So I have to convert the m2ts to mkv which THEN only seems to support HDR10.

As an example this one: http://4kmedia.org/lg-dolby-vision-uhd-4k-demo/

Once I've used MKVToolNix, the Dolby Vision is gone

Is there at least a way to see if I am using Dolby Vision or not? The TS and the MKV files look pretty much the same in MediaInfo for example. But one has DV the other doesnt....
Per my previous post, it is extremely unlikely that any existing open-source tools would be able to preserve all the required DoVi metadata. I haven't heard about a MKV mapping for DoVi. A whole lot of spec would need to be available for both the muxing and the playback for this work, even running on an app where there is an OS-level DoVi decoder and display tone mapper.
