HDR videos not played back correctly in tvOS Photos app.

Photos app on tvOS 26.5 does not play iPhone Dolby vision videos correctly.

All other HDR or Dolby vision content from streaming services like Netflix or Apple TV+ plays correctly and is shown in Dolby Vision on Tv screen.

But not in Photos app.

The same videos are shown in HDR when played back on iPhone 15 pro or 17 pro. But when opened in tvOS photos app they are played back in SDR.

Anyone else experiencing this?
