Hi all, I have a Sony x900h TV and I have installed Matrix and Master but I always have a problem when Im playing some movie files with HEVC .265 , the image will have green lines and blurry , the only way that I can make it work is to disable the processing " allow hardware acceleration - MediaCodec Surface from the settings . Please let me know if there is a fix for this cause its happening on all Matrix or Master builds . Thanks
Its happening only with some files that have HEVC x265 - description from the file is ( HEVC h.265 web dl , dolby digital , 5.1 ) . Thank you
Neither @Maven nor anyone else here is developing the DV or audio/micro stutter code. Maven gives us builds combining the code from other kodi developers like @quietvoid or @fandangos.
At the point of developing the DV code focus was on devices like the Nvidia Shield 2019 Pro and some Amazon devices (I don’t know which exactly).
With a Sony device/tv we can’t help you here, at least in my opinion. There were some positive feedbacks in the kodi.tv forum for Philips and Sony TVs. Try to ask for help there.
Here is the mixed result for the profile 7 mkv enhancement, where I searched for the keyword „Sony“:
Keep in mind that this thread is for profile 7 mkv enhancements, which you get if you remux your 4K UHD disc and not for profile 5 mp4 web downloads. I don’t know if there is a thread for that kind of files. Maybe because of legal issues… I don’t want to know where you got these files from.
Did you try the demolandia demo files I linked above?
In early days of DV developement these files worked out of the box with an unmodified Kodi Matrix.
I tried both latest official Matrix and Nexus last night. Matrix didn't triggered DV at all (wrong colors). Nexus triggered DV with the same problems (lost frames + freezes).
Interesting! I can only say that it already worked with matrix. I can try to test the demolandia files this week again with my official Kodi (Nvidia Shield 2019 Pro, LG C9, Sonos Arc) and report back here.
DV is out of development scope at the moment. But there is/was some good activity in fixing Dolby Atmos audio drop outs and micro stutter issues:

Read the first post carefully. The thread is for discussion of the builds provided in that thread only, no DV enhancements for mkv capabilities integrated. But Kodi Matrix should support DV profile 5 mp4 already. Try your luck in that thread. Don’t forget to describe your setup and to post a [definition=12,0]debug[/definition].[definition='1','0']log[/definition].
