Mi Box S - Can’t cast HDR?

by Buckeyes-Niners

New to ATV... I’m trying to use my google home to cast movies I know are 4K hdr but it never switches to HDR. I also used my phone to cast an HDR movie through VUDU and it still wouldn’t switch to HDR. I know there’s the YouTube work around but is that the only way??? Netflix does cast it in HDR FWIW.

If I purchased a Chromecast Ultra instead, would these same movies cast in HDR???

Google Cast on Android TV doesn't support HDR. Chromecast Ultra does though, yes.

You could sideload smart YouTube TV that should play YouTube hdr on the box itself of course dependant on if your box had vp9 code support
