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 agree Apple TV with Infuse is a bit expensive, but it’s worth it for the seamless experience imo. The quality of the Apple TV hardware means you’ll never have to deal with transcoding, and the local caching is spectacular. If the Infuse subscription is what’s stopping you, there are other cheaper and free apps for the Apple TV that support DV via Jellyfin (Swiftfin and MrMC are pretty solid) but the Infuse interface is hard to beat.
