They need to fix the HDR metadata issue one of these days. Those of us that do other things besides watch movies really could use a fixed updated driver. And those poor (after spending the kind of money they did ) RTX 20x0 owners can't really use older drivers anyway. I have not checked the latest driver to see if the metadata has been fixed. Anyone have time to do so?

I think Manni is the only one with the means to test it. Too bad Nvidia doesn't care about HTPC users whatsoever...

We're certainly not a priority for them, no. Hopefully Manni will get a minute to check. I'm not super hopeful given that it's been broken for quite some time now.

Madshi has reported the issue to his contact at nVidia, so I'm hoping it will get fixed at some point. I'll try to test the latest version later today and I'll report back. I had recently reverted to 385.28 because of this, as I needed to run some tests in passthrough and the recent drivers are not usable for this. It should be a priority for them!

Chances for non-criticial things like that to get fixed are higher in a new major driver branch then a point release. But who knows.
I still think it could help to actually tell the OS about the metadata instead of hoping the driver just ignores the OS.

If I had a device to test this, I would try to proof my idea with some code, but alas I do not, so..

Tell Jim to expense you one. LMAO I would be very curious what the results of such a test show cause I have a feeling you could be right. I think nVidia changed this back when Windows added support for HDR. Things haven't been quite right since.

Okay I tested 419.35, and either there is a bug in the latest madVR build, or the new driver is even worse. It's not that it passes bogus metadata, it doesn't switch to HDR anymore

The OSD reports NV HDR and HDR passthrough, but the GPU isn't sending HDR, so no HDR metadata reported at all...

Back to 385.28, though I might try 397.31 to see one more time if I can get better 3D and most of everything else, but last time I tried I had to go back to 385.28 anyway.

@Manni Did you have madVR set to 8-bit or 10-bit/auto? With 8-bit it doesn't switch using newer drivers.

I had to restart after installing the new drivers but HDR passthrough works the same in 419.35 for me. madVR needs to send 10 bit to the driver (on startup, if I change to 8 bit while playing HDR stays active) but I don't need FSE to activate HDR on my LG C7 OLED. I cannot see what metadata is actually being sent to the TV but HDR does activate.

Edit: This is using standard v0.92.17, not any of the new HDR test builds.

Ah OK, yes I was using 8bits because there is a bug in RGB 12bits with my JVC rs2000, it forces YCC422 internally and messes up levels...

I'll try again with 12bits and will report back.

Here I do need FSE to enable HDR (with nVidia CP set to 12bits and madVR set to 10bits or +), which I didn't need with former drivers (even recent), so that's a step back.

And sadly the metadata is still bogus

Of course it is. I suspect nev is correct in that 1) we won't see this fixed until another major branch and/or 2) the way it is supposed to work has changed and the code needs to be updated to reflect that.

I was not expecting it to be fixed.

I was not expecting it to be worse than in 419.17 though, as that version didn't need FSE. That was a disappointment.

Anyway, back to an older driver.

I'll test again at the next major branch change.

As far as I can tell, that should be the 421 branch ready for Windows 10 19H1 (presumably in April)

OK thanks, I'll try that then. I'm back to 397.31 for now, as that's the first release with better 3D that doesn't need CRU to get custom refresh rates working in 12bits. Fingers crossed I won't have to go back to 385.28 and lose the better 3D...

Sadly no custom refresh rates in 12bits with 397.31, so back to 385.28, at least while I need to do tests with HDR passthrough.

Unfortunately I can't transpose my madVR custom refresh rates into CRU with the RS2000, for some reason they don't work, I think because the front porch parameter is limited to 1023 in CRU and madVR comes up with 1276, so CRU isn't an option. It used to work fine with the rs500.

Updating my excel nVidia bug tracking Excel spreadsheet, does anyone know with which driver version (even roughly) this started?

Thanks!
