HDR videos look bad on iMac 27" 2017 #3807

@low-batt

Description

@low-batt

System and IINA version:

  • macOS unknown
  • IINA 1.3.0

Expected behavior:
HDR videos are converted to SDR on non-HDR monitors.

Actual behavior:
IINA now forces HDR, so I have to manually turn off the HDR via option every time I start video which was encoded in HDR. Otherwise the video is unwatchable

Please add option to permanently turn it on/off in menu, because turning it off every time is really annoying

See discussion #3781 for mpv log.


Steps to reproduce:
Play a HDR video on a 2017 27" iMac.

  • MPV does not have this problem.

How often does this happen?
Everytime.

IINA was updated today to 1.3.0 version

I don't have HDR monitor, previously IINA somehow converted all HDR videos into SDR

Now it forces HDR,so I have to manually turn off the HDR via option every time I start video which was encoded in HDR. Otherwise the video is unwatchable

Please add option to permanently turn it on/off in menu, because turning it off every time is really annoying

thank you
