Hey so plex strips the HDR and dolby vision when playing to ensure you get those, use an external player with those it works.

Hello,

I'm using an iFFALCON 65U95A TV with both the Emby Android app and the Emby Android TV app.

I've noticed significant differences between the two applications.

1. Emby Android App:

• Movie and TV show posters load slowly.

• Browsing the library and navigating menus feels sluggish.

• When playing a 70 GB Dolby Vision movie, seeking forward or backward causes freezes and noticeable delays.

2. Emby Android TV App:

• Movie and TV show posters load quickly.

• Library browsing and menu navigation are smooth.

• The same 70 GB movie plays smoothly, without freezing.

• However, some Dolby Vision videos do not activate Dolby Vision mode during playback.

My internet connection and server hardware have been checked and ruled out as possible causes. Other devices play the same content without these issues.

My questions:

• Why is the Emby Android app significantly slower than the Android TV app?

• Could the Android app have performance issues when handling large Dolby Vision files?

• Why does the Android TV app fail to activate Dolby Vision mode with certain Dolby Vision files?

• Are there plans to improve the performance and Dolby Vision compatibility of both applications?

I'd appreciate any feedback from the Emby development team.

Thank you!

We'd have to look at a specific example but best guess is it is a DV profile that is not supported by your TV.
