4K/HDR screensavers #28

Closed swrobel closed 3 years ago

swrobel commented 7 years ago

These were released for the ATV 4k and files are available here although apparently the HDR ones need to have their fourcc changed to playback properly (confirmed on my Vero 4k)

graysky2 commented 7 years ago

@swrobel - Nice find. Curious that there are only 9 unique ones in total.

swrobel commented 7 years ago

Yeah, there may very well be more. I just started digging into this, but the HDR Dubai ones look very nice on my Vero 4k saving the files locally to my box, editing the fourcc, and using the Video Screensaver.

graysky2 commented 7 years ago

The HDR content looks bad on my monitor editing the fourcc. If @enen92 implements these, I recommend using some sort of toggle:

1) 1080p or 4k 2) SDR and HDR

swrobel commented 7 years ago

Agreed, other people have stated on the thread I linked to for the Mac screensaver app that they look bad on non-HDR displays but I can confirm they look awesome on an HDR-capable TV.

To be clear, that is true after modifying the fourcc value as you stated... I am confused over what is different in appletv hardware since I assume that it plays these as-is, ie without that fourcc mod.

swrobel commented 7 years ago

Correct, I had to edit the fourcc, otherwise the screen just filled with garbled colored blocks when I tried to playback the file.

enen92 commented 7 years ago

Nice find. Thanks much for the info. I'll try to implement this as soon as possible but at the moment I am stuffed with work. If someone can implement and pull request the changes it would speed things up.

Cheers
