kodi dolby vision playback issue on google tv
#1
I just downloaded and installed kodi omega beta2 on a Hisense U8K tv. It's a google tv. When I play a dolby vision video with 2.4:1 ratio there're two grey bars overlapped in the picture. But 16:9 videos no problems. This is annoying. I've attached two screen shots showing this issue, one is 2.4:1 with grey bars and the other 16:9 without grey bars. Please help me solve this problem. Thank you.

Looks like a Dolby Vision metadata issue from improperly encoded files.
Are the videos 1080p?

It was cropped but the metadata not adjusted, so this is a file issue and not a Kodi problem.

why did you give it such a strange height cropping?

Width                          : 3 840 pixels
Height                         : 1 608 pixels

3840/1608 = 2.388059701492537 != 2.40

try a straight copy from your disc with "normal" width and height values, weird crops always give weird behavior
