HDR hangs Chrome

FOlavo — Thu, 05 Mar 2020 14:59:50 GMT

Hi,

It seems 4k has been enabled in my Chrome browser today. This is working perfectly but when I try with HDR enabled the browser just hangs.

I am have a recent Dell XPS 13 (7390) with intel 10th generation with integrated graphics (Win64)

Will be glad to help debugging this issue.

Regards,

-Francisco

Do you have HDR enabled in Windows? Latest Chrome updates installed? Latest graphics drivers installed?

Is it confirmed HDR is even supposed to be supported in Chrome? I haven't tried it on any of my PCs/Displays that support HDR yet myself.

Do you have HDR enabled in Windows? Yes. When I enable it in Window, this is when the browser starts crashing.

Latest Chrome updates installed? Yes.

Latest graphics drivers installed? I have latest drivers for Dell - which are not necessarily intel's latest. note: intel doesn't allow me try install their latest - I've tried

UPDATE: When streaming the Stadia 4k, in Task Manager in the GPU tab, I have around 20% 3D and 30% Video Decode. When trying 4k HDR Video Decode becomes 0% and 3D 98%. This makes me think that somehow the GPU is not using it's internal decoder properly for the 4k HDR stream

Having the same issue, ever found a solution? I have an HP Spectre X360 with an Intel Core i7-1065G7. It has iris plus graphics which should be able to decode HDR at 4K (VP9 10 bit). My drivers are a little behind but I need HP approved ones and they are behind a little. I basically see what you are seeing. High GPU usage. Looks like the hardware decoding isn't working...
