HDR on NVidia Shield fails to stream
When using Moonlight on Nvidia Shield if you turn on HDR the resolution seems to change to some unsupported mode causing my TV to claim there is no longer any signal on the HDMI. If I use my remote to go back, the stream ends and I can see video again.
If HDR is turned off it works. If I disable HEVC streaming works again but HDR does not. The stream works with HDR off normally.
If you're using a cable or TV that only supports HDMI 1.4, that could explain it.
Do other HDR video streams work (particularly 4K 60 FPS video)?
Moonlight picks a display mode that Android itself believes the display supports. Apps are not allowed to just change the display to whatever random mode they feel like.
If Android is advertising a display mode that doesn't actually work, it means one of a few possibilities:
- Your TV really does support the display mode, but your HDMI cable doesn't support HDMI 2.0 or is non-compliant with HDMI 2.0 (even if advertised as HDMI 2.0)
- Android is configured to enable particular display modes that are not actually supported by your TV. You should check the HDR display settings on your SHIELD.
- Your TV has incorrect EDID data that claims it supports modes it doesn't actually support.
