Dolby Vision

[Sammy 793]

I am not exactly sure if I should put this here or in the server sub thread.

 

I use Emby for Windows server beta and generally keep it up-to-date every time there is a new update.

I also use Google TV devices such as the ONN Google TV or a native Google TV app built into the TV when playing Dolby Vision files.

Sometimes they fail completely or sometimes I get the green and purple hues. Other times they play fine. This seems to be file specific and occurs on TV's that don't natively support Dolby Vision.

Is this due to encoding or an issue with transcoding or an issue with the playback device?

Hi.  The ones that work have an HDR fallback and the ones that don't work, don't.

So fallback is encoded in the mkv?

 

It was a 43" TV in my bar so I just updated it to a Hisense TV that supports Dolby Vision. The 24" in the kitchen isn't worth the bother..

Provide mediainfo from one that works and one that doesn't, it will be apparent if it has an HDR fallback - the profile tells the story.
