ios HDR Playback

[NakorTBR 5]

Greetings,

 

It seems the HDR playback on ios is not receiving the correct information for brightness.  Playback on my iPad Pro (m1) seems like its SDR.  Ive tried both MKV and MP4 containers, and both are direct playing (see attached).  Is the bt2020 profile not supported?

Hi, this might be improved in the beta if you'd like to try that:

Still performing the same with HDR on the testflight version. 

 

Its really hard to capture, but this pic is a good example.  Its as if its only allowing a certain nit brightness.  Is there a way to force switch between native and mpv player to test?

Left is infuse, right is Emby (iOS v 2.2.6)

Yes, MPV player does tone mapping and the picture is really dark (reported a long time ago)

Oranges and purples can use native player with full support for MKV 4K HEVC HDR streaming using HLS fMP4, but the green ones don't have it
