vaise 303 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I have added the various TV brands 4K HDR demo videa to a USB plugged into the TV directly, and also to a test emby library. When these, or some other ripped HDR movies are played from the USB, the picture mode offered the HDR options (HDR Standard, HDR Vivid etc) TV HDMI set to enhanced (which is needed for HDR). Roku is a streaming Stick plus - it can do 4K and HDR (Im told with some googling). But when played back from emby server, I never get the HDR options from the TV picture menu. Emby says it is 'direct streaming'. Any ideas ? I will likely be getting a Nvidia Shield eventually but thought I would give this a wack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36889 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Does the Roku product page indicate that it supports HDR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaise 303 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Yes. My TV supports all this - and of course - HDR works from the USB stick. This is from the roku page : Great for: High-performance portability* | TVs further from your router | 4K and HDR TVs* HD TVs – Up to 1080p (1920 x 1080) with up-scaling from 720p 4K UHD TVs – Up to 2160p at 60fps (3840 × 2160) with up-scaling from 720p and 1080p.

Solution speechles 1912 Posted January 7, 2019 Solution Share Posted January 7, 2019 If the Roku supports HDR you should have settings to control this. You must be using 4K resolution to get HDR. 720P and 1080P are upscaled to 4K retaining HDR. Otherwise without 4K support you get no HDR. Settings>>Display Type>>4K HDR 30Hz TV then there is Settings>>Display Type>>4K HDR 60Hz TV Are these settings not there on the Roku streaming stick+? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaise 303 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 You Da Man Speechless - as usual. That was set to 4K 60, not 4K 60 HDR. Now the test video's are the same as that on the usb stick - colour is no longer washed out. Nice 1. Still need the shield for Atmos - but don't have that capability as yet.
