Chromecast 4k and HDR 10+ support

Hello,
I’ve notice a small issue with the Google Chromecast 4k with HDR 10+ support.
My Samsung TV supports only HDR 10 and HDR 10+ format. There is no Dolby Vision support.
If I play a 4K HDR file which contains only HDR 10+ metadata, the Chromecast will be able to play the file with HDR 10+ metadata.
But if the file contains Dolby Vision and HDR 10+ metadata, the chromecast will display only HDR 10 on the TV (instead of HDR 10+).
For information if i use the native PLEX APP directly on my TV, i don’t have this issue. The APP is able to select the HDR 10+ metadata. But i prefer to use the Chromecast APP because Samsung’s PLEX APP doesn’t have DTS support (Samsung TV doesn’t support DTS).
Is it possible to fix this issue on the Chromecast ?

You could try this build to see if it solves the problem; https://artifacts.plex.tv/android-experimental/9.28.0.2935-9b05f13/PlexForAndroid-9.28.0.2935-9b05f13-armeabi-v7aGooglePlayRelease.apk

This version fix the issue, thank you.
I’m now able to play HDR 10+ with files which have HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision embedded.
Will this version be released soon on the Google PlayStore?
