vlc is inly player on appletv which plays hdr content in sdr and has pretty good color so please let me test upcoming hdr

[unidan]

No, not yet. But still we have tone mapping, so HDR should be correctly rendered even if it doesn't use HDR capabilities.

[mtkvnela]

yes you guys have done some ace job on tone mapping. i am really looking forward for your hdr renderer there are no apps which play hdr correctly on apple tv 4k currently.


will be happy to test for you just hit me up

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no video track selector on VLC for Apple TV yet.
