The m2ts files triggers the HDR fine. Even the same movie, if i use full bluray m2ts files works ok but remuxes mkv does not trigger it .

If you use the most recent version of MediaInfo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaInfo) it'll tell if there's HDR and/or Dolby Vision in your MKV file.

Here's a DV example:

Code: Select all

Format                    : HEVC
Format/Info               : High Efficiency Video Coding
Format profile            : Main 10@L5.1@High
HDR format                : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.07.06, BL+EL+RPU, Blu-ray compatible / SMPTE ST 2094 App 4, Version 1, HDR10+ Profile B compatible
Codec ID                  : V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC

Here's a HDR10 only example:

Code: Select all

Format                    : HEVC
Format/Info               : High Efficiency Video Coding
Format profile            : Main 10@L5.1@High
HDR format                : SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 compatible
Codec ID                  : V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC

This will tell us if it is a problem with the MKV file or something with your playback chain; either the hardware or software of the player.

What device are you using to playback? You can try updating to makemkv v1.15.4 but I had no issues playing back HDR MKVs on my 1.15.3 so idk what your issue is. The file definitely has HDR available. So I'm thinking theres an issue with your playback device/method.
