Hi! I really want to see HDR support in Plex. At this moment I can’t play original HDR files on my Nvida Shield without using Kodi. Also the the colours on a HDR file look very weird on both HDR and SDR screens. Please support me in this request 😄 ---

It works as long as it’s a direct stream. I can do it on my Vizio M series TV. ---

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes. > [@\[Implemented\] HDR-\>SDR Transcoding](https://forums.plex.tv/t/hdr-sdr-transcoding/229894/1): > > Apologies if this has been requested before…I wasn’t able to find it. With 4K HDR material becoming more and more prevalent, it’s causing compatibility issues with players/displays that are not HDR-capable (washed-out colors, primarily). Plex could really help bridge this transition period by having the ability to transcode from HDR to SDR. I understand that this is on the bleeding-edge, and would be a herculean task for the transcoding team…but I think it would pay huge dividends in the coming… Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing). Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it. * * * Rules for the Feature Suggestions forum section: - Please **search** before creating a new suggestion thread. - Only one feature per thread.
