Are you sure your phone does?

If in doubt, set the decoder (Settings -> Decoder -> Decoder priority) to "Device decoders only". Why?

This project uses media3 for media handling. Media3 in turn uses device codecs to handle formats. Your device must have hardware extension for dolby vision.

Next, how to figure out if your device has that? Download Media Codec Info on your device and look in the "VIDEO" tab. If you see anything that named "DOLBY-VISION" or "DV" or something similar then your device has, from a hardware point of view, the right features to playback dolby vision.

If at this point your device actually has DV support and media3 does a proper job of detecting it then it should just work.
