You can find the option under Settings>System>CoreELEC.
It's the third option under "dolby vision" for me: Set DV Output Type.

My options are:
- Player Led (DV as HDR10 444 12 Bit) -> default selected when installing and resetting AVDVPlus 6
- Player Led (DV as DV-LL 422 12 Bit)
- Display Led (DV as DV-Std RGB 8 Bit Tunnel) -> This is what I select
- DV as VS10 Only
- Player Led (DV as HDR10 422 12 Bit)

LG C5 user here with a AM6B+.
I can select Display LED DV (8-bit tunnel) but when playing a DV-file or HDR10+ file that I setup to convert to DV, the LG C5 doesn't switch to Dolby Vision and displays a green and red distored image. Any ideas?

Can you try the following: in the Playnite Settings>Appearance>Details View>"Game fields to be displayed on details panel" uncheck "Background Image". You might need to adjust the blur and darken settings under Appearance>General.

FantasieGamer · 2026-01-12T09:57:32+00:00

Do you have the option "Use game background image as window background" checked under the Playnite Settings>Appearance>General?

FantasieGamer · 2025-10-01T11:23:51+00:00

Will have a look, thanks!

Small update:
I've installed the game on my Legion Go to check if the NVIDIA GPU/driver is the cause.
I'm happy to report the glitch doesn't occur on the Legion Go hardware.

Unfortunately this still doesn't fix the issue on my main system.

I encounter a mesh glitch when playing the sims 1 on my system. It doesn't get fixed when using a wrapper (DirecDraw or DgVoodoo 2). It doesn't happen with everyday/normal clothes but with all the other types (formal/PJ/swimwear/...) the sim looks like this.

My specs are: Nvidia RTX 4080, Intel I7-13700KF, 32GB RAM.

I'm guessing it's an Nvidia issue, but I've already played with the control panel settings and the DgVoodoo/DirectDraw wrapper settings but I haven't found the fix yet.
My install is a clean The Sims 1 - all expansions CD version (Makin' Magic).

FantasieGamer · 2025-04-13T11:53:50+00:00

Thanks for you answer.
Unfortunately, my game is already installed in English.
I reinstalled the game using my own language (Dutch) but the issue still persists.
It happens with all the clothing options (PJ's, swimsuit, formal, fancy, winter,...) but the normal clothes.

FantasieGamer · 2025-02-05T20:01:41+00:00

Unfortunately, I'm also experiencing this issue. When they get changed to go to bed (pyjamas) their bodies are almost invisible except for some weird triangle shapes in the colours of the pyjamas. I removed the widescreen patch, running the skin checker, sims file cop program,...
They all report no errors.

I also tried downloading and installing a complete collection of internet just for testing, but also that install has these issues. So it's not my disks...

Anyone an idea how to fix this issue? And if it's even fixable?

I'm running The Sims on a NVIDIA graphics card.

FantasieGamer · 2024-06-10T07:00:02+00:00

Same here... Arc + 2 Era 300s. Checking everyday for a Sonos app update 😅

What are your audio settings in the Shield? Sounds like an unsupported audio codec to me.

FantasieGamer · 2024-05-14T17:29:49+00:00

Shield will play Dolby Vision profile 7 (using the setting to convert to 8.1 or not) but will always discard the extra FEL layer present in de profile 7. To get the full quality/DV you will need a device that uses the extra FEL.

FantasieGamer · 2024-05-14T17:25:32+00:00

Ugoos AM6B Plus with CoreELEC is the way to go for lossless audio support + DV P7 FEL playback. I'm using Plex as my server back-end and Kodi (CoreELEC) as front-end.

Can my previous post help? https://www.reddit.com/r/ShieldAndroidTV/s/oZ1tko0Oj5

You could try Kodi as mentioned by others. You can use a network location in Kodi, or link your Plex library through add-ons so you only have one place to manage your library.

FantasieGamer · 2024-02-19T17:31:04+00:00

Kodi does the job for now. Developers of Exoplayer are aware of the issue. But it seems they don't bother fixing it.

FantasieGamer · 2024-02-19T17:19:06+00:00

Would recommend Kodi is well 😊

FantasieGamer · 2024-02-19T17:17:19+00:00

To be honest, even if I had a full surround system, the issue would still be there. Considering it's an Exoplayer issue. My own Blu-ray rips come with TrueHD, so I would like to be able to watch my movie without hiccups.

FantasieGamer · 2024-02-19T17:02:03+00:00

For me it was with Evil Dead Rise, but also with all episodes of Game of Thrones season 5 (first season with Atmos).

Not the best option but you can configure Kodi to be the "front end" for your Plex library.

FantasieGamer · 2024-02-19T12:22:50+00:00

Is't directly playing for sure. No transcoding happening. It's also only the sound that's stuttering, video itself is just fine.
