Hi, Currently, Plex on Nvidia Shield 2019 is able to play single layer Dolby Vision on .mp4 and .ts files.

@Cannikin - thanks for clarifying! This is exactly the information I was looking for. Cheers!

@anon18523487 - this thread was originally started specifically for Nvidia Shield 2019, not just Android TV. It also morphed into general Plex support for Dolby Vision in MKV (which is all platforms really).
