HDR Video in VLC

General Help
1

Trying to play some HDR content on VLC and get the classic washed-out, dimmed look of a video player not displaying the content at HDR levels - tried all three major HDR formats, DV, HDR10 and HDR10+. I'm on a Zephyrus G16 with an RX 6800s and the offical AMD drivers so hoped it'd work.

I've got the naive attutide that it worked on windows so hoped it'd work here! :confused:

Is there something i've missed or is Zorin unable to play HDR content?

Gnome offers HDR support only from gnome 48 onwards and Zorin 17 uses gnome 43 version.

Is it only VLC showing this washed out look?

I recall a while back a similar issue; washed out colors - only it turned it to be a simple setting in VLC. I cannot remember the details off hand...
