wakeboarder141 37 Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 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?
quickmic 1610 Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Please try "emby-next-gen 5.1.3" from emby-kodi-beta repo. Edited January 7, 2021 by quickmic

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. 1

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.
quickmic 1610 Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Ok, then please reset your database manually via plugin menu and disable 4.x version if not already is. Edited January 7, 2021 by quickmic

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.

quickmic 1610 Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Do you have file access to Nvidia Shield?

quickmic 1610 Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 If you have time, please try again with 5.1.5.

With 5.1.7 I got it all working except it still does not play Dolby Vision. It still reverts to HDR instead. 1
quickmic 1610 Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Not sure if this issue is related to the plugin. I still need a kodi.log file to investigate.

quickmic 1610 Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Thanks for the log. Have tried that: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/shield/support/shield-tv-pro/enable-dolby-vision-hdr10-on-shield/

Have tried that: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/shield/support/shield-tv-pro/enable-dolby-vision-hdr10-on-shield/ Dolby Vision is enabled because it works fine when using other apps like Emby and casting from my Android phone.
quickmic 1610 Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 With the same file? The log looks ok to me.
wakeboarder141 37 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Posted January 28, 2021 Yes, that file plays in Dolby Vision with the beta version of Emby.
quickmic 1610 Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 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.

quickmic 1610 Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 btw, can you try disable hardware acceleration as a test.
