Dolby Vision MKV + Android TV - remux not working

[theguymadmax]

FLAC 7.1 doesn't work for me on the Android TV client, but that’s a separate from the DV issue. For that, you can go to Preferences > Developer Options, then enable "Prefer FFmpeg for audio playback." I’d only recommend using this setting for compatibility issues, like with FLAC 7.1 audio.

Amazing, that fixed playback for the 1080p file, thank you

Is there any way to force transcoding that doesn't meaningfully reduce video or audio quality?

There is pretty much no discernible drop in quality for AUDIO, regardless. How much quality you lose with video transcoding depends on your hardware.

Recent-ish Intel and Nvidia GPUs will both transcode with little or no noticeable drop in quality.
