I set gfx.wayland.hdr to true and tried opening this video. It says HDR around the cogwheel, but the colors are washed out. With this option disabled the video looks great.
I tried enabling other options, like native_srgb and compositor as suggested online, but no difference.
Strange that enabling hdr on a clean profile doesn’t work for me 🤔
Maybe it’s because I use Nvidia. I regret this choice every day.
Yep, it works in Chromium. And I checked
media.prefer-non-ffvpxjust in case.Ah yes nvidia. I’m sure it’ll get better with time. Only other thing I can suggest is trying a nightly version of firefox to see if it makes a difference.
Same problem 😢 Will play in MPV in the meantime. Luckily, there aren’t many HDR videos on YouTube.
BTW, if you aren’t on Nvidia, you can remove
ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1. It’s for https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK_hdr_layer which is not needed if you have recent Mesa drivers.Thanks for the help!
Will do, I’m all AMD. I’m sure you won’t need the mpv workaround for too long.
