Crystal. Clear. Picture. Now on Sony and NVIDIA Shield, cast movies in HDR with @GooglePlay.

Is this because of the Oreo update or did Google change something in their streaming format support?

Will HDR YouTube now work on the Shield?

If Google Play had the english audio for movies I might actually use it.

The tweet makes it seem like it was only for the cast receiver

I'm not seeing any indication of HDR in Google Play store.

So does this mean we can cast Google Play Movies to the Shield now?
My wife rented a movie on her Google account and the Shield wouldn't show up in the list of cast targets probably because my account is logged into it. Watching it would have required me to factory reset the Shield to log it in with her account. We ended up borrowing a regular Chromecast from another TV which worked flawlessly.
