I set gfx.wayland.hdr to true and tried opening this video. It says HDR around the cogwheel, but the colors are washed out. With this option disabled the video looks great.
I tried enabling other options, like native_srgb and compositor as suggested online, but no difference.
I use it with Arch & KDE. Just enabled HDR in display settings and did the calibration. Only issue I had was with cyberpunk, couldn’t get hdr to work properly (seems to be a known issue). Works with other games I’ve tried, youtube hdr videos, and mpv hdr movies.
Edit: I tested your link (as well as other hdr youtube videos ) and it was washed out. I remember watching that exact video before to test my monitor. I downloaded firefox 144 and it worked properly so I think something in 145 broke youtube hdr in linux.
I just managed to get Cyberpunk with HDR working. I downloaded Protonup-Qt, installed GE-Proton10-25, selected it in Steam and added
PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1I downloaded firefox 144
Hmm… It’s still washed out for me If I downgrade it.
It works on Fedora 42 with KDE just out of the box with the GUI display setting for me, but I frequently need to rebalance the brightness with the wizard KDE provides for HDR brightness, it fucks up and gets very dark until I redo that every N times I turn the TV off and on again.
I’m also on Plasma 6.5 and I set HDR to enabled… So you didn’t enable the toggle in
about:config? In my case it shows the video on SDR.Oh, I meant overall, not specifically in Firefox, I’ve only used video players directly for HDR, not web players (idk where I’d even find HDR webplayer content tbh)
Ah, got it! Yes, HDR works fine for me in MPV. Maybe I should install an extension to open videos in it 🤔
Nice! Glad to hear it works.
