Grey bars on HDR Playback

Hi, 

 

I don't know if this issue is related to Emby or Android TV.

 

My TV is a Sony (KD-55X8505C) and I'm totally happy with the picture quality in general.

 

Last week I've tried to play some HDR videos in Emby and I'm having some strange behaviour.

When I play an HDR video I got perfectly black pixels within the video itself but when the video is 21:9 the black bars at the top and bottom are grey.

 

Unfortunately it's not possible to check the picture settings as the playback stops when opening the actions menu of the Sony TV.

 

Netflix doesn't have this issue - Amazon not tested yet.

 

Anyone else struggling with this issue?

 

Regards

It could be the TV adding them, or it could be the way the player is interpreting the blank space or, perhaps, they could even be embedded in the file (less likely).

 

Check your TV settings and see if there is an option for this.  Some of them do have the option to show grey instead of black bars.
