That uses the experiemental of the color management protocol. Now that the protocol is stable, it will be exposed by default. And hopefully we shouldn’t need to install additional software, set environmental variables, or pass command line flags.
Maybe it hasn’t been fully implemented yet but when I play HDR videos in MPV right now it is still not working. But running that command works as expected.
It means it can play HDR videos in Wayland environments that support the protocol (Gnome, Plasma) among other color improvements this protocol brings.
Couldn’t you already do this using the command below? (Under “video”)

So no more dark and dull looking videos?
You still need a HDR-capable screen.
Mmh, okay. So I’ll continue re-downloading videos in non-HDR variants. But good to see it implemented, though.
