Posting just to +1 and request this feature work on ATV.  I'm mostly using NVIDIA Shield Pros but there hasn't been an update to the hardware since 2019 and right now the ATV has some really nice features like color calibration built in that make it very tempting, but not having auto framerate and format switching working 100% kinda kills it. I know it's 2023 and this has been requested since 2021 and it's still not here but still, can't hurt to add one more voice asking for it.

Hi, yes we are working on improving this, so stay tuned.

Same here, no HDR switch on ATV 4k 2023. On the LG WebOS tv app it is switching to HDR on the same content.

Same, no HDR switch on ATV 4k 2022. HDR switching happens in Infuse, also seeing broken Dolby Vision HDR in Emby App 1.7.4, pink/green colors on screen, no issue in Infuse.

Tested also on 1.7.6, still not switching. 
The PIN login is not working, after I login on the emby.media/pin with the TV code shown on ATV nothing is happening.

HI, we'll take a look at this. Thanks for reporting.

Thank you for fixing the login issue in 1.7.7 version on Apple tv!
 

Please investigate also the HDR switch issue, I am still using the LG WebOS app due to this.

HDR switch not working on 1.7.8. Can you please address this fix? Thank you!

Anyone using the combo of the newest ATV and a Sony TV know of any way to force HDR on the Sony because I cant find it.

I was hoping to be able to use my ATV full time but not switching to HDR is a huge dealbreaker for my family members who are not going to flip through menu items every time they want to watch a movie thats HDR.

Just came here to post the same thing - the failure of the Apple TV app to send an HDR signal so the TV will change is basically making me not use Emby for now.

[vctgomes 2]

Is there any news about fix? Does HDR working on last beta from Emby to Apple TV?

I'm experiencing same issue here. No HDR or HDR10+

[Eskape 3]

Do you know if Dolby Atmos sound output is related to the HDR switch?
On the LG TV app it is passing the sound as Dolby Atmos while on apple tv, on the same HDR10 content, it is outputting Dolby Digital 5.1.

Playing HDR titles on the latest Apple TV is not great. The colour is way off and has a green and red washed out look. Has that been investigated in a beta version? Are their spaces on the Test flight for the Apple TV app? I would be willing to test it. 

[Naifalotaiby12 0]

I would report this here too for apple tv 2021 4k , I’m a premier emby user , Emby app not sending HDR or Dolby vision signal to my LG tv. Hope this will be fixed in the next update.

Having the same issues with no HDR 10 or HDR10+ switch. Have to use infuse. Native player refuses to play this and mpv is choppy.

Also playback on 1080p via mpv is choppy with sound output and sync. Not an issue with infuse. 
 

Using the latest TestFlight beta, is to possible to look at adding other player types?

Is there any news about update?

I think we'd all appriciate an estimate on when we might expect this to be fixed.

It’s going to be a while I’m sure. It’s been an issue for almost 3 years maybe even longer. I’m sure there is a true explanation for it but I lost complete faith on Emby. I would suggest to look at infuse or Plex for now

[stephen_hill 43]

If Infuse can do it then so can Emby.

But I pay for Emby, so I shouldn't have to pay for Infuse Pro too just to play my HDR content.
