Interesting DV

General

CoreELEC doesnā€™t support DV right now, at all.
It also depends on your device, most of them donā€™t support DV either.

Your file is pure DV, it doesnā€™t have any fallback layers such as HDR10, therefore itā€™s played in wrong colors.
You can try to play it directly from your TVā€™s player.

Good Morning,

Is there away to enable Dolby Vision on CoreELEC on Minix U22. ā€¦As Currently Iā€™m in a huge dilemmaā€¦ I like CoreELEC as its light weight and Dolby Atmos and DTS X Passthrough Work without any issues, as these donā€™t work on Android but on the other Hand Dolby Vision doesnā€™t Work and iā€™m stuck with HDR 10 @ 10BITā€¦ whilst if i use kodi on the Minix Android OS Dolby vision works and there a difference in the picture quality.

Thanks,
Et

No, there is no way

Thanks for your reply. I assumed that is the reply unfortunatelyā€¦ It seems that this isnā€™t something which is going to happen any time soon.

You can search the forum.
It was explained many times.

And unfortunately you may get it two years from now.

(Just add a rule to ignore files with ā€˜DV.ā€™ in their name in your downloading (if that is what youā€™re doing) - and move on with your lifeā€¦with any luck HDR10+ will become dominant and another stupid proprietary format will kick the bucketā€¦)

The only solution when someone build a 32-bit CoreELEC.

Most hardware doesnā€™t support DV regardless if the software does

@bossanova808 that will never happen. Itā€™ll be the other way around. DV is the dominant dynamic HDR As opposed to HDR10+, as Netflix have them onboard. Scale wins, but whatever.

How much work would it take for a 32bit CoreELEC?

102

I did it once but with lots of stuff disabled. Itā€™s possible but too much work too little time.
If I would guess I would say 3-6 months if someone works full time on it.

Hi all,

Probably been asked before, and also probably a noob question but I would appreciate an answer.

I have an Odroid N2 running the latest CE Matrix thatā€™s connected to a compatible DV TV. I know CE and the N2 do not support DV, but what is the result if I try and play a DV video?

TIA and sorry about the noob question again.

EDIT: My reason for asking is Iā€™m having issues streaming a 4K 18Mbps DV video on the N2 from a Hosted Plex Server. The video is very jerky, buffering and skipping forward just 1 minute or resuming just gives me a black screen forever and the waiting symbol.

If I have the same video, 4K 18Mbps, but in HDR and not DV thereā€™s no issues at all.

Wrong colors - not watchable

The results of trying to watch a DV video, depends on the type of DV video you are trying to play.
It can range from doesnā€™t play to color being off to nothing noticeable besides it just not being played in DV.

I have some Dolby Vision .MP4 files that are only supported on my Android TV with a modified/special (but old) version for Android ā†’ GitHub - fandangos/Kodi-HDR-Edition: Kodi HDR Edition
(The issue is the typical green/violet coloring. Same issue with Kodi-Nexus on Win10 and Android)

Will this issue be sorted out in future Kodi/CoreElec releases?
(I can give info on the file/codecs, if you tell me how) :slight_smile:

When you would have used the board search function you should have your answer already.
