Research direction

Start by reproducing the same timestamp with the embedded player and external mpv, comparing the reported overexposure across HDR and non-HDR streams. Done means the embedded playback output matches external mpv for the tested streams; the issue names no files or tests to inspect.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Image

screenshot above shown from "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", a 4K stream without HDR. I went to the same timestamp both on mpv (shown on top) and stremio (shown below). As shown the embedded mpv player within stremio seems to be overexposed in some way.

This also occurs on the rewrite GTK4 branch. Happens regardless of stream I use, I tried HDR streams (which would play in SDR anyway), tried streams without HDR advertised in any way, etc etc, and all exhibited this problem
