DV with Atmos garbled geen picture

Afternoon guys,

I realise that there are a few threads about issues with DV, however I thought I’d post this one as well - it’s new for me, and the first time I’ve seen it…

With HDR Processing set to “Auto” I get green static-looking noise as a picture, but I do get sound. The TV displays an icon saying “Dolby Vision - Dolby Atmos via Sound bar”.

With HDR Processing set to “Force HDR (no DV)” I get an HDR picture and Atmos sound. The TV displays an icon saying “HDR - Dolby Atmos via Sound bar”.

I have updated to the latest staging repository and checked for updates just before playing the file.
I enabled debug logging and rebooted twice, then navigated to the problematic movie and pressed play. It ran for a few seconds and then I grabbed the logs: https://paste.osmc.tv/otobenenov.

I have an LG OLED65C46LA and a Sonos Beam (Gen 2) connected to the eARC HDMI port.
TV is set to bitstream and passthrough audio.

Link to a 60 second snippet of the file: OneDrive

I have another copy of this movie that plays fine, albeit in HDR only ,and the sound is DDP 7.1 (as expected), with no change to settings but HDR Processing set back to “Auto”.
Odd that it doesn’t play as DV…

MediaInfo for the other supposedly DV version of the file:

Hoepfull there is enough info here for you gyuys to work some magic.
Thanks!

First question: does it work if you disconnect the sound bar?

Initially I got the same result, but after removing the sound bar from the HDMI eARC port and leaving it all for a minute, I tried again.
The file played fine and the TV displayed the “Dolby Vision - Dolby Atmos via Sound bar” icon.
While it was playing I then plugged the sound bar back in - once the TV relaised it was connected the sound switched to the sound bar and the picture went blank.
I then trieds to play the file again and it all worked as expected - DV and Atmos via the sound bar.
I tried a few other files, including the one that only played as HDR and all are now working and displaying as DV.
Obviosly there’s something strange going on between the LG and the Sonos (it has two Play:1s connected as surrounds).
Anyway messing with the HDMI connections seems to make everything work ok.
As a test, I treid the same file and a few others this morning - all working fine.
Thanks grahamh!

Thanks for the report. Plugging the soundbar in while playing would cause a HDMI reset and I doubt Vero can handle that on the fly. So not surprising the picture was lost.

I hope it stays working. If not, send us a log.
