Question regarding tone mapping - awake - 2023-07-24
Hey there,
so I've set up myself a nice Jellyfin server and I'm currently working on the settings. There is the possibility of enabling tone mapping which maps HDR to SDR. However, if I want to watch a movie on a 4K HDR capable device, wouldn't it make sense to turn it off or is tone mapping disabled by default in this case?
I wasn't able to find answers in the documentation - maybe I didn't manage to look at the right places so feel free to point me in a direction, too!
And as always: thanks in advance!

If your device natively supports HDR and the codec, tone mapping does not occur. Enabling tone mapping is only for situations where your content is HDR and you are watching on a device that doesn't support HDR.
