Hi all, Each time I try and play any Dolby Vision content via Plex using my Nvidia shield which is connected to my Sony STR-DN1080 AVR I intermittently keep getting no signal found on my TV but the audio carries on playing. As this is intermittent the only way I can get the video to play again is if I change the TV source to something else and back again, and only then the video appears on the TV and plays fine. It looks like there could be a handshake issue somewhere. This problem only seems to be playing Dolby Vision content. If I play anything in HDR (BT2020) that always works fine.
To troubleshoot I am using HDMI 2.1 certified HDMI Cables and I did buy a new one to see if that would eliminate the problem but it didn't. I also tried changing to different inputs on the amp but again I still had the same issue. As a final test I decided to plug the Nvidia Shield directly into a free HDMI port on my LG CX TV and send the audio down to my AMP using eARC and that appeared to have resolved everything. I no longer get any signal loss when I try and play Dolby Vision content. I could leave it like this but I would actually prefer the Shield to be connected directly to the AMP as my LG CX TV will not support or passthrough DTS audio tracks over eARC.
Has anyone else encountered this type of problem and manage to find a fix?
Thanks
