[TESTING] Vero V: Dolby Vision TV led support

Amazing work! I upgraded to the Vero V last month just because of this thread :smiley:

I am noticing something slightly weird though, I’m surprised I’m the only one so far. I’ve only tried DVP 5 and DVP 8.1 but see the same issue on both: the colors are a bit more saturated (pop more) and/or the peak brightness is noticably higher when compared to the TV’s integrated Kodi or the TV’s internal player.

  • Vero V with kernel 4.9.269-76 (installed yesterday)
  • LG OLED G3 with brew Kodi v21.2 installed (its picture looks the exact same when played off USB with the internal player)
  • LG OLED C2 with bew Kodi v22.0 installed and with the internal player (USB)
  • same exact picture settings for the HDMI input of the Vero and the internal apps/players, all ā€œautoā€ settings turned off (e.g. ā€œauto brightnessā€ or ā€œAI brightnessā€).
     
  • when played directly on the LG’s internal player, the DoVi video looks very similar to the HDR10 variant
  • but on Vero V, both DVP 5 and DVP 8.1 look oversaturated/overbrightened
  • the HDR10 variant looks fine on the Vero V
  • the same DVP 5 video but with HDR Processing: Force HDR (no DV) also looks fine

 
I have a 90 MB sized test clip (DVP 5) which I uploaded here. You can see the entire picture is brighter, sun rays peak noticably more, and the red hair and jacket also pop a bit more.
