Mopar_Mudder 14 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) I have been trying to get HDR pass through with the internal player with no success. I have tried GPU and GPU-NEXT and both show up as SRD on my JVC NZ7. The File is fine because DVD Fab players passes HDR10 fine.

Mopar_Mudder 14 Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 So can someone say if Theater supports HDR10? Do I need to look for another option to be able to have the HDR10 play back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar_Mudder 14 Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 How do I tell if it is? It is being played on the same machine that Emby server is installed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When playing, pull up the stats for nerds. That will tell you. If it isn't transcoding, can you post a screenshot of the stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar_Mudder 14 Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 I posted a picture in my last post of my projector info screen while playing through Emby Theater saying it is only playing in SRD. If I play the same video with DVDFab Played the same info screen says it is HDR10 I don't know how much better I can answer your question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar_Mudder 14 Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 I don't have VLC. I do have DvdFab player. DvdFab player plays fine and outputs HDR10. So I assume since DvdFab plays in HDR it must be enabled in Windows, but I could be wrong. I will look for the settings in Windows to check.

Mopar_Mudder 14 Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 Ok I checked and HDR was not on in Windows. But I guess I am confused because when I turn that on everything plays as HDR10. DVD, AVI, Old home movies, everything. So I am guessing Windows is converting everything to HRD which is not what I want. I did verify again that with HDR off in windows DVDFab player does out put HDR10 just fine.

If yes, Windows 11 has an HDR up conversion option. Find it and disable it, but leave the HDR option enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar_Mudder 14 Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 With HRD enabled in Windows it shows HDR10 when playing a SDR video. Sorry stuff is not up and running to take a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar_Mudder 14 Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Did a little more testing tonight. With HDR on in Windows 10 all players play all files as HRD10, even if they are SRD files. With HDR off in Windows 10 Emby Theater plays all files as SDR, even 4K BluRay. Fab Player on the other hand plays SDR files as SDR and HDR files as HDR like they should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generiq 113 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 It sounds like it's working correctly and as Microsoft wants it to work. I suspect there is much you're not understanding. So here's a link that should explain how Windows works with HDR enabled. https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/10158#issuecomment-1116134571 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar_Mudder 14 Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 Well that is clear as mud LOL Bottom line is I don't want a bunch of video processing happening between the file and the projector. Seems that when Windows HDR is enabled it must be doing some kind of processing as everything shows up as HDR10 Now it must be possible because Fab Played can do it, I don't know what Emby Theater is using as an internal player. Maybe I need to try and set up an external player, but I would rather not. Fab Player will also play BDMV folders that Emby will not anymore. But Fab Player doesn't see my receiver as ATMOS, haven't looked into that issue yet, always something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
