First of all (especially to the mods): please read this topic carefully befor closing it (as a similiar topic was closed by one mod without any reasonable reason). Thank you :slight_smile: Second, for a better understanding, in the following, I will use terms like ‘single-’ vs. ‘dual-layer’ Dolby V…

[image] ChuckPa: If there is additional licensing requirement for right-to-use the decoder, what should Plex do? Following your thoughts about additional licensing, may I also ask you something before? Plex is currently supporting single-layer DV content. Did Plex pay for offering it in the …

just one reason is enough, and that reason is that Dolby Vision feature on Plex is completely useless if it supports only single-layer (profile 5), since there is no source material in that format.

A lot of what Plex uses (the transcoder) comes from upstream Licensing costs money and, forgive me please, – free users are in no position to try and influence product offerings. If Plex gave it all away for free, Plex wouldn’t be in business very long would it? Let’s allow this feature reques…

[image] ChuckPa: If you’ll forgive me, I’ll venture back to my side of the forum – supporting Linux & NAS boxes Sure! Thank you for paying your attention toward this request.

I also found a request in the Nvidia forum and left the latest information there. Maybe we should push the topic at Nvida too. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/shield-tv/9/331104/dual-layer-dolby-vision-support/

I have talked too nvidia so many times at this point,they always give me a standard email reply because the chat barely knows anything about this,from what i’m thinking is that the nvidia shield TV pro is based of the chromecast ultra,and has the same issue as that one,too only play Single layer, o…

even before exoplayer, what this is going to come down to is whether or not shield is a dolby certified device for dvhe.07.06 (ie 4k uhd bluray with dolby vision) most likely, the only people who can answer that are the shield engineers/product development team. if it is, then it should be a fairl…

[image] TeknoJunky: if the shield is NOT certified for dvhe.07.06, then it becomes a lot less likely that it even includes the proper hardware/API for a software player to even make use of. I wish I’ve studied informatics instead of psychology :rofl: maybe there is a way to reverse engineer …
