Dolby Vision in Kodi


Recommended Posts

I downloaded the Emby Beta on my Nvidia Shield so I can finally utilize Dolby Vision, but it doesn't work when using Emby for Kodi.  Is there a way to also enable it though that app?

Please try "emby-next-gen 5.1.3" from emby-kodi-beta repo.

Have you used native or addon-mode in e4k?

Please try "emby-next-gen 5.1.3" from emby-kodi-beta. I assume could be a file tagging issue.

 

I am currently using addon mode.  I have not updated my embi for kodi add on yet, just the Android TV beta.  I just wasn't sure if the functionality was also available through that add on.  I will try updating that.

I can't get that app to work.  After installing it and letting it update the libraries I get a spinning circle and then errors out when trying to access any of the libraries.  I tried it using both addon mode and native with no luck.

Ok, then please reset your database manually via plugin menu and disable 4.x version if not already is.

I have done multiple local database resets switching between native and add one mode.  4.1 add on is disabled.  Still errors out when clicking on the library.

I'm familiar with the regular Emby logs, but how do I get the log from Kodi?  I am using an Nvidia Shield.  Thanks.

Do you have file access to Nvidia Shield?

If you have time, please try again with 5.1.5.

I finally got back to it today.  With 5.1.7 I got it all working except it still does not play Dolby Vision.  It still reverts to HDR instead.

Not sure if this issue is related to the plugin. I still need a kodi.log file to investigate.

Hopefully this works.

With the same file? The log looks ok to me.

Yes, that file plays in Dolby Vision with the beta version of Emby.

ok, I assume this more a issue of Kodi, not of the plugin. Could be also related to ffmpeg. I let you know, if I find something.

And you can try to upgrade to Kodi 19.

The video buffers and doesn't play correctly with hardware acceleration disabled.  I can try upgrading later.  Thanks.
