Shield TV 2019 Pro HDR

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I’ve been trying to get HDR activated in the Emby app on the Shield TV 2019 Pro but I can’t seem to get it to work. 
Maybe I’m missing some settings on the Shield or in the Emby app?

When I play the same movie on my HTPC with madvr set to pass all HDR data to the TV then the TV switches into HDR mode. 
 

Thanks in advance for any help. 
 

Shield TV 2019 Pro

Shield Experience 8.2.0

Emby v1.8.32g Registered

Emby Server v4.3.0

First of all, thanks for the reply. 

I just checked and the movie is Direct Playing. 
Tv is HDR capable and the movie has HDR metadata (Emby with madvr on HTPC and Kodi on Shield both kick the Tv in HDR mode). 
So is there maybe a setting that I’m missing?

First I tought maybe the Emby app was an old version but I can’t seem to find any updates (v1.8.32g).

No, there are no settings for HDR in the ATV app.

It should just work.

Can you upload a 1 minute sample here for us to test on our Shields?

How is the Shield connected to the TV? Check your HDMI settings, my TV needs to enable HDMI enhanced mode.

My Samsung is the same way.  HDR isn't turned on HDMI ports by default and each need HDR to be turned on in settings
