Guest asrequested Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Are you wanting to use the internal player? What are your intentions/expectations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I may need to make a full guide, complete with attachments, for this. For people who are new to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Luke, it would make things much easier if you included the auto-profiles script with the installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 And just to make it clear, you don't actually need to do anything to play HDR media. It will automatically tone-map. It just doesn't use wide color gamut by default. It will map to bt.709. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwujkiw 2 Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Luke, it would make things much easier if you included the auto-profiles script with the installation. So I'm pretty knowledgeable and not a complete newbie to using programs like this but ideally yes I would love to learn how to use the internal player to do it as I imagine that is the easiest. But if you also have knowledge of how to use an external player to do it that would be helpful too. Maybe let me know the advantages to disadvantages of both.

Normally with HDR content my TV's contrast settings and brightness change within the TV's menu and I know its on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally with HDR content my TV's contrast settings and brightness change within the TV's menu and I know its on. This is where people are getting confused. I imagine because they don't understand what and how HDR actually works. The short answer is no, you just hit play. But if you want to have an output comparative to HDR passthrough, then the answer is more expansive. That is why I made that thread in the testing area. As for standard HDR playback with an external player, there is a guide for that, using MPC-BE and madVR, in the guide section. Just be aware that using an external player it will be used for all videos and not just HDR stuff. The more you want, the more complex the solution. That's why I asked what your expectations were.

I guess this is where I get confused because if I just hit play it doesn't seem to trigger the TV to go into HDR mode where the brightness and contrast typically change on the TV itself. If i enable hdr in windows 10 it does seem to trigger this. Would there be a negative effect of me doing this and using Emby? Sorry if the questions are dumb haha.

Guest asrequested Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Ha! Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. What you're seeing is HDR not being 'triggered' in either circumstance. It's confusing, I know. I don't have time to explain right now, I'm at work. I think I need to make a very long post on the 'how to' and why you're doing what you're doing. And provide all the various components, to allow the different ways of configuration. Then break it all down into sections. I just think it might be tl;dr experience, and people will ask questions, anyway. If you guys could give feedback on what would be helpful to you and what you would like to see in a guide, then I could put it all together.

gwujkiw 2 Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Also is the internal player better then a external one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Also is the internal player better then a external one? That's subjective. The internal player is mpv, and that's my 'go to' player for everything. But many people prefer madVR. For ease of use, mpv definitely is much better. I've just learned to make it do a lot of different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 He'll need the auto-profiles script to be able to use that. I think that may add to the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 @lorac, just a quick heads up. This line af=lavcac3enc=yes:640:2 will convert all non-bitstreamed audio to AC3. Music, too. You may want to experiment with that and see if you like it. I prefer my audio like that because of my particular audio setup, but it may not suit everyone's taste.
