Hi, Currently, Plex on Nvidia Shield 2019 is able to play single layer Dolby Vision on .mp4 and .ts files. Recently, a method has been discovered which allows to get that into a MKV container as well with the codec MpegH HEVC Main10@L5.1 (dvhe.07.06 BL+EL+RPU FEL). Is there any chance to add support to ExoPlayer so it can handle dolby vision enabled MKVs as it does with .mp4 and .ts on licensed hardware like Shield 2019? Regards. ---

100% agreed. Please add support for these new Dolby Vision based MKV’s. ---

I am also interested. MakeMKV has already implemented it in version 1.15.1: [https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=21937](https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=21937) And MKVToolNix will implement it in the next version: > **[Feature Request: Support for Dolby Vision codecs (dvh\*) (#2784) · Issues ·...](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/-/issues/2784#note_335568674785a60fd09cfbbf3b873780a63a1513)** > > \### Request MP4 with video track(s) using Dolby Vision codecs is currently \*mux-able\* in \`mkvmerge\` but the result Matroska file is unplayable (weird resolution with static colors). \`mkvmerge\` recognizes these...

Exactly. Btw, there is another thing to fix, PGS on .ts files with Dolby Vision, it’s currently failing and probably will happen the same with MKV if support is added. ---

I can see my request was a duplicate of this! So i deleted and added my vote! Would give so much more power in playback while also being able to support something other platforms arent able to (atleast initially) Getting Dolby Vision to play in the most common file format used would be as perfect as it could get ---

Exoplayer has taken in the request - hopefully if and when they get it implemented, Plex will merge it into their custom version of Exoplayer ---

The sad part is that the creator of MakeMKV says it is a one hour task to get it implemented. This means that Plex could implement it easily themselves in their custom version of exoplayer, without having to spend a lot of time on it! ---

I don’t know if that’s necessarily _sad_ - I’d say it’s good news if anything! Hopefully the Plex devs will step up and make this happen. That said, we need this to happen on Plex via Apple TV 4K as well. ---

Plex history shows that they will rarely touch the voted features anyway. So thats the sad part - a quick addition which will never happen ---

I think it doesn’t depend of them, since they are relying on ExoPlayer on Android, the moment ExoPlayer suppor it Plex will do too. ExoPlayer has accepted the feature request with low priority. Anyway, we need first official support on MKV I mean that MKV correctly identify that it contains a video stream with DV and they are also discussing about that in other opened issue on matroska’s Github.
