This was feed to mrmc via Plex on backend if that matters.

This was the demo:

(though this appears to be a .ts file and not a .lge file-i got the .lge file off of post on avsfourm...)

I think MrMC will play single layer DV. It's the double layer that won't play. But, maybe I'm misunderstanding.

It is dual-track Dolby Vision that is not playable. Single track dual-layer ones play fine even though Apple states that it is not supported. All those LG demo files are single track dual-layer.
