LqHnyBear 23 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Emby version 4.6.4.0 on Windows Anything I play with Dolby Vision has a purple hue to it. I'm trying on my firestick 4k on my samsung tv which is HDR and Dolby Vision compatible, on my iPhone 11 and on my PC on a 4k monitor. They all get this weird purple hue to it. Is there a setting I should change somewhere? The file is not transcoding it's playing direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your video has only DV then it will look either purple or green. However, if your video has DV and HDR10 layers then it should discard the DV layer and still play HDR10 HDR format with both a DV and a HDR10 layer HDR format : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible example of video with only a DV layer HDR format : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.05.06, BL+RPU Your best bet is to redownload a version w/o DV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LqHnyBear 23 Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 Damn, you're right. I don't know why I thought I had DV on my TV..... DAMN! Thank you for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5061 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 NP. Most UHD movies that have DV will also have a HDR10 layer so you should be good playing those and your TV will just discard the DV layer and still trigger HDR. It's just the stuff from streaming services that usually only has one or the other layer and our Samsung TVs don't know what to do with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pir8radio 1293 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) I’m seeing this purple hue. Even in the scene captures. Cool thing about emby is it make the media playable on any device. Is there not something that can be auto so I can watch these on non dv tv’s? both of these movies have the purple hue video info attached Edited November 8, 2021 by pir8radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5061 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Why not just redownload a version of the movie without the DV in the filename? For example, skip anything which is WEB-DL and has DV as it will only have just the one layer. Finch 2021 2160p ATVP WEB-DL DDP5 1 Atmos HDR H 265-FLUX Finch 2021 2160p ATVP WEB-DL DDP5 1 Atmos DV HEVC-FLUX There is no second HDR10 layer to fall back on with these like there is with UHD so the only other choice would probably be to transcode/TM the file, but I would rather have the movie DP myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I’m saying. I only want to keep one video file. Plays in my living room fine. But nowhere else. And scene captures are purple too. No way to have this version transcode for non dv clients? Guess I’ll have to re download. Meh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5061 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Ahh, ya this was talked about a little in the ATV beta section awhile back. ATV already knows whether the whole chain supports DV or not when you look at SFN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tone mapping on the server can do that but you need to cause a transcode for that to work. There is currently no way for the app to tell the server that it should transcode to do the tone mapping so, for now, you could use playback correction to force the transcode and get tone mapping in the process.

Would it be possible in the future for the app to do this automatically since it already knows if the chain doesn't support DV. Of course this would be fore single layer DV only. Dual layer should be handled the way it is now and passthrough HDR10 Edited November 8, 2021 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now I"m just using filters to prevent getting any DV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14960 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Yeah, let's look at details. I seem to recall there may be some types of DV that cannot be tone mapped but don't quote me on that. @softworkz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostByte 5061 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I was able to successfully create my own DV profile 8.1 file from yesterday's episode of Hawkeye. Used the RPU from the DV profile 5 HEVC track and integrated it with the HDR10 version then remuxed back in. It takes a bit of time, but for those who have a mixture of DV and non-DV sets it may be another option to keeping two versions of everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
