SOLVED: Video cropped at the top and bottom on Google TV Jellyfin player

[theguymadmax]

This happens when the file has been encoded with bad DV RPU cropping values. You can either:

1. Remove DV Metadata: Follow the steps in this forum thread to strip out the Dolby Vision metadata.

Code:

/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -stats -fflags +genpts+igndts -loglevel error -i "/path/to/dvhdr10+_video.mkv" -map 0 -bsf:v hevc_metadata=remove_dovi=1 -codec copy -max_muxing_queue_size 2048 -max_interleave_delta 0 -avoid_negative_ts disabled hdr10_video.mkv

2. Follow this post on using Dovi Tool to fix the cropping values.
