Hi, Nice to see Dolby Vision support coming to iOS. After experimenting with a few of my titles, both in MKV containers and mp4 containers, I’m not seeing Dolby Vision kick in on the iPhone XS. My MKV contained files fall back to HDR10 and the MP4 files simply display an overly green cast on the v…

I believe they are talking about videos taken with the iPhone 12 itself. iOS hardware is only compatible with the streaming version of Dolby vision, profile 5 I believe, so it wouldn’t be able to read profile 7 which is used on Blu-ray Discs.

Interesting. I did some more testing a short while ago, and it does look like it is able to playback Dolby Vision in a .ts container. I tested the LG Dolby Vision test file: https://4kmedia.org/lg-dolby-vision-uhd-4k-demo/

Thanks @Xhaka . That may have been the issue with the MKV file. I figured that since it was direct streaming the video layer the DV metadata would transfer as well. No dice on mp4 files though.

Yeah I only collect mkv nowadays although the .ts files I already had seem to trigger just fine. The MP4’s that I originally had for use with the native LG app are long gone from my collection so cant test. I just find it a little bizarre that I cant find any release notes for the feature here on t…

Same. I wish either the dashboard or Tautulli could report whether or not the DV metadata was being sent. They only show a generic 4K HDR tag when I look.

Yeah agreed. A separate Dolby Vision tag in filters for these files would be great too.

Holy cow just tested and you are right. Disabling the lossless track will trigger DV on the AppleTV 4k. I just wish the player was better on tvOS. Infuse can direct play lossless audio and less micro stuttering throughout the video. If you want to test try the remux of Gemini Man. Plex has never bee…

Wait…What?! I finally see the DV logo on some of my ripped movies and your saying it not real? :cry: Can you explain what you mean by “…It simply turns on Dolby Vision mode on the device”?
