How does HDR work/recognize

1st Official Post

    Hi,

    Maybe a silly question but how can I check if HDR is working correctly? Or let me rephrase I suspect it's not working in my case.

    Because when I check my TV settings I usually can see if a HDR source is detected. However when I uselibreelec I don't see the HDR icon on my TV. But the screen looks ok prior to this version HDR content usually looked like it had too much white in it but I can't see any of that.

    When I use Kodi install via Windows I can play the same HDR content without any issues. And in this scenario my TV does detect the HDR source (because it shows a hdr icon). I also see in the kodi settings under video a toggle to turn off/on hdr which I don't see in the Libreelec version.

    Specs

    I tested with a NUC dual boot libreelec beta and windows 10 / kodi install.

    HDR isn't supported on x86 devices at this time.

    There is a thread on here with some WIP builds to support HDR but your mileage may vary.

    will it be compatible with HDR when the stable version 10 comes out?

    There are still test builds being provided in the thread that I linked to in my previous post (directly above yours). Since this is still being worked on, no-one can guarantee the performance with your hardware (especially from an unknown brand bought from AliExpress). My advice would be to take a backup of your current settings so that you can reapply them if you need to reinstall your current software version, and then give one or more of the test builds a try. Most x86 users are using Intel platforms (but some are using AMD), so any additional testing and feedback would be helpful to developers

    OK, thanks, I'll go testing.

    Thanks!!

    I forgot to comment that the HDR in the Ryzen 5 works the HDR perfectly with LE beta, what happens is that the icon of HDR or HDR + does not appear, it is a Samsung Q60T.
