Hi.  Licensed for exactly what?  What feature are you wanting?

[Ireseey 1]

I want Emby to play Dolby video directly, not by mapping to HDR or SDR

It's the client that has the license - so if you are referring to Dolby Vision - then the device will need to be DV capable to play DV.

Emby will play DV just fine on any client (hardware) that supports it.

How do you show that you have Dolby's authorization, I didn't find the relevant information. Playing Dolby on supported devices is not a mapping.

What's the actual problem that you have ?

For example - Are you trying to play a DV enabled file on a DV enabled client/hardware and it's not playing DV - dropping to HDR10 ?

What I would like to know is whether there is an introduction to your company's Dolby license on the Emby website or Dolby website

It was explained above that it is the client hardware that needs to have the DV capability - Emby does not make that.  Emby's software client is merely passing the video stream through to the device without doing DV processing, so Emby doesn't need a licence.  When the client does not have DV capability, Emby will do what it can using the HDR layer if present.

Thank you for your answer, I understand that Emby streams video to the playback device for hardware decoding, so it does not require a license from Dolby Video for software decoding
