Yes, looks like you just select Light/Dark for App mode and it applys it to everything. Not a fan myself tbh.

Hi, I have an issue with videofiles contains:
Format : HEVC
Format/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding
Format profile : Main 10@L4@Main
Codec ID : V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC

The videoplayer stays black, only audio is running.

In this state, I am also unable to see information with Ctrl+J.

What I have found out: other videofiles like
Format : AVC
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile : High 10@L5
are running fine.

So currently I use MPC-HC 18.2.4, LAV Video Decoder 0.72.0.15 and madVR 0.92.17. No Hardware Decoder is used in LAV settings.
When I change MPC-HC to Enhanced Video Renderer, the HEVC files runs fine.
So what I have found out is: the current setting is "chroma upscaling: Bilinear" (done by GPU). When I change this setting to Cubic (custom pixel shader code), the HEVC runs fine with madVR again.

I can change it when the file is currently playing. The video is black -> I change to Cubic -> video is visible -> I change to Billinear -> Black. When I open Ctrl+J during Cubic and change back to Billinear, the image freeze (but audio still playing).

Currently I am able to verify the issue with 2 old laptops, Intel Core i7 620LM with "Intel HD Graphics" and another with Sandy Bridge generation.

I changed on my Desktop PC the setting also to chroma upscaling Billinear, but the files run fine there (980 Ti NVIDIA GPU).

So... the issue is maybe in combination with some (old) Intel GPU, or the madVR settings in whole combination. I would like to share you my madVR settings to veryify the issue, but I can't find the location of the setting file and can't find any export function. Can you tell me?
If there is also some more information missing, just ask.

Which D3D version you using? Try 9 if you're using 11 and the other way around, also try using default settings (use the batch file)

Microsoft have pushed out their semi-annual Windows 10 update (1809) today. Anyone noticed any bugs with MadVR?

If you are talking about general settings -> "use D3D11 for presentation", it doesn't make any difference when I un-/check this option. It stays black.

@morku: try reverting to LAV 0.71, it solved my problem of missing hardware decoding for 4K, as I reported on the LAV thread

@dbcooper: I got upgraded to 1809, no trouble so far

@Morku
Try unchecking Rendering/General Settings/delay playback start until render queue is full.

[Morku]

It is unchecked. It also doesn't make any difference to enable.
Like I said, if you tell me how, I would share you my settings.

Only changing chroma upscaling to one of the custom pixel shader code seems to fix the issue. Also "Nearest Neighbor" let the image stays black.

@mytbyte
Like I said, I am not doing hardware decoding, it's disabled in LAV.

Guys apologies if this is a silly question but with the latest Windows 10 update I can't no longer stream from my server which is located in another room which also runs window 10 via SMB within kodi.. Does anyone know a way around this or is it not reccomended to share via SMB within Kodi? If not then what's the best way to share. Mkv files within kodi Thanks

Did you go through the troubleshooting posted at the DSPlayer forums? There are two important links there and one video that should be followed.

Hi guys,

It seems that I have an issue since I updated W10 and the latest nvidia drivers.

By default my desktop is in SDR and madvr switch automatically to hdr when I watch a movie.

Now, when madvr starts an hdr content, I have "nv hdr" at the top of the osd and the problem is that I do not have the hdr settings enabled on my tv (even if the hdr logo appears at the beginning of the video).

If manually, I activate hdr on W10 before launching madvr with hdr content, then I have "os hdr" on the osd and the hdr settings of my tv are enabled automatically.

Before the updates, i never had these issues and madvr was switching automatically from sdr (desktop)/hdr(video) with the good hdr settings of my tv???

just installed 1809, all "appears" to be working as before but unfortunately its brought back the AMD red colour sat issue in MADVR for me, i'll try reinstall AMD drivers.

What Win10 update? -> 1809?
Latest Nvidia Driver 4xx.xx has HDR issues, Nvidia users switched back to 399.xx.
But I am not a Nvidia user anymore for two years now and I don't regret it.

But to know how newer cards are behaving now 10-2018, I only have an older one, I need to know the following:
Is it temporaily with 4xx.xx Nvidia driver still problematic, when you set your desired Color depth of for example 10 bit (is it now available for RGB and YCbCr? or still 8bit and 12 bit only) and restart system, I remember I had trouble of Driver setting itself back one year back when I tried a 1080Ti Lightning Z.
If they have fixed it the last 12 months, maybe a Nvidia will probably sometime in the future suited for my needs.

[brazen1]

What are the HDR issues with 4xx.xx and why did you switch back to 399.xx?
I altered the latest 411.70 driver to workaround the audio bug today and installed it. What should I look for?
We are aware of no RGB 10bit. I use 8bit so as not to introduce banding so I really don't care.
Yes, you can select only 12bit and let it dither to 10bit but then there is banding.
This setting, as you stated, does not survive a reboot and reverts to 8bit.
8bit seems ideal to me.
If you want the 12bit setting to survive a reboot, you'll need to use 385.28 before the bug was introduced.
So back to the latest driver... What are the HDR issues I should look for? Preliminary testing revealed nothing out of the 3 players I used.

I think the following posts help:

EDIT: Nope....still a broken mess for HDR. How nice. Back to 399 I go.

Maybe this has something to do with it

This driver release supports the Vulkan VK_EXT_swapchain_colorspace and VK_EXT_hdr_metadata extensions allowing applications to output HDR content to HDR displays via the Vulkan APIs.

Tried HDR switch in Windows, it works.

Switching back to 3.99 for now.
