Nvidia shiled tv display settings not showing hdr detected

ive plugged in my NVidia shield tv device into HDMI 3 which is one of the faster HDMI ports on my 65 xe9305 and also configured the port on the tv to 4k enhanced but my shield still doesn't see tro be detecting the display capability of the tv as 4k hdr it recommends and sees the tv as ( display properties ) 3840 x2160 59.940 hz YUV 420 10 bit rec 2020. I tested by playing some 4k hdr test videos using kodi but its not triggering hdr mode on the tv. the same content when played fron a usb storage device I plug it into the tv plays and triggers hdr mode which can be seen in the action/ display menu and it looks awesome. only thing I can think off is to try a different HDMI cable is there anything else I should look at and try/ test??

this is the maximum the port can support as hdmi 2.0. If Kodi doesn't trigger HDR it could be a problem of the app, try another service such as YouTube...

according to the manual the ports support 4K at 60Hz

ive ruled the app out because playing the test content with other apps like vlc on the NVidia shield tv also dont get detected by the tv as HDR. playing the content using the Sony's built in apps work correctly ant detects and triggers hdr mode.

the issue seems to be between the tv and the nvidea shield. for some reason the tv's/ HDMI's capabilities are not detected correctly by the Nvidea shield I'm going to try another HDMI cable to see if its a comms problem between the tv and the shield's HDMI ports. ive attached a phot here to show what the dispthis is what it should look like if detected correctlylay settings on a shield should look like if it correctly detects te TV's display capabilities

ok ive managed to resolve this.

apparently the formats shown in the screenshot which I posted only show if running sw version 18.1 which iswhy the newest devices see those listed older models like mine wont show them w till s/w version 18.1 is rolled out to the older devices. that will happen once all the bugs in in 18 have been sorted out.

Another thing worth mentioning to those who have nvidea shields connected to thier xe 93's. theamazon hdr content was dark despite it being flagged and detected as hdr once i set the hdmi port settings to enhanced 4k to get the content to trigger hdr mode and I then had to turn the hdr video range setting to full from auto in order to get a brighter image.
