YouTube HDR... finally
YouTube HDR content is finally available!
You will find a playlist here. However, these clips will be played as SDR on Sonys for now.
With youtube-dl you can find vp9.2 encodings for those clips:
330 webm 256x144 144p60 156k , vp9.2, 60fps, video only, 2.38MiB 331 webm 426x240 240p60 256k , vp9.2, 60fps, video only, 3.87MiB 332 webm 640x360 360p60 485k , vp9.2, 60fps, video only, 7.35MiB 333 webm 854x480 480p60 909k , vp9.2, 60fps, video only, 13.83MiB 334 webm 1280x720 720p60 1991k , vp9.2, 60fps, video only, 28.18MiB 335 webm 1920x1080 1080p60 3201k , vp9.2, 60fps, video only, 49.70MiB 336 webm 2560x1440 1440p60 11166k , vp9.2, 60fps, video only, 170.23MiB 337 webm 3840x2160 2160p60 20122k , vp9.2, 60fps, video only, 335.45MiB
Those are webm however which the native Video app won't play.
We will see whether we will get support for it soon, even for the early 2016 models with the old MediaTek SoC from last year. At least Sony promised that back at CES:
Spoiler
YouTube will also start streaming in HDR quality later this year, using a new VP9-Profile 2 codec that brings HDR support to Google’s VP9 video format. Sony’s Motoi Kawamura, Head of TV Product Planning for Sony Europe, confirmed to FlatpanelsHD that the 2016 models will support VP9-Profile 2 and be capable of streaming YouTube in HDR. We saw a demo at CES and it looked very good.

Is there any possibility to watch YouTube in HDR at the XD-series from early 2016? Smart YouTube crashes when I choose HDR and the native app doesn't show HDR. In my case a 65xd8505.

Not possible. XD85 has no VP9.2 decoder.
