Streaming service not playing hdr or 4k

I have 4 4k streaming devices, roku ultra 4640x version 11.0.0 build 4184-29

Connected to tcl roku TV 4k hdr10 at 60 fps on hdmi 3  mode standard

roku ultra 4800x Dolby vision and atoms connected to LG 4k Dolby vision and atmos hdmi 3 arc to yamaha a2a

About two weeks ago amazon prime video and hulu stopped showing any hdr or 4k videos only HD  videos

Even with 4k content 

Hbomax , Disney plus and ytube have no issues 

Every device ,the 3 rokus and the LG tv are up to date 

I contacted Amazon 2 today and get the same response we will look into this

I did a year of Amazon prime and think they are catering to people that are on the monthly subscription to keep them and not messing with their content 

But would accept any help in getting this fixed

I have 200 mbps internet and all devices tested 95 mbps or higher have unplug all my internet devices for over an hour, did not fix the issue

Re: Streaming service not playing hdr or 4k

Turn of any free sync options on the display, turn off auto refresh rate, HDR subsampling , if one selected the other, options 4:2:0 or 4:2:2

The hdmi cable that came with the unit is not fast enough for 4k, try a different cable.

Prime video does not like 24hz display.
