Dolby Vision causes low frame rate and stuttering

Any movie that uses Dolby vision has been having a low frame rate and occasional stuttering. I'm using Superman 2025 for testing because the many rotating shots make it very noticeable when the frame rate is off.

I'm running off an Nvidia Shield 2019 pro with the Jellyfin for Kodi add-on. My tv is a TCL Qm6k Pro which does support Dolby vision. I have tried enabling Dolby vision compatibility mode and that has made no difference, I've also messed around with all of the video player settings that seem relevant but I cannot find anything that helps. When I turn off Dolby Vision on the shield it outputs in HDR 10 and I get smooth playback

I use Kody because the native jellyfin app always transcodes dolby vision for some reason. when I play off of the Jellyfin app I get smooth playback but no Dolby vision.

I also have a 4K Blu-ray player and when I put a 4K disc with Dolby Vision in, it plays with Dolby vision and I get smooth playback

Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
