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
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.

Has nothing to do with linux and everything to do with your boxes hardware
Unfortunately I don’t see any mention of Dolby Vision Profile 8 support. My KODI box has an intel GPU.
