Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 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? I would have to see all of the settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 That can't be right. When there is fire on screen it's solid red. You can't even see the flames. It does this on 1080p movies too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 I set the MPC-HC as external player. The K-lite let me set MadVR as renderer. It solved the oversaturation issue but I can't figure out how to enable hardware accerleration yet. It plays choppy and not at all in full screen.

Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 I take that back, it's stil a little oversaturated. I think I'm going to contact bestbuy and see whats up. I think it's this TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It sounds like you need to calibrate your tv. The HDR metadata won't override that. Your tv color settings are absolute. You also have to make sure you enable the setting to allow 10bit color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 I installed Embycon on my Kodi app and it plays with no oversaturation. The only problem now is it keeps crashing Kodi every time I try to use Emby. I can't even get anywhere in settings before it crashes. I'm pretty sure now that it's not my TV. What I could get to play looked perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Try PowerDVD. You'll have to pay for it. If that doesn't work, the problem is with your hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Can I use that as an external player for Emby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37071 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 You have to configure the command line arguments for the external player. Did you do that? Emby Theater doesn't know anything about PowerDvd so you have to check PowerDvd documentation to find what command line params are needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Path is all I use, and it works. Try playing your movie directly in the app, first. When playing HDR you should get a notification. Edited January 30, 2018 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 I can play videos with it direct but when I play them in emby PowerDVD just opens with the home screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenwalters 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 The same screen you get when you open the app by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Did it play, correctly? Â And someone else just had that issue. I believe it was a permissions issue. I'll see if I can find the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenwalters 1 Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 it looks like windows 10 is the problem. This is the latest update January 3, 2018—KB4056892 (OS Build 16299.192) It actually made it worse. Much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenwalters 1 Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'm going to try Ubuntu this weekend. Do you think this will be a good idea? Does Emby work well with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
