Krishanh 1 Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 I've recently bought an Apple TV 4k 2022 and installed Emby on it. I can't seem to get HDR playback to activate on the TV to work... All other apps seem to work fine - like Netflix, Disney+ Plex etc and the TV seems to activate DV and HDR just fine. The files I'm playing are definitely DV and Emby on my Nvidia shield does plays it fine too. In terms of Emby settings I have put video playback to 160mpbs as that is the max and I would assume this would stop transcoding. Apple TV settings: I have set to Match dynamic content. Can anyone shed some light on why Emby is not activating HDR on my TV? Version of Emby is 1.7.3 (2) 1
Luke 40106 Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!
Krishanh 1 Posted June 26, 2023 Author Posted June 26, 2023 Sorry what information are you requesting?
vdatanet 1586 Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 1) Using MPV player HDR passthrough is not supported. 2) Using Native player HDR passthrough is only supported in direct play, so you need mp4 container because native player does not support MKV direct play.

fredflix 27 Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 Sorry to barge in. Does that mean that Infuse is still the only viable option to play HDR/DV MKVs?

stephen_hill 43 Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Hello I too have just bought and setup an Apple TV 4K (Previously I had an Fire Stick 4K) Is there a guide on how to setup the device correctly for HDR content? Many Thanks Stephen

Simflix 2 Posted February 14, 2024 Posted February 14, 2024 Was there any update on this regarding MPV supporting HDR or DV. I just tried today and my TV is not switching to DV or HDR. I really like the UX of the Emby app but if I have to use infuse for HDR and DV passthrough then I will
amddzz 4 Posted June 1 Posted June 1 Any news? Its been a while... Trying to switch over from plex but no hdr/dv is a huge dealbreaker. Even jellyfins swiftfin app does hdr/dv now

See https://github.com/jellyfin/Swiftfin/blob/main/Documentation/players.md#hdr-support

HDR or dv never gets triggered (with Jellyfin and plex it did even did av1 mkv HDR)

I have infuse lifetime but I don’t like the design and it doesn’t support live tv and multi user. ive also tried Conflux, vidhub and senplayer with Emby but none of them are 100%. They all trigger hdr and dv though… 2
