Dolby Vision

[Dream76 2]

Any update on Dolby Vision pass through? I have a Roku TV that supports DV. My files only play in HDR.

HI, do they direct play in the Emby Roku app? This is something that gets handled automatically by the Roku video player.

If it's already direct playing, then our only option is to report the issue to Roku, and they may very well come back and say that Dolby Vision licensing doesn't allow them to make the feature available to all apps.

On the other hand, if it's not direct playing, then maybe we can look at how to make that happen.

It shows direct play, and it's reporting DoblyVision in the stats for nerds. The TV has a feature that shows in the top right-hand corner if the content is HDR, HDR+, or DolbyVision. The TV only goes into HDR mode.

Most Roku TV models made presently only support DolbyVision inside the MP4 container. You can try posting in the thread above and getting a response from Roku. Emby is allowing the Roku to access the file directly unmodified and the Roku video player has control of the playback. We cannot force the video player to choose. Roku themselves determine this support.

I will test an MP4 container file

i have had an issue where my Roku ultra played Dolby vision movies and now it has stopped playing them for some weird reason. it just plays the movies as though they are regular hd movies now. and also through the emby app on m TV it does the same exact thing now. so it is definitely something within emby that has changed. i have played the same movies that have worked in Dolby vision flawlessly before and now they don't play in dv at all nothing has changed except we have been moved against our will to beta versions on truenas scale.

movies still play direct play i haven't changed any settings at all. i still cop my uhd movies with make mkv which puts them into an mkv and keeps everything original on the movie dv and da.

Thanks

Hi.  If that is the case, then it can't be Emby.  As noted above, Roku is in control of this.

 

Let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Oh but it is emby because the tv diesnt work anymore for dv either and it's a Google tv everything worked fine until we were forced to use the beta emby on truenas scale when that happened dv stopped working so it definitely is emby
