was the material purple-green by chance?

Yeah. I did try playing around with some of the colorspace options you can find googling, but nothing seemed to work.

  That's a Dolby Vision Profile 5 file. A format that's very very proprietary. The only PC apps that can play them at all are https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9p9zh5fl1bfk?hl=en-ms&gl=MS https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9p9zh5fl1bfk?hl=en-ms&gl=M... and https://firecore.com/infuse https://firecore.com/infuse

    Is there a way to use Infuse on PC? The only links I see are to the App Store

      Macs are PC's, you can also make a hackintosh. EDIT2: if you consider an ARM board that you can install custom OS on as a PC – admittedly, bit of a stretch – then you can grab UGOOS AM6B plus / AM6 plus / Minix u22x-j max install CoreELEC on it and enjoy DV. https://github.com/CoreELEC/CoreELEC/releases https://github.com/CoreELEC/CoreELEC/releases https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/dolby-vision-for-minix-u22x-j-max-and-ugoos-am6/24273 https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/dolby-vision-for-minix-u22x...

    You can play it with mpv, it depends on the hardware/drivers. It worked fine on a random Ryzen Lenovo laptop with Linux even though MacOS version of mpv couldn't play it correctly on M2 (even though Apple claims that M2 is compatible with the format).
    - SSLy 2y ago
      And you're sure it was a Profile 5, not 7/8 file?
    - daneel_w 2y ago
      It depends on what format/decoder support went into your particular build of mpv. It offloads almost all of its capabilities onto ffmpeg and its supporting libraries, which in turn won't necessarily be built with exactly everything enabled.

    Infuse is great. I use it to play stuff (in basically any format) from the NAS through the Apple TV on a dumb TV.
  - adrian_b 2y ago
    Nowadays mpv is able to decode it correctly, but it usually requires for that the command-line option "--vo=gpu-next". A couple of years ago, mpv was unable to handle it.
- emestifs 2y ago
  Try this in your mpv.conf file no-config target-trc=pq target-prim=bt.2020 vo=gpu-next Wont be 100% accurate, but hopefully somewhat watchable See also https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/10122 https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/10122

    Still very green/purple. It's fine, I was able to find a non-HDR version.
    - adrian_b 2y ago
      Then you probably have either a very old mpv or one that was compiled without including the "gpu-next" video output driver. Or else the GPU drivers for your GPU card have not been updated for a very long time. A recent mpv and recent GPU drivers should solve this problem, because it was frequently encountered only up to a couple of years ago.

        mpv 0.36.0 from July 2023, nvidia 555.58.02 drivers from August 2024 (Fedora 39).

        I would try updating to 0.37.0 or 0.38.0, IIRC it only started to work for me after I updated to one of those (I always build mpv from the latest commit myself, so I'm not sure which release version exactly has the crucial fixes).
        adrian_b 2y ago
        My output of "mpv --version": mpv 0.38.0 Copyright © 2000-2024 mpv/MPlayer/mplayer2 projects libplacebo version: v6.338.2 FFmpeg version: 6.1.1 I do not remember which was the first version that worked fine. For some time, "gpu-next" was not included by default in the releases, but you had to compile a custom variant to include it. Pay attention that "libplacebo" is required. If libplacebo is absent, then the Dolby Vision conversion will not work. This could be the reason of your problem, if your Linux distribution does not have libplacebo as an automatic dependence of mpv, or if mpv has been compiled without support for libplacebo.
