Hi , is it possible to add an option to enable / disable Dolby Vision ? This option exist with VimuPlayer , and it's a good way to eradicate troubles with some DV releases...

Hi.  What exactly do you mean by "disable Dolby Vision"? 

[justinrh 260]

I would think he meas to turn off that functionality, in other words, have it not work.  E.g., Shield has an option to turn off Vision.

You're right , even if I can disable Dolby Vision directly on the Shield , I would like to disable DV from time to time on the Emby Client because sometimes DV profiles ( FEL , MEL , 5 , 7 , 8.... ) make troubles.

I can do it with VimuPlayer ( it downgrades to HDR ) which is based on Exoplayer too so....why not with Emby client !

At this time, emby doesn't recognise the fact is is DV to begin with...  on a directly play, it simply passes through the video - it is the playback hardware then recognise as having a DV encode and it activates DV.

Once emby gets DV identification (soon I think), then I too think this would be a nice addition - maybe in the Diagnostic Options Plugin as a temporary 'switch'.   @softworkz

Hi everyone,

 

I wasn't aware that Emby supports Dolby Vison with Fire TV. Is it the fire TV Cube V3. only or are there other Fire TV devices which are supporting Dolvy Vison ? And is Audio Passthrough supported at the same time (so connect the Fire TV to the AV receiver (which supports DV passthrough) ?

 

I really would consider to buy a Fire TV when DV and Audio Passthrough is supported (today I am using CoreELEC Kodi V20 and and I am fully satisfied - except the missing DV support).

Take a look here -

The latest FireTV 4K Max and latest Cube definitely support DV.

thanks - very helpful. So everthing which is supported by the FireTV itself is also supported by the Emby app - correct ?

Yes.

Dolby Vision works on the FireTV 4K stick - as long as the DV layer is MEL, not FEL.

If it's FEL, you get audio but a blank screen.  My TV recognizes that it's a DV source but won't display it.  With MEL is recognizes and displays properly.
