HDR unexpectedly back again

[0xrxL]

Bug description

Since client spoofing becomes a reality, the more stable spoof (iOS) didn't show HDR on quality menu...until now at least:

In short: I applied a patch to enable OPUS codec, created by @inotia00, and I unexpectedly noticed that HDR videos are played as expected:

Oh...and these are my client model infos:

What fixes it is the header and not the patch

I don't know how HDR has been fixed on my side, so I posted the patch (which I currently use) as a possible fix, along with the client information I'm using.

[oSumAtrIX]

As previously explained it can be fixed by using the expected IOS header in the player request. But there is no known way to change the header just for that request

It's already fixed for me, as I previously described.

Maybe you can try to check if it is fixed on your side too, with above infos. 🤷‍♂️

Your device support HWA AV1 decoding?

Your device support HWA AV1 decoding?

Yeah, but before now I wasn't able to enable HDR on videos.

For this reason I thought there is something of useful, that can be applied to stock ReVanced too.

Thats actually bit strange since HDR video shouldn't be available unless you change the user-agent,
Can you show the stat for nerd when playing HDR videos?

I changed the user agent a month ago and only now I got HDR.

Maybe it's due to the new user agent I used?

Anyway you'll find my screenshots here

I try with iOS 15/16 and yeah only iOS 17 got HDR/AV1 format, youtube maybe changes something.

Prev test with iOS 15 is here

Im not iPhone user, but at least iPhone 12 up should support HDR right?

edit: googling and found that even iPhone X support HDR (?)

HDR is available starting from iPhone X, yeah, but I guess that codec wasn't aligned to a one compatible with Android...until now, with the new YouTube changes.

Therefore, user agent patch could become the next to be implemented.
