I have a number of 4k Blu Ray rips on my jellyfin server. They look great on my other HDR compatible devices (tv, Windows PC using mpv-shim), but on my pixel 6 pro dark scenes in most movies are so dark as to be unwatchable in anything other than a dark room. It's not a peak brightness problem, since brighter scenes and highlights like the sun or stars are as bright as you would expect from HDR.
For context this is using the jellyfin app integrated player and directplay.
The only way I can playback dark scenes at a watchable brightness without covering my head with a blanket is to force jellyfin to tonemap them to SDR (or use an external player that tonemaps them to SDR).
I'm aware this isn't necessarily a jellyfin issue since I get the same result playing the files in VLC (on my phone), but I'm at a loss and hoping someone here may have encountered this? Maybe some way of calibrating the screen to increase the minimum brightness?
