Description

When using Moonlight on Nvidia Shield if you turn on HDR the resolution seems to change to some unsupported mode causing my TV to claim there is no longer any signal on the HDMI. If I use my remote to go back, the stream ends and I can see video again.

If HDR is turned off it works. If I disable HEVC streaming works again but HDR does not. The stream works with HDR off normally.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. First reproduce the stream on an Nvidia Shield with HDR enabled, then compare behavior with HEVC and HDR disabled; done means HDR streaming preserves a supported resolution and the TV keeps its HDMI signal.
