    Hey all,

    I have a problem with my chromecast jellyfin app. It doesn't output an HDR Signal when watching HDR Content. The same Content is played in HDR when I do it via DLNA playback.
    I tried it with both HDR10 and HDR10+ content.

    The mediainfo of the content in question:
    Code:
    Complete name                            : Barbie (2023).mkv

    I use NVENC Hardware Encoding and disabled tone mapping for now.
    Also other HDR Content (YouTube) is working with the chromecast, so it's not an issue from the CC, the receiver or the TV.

    During playback I can see the following message in the Jellyfin Dashboard playback info:
    15.6 Mbps TS HEVC EAC3
    Reason for transcoding
    The video's bitrate exceeds the limit

    I attached the FFmpeg log if you need it, as i don't really know how to make sense of it.

    I had a look in the normal jellyfin log, but there is nothing worth mentioning, only a few Info messages.
    This is the ffmpeg command from the jellyfin log:
    Code:
    "/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg" "-analyzeduration 200M -probesize 1G -ss 00:03:00.000 -init_hw_device cuda=cu:0 -filter_hw_device cu -noautorotate -i file:\"/media/media/Filme/Barbie (2023).mkv\" -map_metadata -1 -map_chapters -1 -threads 0 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map -0:s -codec:v:0 hevc_nvenc -tag:v:0 hvc1 -preset p1 -b:v 15003315 -maxrate 15003315 -bufsize 30006630 -profile:v:0 main -g:v:0 72 -keyint_min:v:0 72 -vf \"setparams=color_primaries=bt709:color_trc=bt709:colorspace=bt709,scale=trunc(min(max(iw\,ih*a)\,1920)/2)*2:trunc(ow/a/2)*2,format=yuv420p\" -codec:a:0 copy -copyts -avoid_negative_ts disabled -max_muxing_queue_size 2048 -f hls -max_delay 5000000 -hls_time 3 -hls_segment_type mpegts -start_number 60 -hls_segment_filename \"/var/lib/jellyfin/transcodes/1970504ee5dee77cabf17112c79131cd%d.ts\" -hls_playlist_type vod -hls_list_size 0 -y \"/var/lib/jellyfin/transcodes/1970504ee5dee77cabf17112c79131cd.m3u8\""

    Any help is very much appreciated.

    The problem is that transcoding will always result in SDR. You probably have the max bit rate setting set to auto. Try setting it to the highest bit rate and it may not transcode.

    Ah, that makes sense.
    I tried setting it to 120Mb/s, now it's stuttering and still not in HDR.

    Is it still transcoding? Also, just for clarification, is this a Chromecast with Google TV 4K? Or a non-Google TV Chromecast? I'm assuming its the CCwGTV 4K.
