Dolby Vision in 21.3 NG now uses source metadata by default in TV-led mode.
This can only be disabled by kernel param in /sys/module/amdolby_vision/parameters/dolby_vision_use_source_meta_levels.

There’s a new Kodi setting named “Override level 5 metadata to zero” which is enabled by default in TV-led mode.
It can be disabled to allow using source L5 meta but will not add zero L5 if it’s not present in source.
The reason it defaults to zero L5 is to avoid cropping GUI on some displays.

Overall these changes should make Dolby Vision output better and fix some playback bugs.

In Kodi 21.3 was fixed issue with cddb for faster playing of cd audio, but CE21NG and CE22NO have specific issue with original drm audio cd for set commands of using cdparanoia or libcdio (this is issue is at level of coreelec, not kodi). For faster cd audio with drm copy protection must be disable repairing of errors in case of audio cd.

I tried showed on this issue in this discussion before realising final ce 21.3:

Kodi 21.3 is out

CE21NG with build 21.3 is playing nice. CD playing always have issue, but CDDB is solved. When i tried all my media i explored that only CD/DVD with copy protection (drm) have issue of longer loading and temporarily freezing of kodi. Other unencrypted disc was readable immediately. https://paste.coreelec.org/TiptoeCheating Solution from linux world is based on aggresive ignoring of errors: [Screenshot_20251103_214451_Google]
