Status of Dolby Vision Profile 5.0 transcoding?


Recommended Posts

Ive seen a couple of threads for DV Profile 5.0 for clients without the necessary hardware.  I was just wondering what the status is?  

If the delay is due to performance issues, I understand that realtime streaming may not be possible yet while its figured out.  However, as a holdover solution, would it make sense to add this ability to the conversion system?

This way if a client was having the issue, they could kick off a conversion?

TIA

People forget DV is proprietary and any work on it without the proper licensing is against copyright. Emby is legally limited to what ffmpeg can do. Projects like Jellyfin can skirt the law as there are far too many developers for them to go after. You are honestly better off to convert the files yourself with the tools that are available, or source the proper files, or tell your friends family to buy the right freaking hardware, which for DV profile 5 it's not really feasible so we're back to steps 1 and 2.
