Latest Exoplayer?

Hi Chuck, the pdf you linked is for dolby vision.

however both your points seem to be referring to dolby atmos.

I know it is confusing, but atmos is AUDIO, dolby vision is video (basically dynamic frame by frame HDR metadata, versus HDR which is static HDR by the whole movie).

Yes. I have been appropriately spanked for confusing the two.

My humble apologies.

I need more :coffee: before reading the forums in the morning. :slight_smile:

The above post has been redacted to avoid future confusion.

That’s a shame. I hope you improve the custom player instead then.

I’m sure it’s not really the case as I have no insight the the internals of Plex, but customizing the player to the extent that you’ll have difficulty upgrading the base player doesn’t seem like a good idea from the outside.

I reported my findings with the latest exoplayer in the other thread: https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-support-profile-7-dolby-vision-dual-layer-dv-in-mp4s/532651/25

TL;DR - tried newest exoplayer with profile 7 patch but Shield still can’t play them as DV :frowning:

Hope this helps clears up any confusion.

Hi,
I enabled the new Exoplayer and now the movies are playing but I cannot see it on TV. Is there a way to disable Exoplayer and choose another player? (version 7.27.0.15018 and Server 1.16.5.1554)

Unfortunately no.

Maybe try updating PMS.

Hi,
I tried playing on my Roku and all is good. I guess the new Exoplayer does not play / support Android version 5.11. ??

Thx

I updated to version 1.18.5.2309.

What is 5.11? Do you mean 5.1.1 lollipop? I’m not aware of any specific issues, but yeah that is getting kind of old. What kind of device do you have? Is it a cheap Chinese knock off. These were not made very well back in the day. I would not be surprised if things don’t work well.

Any progress on this matter? I’m anxiously waiting because i have two Nvidia Shields ready to be updated and used as my daily drivers for tv watching. :grin::+1:
