Making a blu-ray rip trigger hdr on tv

When I put a standard non 4k blu-ray disc in my sony ubp-x700 it triggers HDR mode on my sony x900E. Is it possible to make a rip do the same thing. I can play an uncompressed mkv rip through the usb port of the ubp-x700 but it doesn't trigger HDR. What I'd like to be able to do is play a compressed rip through my synology and trigger HDR mode on the tv. Is this something that can be achieved ?

Standard Blu-rays don't have HDR so the player is "enhanceing" it if you want HDR rip 4k Blu-rays and don't rely on some fake hdr stuff movies are best watched as intended not has some player thinks

Ok thanks for replying, appreciate it.

I just want to know if anybody has actually tried or is currently doing it. I understand that there is a reason why most people would not bother in the first place but maybe somebody has or is. If there is somebody out there that is making rips of standard blu-rays with the ability to trigger HDR mode on TV I would be interested in how to do it (whether it's directly through the ubp-x700 or not). If not no problem I'd still like to thank the people of this forum for sharing their information.
