Feature request: Support for transcoding only HDR videos #737

Open Veda82 opened 1 year ago

Describe the bug I have some H265 HDR videos that I would like to play on a SDR TV on a Raspberry Pi 4 using LibreELEC; in order to do that, I need Jellyfin to do Tone Mapping and re-encode the video, since Raspberry cannot perform Tone Mapping.

I also have some H265 (no HDR) videos that play perfectly fine on the Raspberry withouth transcoding.

Would it be possible to add an option to transcode only HDR videos?

Thanks in advance!

I did something similar here for Dolby Vision, which could be adapted for all HDR videos: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-kodi/pull/807/commits/4de708dfd2271b3f531d71767a7205a4f19016f6
