Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 For HDR it uses PQ. The display isn't switched. In my testing, I've it working exactly like it does when the display is switched. What GPU do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Nice! Ok, in theater, did you try CUDA? And here's some info on HDR in mpv https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/53211-emby-theatre-support-for-evc/page-7&do=findComment&comment=521624 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Yes. I tried all the settings. Ended up leaving it on auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Can you play something in theater that is oversaturated, pull up the stats and take a screenshot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Ok, that's HDR. So it's playing, correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 OK. weird though. The HDR isn't popping up in the corner of the screen when the video starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Can you see the oversaturation? White lights look red or blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Maybe it's an issue between the player and display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 As I said. It uses PQ. It isn't sending the HDR metadata to your tv. Did you take a look at the link that I posted? I may need to make new thread to explain how mpv works. It might help with some confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Now I see why Plex did the same thing. It uses MPV as well. I'm just going to work on getting MPC set up. MPV sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37046 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Well actually it doesn't. I'm sorry that on your system it's having an issue, but it otherwise has been a great choice for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 I realize it may work well for most but I've spent a lot of time and money trying to get this working only to find out it was the video player. I wish I would have known that to start with. Maybe it's just an issue with the OLED display an this player. Maybe something to look into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 You're probably in the MadVR camp. Using MPC with MadVR, as an external player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Actualluy the K-lite standard codec pack has MadVR built into it as well. I like the K-lite because it works right out of the box without having to do a bunch of stuff to get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37046 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hi, we're sorry about your playback issue. have you tried setting up an external player with mpchc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Not yet. I downloaded it and used it to direct play E.T. and it had no oversaturation and no stutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 I don't know if it matters but it keeps forcing my refresh rate to 23hz. My TV is 120hz. It should at least let me run it at 60hz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Be aware, MPC will by default convert from HDR to SDR. You'll want to add MadVR as your renderer. It'll take some configuration to get to where you want. You can't use D3D11 as that will convert from 10bit to 8bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 I don't know why I didn't try this before but it is something between my TV and the player. I played E.T. from the server on my PC and it has no oversaturation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 When I went through the K-lite set up it had HDR10 box checked. Will it still go to SDR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I think you may not be understanding what HDR is. The oversaturation you refer to, is HDR. It's a brighter, more vibrant picture. It's an augmentation of the color and light. It's intended to be that way. When I compare the picture in mpv to PowerDVD, which switches my display and forwards the metadata to my display, the picture is same. Your tv needs to be correctly configured and calibrated, to properly use HDR. It isn't plug n play. The purpose of using PQ is to limit the amount of configuration that is needed when passing the HDR metadata to your display. If you're still intent on using MPC with MadVR, I can help.
