Chromecast HD not requesting transcoding for a 4K video, IF it has HDR10

When attempting to play a 4K HDR10 file on my Chromcast HD (non 4K) Google TV, it tries to direct play and fails after repeated attempts. A non HDR 4K succesfully requests to be transcoded down to 1080p and plays fine.

Not entirely sure what the problem is. It is tone mapping the HDR video and downscaling to 1080P. Both are getting AAC 7.1 audio.

Can you share the ffmpeg log from when you got the HDR video to work by setting the bit rate really low?
