Issues with HDR playback on Android with Huawei MediaPad M5 (CMR-W09) #17401
Comments
HDR plays correctly on hardware that supports it well, i.e. : Shield 2019 This issue seems a duplicate #20695 |
I don't see how this is a duplicate of #20695. The colors are not just washed out or mapped wrongly, HDR videos are downright unwatchable (stutter, color artifacts like shown in the screenshots I provided). |
Huawei MediaPad M5 (your hardware) even supports HDR? I mean with other player i.e Netflix App your device plays 4K HDR perfectly and is only Kodi issues? |
That I don't know. I don't have anything besides Kodi for testing. I'd say it probably doesn't. However, I wonder why Kodi tries to run HDR content through hardware decoding without checking whether HDR is actually supported or not (falling back to software decoding if it isn't). |
These devices usually do not have enough power to decode H.265 4K by software (not even 8bit SDR), that is to say that the only option is that they have the HW support anyway. |
That is certainly the case for 4k, but there is enough power to decode 1080p HDR in software. |
I don't know because I don't have this device. You can test it by disabling HW acceleration from Settings / Player and test 1080p HDR10 video. The pixelation problems will probably disappear but it will still be seen with the colors off. I think there may be some unresolved issue regarding HDR to SDR tonemapping on Android on systems that don't do it by HW. It reopens for this reason, although I doubt that anything can be done for this particular device. |
