I have HDR10/HDR10+ android tv and use it as my PC display. Use DV10 or LLDV conversions onboard and output either native DV or pre-processed HDR10 streams

Several higher priced 'HDMI processor's' 400$-4000$ Premium version, otherwise similar to the dune/zidoo Supports more 'out in the wild' DV formats/ripsĪuto fixes some meta values and remuxes if needed Have a special 'Dune HD Dolby Vision Purifier engine' Use 'dolby VS10' also via internal player or there own media centerĪllows to switch from linux based Dune OS to Android TV Setup via external player works for supported media centers (unconfirmed) Have no own Kodi fork, but ZDMC may work (same chip) No color issues if using the 'DV10' enabled player Setup via external player works with official Kodi/Jellyfin (unconfirmed) Runs Android 9 not Android TV, so apps may differ, work unexpectedĭV works 'best' with the 'dolby VS10' enabled internal media player/HT 4.0Ĭheck there native media center HT 4.0 (full VS10 support)Ĭan use there kodi 19.4 fork (ZDMC), that uses the internal player (VS10 support) Not sure what mediacenter/player works, but found some DV discussion for this device Has a small color issue on those profiles (red boost, some banding) which is mostly unnoticeable on real content Outputs perfect streaming DV and TV will switch into DV modes Uses a special Kodi, Plex, Jellifin version with a DV enabled (Exoplayer) Here is a overview matrix of some DV enabled players and the issues for each DV profile! The hardware based alternatives (android/linux) PC version has only HDR10 support, only the Android/TV version has DV support This version did not work for me on intel igpu Need to send a googledrive request, got the invite after a day Try Kodi Matrix 19.4 HDR Edition or latest dev version Those outputs are similar/identical to what JMC 29 does with DV only files >mpv.com -vo=gpu-next -gpu-api=vulkan -target-colorspace-hint -gamma=5 > mpv.com -vo=gpu-next -target-prim=bt.2020 -target-trc=pq -gamma=5 UPDATE: using tone-mapping i can get very close to what my TV's native DV outputs look like, try those command-lines/configs with latest git and Win 10 HDR enabled: Still very fiddly to setup correctly compared to JRMC and colors often end up too under exposed or too bright/overexposed Need to have HDR on in Win10/11, mpv will not switch it on !!! DV playbackĪdd a small gamma offset, seems Win10 darken the image too much Image is often too muted/dark compared to org. Need to switch to JRVR via player/video settings and enable all relevant HDR options Use JRiver Media Center 29 and its new JRVR (renderer) with HDR-passthrough You need to use the store TV & Movies app and have HDR enabled Store app will convert DV to SDR correctly at least Yet did not work for me and DV only files played with no HDR at all Get lucky and get the DV store extension workingįor some wonky reason it did not open the app for me on 'launch', but revo uninstaller had a 'run' option in its menu, which actually started the app So if you care about HDR quality you should not play DV files via HTPC and instead just use good mastered HDR10 files.

Without those the tone-mapped PC results are often too dark or too overexposed, while i also see a loss in contrast and color accuracy. UPDATE2 + Conclusion After weeks of testing and comparing the HTPC (mpv, JRMC) vs TV's native apps, its clear to me that good mastered DV content needs to fully apply the extra DV data and dynamic scene metadata. There is no native DV passthrough yet, so your TV will not detect DV or switch into dedicated DV modes, but this might be possible in the future. So the special DV/HDR10+ dynamic scene by scene metadata will get lost/ignored*, but i'm not even sure those are used much outside of testfiles**?* They do this via tone-mapping on the PC and present a HDR10 output to your TV, which looks very close to what my TV's native dolby vision output looks like, after i did calibrate the gamma slightly in mpv/JRMC (gamma +3-10).

TLDR UPDATE Both latest git mpv and JRiver Media Center 29 with JRVR can 'correctly' display most dolby vision only files that have no HDR10/HLG fallback. Yet some of those options come kinda close and at least output a 'valid' HDR10 stream.

TLDR none of the windows 10/Linux options can play DV 100% correct, compared to using the TV's own media player via DLNA.

On my quest to get dolby vision working on windows 10 or at least get somewhat usable playback via my new HTPC, here are my current findings.
