Plex displays wrong colours with Dolby Vision on AppleTV 4k

[Volts]

This DV5 file, which previously wouldn’t play before the latest beta updates, seems to be playing fine. Direct Streaming though. However it looks to be displaying in HDR10 (which is indicated in the top left corner of the screen with Playback HUD enabled - as pictured above, and the HDR logo was displayed in the top right corner instead of Dolby Vision). How is this possible? Isn’t DV5 a Dolby Vison only profile? The aim is to display Dolby Vision content in Dolby Vision… not HDR10. Also, in my testing not all DV5 MKV files will play, and… DV5 MP4 files won’t play at all.

I agree with you. I created a similar MKV file, and have similar results.

With current PMS and the latest Plex testflight tvOS app:

1. MKV file with HEVC DV P5 now plays!
   Direct Stream.
   The TV switches out of DV mode into HDR mode.
   The Apple TV has excellent tone-mapping, and color looks good.
   Dynamic brightness is NOT working.
2. MP4 file with HEVC DV P5, stored as dvhe, still doesn’t work.
3. MP4 file with HEVC DV P5, stored as Apple-preferred dvh1, Direct Plays perfectly.
   TV remains in (or switches to) DV mode.
   Dynamic brightness/metadata ARE working correctly.
