DaSilva 11 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdatanet 1548 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) It direct plays? Maybe it's transcoding. Edited September 13, 2020 by vdatanet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6742 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) @DaSilva Providing the actual content is HDR, the TV is HDR compatible and the ATV app is Direct Playing it, as suggested by @vdatanet, then it should trigger HDR. Also, see How to Report a Problem. Edited September 13, 2020 by CBers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaSilva 11 Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

vdatanet 1548 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 How is the Shield connected to the TV? Check your HDMI settings, my TV needs to enable HDMI enhanced mode. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDR isn't turned on HDMI ports by default and each need HDR to be turned on in settings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
