Install the Emby Diagnostics Plugin from the catalog and choose Extra-T for VAAPI tone mapping. You will need this plugin installed to try the Extra-T tone mapping options. Let us know if this makes any difference for you. I think I found the setting, turn it on and keep the default setting?
Carlo 4560 Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 Yes just like that. Does this tone map or also switch off to software tone mapping?

No, software transcoding seems to be enabled. Some hdr resources can call gpu transcoding, but some cannot. The color of successfully calling gpu transcoding is incorrect.
Carlo 4560 Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 Can you go over a specific situation where it is doing GPU tone mapping?

Carlo 4560 Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 Can you upload an ffmpeg log file for one with AC3 and one with TRUEHD for us to look at?

Carlo 4560 Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 It looks like you were playing the truehd version back with subtitles that needed burning in. Can you try that file without subs?

Carlo 4560 Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 OK that sounds correct now. Ideally if you can source SRT subs for content that needs tone mapping or even transcoding when possible as these srt subs are friendly and won't get in the way of tone mapping or transcoding.

Could it be resolved in a future version？
Carlo 4560 Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 Subs that can't be played back with the device need to have the subs "burned in" to become part of the video. That changes the way the file needs to be transcoded which can break hardware based tone mapping. There really isn't a lot Emby can do about this. What many users including myself do is try to use SRT when ever possible as these are just text files and just about every client can handle these in some way even if the format of the sub needs to get changed on the fly.
Luke 42077 Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 When the subs are being burned in they should be visible, so if they're not, then yes, that can be resolved. Is that what's happening? Or just that combining with tone mapping results in software transcoding?
Carlo 4560 Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 When being burned in for this sub type it needs to be overlaid which breaks hardware tone mapping/transcoding and falls back to CPU.

Carlo 4560 Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 SRT or Subrip (internal) would likely be fine. Anything text base is going to be easy to process.

Could you please go to "Transcoding" and set it to "Advanced". There, disable all VAAPI codecs and enable all QuickSync codecs. Save Retry Playback with tone mapping and subtitle overlay. 1

Wow, that’s great, except for the wrong colors. Hardware acceleration is already used normally. Thank you

Of course, I still have a question, is there any convenient way to update the dock version of emby on Synology? Now when there is a new version, I need to download the new version and reconfigure it, and then delete the old version. Too much time, and the client needs to log in again embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-00064ed6-b40c-471b-86a9-5dba3e8865d1_1.txt
softworkz 5066 Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 @winniewangyh - Thanks for the logs. Tonemapping is working now with QuickSync HW acceleration. I assume the colors are good now? 1

It sounds like you're setting up a new docker instance and removing the old one for each release vs just updating what you already have configured with docker pull emby/embyserver:latest Have a read through the instructions for our docker install/upgrade pages which includes directions for updates. https://hub.docker.com/r/emby/embyserver
