Hi, UDP-203 is playing DV from MKV?
No, and I doubt it ever will.
Get raw hevc from mkv put it in ts container and it should plays on Oppo.
Hi, I already knew this to be true, I also know if you take the hevc from a mkv created with Makemkv 1.5.3 and mixing it back to M2TS will probably not trigger DV on Oppo either as it is not expecting. el and rpu to be ina single stream, and this is where the problems lie, what we are doing is outside of profile 7 spec, is the firestick playing back true DV or is it outputting HDR10 in LLDV?
For me, I can play 50Mbps 4K HDR / Dolby Vision files with TrueHD audio without issues on the SHIELD Tube now, when the Tube was first released this was not the case. Each release improves the performance, it should work with anything you can throw at it now. 
If it doesnāt, any samples you can provide would be a huge help!

Could you share a sample with me?
Eek, have you tried John Wick 2 & 3,
They are mega bit rate titles.
Sure - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JsFd_KKU0k5Emgl74PnrwmUfqdFDP9JJ/view
Btw. Iāve tried to play this sample on Sony XF90 via PLEX (8.8.0.21200) - results are vary:
First run - DV monochrome
Second run - DV wrong, extremly oversaturated colors
Next Iāve tried internal Sony video player - HGL HDR, normal colors

I think fall back to HGL HDR is better solution until (if) Sony improve compatibility
Shield plays it in DV with correct colors
I didnāt know the Shield Tube has problems playing 4k high bitrate / lossless audio on Plex. Good thing I bought the Pro. I take it the Pro can handle anything you throw at it? At least in my exp I have yet to experience stuttering. Is 1GB more RAM really that big of a difference for the Pro?
Tube is 32-bit versus Proās 64-bit OS, and from what Iāve read that makes all the difference.

Iāve remembered that it is the AI functionality that is impacted by the Tube being 32bit.

32 bit isnāt really the issue, the tube has less ram to run the os+plex.
Sorry for sending this thread off topic, 100% my fault. Sixones, perhaps we can get your participation in one of the many threads on this Nvidia tube 4k playback issue? 50Mbit isnāt that high of bit rate. Some of the discs I have hit >100 and still are a big problem on the tube (jurassic parks, bad boys, etc). Also while I have your attention since youāre the main manā¦ Maybe you can poke someone internally on plex borking up the high res audio playback for the last year as wellā¦ Two issues near and dear to my heart, right up there with official dolby vision support 
32-bit vs 64-bit is not a difference? Thatās news to me, learn something new every day. I must have also missed the whole part of Kodi in this thread and last I checked this is a PleX forum.
In this case no. Plex is built for both assuming you install the correct one. There are still older Android boxes and phones still running ArmV7 which is 32-bit. These devices have no issues running the app. Codec support is a different story since some of these devices donāt report what they support correctly.
Not sure if this is relevant, but I got the new Chromecast with Android(cough Google)TV, sideloaded 32bit 8.1 plex app, and well it just does not work at all.
Low/Mid 50Mbps 4k mkvs buffer for ever before starting, once they start they just stutter and buffer to no end. Furthermore, none of my freshly made MakeMKV 1.15.3 DV movies trigger DV at all, they dont even trigger HDR10 (?). Not sure if I misreached for the stars on this one because my TCL Roku DV Feature request stands at 2 votesā¦ and this Chromecast is SLOW, and the UI is pretty but its a mess. Just wanted to get my DV mkvās a chance on PLEXā¦looks like it may be 2021 before this gets sorted out.
I also have the Chromecast With ā¦
Yes itās slow, it doesnāt support resolution switching, It is really fussy mounting external storage no chance of pass through audio either I really might sell it, it canāt even run Hyperspin, it is rubbish.
The new Chromecast Google TV device does not support Dolby Vision. The only Android TV devices with support for Dolby Vision at the moment is the Fire TV 4K and the SHIELD (2019), both need to be connected to a Dolby Vision compatible TV and AVR / soundbar.

I think you mean that Plex does not support Dolby Vision on the Chromecast with Google TV.
Every review Iāve read says Dolby Vision is supported by the Chromecast with Google TV.
That is news to me, but I have been going off the specification rather than the device itself. If you have a Dolby Vision compatible display, could you play some Dolby Vision content and grab me the logs? If the device has the Dolby Vision decoder we will use it over the normal HEVC decoder, if it doesnāt have that decoder exposed then we have no way to play Dolby Vision.
Iāve been unable to get most of the makemkv sample files, or my own remuxes, to work with Plex on the Fire 4k w/ LG CX, especially if they are 24fps. Regardless of whether I enable/disable refresh rate or resolution switching, I get audio working but no display (black screen).
Is the expectation that this should be working, or are we waiting for updates? Would it be helpful to provide logs? If this is being worked on, I can wait, but if itās hopeless, I suppose I would just buy a shield ā¦
Thanks!!
