HDR videos washed out in VLC, OpenGL video output not working, how to

All my HDR video files looked washed out and muted in VLC and look normal when opened with mpv.

I've done some googling and all the advise is that switching Prefs > Video > Output to OpenGL should fix the issue by allowing tone mapping since VLC 3.0.1.

But when I change to OpenGL on my computer I no longer get video output when playing videos, only audio. How can I fix this issue?

I'm on Arch Linux, KDE, AMD 6800XT mesa drivers, with VLC 3.0.18

X or wayland ?

please post outputs of

$ glxinfo -B
$ eglinfo -B
$ lspci -k

What makes you believe VLC can downsample 10 bit videos to begin with?

VLC itself doesn't do it, but the Backend that VLC uses to playback the file can do it.

On Windows, VLC defaults to DirectX which does HDR Tone Mapping fine (its actually surprisingly good). But you can also use OpenGL which does a very good job too (you can even select the algorithm it uses for tone mapping).

So HDR Videos with VLC on an non-HDR Setup is absolutely no issue.

Here is an comparison with/without tone-mapping

On Linux the choices are sadly limited because HDR in general is supported rather lackluster in the Linux world, but it works
