Specifically related to HDR on the OLED Steam Deck it currently requires a vulkan renderer since it only works within gamescope. This github issue from a different project has more details on what is needed to make it work currently. Not sure how it'll work once KDE adds more general HDR support
Hmm jellyfin media player uses MPV, MPV has HDR support. https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/10168 So using HDR should work with gpu-next backend.
Macos Jellyfin media player neither support hdr :(
gpu-next
cannot be used from JMP because of how MPV is integrated. The MPV API does not provide the necessary functionality.
If you need HDR, you can try https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-mpv-shim and configure the mpv there to use gpu-next
.
Will there be HDR support in the future?
With HDR support arriving in Plasma 6 recently, and MPV having support with certain flags on mpv-player/mpv#13078, I believe HDR is now possible with mpv-shim. Does anyone know the state of integrated HDR support?
HDR support on linux at the time of writing is effectively nonexistent save the OLED Steam Deck and some very early proof of concepts. However, it looks like a fair amount of development, especially by the KDE Devs, is being done to bring HDR support to linux. I think it would be a good idea to get the conversation started on adding support for HDR playback inside JMP.
I understand that this is a big ask and there are upstream blockers (mpv, ect).
Describe the solution you'd like Fully support playback of HDR content (HLG / PQ BT.2020/BT.2084). I don't think Doby Vision should fall under this feature request as it's a licensed codec / standard.
Describe alternatives you've considered Currently, HDR content is supported on Jellyfin for Android TV.
