MP 7,1 HDR video player that supports XDR?

[Sinsear]

I've tried all the common video players thus far: IINA, mpv, VLC, and none of them work with HDR10/HDR10+ video files on the XDR display. The videos are all played in SDR; it's blatantly not HDR. The only HDR video I've gotten to work on this setup is watching an HDR video on YouTube on the latest version of Chrome. Anyone have any suggestions?

Could this be a configuration issue in mpv or VLC?

Also when you watch HDR, it doesn't automatically switch correct? You have to manually select the HDR setting on the Display Settings?

It automatically switches for things like YouTube HDR videos in Chrome (YouTube HDR doesn't work in Safari). I don't see the HDR setting under Display Settings; that must've been deprecated.

The dropdown on your Presets should show HDR along with other presets.

I was using Safari. Will try Chrome.

I have a MP7,1 with a Vega II duo and a couple of XDRs hooked up to it: (up to date on software and firmware)

Youtube:
-----------
I used this as a test:

+ In chrome plays as HDR both windowed and full screen
- In safari no HDR
- In Firefox: no HDR
- In Opera: no HDR

VLC:
------
I've never been able to get VLC to output HDR either.

tv.app:
---------
Apple TV+ content in the tv.app plays HDR (I think) I'm not 100% sure to be honest. Maybe just need more obvious source material.





I do have an LG OLED so I know how it reacts to HDR and Dolby Vision inputs, and the effect is a bit less dramatic on the XDR, still in things like the youtube video it's quite visible without any transition or message on screen that it started to receive HDR content or so.


Settings of the displays:

On a battery powered laptops and internal displays etc. you need to do more settings:

Play HDR video on Mac - Apple Support

Support for high dynamic range (HDR) video, such as HDR movies and TV shows from Apple or other providers, requires the latest version of macOS, a compatible Mac model, and an HDR10-compatible display, TV, or projector.

I think http://optimusplayer.com is about the only third party general video player that currently actually supports hdr on macos

Movist Pro works with HDR on macOS. It has the option to use system default tone mapping, which is exactly what quicktime uses, or we can select BT. 709 for HDR -> SDR conversion.
