To cut a long story short: 1. Emby server does not support HLS using fMP4 container, so MKV HEVC streaming using native player is not possible (full transcode is required) 2. MPV does not support HDR passthrough Time passes and problems remain Edited April 18, 2021 by vdatanet
raevengel 0 Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 Does this mean Emby doesn't play any HDR - and is this issue on AppleTV only? Or is it affecting other players like Roku, Shield, etc?

Emby is fine on every other device, just the AppleTV, a device that makes it difficult for users to play their own content, has a "bad" experience. If you want HDR/DolbyVision move to Android or Roku. 1
Luke 39618 Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 We are working on improving it. Thanks for the feedback.
vdatanet 1574 Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 It's hard to understand why oranges and purples have HLS fMP4, but green ones don't. 2

Any idea on when these updates will come out? Was going to switch to Plex for Dolby Vision support but may hold off if this is happening soon. 2
