frk1337 4 Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) The MKV standard was updated to properly support Dolby Vision and Plex has recently released support for it. I strongly dislike Plex (the performance is abysmal) and prefer Emby for 99% of the time, but DV support is really nice. Is there an ETA for Emby (on Android/Android TV and maybe iOS/tVOS) to support Dolby Vision in mkv? I use a Shield TV 2019 atm (and will get the new Apple TV 2020 4K when it get's released) and prefer DV to HDR10 (on my OLED LG). Edited October 24, 2020 by frk1337 1
FrostByte 5257 Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) You can try the ET for Android beta app which has the new Exoplayer Just sideload the apk in the first post of the link below and it's a separate app so you can have ET and ATV on your Shield at the same time.

FrostByte 5257 Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 What formats? I'm playing a mkv Dolby Vision movie right now. You may want to post in the beta section ebr also mentioned something about he may add the new Exoplayer with DV into the next round of beta for ATV.

FrostByte 5257 Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Which version of the app?

nisi22 0 Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 I am an Android TV User on LG CX over Shield 2019. The Android TV App is more suitable for TV App, so will there be an Dolby Vision Update for the ExoPlayer like Plex? That would be great, and I am switching Plex off.

The player appearance is a bit simple... When I play files with DV and DTS, DTS is not automatically transcoded to AC3 since I deactivated it on Shield. LG CX has no DTS passthrough and Sonos doesn't support DTS. But this should be fixed in the next release according to the moderators. Could you fix this problem temporarily in this player you posted?
Sylean 0 Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 I tried the beta version on android TV (Sony), and when I play Casino Royal, there is no DV in Emby. It's not a file problem since it's played fine by plex. Is there a setting I missed ? THanks, J

Even though the other guys are triggering DV, it is likely that the colors are not what they actually should be - but this could be content-specific.
Sylean 0 Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 Thanks you for the explanation ebr, how may I check the DV level on a file ? J.

Bill LeDuc 5 Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 Thank you FrostByte for pointing out the Emby Theater for Android beta. I was looking for a better client for nVidia Shield and this was a huge improvement. Only issue is I am using a Logitech remote via a USB dongle on the shield and I'm getting double keys on the arrow keys. Never seen it fail on any other app. I don't mind using the Shield remote. This has improved my Android TV experience immensely. 2
