Native HDR support

[realFPS]

What I am requesting is playing HDR video properly on a HDR screen not HDR tone mapped as SDR.

Just buy a Pixel 8 Pro and use androidvk branch.

This is a good question because I barely have any idea about this.

In Android 8 support was added for "wide gamut", in practice that means DCI-P3 and it works on OpenGL/Vulkan too. But this is probably not what most people mean when they say "HDR".

According to Google's documentation for HDR playback, HDR video only works through a SurfaceView. This would suggest that it already works today if you use vo=mediacodec_embed.

What @Andarwinux mentioned is Vulkan support for HDR colorspaces. This sounds like it could be useful for mpv though I don't know if it's already supported or other platform specific support code is needed (HDR metadata???).
@haasn would know, if he has time to reply here.

libplacebo already natively supports vulkan HDR when available (that's how we do HDR on windows, as well)
