Is XBOX Dolby Vision a system wide set and forget?

Or do you have additional app by app parms that you need to play with.

I'm assuming D.V. is the dynamic tone mapping option.

Not sure about XB, but on PS5 HDR is is a global setting. There are minor adjustments at the game level, but I have not seen any for any apps.

So I can feed a PJ with the XBOX doing the HDR to SDR dynamic tone mapping... So no Lumagen, HD Fury etc needed?

The XBOX Series X/S will output the Menu in SDR. You can set it to allow HDR10 for content that supports it. You can set SDR games for Auto HDR to convert them to HDR10 for output. You can set it to allow Dolby Vision for Videos and also for Games. Only those videos and games that support it will be output in Dolby Vision. Otherwise, they will be output in SDR. They will output in HDR10 if they support it or if Auto HDR is enabled. You can set the display to HGIG when outputting in HDR10 so only the XBOX handles the tone mapping or use the display's tone mapping feature on top of it. Tone mapping will not be selectable in the display when outputting in Dolby Vision.

Forgot, while the XBOX Series X supports Dolby Vision for streaming content and games, it does not support Dolby Vision for UHD disc playback. Stupid.

Dang. My XBOX has Dolby Vision button but it's grayed out.

My other option is a JRiver based HTPC running JRVR. Supposedly it will run on a Raspberry Pi4

Is the MadVR really $8,000?

Yep. I had an xbox one that would do HDR to SDR tone mapping, but it was crippled on the audio side. No HD codec support. It can upmix to Atmos, but not before downmixing everything to AAC stereo. No thanks. Similar situation to some of the Amazon Fire devices. I'm a Shield TV guy and haven't had any issues in a very long time.

Plex on the HTPC or Kodi would probably do what you want, but I thought Jriver would also?

JRiver with their JRVR uses the same Linux library as MadVR. It's the direction I'm looking at going. Plus they state it will work on a Raspberry Pi4.
