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 suppor…

Please report to nvidia about any colour issues you will find. Issues like wrong saturation, red spots and blocks. And you definitely should find some in Doctor Sleep, The Matrix, MI6 https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/shield-tv/9/346685/wrong-colours-in-dolby-vision/

I got this to work tonight on Top Gun after I re-ripped it with the latest MakeMKV. It seemed to work eveytime on the shield when I played it… However… I had to reduce the output resolution of the Shield to 4K/23.976 fps to get Dolby Vision to trigger. I have Plex set to change output frame rates …

@fizban11 Per the third post in the thread, MakeMKV 1.15.1 was the first version to construct DV into MKV files (see the link to the MakeMKV forum for details) So anything you have ripped since April 15 with that version should be good to go. [image] [FEATURE REQUEST] Dolby Vision …

I believe it has changed since 1.15.1. With that version I think the developer of makemkv made the changes unilaterally (not waiting for the mkv standard to accept DV). After that the mkv standard itself was adjusted to accept DV officially but in a somewhat different way (I don’t know the details) …

No worries, 1.15.3 is the ideal version. In Mike’s latest forum post on 1.15.3 he goes into detail about it. The new version allows you rebuild missing DV metadata to the correct format in the MKV container. I think if you ripped a disc using 1.15.1 you will be fine, but if you want to make sure, y…

Thank you @Scott-M and @SkylerWolfe for the info. I wasn’t following the MakeMKV thread, just the changelog posted for each version of MakeMKV. Rebuilding the files will definitely save me some time and effort over re-ripping the discs. Christmas came early this year!

How long does it usually take from beta version to an “official” version?

We only support the official MKV spec, anything that doesn’t conform to that is not supported

Thanks for the clarification! Do you know if using 1.15.3 to re-process those older MKV’s will correct the MKV to spec, per the 1.15.3 forum post linked above?
