How about cases with layer 8.x, is it also recommended to use player led mode?
EDIT: With player led mode disabled, I can playback DV files only with color sampling forced to 4:2:2 it seems. The TV stops accepting the input if it’s set to Auto.
With player led mode enabled - color sampling must be set to 4:2:2, for the tv to accept the signal in some cases, right?
Is this the recommended way to do it - keeping forced 4:2:2 for all videos, and player led DV mode enabled?
Tried the test video, the color banding indeed seems worst with player led enabled and 4:2:2.
But there is also some banding (worse in the beginning with darker colors, gets better when brighter) with subsampling set to auto and player led disabled.
By the way, I tried to set forced RGB, in this case I get a black screen even with player led disabled. I’m not sure which subsampling gets selected with auto (don’t know how to check, tv is LG C1).
So I guess it’s back to keeping player led disabled and subsampling set to auto for me.
Thanks, I tried looking for this hidden menu some time ago, but maybe I used the wrong combination then. So now it worked for me and I see RGB mode, on auto subsampling setting. Still, if I choose forced RGB mode, the screen is black (though dolby vision logo appears).
Anyway, this doesn’t change the fact that color banding is more obvious when using player led and 4:2:2, compared to disabled player led mode and subsampling set to auto. (on an LG C1 tv)
I didn’t want to open a discussion. I just wanted to make a point about DV decoding to avoid depending on specific licensed HW as much as possible.
By example, many New TV sets don’t support DTS, however, thanks Kodi allows DTS decoding and eArc festures, you can send PCM to those TV sets, and passthrough eArc to AVR if available.
And HDfury, as far as I know, don’t perform any complex tone mapping (LLDV already goes with correct BT2020) , just add HDR10 infoframe so HDR10 display triggers to HDR10 mode to show correct frames.
Still confused about the DV settings that should be used. I’ve tried profile 8 test clips and both player led enabled and disabled the appearance is the same to my eyes. When looking at the player debug display, the output format and color sampling seem to be the same for both as well. Is this just because my TV doesn’t support higher than 4:2:2 for the material? SDR and I think also HDR is output at 12-bit 4:4:4.
