VLC HDR saturation

Ubuntu 20.04 Wayland

ffprobe $IN 2>&1 | grep "Stream #0:0"
Stream #0:0: Video: hevc (Main 10), yuv420p10le(tv, bt2020nc/bt2020/smpte2084), 3840x2160 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 1k tbn, 23.98 tbc (default)

Testing other players;

  • No decoder
    • gst-play-1.0
  • low saturation
    • VLC (out=X11)
    • ffplay -loglevel 16
  • OK
    • MPV
    • SMPlayer (renders in separate window)

How to get VLC to show the correct saturation for HDR content?
