HDR display support

[ironhak]

Hello...

I don't know why but 4k videos files have really bad colors. This happens also on VLC, don't know why. Here below clapper vs smplayer with the same exact video.

This does not happen with 1080p ones.

This is due to files being HDR, not 4K. HDR colorspace is not yet supported.

If you have a HDR monitor/screen, then this is a request to add HDR handling, otherwise you are asking for HDR->SDR conversion on the fly which already has an issue open: #345

Thank you. Will support be added soon?

Which one (from the 2 I mentioned earlier)? Do you have HDR capable screen?

I have it and still it's greyed out. When I use smaplyer I see good, even on non-HDR screen.

OK. So I am marking this issue as a request for HDR display support, since there is already different one for color conversion.

When I use smaplyer I see good, even on non-HDR screen.

These (display support and/or color conversion) are 2 separate things to implement differently.

Will support be added soon?

It should be already possible to add first one here and its on TODO list, but I cannot give any ETA.
