Apple movies no hdr or Dolby vision

After updating to 11.2 netflix auto switches fine on all programming,however no apple movies which are listed as 4k dolby vision hdr play in hdr or Dolby Vision only play as standard 4k. So is this a bug or are apple falsely advertising these ?


Apple tv is set to 4k 60hz hdr with auto switching set to on

Yes, same here.

If the autoswitch feature (introduced in 11.2 beta 1) is on, all movies from iTunes are played as SDR.

Netflix app correctly adjusts HDR depending on content type.


Hope it is bug not that all content on iTunes is SDR and ATV creates HDR on the fly 😉


br, paw.

On my LG Oled E6, iTunes HD Movies directly purchased from iTunes or using iTunes codes which were upgraded by iTunes to 4K...and do play in 4K Dolby Vision.


However, other HD purchases/codes (like Vudu) added with the recent Movies Anywhere app...were not upgraded to 4K In iTunes. These only play in SDR. The cover info on iTunes indicates 4K DV (ONLY as being available), however when playing...a swipe down on remote indicates only HD quality.


Bottom line: Only iTunes purchases/codes have been upgraded (if available in 4K). Only option is to repurchase HD (as a gift) on iTunes to obtain the 4K upgrade.

I found the problem.

When the "Quick start" option is disabled - ATV 4K always shows only HD SDR content (as it downloads it first). When Quick Start is enabled - everything now with both HDR and Frame rate matching enabled works fine.

It's worth to know that with "Quck start" disabled ATV always plays HD SDR content even if output is 4K/HDR. To see real 4K HDR original content the Quick Start option MUST be enabled.
