I have a media file using Dolby Vision profile 8.1. The file plays fine on my AppleTV 4K (3rd gen, tvOS 18.1) using Infuse 8.0.3 but on a M4 iPad Pro (ipadOS 18.1.1) running Infuse 8.0.3, there’s no video. Seemed to be different than other issues I found here from searching, hence the new post.

Turning off “Dolby Vision” in the Infuse player settings (Advanced Options) allows the video to appear.
