Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reproducing the HDR stream on the Nvidia Shield with Windows 11 at 1440p or 1080p, then compare it with 4K and review the Android video-rendering path and available logs. Done means lower-than-4K HDR streaming is no longer greyed out, overbright, or intermittently blinking.
