Linux / Plasma 6.4/Wayland (amd gpu) After enabling HDR in firefox - all non HDR (youtube) content just shows green sceen
I have HDR working in Proton games and mpv fine (using Plasma 6.4 / Wayland)
I enabled HDR in Firefox (gfx.wayland.hdr), and HDR content works in YouTube fine ( looks amazing!) however.. I have an issue in that all non HDR content doesn’t show any video (I have sound) just a green sceen (see screen shot) including all ads.
Any idea how to work round this ?
I have AMD 7800 GPU .
Cheers

What happens in X11? What OS? What Desktop? Did you try with Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla. Download, unzip, and run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release

Hi.
My understanding is HDR can only be enabled in Wayland
OS/Desktop was mentioned in Subject - Linux / Plasma 6.4/Wayland
I will try downloading the binary mentioned and running in troubleshoot mode - but given that other link i posted this seems to effect users regardless of which distro.
I will update later - thanks
Duh... you did mention Plasma. ;-)) Wayland issue... Jones out...
The binary build of firefox did the same.
However ... I have found that this only effects when not viewing full screen
i.e full screen SDR content (when HDR is enabled) is ok also if you 'pop out/Picture-in-Picture' the video .
Really odd

This is a work-in-progress. It still has many bugs. There's a reason it's not enabled by default.
