Emby 4.8 Dolby Vision Playback not working

[byakuya32 24]

Dolby vision content is not playing in Dolby vision on my Dolby Vision capable TV. Here are the logs.

Your content is being transcoded due to quality settings:

TranscodeReasons=ContainerBitrateExceedsLimit

Make sure your in-app quality is set to a numerical value higher than item bitrate (in this particular example >50 Mbps) so item would DirectPlay and retain DV.

Why it's on auto I tried setting it manually and same thing. I also manually set to 100. It appears that it is tonemapping and I ask why? When the TV is Hdr and dolby vision. It was playing back just fine on 4.7. It is a Sony a80j running Android tv.

Post ffmpeg log for that session, as it might be transcoding for another reason now.

Yes would would need to see the server and ffmpeg log corresponding to that change.

other movies are not auto detecting right but if I manually set it to 100 it works that one if I set manually to 100 I loose sound and Dolby Vision does not work

is there a reason it is not auto detecting the bitrate correctly and having to manually set it? It is on a wired 100mbit connection. Other movies seem to work fine when I manually set the bit rate just the ones that use a .ts extension.

Is this on the local network, or a remote connection?

Local network but the server is on a different vlan

So it probably appears to be a remote connection from Emby Server's standpoint. If you're able to configure the LAN networks option to make the server think it's the same network, then auto will essentially become the same thing as unlimited.
