I am moving from Plex to Jellyfin and the only issue keeping me from shutting down Plex for good is that Jellyfin won't play HDR files as HDR; my TV indicates when it goes into HDR mode and while this works when I play the file with Plex, it does not for Jellyfin. I've searched for a solution but can't find one. Am I missing a setting that will address the issue?
Both Jellyfin and Plex are running on the same server, a Windows 11 machine with an i9-13900H and 32GB RAM. The Jellyfin server version is 10.11.6. This happens on two different TVs, both using Roku.
The file info is below. Again, if I play this with Plex, the HDR icon pops up on the TV and the video looks great. If I play it with Jellyfin, the HDR icon does not appear and the video looks washed out. Any advice is appreciated.
