This might not be entirely on topic, but I think someone here will know the answer.

Does anyone have a working setup for streaming from jellyfin to an OLED TV (preferably LG) that supports Dolby Vision? AFAICT every device in the chain (except the server) needs to be DV-licensed.

Apparently KODI on a linux box (my current setup) cannot output DV content over HDMI.

I'm wondering if LG's native OS has a Jellyfin client that supports DV well. It's either that or:

Apple TV + infuse client (expensive)
Google TV Streamer

I have an LG OLED CX, and the native Jellyfin client supports DV without any issues. The only downside is that the TV itself has to be connected to the network, which LG is actively working on making less desirable

I have a router with OpenWRT, which has great firewall capabilities that I use to block specific devices from having internet access while allowing them to connect to my local network. Useful solution for any device you want connecting to local services, but you don’t trust not to phone home.
