I set gfx.wayland.hdr to true and tried opening this video. It says HDR around the cogwheel, but the colors are washed out. With this option disabled the video looks great.

I tried enabling other options, like native_srgb and compositor as suggested online, but no difference.

Ah yes nvidia. I'm sure it'll get better with time. Only other thing I can suggest is trying a nightly version of firefox to see if it makes a difference.

Same problem 😢 Will play in MPV in the meantime. Luckily, there aren't many HDR videos on YouTube.

BTW, if you aren't on Nvidia, you can remove ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1. It's for https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK_hdr_layer which is not needed if you have recent Mesa drivers.

Thanks for the help!

Will do, I'm all AMD. I'm sure you won't need the mpv workaround for too long.
