Just buy a Shield, it plays any form of single layer Dolby Vision you can throw at it and it also supports TrueHD Atmos.

Minimum supported versions means that any version older than stated will no longer be compatible. Meaning if you're running Plex Media Server 1.15.0, then the client will not be compatible.Rumourd wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 11:27 pmPlex is already up to 1.20.xxxxjakuboleksy wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 3:49 pmhttps://forums.plex.tv/t/release-announ ... 154124/362

Are you confusing this with MakeMKV 1.15.2 or 1.15.3?
Thank you for clarifying for a dolt.jayper wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 11:38 pmMinimum supported versions means that any version older than stated will no longer be compatible.

Of course, all good. The Plex version numbering being so close to MakeMKV threw me off at first too.Rumourd wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 11:45 pmThank you for clarifying for a dolt.
You'll have to download the .apk file manually (they said you have to be a Plex Pass member in order to download it). If you're using a Shield you'll want the "arm64v8a" version. Then you'll need to get the file onto your Shield somehow. You can plug in a USB drive, or if you install something like the FX app https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... nextapp.fx which will let you load files from the network. Once you do, you just open the .apk file and it'll walk you through installation.jakuboleksy wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 3:46 amHow do you load the beta Plex? Just from the store or do I have to do something different?

Here's a video showing you how to enable "web" mode in FX so you can download the file on your computer and then drag/drop it into the Shield: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M4MTmE83pw
If you ripped the MKV using MakeMKV 1.15.2 or higher they should be good to go! If you ripped them in 1.15.1 then I think you can open it with 1.15.3 and output it back to a new file and it'll fix the metadata to match the correct spec (the same thing 1.15.2 would have created).
