Best setup for Jellyfin + Dolby Vision TV? (programming.dev)

This might not be entirely on topic, but I think someone here will know the answer.

Does anyone have a working setup for streaming from jellyfin to an OLED TV (preferably LG) that supports Dolby Vision? AFAICT every device in the chain (except the server) needs to be DV-licensed.

Apparently KODI on a linux box (my current setup) cannot output DV content over HDMI.

I'm wondering if LG's native OS has a Jellyfin client that supports DV well. It's either that or:

Apple TV + infuse client (expensive)
Google TV Streamer

Another reason I can't justify leaving Plex 😭

Jellyfin supports DV as well, so it isn't a reason after all.

Thanks. It's configured alongside my plex instance, I just haven't really used it much yet.
