The Shield 2015/2017/2019 will playback the HDR10 60fps movie just fine over gigabit Ethernet. I believe that I just confirmed that it has to be the LG Alpha 9 SoC not being able to playback HFR 60fps HDR10/Dolby Vision correctly. For some reason they choose to do a Full Enhancement Lay(FEL) on Gemini Man which I remember reading somewhere that is not recommended by Dolby at all because of the power needed to play it back. The stream size on The Shining is actually larger then Gemini Man so it appears that the wireless isn't the bottleneck at all. The Shining (74.3 Mb/s) has a similar bitrate to Gemini Man (81.0 Mb/s) instead of 59.940fps its 23.976fps and it plays just fine over wireless ac. ![]() What is sad is that the 2019 Shield has the raw power to playback all the DV DL movies and even Gemini Man Dolby Vision DL at 60fps. Nvidia must have opted for the single layer only licence which frankly sucks as you can't playback the mp4 DV DL movies on the 2019 Shield as it will play as HDR10 only. Yes that is correct its a licencing issue as LG opted for the Dolby Vision Dual Layer licence which Plex and Xplay both use the included media player that is built into LG's tvs iirc. If you wish for more info about my files i got a ton more Dolby Vision movies on my pc What i don't seem too understand is why Plex allows me to play Dolby Vision movies via the plex app on the LG store but not via the plex app on my shield pro 2019. Shout out to anyone with a Philips 804 for a backup of their native video player app. ![]() I've found that single layer DV plays okay in Sony Android TVs but as the article suggests they will not play dual layer remuxes. This is surprising that nobody tried to backup this android application, to try it on another android device Philips 804 is an android tv with a built-in Video player that can handle dual layer dv. Why Sony chose this approach is still unknown but it could be because they wanted to make their Dolby Vision update as lean and easy to implement as possible. Thus the need for complementary updates from streaming device makers. ![]() Wrote:Sony implemented a modification to Dolby Vision support by which most of the processing for playback of content with this kind of high dynamic range formatting is offloaded to the device from which it came from instead of being done inside the TV itself.
