HDR to SDR tone mapping
Stremio Version All
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Many movies (especially 4K) feature HDR and do not look good on SDR screens/devices with poor HDR-support.
Describe the solution you'd like An option in the menu (like with framerate matching) to convert HDR to SDR. There could be additional parameters to configure such as the target display's nits.
Describe alternatives you've considered One can try to watch an SDR version

i feel like this is outside the scope of our project, there are usually many sources to choose from and the user should choose the source that matches the device's capabilities
tone-mapping is not a correction that leads to realistic colors, it is an approximate correction, this means that the colors from tone-mapping are not the intended colors of the video creator, it is a "close enough" workaround so the colors do not look washed out (as the hdr or dolby vision layer is not processed at all), for the correct colors the user should choose a source that is not hdr / dovi..
