EDIT: It seems it’s as sjpotter said. It’s the Shield’s. I tested Our Planet on Netflix with my TV and the Shield, and I can see the same issues aforementioned. TV playback is brighter and better than the Shield’s. Could it be that my Shield is faulty?

I believe this is a bug in the Dolby Vision decoder that is on the SHIELD.

So do we know what exactly is the deal with why DV finally works if you just keep stopping and starting the movie again? Some movies are more stubborn than others, but I assume this is a solvable issue in the Plex software otherwise why would it work at all?

As far as I know, there has been no new beta update for attempting a fix, yet DV support was added to the latest general release.

From our investigations into this it appears to be a bug in the Dolby Vision decoder, we are still actively looking into it and are investigating with NVIDIA. When Dolby Vision isn’t triggered the Dolby Vision decoder has crashed, when this happens we fallback to direct streaming which only supports HDR10.
