MetaData in Video Files
Posted: 27 Aug 2026, 14:06
I have a situation. I play videos on my network using Jellyfin. To Android, to FireTV, and to Roku. When I have videos which contain DV (Dolby Video) they do not play correctly because my hardware does not support DV. Playback shows over-saturated yellow tinged video which is not watchable.

Brooklyn's Finest (2010)[Crime, Drama, Thriller] [SD] [NOT HEVC][hasDV-HDR].mp4Format: Select all
{ if (vcf != /HEVC/) ' [NOT HEVC]' }
{if (width >= 3840 || height >= 2160) return " [4K]"
if (width >= 1280 || height >= 720) return " [HD]"
return " [SD]"}
Binding: "hdr" undefined means that the video you are testing with is SDR and not HDR. That's the correct behaviour for SDR files. Nothing is added the file name, and in the format editor you will give you an information message to indicate that it's working but not doing anything for the specific file at hand.
You'll want to test with HDR files if you want to see {hdr} do something:
