This might not be entirely on topic, but I think someone here will know the answer.

Does anyone have a working setup for streaming from jellyfin to an OLED TV (preferably LG) that supports Dolby Vision? AFAICT every device in the chain (except the server) needs to be DV-licensed.

Apparently KODI on a linux box (my current setup) cannot output DV content over HDMI.

I'm wondering if LG's native OS has a Jellyfin client that supports DV well. It's either that or:

  • Apple TV + infuse client (expensive)
  • Google TV Streamer

I agree Apple TV with Infuse is a bit expensive, but it’s worth it for the seamless experience imo. The quality of the Apple TV hardware means you’ll never have to deal with transcoding, and the local caching is spectacular. If the Infuse subscription is what’s stopping you, there are other cheaper and free apps for the Apple TV that support DV via Jellyfin (Swiftfin and MrMC are pretty solid) but the Infuse interface is hard to beat.

I have an LG OLED CX, and the native Jellyfin client supports DV without any issues. The only downside is that the TV itself has to be connected to the network, which LG is actively working on making less desirable

I have a router with OpenWRT, which has great firewall capabilities that I use to block specific devices from having internet access while allowing them to connect to my local network. Useful solution for any device you want connecting to local services, but you don’t trust not to phone home.

If you don't want to get a new device, you can try Android TV on x86 with the official Jellyfin app. I have no idea if it'll work, but it's worth a shot. https://github.com/LineageOS-TV-x86

Jellyfin on an Android TV does DV just fine here, so any android box that supports DV should work I guess.

CoreELEC can do it on Dolby Vision certified devices if you're looking for a open source solution.

Does anyone have a working setup

Any Jellyfin setup would do, as long as whatever you're watching it on supports DV.

I don't think that's the case. Whatever device is running the jellyfin client needs to support DV. So in my case, a Linux box running KODI cannot decode DV (because Linux has no DV support AFAIK), even though it's connected to a TV that supports DV.

Unfortunately I don't see any mention of Dolby Vision Profile 8 support. My KODI box has an intel GPU.

I don’t know about Jellyfin, but Stremio supports Dolby Vision (iirc). I assume you have a debrid service, with Stremio it’s basically plug and play

edit: Stremio should be inside LG’s OS

Stremio at least has a Jellyfin plugin. Thanks I will add that to the list of options.

Another reason I can't justify leaving Plex 😭

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jellyfin supports DV as well, so it isn't a reason after all.

[–] mrnobody@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

Thanks. It's configured alongside my plex instance, I just haven't really used it much yet.
