Good news - I have this working in our app now as well.

 

Beta will be forthcoming.

 

Well done!

The fix was nVidia.  We just had some extra stuff laying around (from trying to work around a different device's own firmware issue) interfering with it.

Can you expand on that statement please?

 

I'm sure lots of people will be interested.

The Sony TV black bar bug maybe?

Grey bar bug but, yes, exactly.

 

Bottom line, the bug here was in the Shield experience 7.x.  They did fix it in 8.x but only if your elements had very specific properties and I had been playing with those properties to try and get around the Sony problem.

Somebody should probably tell Sniper :)

Btw, people who like to see HDR finally working with Emby on the Shield should still sign up for Nvidia's next test image. Because currently there's a new bug in the Shield (not Emby) that sends the wrong colorspace to your equipment.

+1 Faith restored!

 

And double good news, my bluray drive is one of the "UHD friendly" drives. Can rip to my standard/settings now. Happy days!

I released the app on Google today so you don't need to run beta for it.

 

Thanks.

Thank you. I wasn't pulling my hair out over this, because I was using Kodi for my HDR titles, but I'm glad to see this working using Emby now.

Can someone post a picture of the stats for nerds? I'm playing HDR content and I think it looks better, but the info doesn't show HDR in any of the information. Should it? Is there somewhere else to look too see if it is being displayed? I'm on the latest version now as well, verified the number after I updated. @@ebr thanks for all the work you and your team do!!!

Great job, ebr. Thanks for sticking with it.

Very strange, I have been on 1.7.43g for a while now.. Could that be why I reported HDR working as soon as Pie was released ?

Regardless, I am still on 1.7.43g and HDR works for me.

Your display should tell you.  The app itself doesn't have this information.

1.7.43 was created yesterday and only available yesterday afternoon so you haven't been on that version for any longer than that.

Need to put down the pipe when I look into these things.

 

Regardless, great work and many thanks !!!
