Raspberry pi and playing back HDR format films of a HD

[Venom]

Has anyone got a rpi5 and playing HDR movies off a hard drive to an OLED TV etc.

I cant seem to work out how to enable HDR.

If I play movines off a hardrive connected to TV I get the HDR logo flash to say its HDR. When I use Kodi its not flashing the logo. Originally the Kodi setting Display was set to 1920X1080P I have changed this to 3840X2160P is there anything else I should be changing to enable HDR and upscale 1080P etc. Any help would be appreaciated.

In the settings > System, there are options for enabling HDR, in KODI. For me, it only works with HDR and not Dolby Vision movies (they will look purple/green)

Are you sure you're not downloading the DV version releases, as they look that colour on most things other than the boxes they are made for.

ah I meant to say that DV doesn't work for me on Kodi only HDR movies etc

That's down to the licence.

Take a look online at the Ugoos AM6b+, and then take a look at CoreELEC. Smooshing both together makes one of the most capable players for any amount of money in the world!
