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 use jellyfin with the shield tv (tube version) w/ an lg g1 oled. No compatibility issues for all my high bitrate, dolby vision, dolby 7.1 files. However, performance of this old device is starting to get bad. Requires an occasional reset.
