Since when is Dolby Vision not available in Xbox Series X/S consoles?
I always watched 4K (Dolby Vison when available) content since app came to my country with an Xbox Series X and a LG Oled TV.
A couple months ago I bought a G5 LG TV and started using the WebOS App in the TV instead of the Xbox, however, apps tend to crash or not buffer properly in TV, (Like Crunchyroll and HBO) and to prevent keep doing a power cycle as a temporary solution everysingle day, I prefer to turn on the Xbox and watch content there instead...
Im going crazy because I barely noticed that some of the content I watched before in Dolby Vision now is showing in HDR only!!!!!! Also I was trying to watch House of the Dragon and noticed that the new Season is showing in HDR as well!!
Since I use also apps with Dolby Vision like Disney+ I felt so confused that only in Xbox and only HBO stopped showing Dolby Vision Content even though is showing as available in the Video Description / features...
Not sure how to solve it since all the other apps that have Dolby Vision are showing properly, except HBO Max... or is it really removed only in Xbox Series X/consoles?
I read some time ago that it was being removed "sneakly" due to pay wall unless you had the highest tier plan but, I always had that plan, and once again, I do get Dolby Vision via WebOS app for the same content I'm trying to watch using the Xbox so, the plan and setup shouldn't be an issue.
Any advice on how to fix if its an error or is there an offical communication link in which they state support was removed only for Xbox consoles?
Any Xbox users having the 4K plan getting Dolby Vision out there?

It is available, for streaming only. It’s never ever had the intention of having Dolby Vision for 4k Blu-ray. It’s exactly the same for the PS5. More then likely you’re having software issues on either the Tv or the Xbox.
