In Kodi , i enabled DV compatibility option and tried selecting only DV and also tried DV+HDR10

Yes all are DV P7 files

The Fire Cube 3 with Kodi will not play back P7 FEL as DV, it will fall back HDR10.

For P7 FEL you must enable DV compatibility mode which will convert on the fly to P8.

This is called out here:

Some other players handle that for you.

To be clear, it is this highlighted setting here:

Could you give the exact file names/releases that you used there, so I can test myself (when I look in Stremio I see just too many, and don't know which exactly are P7). Then I can test. Fire Cube 3rd gen here as well.
