HDR10 and Dolby Vision inconsistent in Stremio on TCL 55C655 (Google TV)

Hey everyone, hoping someone can help me figure this out.

  1. Operating system version:
    Android TV 12 (Google TV)

  2. Stremio version:
    1.9.12 (Exo version 1.9.3, VLC version 3.6.5)

  3. Device name and model:
    TCL 55C655 (55", QLED, Google TV)

  4. Steps to reproduce:
    Open any movie in Stremio and select a stream labeled HDR10. Some streams correctly trigger HDR/DV, others play with no HDR at all. It's roughly 50/50 regardless of which addon or stream is selected.

  5. Expected behavior vs actual behavior:**
    Expected: Stream plays in HDR10 or Dolby Vision as indicated by the filename.
    Actual: Many streams play in flat SDR with no HDR signal sent to the TV.

  6. What I've already tried:
    - Switched Decoder Priority between all options — no consistent improvement
    - Tunneled Playback is enabled
    - DV7 HEVC Fallback is enabled
    - Auto Frame Rate set to "On start/stop"
    - Tested the same files in VLC — HDR10 works correctly there, confirming the TV and files are fine

  7. Video:
    I can record a video showing the issue if needed — just let me know.

Also, if any developers are reading this — would love it if this could be looked into. Happy to provide more details or test anything that might help!

Thanks!
