YesI would like Dolby Vision working on Windows.

@agokhale please look into this as I have contacted Dolby to push this too. Switching to Dolby Vision works, its the exiting back to standard SDR Windows that does not.

Regards


As discussed with the HDR experts from our development team, the NvAPI_Disp_HdrColorControl() only supports the legacy Dolby Vision (DV) spec. Dolby has moved to a new DV scheme which does not necessarily need NVIDIA Graphics Driver involvement. The new TVs are not likely going to support old DV. We request you to kindly check about the new DV spec, which is the best way to go forward if you are writing a new game/app. Since you are already trying with the NvAPI, to disable the DV HDR mode, you may want to try a workaround by sending couple of extra NV_HDR_MODE_OFF calls.


Actually if you are talking about Standard vs Low latency dolby vision Sony TV added support for Standard too. Or are you talking about new 120 fps DoVi mode since LG CX? Anyway, you cannot remove this API, since it breaks Need For speed HEAT, unless you remove DoVi block from EDID.


Guys and girls. I noticed netflix didn't work with dolby vision. Dolby vision was working with cable unplugged(battery mode) but then windows hdr was switched off. So I tried windows hdr off then watch dolby vision in netflix and voila I could watch dolby vision content plugged. I tried kodi and the colors in movies were popping. Tried a video game and hdr was working. Made a profile to use multi zone in games. After playing windows hdr was on again. So I think... Windows is messing up our dolby. Screen. The laptop is programmed for. Dolby without using hdr in windows.. If you use windows hdr move the hdr bar in the hdr settings all. The way to the left as we don't need correction on these mini led screens. Let me know your experience. BTW this is not driver dependent. Windows needs to upgrade their hdr software. One note as far as I can see the mini led is 10 bit dolby vision coded not 12 bit like oled.


Hello, why can i utilize dolby vision only on few little notebook like lenovo's? It's no sense that you can play in dolby vision on the xbox and no on windows with a 3090ti...

You should really enable dolby vision to everyone.


According to the reddit post below this should be possible using the latest MPV and GPU Next (It's not actually using Dolby Vision but strips out the per scene meta data and solves the purple tint issue). Id very much like to use this as my Tablet and TV both support DV but my PC does not. This way my plex server only needs one copy of any HDR media.

Unfortunately I'm pretty new to all of this, has anyone tried it with success at the same time as SVP?


It must work. In PotPlayer, leave the video viewer on automatic. Because if you set it to Direct3D11 manually, the image turns purple. Automatically set it to Direct3D9 and you can enjoy the Dolbi Vision effect on your PC. Miles different than a normal bluray movie. More vivid and clear, more realistic. This little add-on I linked to allows it to work in the built-in media player, MPV and PotPlayer under windows 11. You can also install Dolby Vision sound, but it's paid for in the Windows store, so I'm not linking to it, not advertising it, just that you can set up PotPlayer to get the DV sound effect you want. Working in conjunction with SVP, PotPlayer can provide the frame rate to match your monitor, and if you're using an HDR monitor, 10-bit colour depth. (I'm not a professional user and I'm not a tester, I'm just an average IT guy who likes to watch movies with his family in the best picture quality in the evening.)


Hi, great news it works great with MPV

I have a couple of questions though :

1/ Is this real dolby vision decoding and converted on the fly to standard hdr with preserved dynamic metadata ? because the previous solution with madvr wasn't able to decode dolby vision, it was "just" an hdr optimization with frame by frame analysis and static hdr metadata. Also full dolby vision support requires an additional hevc decoder to decode the FEL layer (full enhancement layer) but very few movies carry it.

2/ Is MPC-HC compatible with this solution ? I have read that it requires to use the new libplacebo from ffmpeg


EDIT : I don't understand the use of it. From the reddit post "So the special DV/HDR10+ dynamic scene by scene metadata will get lost/ignored, but i'm not even sure those are used much outside of testfiles?". It is just a fallback solution to avoid purple colors with tone mapping on dolby vision video files that don't carry a HDR10 fallback stream, but the guy from the post may have misunderstood


This problem is not related to the monitor : you didn't get the right version of MPV or didn't configure it correctly

On my side MPC-HC, MPC-BE and VLC render a purplish picture in dolby vision videos that don't have a HDR10/HLG fallback stream.

MPV works though, wether I use a dolby vision display or not (but HDR compatible in both cases).
