Best setup for Jellyfin + Dolby Vision TV? (programming.dev)

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 don't think that's the case. Whatever device is running the jellyfin client needs to support DV. So in my case, a Linux box running KODI cannot decode DV (because Linux has no DV support AFAIK), even though it's connected to a TV that supports DV.
