Overblown HDR videos on YouTube #96

Open OnurDegirmnci opened 9 months ago

OnurDegirmnci commented 9 months ago

I love the app and especially because it is open source. I've just created a GitHub account so I could post this issue here. When I'm watching a HDR video on YouTube, it's overexposed and overblown. Therefore requires me to disable BrightIntosh to enjoy watching the HDR video. This only happens when I'm looking at HDR content. Is there a way to fix that? Can't the tool recognize it when a HDR content is being played, so it does not overexpose the content?

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your interest in the project. This issue is known but I haven't found an apparent solution. This is definitely something worth looking into and I will provide updates in this place when I have further information.

Thank you very much Niklas! I enjoy BrightIntosh so much that I never want to deactivate it. I've set BrightIntosh to 100% but the display brightness to 50%. Would you say this is safe? I know that if something happens, you or BrightIntosh are not responsible for it. Thanks!

I think that it is safe as the resulting brightness shouldn't be even near the maximum brightness. But just like you said, unfortunately there is no guarantee.

I am having the same issue with Google Photos HDR videos. It took me a while to understand it was coming from BrightIntosh, so it might be worth mentioning it in the app somewhere.
