Disney Plus gets stuck in HDR10

I have a Roku 4801 and an HDR projector. I have the "always show HDR" option set to no. In Amazon prime it works correctly. When I watch an HDR movie it switches to HDR. And when I stop the movie it switches back to SDR. 

But on Disney Plus it does not work that way. If I play thr Mandalorian it switches to HDR. But when I stop the Mandalorian it doesn't switch back to SDR. It gets stuck in HDR. I end up having to reboot the Roku to fix it (or I can toggle the always show hdr to yes and then back to no again, but it's easier to just reboot it). 

 

Has anyone seen this behavior?

Re: Disney Plus gets stuck in HDR10

Thanks, I tried that but it didn't help. Then I tried removing my Denon receiver from the HDMI chain and that fixed it.  I don't know why the Denon is affecting only Disney Plus when it comes to HDR/SDR switching, but I'll play with settings on the Denon to see if I can alleviate the problem.
