latest Amazon Cube now supports Dolby Vision.. At the end of the day, format wars suck for the consumer - you are left with devices that may not be able to play the best version or worse still not play it back at all.

Luke 36997 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Hi, have you tried with 4.7.0.35? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softworkz 3325 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 This is one of those DoVi profiles that we cannot tone map. iOS can play it because Apple have a license. The only public implementation that can deal with those colors is in libplacebo which MPV player is using, but it requires Vulkan support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanmaCanada 335 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 People need to learn DolbyVision is proprietary. Not every device can play every profile. Make sure what your devices can play before you grab stuff. This is NOT the fault of the Emby Dev team. This is your fault for grabbing the wrong content. DolbyVision has a serious learning curve. If you want to swap profile levels, there is a tool that is available though you do need to learn how to use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauder 17 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 If you can play Dolby Vision and use a tool like Radarr, you can tell it not to take those files. I use this page for all my custom formats, It has a block for Dolby Vision, just set it to a negative score. https://trash-guides.info/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just been grabbing a different rip. But stumbled across this thread while trying to determine the cause. An interesting read on the 'format' wars, guess as consumers we will always have to work around one format over another. This thread on custom formats for radarr is a great resource. I will have a proper read through and reset all of my quality settings using the posted custom formats. Hopefully that will stop all of these purple/green files. I generally don't check grabbed files until I sit down to watch them. I want an automated system, these custom formats look like they will help me take this to another level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoomerGamer62 18 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Not sure if this has been said already, but one option is to run the DV video through a converter. I had this same problem with it looking green and purple. I ran it through the convert option on VLC media player. I set it to a standard .mp4 file for conversion. It worked, and full color restored! Downsides (at least with VLC) -- took about 30 minutes to convert a one hour video, and it wasnt 4k any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softworkz 3325 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 VLC does not support those DOVI profiles with false colors. So, I'm not sure what you're talking about. Maybe something different. Just try to "convert" the containers demo, which you can download here: https://www.demolandia.net/4k-video-test/dolby-vision/page-1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoomerGamer62 18 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Thats my point. Since VLC doesnt support DOVI, when you run a video with DOVI encoding through the VLC convert process, what you're left with is a video without DOVI -- and no more purple/green videos..

softworkz 3325 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 That doesn't work. Only a DOVI decoder can convert the false colors to correct colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an issue with your hardware and codec support for Dolby Digital. Which not a lot of devices carry as it’s closed source, and thus they have to pay a licensing fee.

katbyte 21 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 @marauder some of the devices are a sony master series andriod tv + an apple TV + m1 macbook pro + iphone 14 pro. I am fairly certain these devices support DV as other applications play DV just fine. In fact infuse tv plays the exact same video on them from emby without any problems leading me to believe it is an issue with the emby application itself. Not only that if the devices didn't support DV I would hope that the emby is able to transcode and tonemap it to a format that works for them just as it does with other incompatible media.

jiggity 21 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Another thing to consider with DV playback is the MKV container is fairly new with support for it and there is relatively limited support for it and DV. If you want to have more 'legacy' support for DV playback try and obtain MP4 encoded files instead. This will not help if the device you are trying to playback on doesn't support DV at all, however, nor fix any tone mapping issues with transcoding. DV just be like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
