I’m testing Jellyfin as replacement to my Plex setup.
I noticed that DV titles shared from Jellyfin don’t show DV “badge” in video details in Infuse. They just display generic “HDR”. Same titles show DV badge when shared by Plesx.
Media info from Jellyfin seems to identify these as DOVI:

Having an issue where infuse isn’t recognizing files as DV from an emby server. The same exact files hosted on a Plex server are recognized as DV without issue. As soon as they are hosted with Emby they show as HDR10. The .mp4 files in the emby server are showing as DV but not the .mkv files.
What Dolby Vision profile are they? I’m guessing that they’re profile 7 or Profile 8, as Profile 5 doesn’t have HDR fallback.
If they aren’t Profile 5, then Plex is doing “Fake DV.”
Do a search on the Plex forum.
But basically all Plex is doing is playing the HDR metadata whilst forcing the TV into Dolby Vision mode. Plex offer no option to turn it off.
The bottom line is Emby is playing the files correctly.
With regards to the mp4 files they are probably (but not definitely) Profile 5, so only have Dolby Vision metadata so will play fine in Plex and Emby.
I didn’t think Plex or emby had anything to do with playing the files when using infuse as the player. From what I understand infuse is still playing the DV file fine it’s just a naming issue.
Sorry my misunderstanding.
I wrongly thought you were referring to if you played them within Plex or Emby themselves.
I haven’t used Emby with infuse so can’t really help.
Emby Server 4.8 is now available and Emby can now correctly identify all files that are Dolby Vision. But using Infuse with the Emby, the HDR tag appears and not DV, even though the file is DV.
It’s Dolby Vision P5. I know because the file plays with green and pink colors in IINA. And it shows DV with SMB. And it plays in DV.
And it’s not just this file that shows HDR even thought it’s DV with Emby. It’s every DV mkv file.
This was a know issue with Emby. But according to @james it was Emby’s fault because Emby did not recognize DV files and Infuse fetches the info from Emby. But now, since the 4.8 update, Emby recognizes the files as DV and shows the DV tag but Infuse still shows only HDR.
I wonder if you maybe need to do an Edit Metadata on one of those and reselect the correct movie to get it to change since Infuse usually doesn’t scan files for changes unless told to do so.
Edit to add:
I had missed this thread that James has moved your post to. Sorry about that. Seems that it’s tagged as researching so it’s being worked on.
I saw a similar issue on the forum and upgraded my Emby version to the latest version, but I still have the same problem
When connecting via WebDAV, I can see DV in the library fine, is there any way to work around it?
