Hi there,

I use the regular Opera browser (not GX) and Youtube will not play in HDR. Opera GX allows me to and so does chrome. I've searched for ages and can't figure out a fix.

Thanks.

@areyoutilted Howe to check if the video is in HDR?

This was the same video. On chrome it's in HDR and on Opera it's not.

@areyoutilted I've tried a few videos from https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCve7_yAZHFNipzeAGBI5t9g and, at first, the HDR didn't show up. Then I made a test and changed opera://flags/#use-angle from OpenGL to D3D11on12 and the HDR indicator on YouTube now shows up when the video is HDR.

So I guess you have to make sure that hardware acceleration is being used to play the videos. The same happens on Chrome.
