Original Pull Request: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/11014

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Changes

The upstream ffmpeg 6.1 released with a new scale_vt filter which provides support for scaling and tone mapping using VideoToolBox's native method. This PR:

  • Enables hardware scale filter if possible
  • Enables hardware tone mapping is possible

One thing to note is that the VideoToolBox's tone mapping method has to use hard-coded Apple's parameters and does not have any tunable like other filters, but Apple's settings looks good enough to me.

Currently the WebUI does not have the options for enabling Tone Mapping for VideoToolBox, which need to be implemented separately as it does not have the tunable options available to other implementations.
