It works, others have tested. I wrote the code and understand it pretty well.
All you have show here is that DV does not play under your setup. Debuglog and we can figure out why. Otherwise, not much can be done to resolve YOUR issue.
Use DVDFab to generate a "Sigle Layer" .mp4 file (choose the "single layer" profile, deselect any optimization settings and export the file without any audio track)

The LG demos tested in that post were profile 4 dual layer which has now been deprecated by Dolby. True profile 5 Dolby Vision clips still don't seem to play back with correct colors at least according to what @cosmoxl reported. What DVDFab produces is pseudo profile 5.

Why can't we use only this?
You can if you only want eac3 audio. As soon as you demux (export) the video track it strips off any rpu info and leaves you with an hdr10 only hevc file. so the actual mp4 that is made needs to be manipulated to add hd-audio.

Same as the others. It triggers DV but has wrong colors.
But, there are several other DV samples I have that do play properly. I guess a different profile?
From what I have gathered, profile 4 & "DVDFab profile 5" clips play correctly on MrMC. Bitstreams with ICtCp color are not playing properly. From what James stated on his forum, Infuse seems to play that one also correctly. I haven't independently verified any of these. I left my ATV4K at my parent's place when I visited them last. I will have to get a new one now

It's actually an Apple issue with AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer (used by AVFoundation codec). Apple's player does not handle the ICtCp color right. At least under 12.4.
Infuse uses the Apple Metal API instead of OpenGLES. The Metal API can render 10-bit. OpenGLES cannot.
So we are back to getting Metal API rendering at least for video content.
