TL DR: is it placebo/my eyes, or is Dolby Vision working on Plex on second gen Apple TV 4K now? Or is it still not proper Dolby Vision, just different somehow? What actually changed in the past year? Yet here I am watching two Dolby Vision movies with what looks like clear signs of running Dolby Vision, *not* SDR or HDR10 (peak brightness far too high in many scenes to be just SDR, yet not overly bright throughout like HDR10, which doesn't adapt the metadata to your display's peak brightness like Dolby Vision, to a dim-ish display like my C1). The software problem was that Plex wouldn't fall back to HDR10, leaving you stuck with "fake Dolby Vision". I've read Reddit posts saying there was a Plex update about how the Plex app and TVs interact for HDR info, but at least in my mind, it doesn't add up, because I thought the problem was hardware: the second gen Apple TV 4K didn't support the profile Blu-rays used for Dolby Vision. Specifically, the sand didn't show the artifacty red tint that I very clearly remembered from the "fake Dolby Vision" last year. ![]() I then decided to rewatch the exact same Dune remux from a year ago, and this time there was no colour shifting or inaccuracies. ![]() To my surprise, it played just fine in Plex on the Apple TV, with no colour shifting or inaccuracies. ![]() Playing the same file on Infuse allowed fallback to HDR10, which was what everyone recommended, since Plex didn't fall back to HDR10.įast forward to today, where I bought my second Dolby Vision capable 4K Blu-Ray, Interstellar. I experienced first hand, about a year ago, the famous "fake Dolby Vision" scenario on Plex on a 2nd Gen Apple TV 4K with my LG C1.īack then, I played a remux of my Dune 4K Blu-Ray, and encountered the expected colour shifting and inaccuracy.
