HEVC UHD titles not recognizing HDR

I recently bought a one month license for Emby to kick the tires on it as I am having issues with Plex on an Nvidia Shield when trying to play back UHD HDR content consistently.  Of course I am having issues with Emby, too.  My problem is that some of my UHD Blu Ray MKV files will play fine and HDR is recognized and properly displayed, other movies appear washed out and will NOT play properly with Emby.  Here are two that will not and one that does.  Can someone tell me if they see a reason why they would not?
 
Aquaman - washed out HDR and app doesn't recognize the file type
Saving Private Ryan - washed out HDR and app doesn't recognize the file type
Infinity War - plays ok except for all green blockiness part way through the film.  This also happens in Plex which means it must be an Nvidia Shield issue.
 
 
The Plex app DOES properly play them, if it matters.

 

EDIT - I wonder if it has to do with subtitles?  I noticed that Infinity War does not have them but the others do.  Is that throwing the Emby client for a loop?

Thanks!  But my files are not cropped or transcoded, just taking a mux of the original 2160p film.

I am assuming you want to see this?  Here is one pic from a UHD mkv movie that is recognized and one that is not in the Emby client.  Keep in mind that both are taken from a Blu Ray disk and just remuxed to an MKV.  No transcoding.  And both handled via the same app (CloneBD).  Also, both play fine in Plex.

and the other that does not:

Maybe mine is missing something.  Are you saying to scroll down on the screens I posted above?  If I do, there is only chapter, cast and related movies sections.

Can you open that one in the web app, click the 3-dot menu and refresh the metadata? Then restart the android tv app and see if anything changes. If not, please attach the emby server log. thanks !

The Aquaman screenshot shows Video <Unknown> and no audio track, so it would appear to be a metadata media info issue to me.  Maybe failed ffprobe?

I was thinking something similar.

I am assuming Plex uses something different than FFmpeg as it can see the metadata for the file properly.  Is there a way to resolve this?

No bueno.  Here is the log.  For what it is worth, the web client also doesn't recognize the file video or audio.

The log shows ffprobe erroring on the file, so I can only assume there is a issue in the header information of the file.  A dev will have to comment further.

It's probably a bad mux. But back to the original issue. If the file is directly played, whatever is playing it shouldn't be subject to the server metadata. It's handled by the player. But.... because of a bad mux, that may actually be why it doesn't play correctly. Try running it through mkvtoolnix. And try another scan.

Will do.  I am still perplexed why this will play correctly in different players.

 

That's the thing with weird muxes, some players will be ok, others won't. I've come across so many files made with makemkv that are weird muxes, who knows why????

Strange. We're about to release emby server 4.1. can you try this again once available? Thanks.

Still has a problem with 4.1.1.0

 

I think it is specifically a problem with the parsing of 4k HEVC (Main 10 HDR) films - they all fail but play ok on Plex.

Attached are clips of plex and emby - the latter shows no video info.

hello

could you solve the problem, same thing happens with some files with x265 codec, Bsplayer does not play them, but VLC does. the film is not show them on android tv, or on the webpage, but even on the mobile app it even plays.

and in the android cellphone

It occurred to me to change the name of the folder because I thought it was very long and believe it or not it was the solution.

 

the old path
