Hi, I installed version 23 and noticed that it is still using a version of madvr that is almost a year outdated. For instance it does not include The next generation upscaling (NGU) which is more efficient than NNEDI (faster at similar quality). Is there some way I can use the latest madvr with jriver 23? I noticed it is store in:
J River\Media Center 23\Plugins\madvr

Can I just replace the madvr folder with the latest version?

Thanks!

Yep.

But be warned, the version of madVR that's shipped with MC has been thoroughly tested and is considered stable, hence why it's seldomly updated to a newer madVR.

Ok, I did it and it works! Note though that we are talking about a year of Madvr optimizations and development. So while the outdated year old version has been thoroughly tested with JRiver, we are still missing out on some benefits of an updated madvr that includes a lot more options as well as more efficient upscaling (NGU). And who knows how many other improvements and optimizations? Are you saying that in an entire year of madvr development that there have not been any other "stable" madvr releases? Maybe its time to start "thoroughly testing" some later versions?

Thanks!

MC23 is still in a very early state, and there are a lot of things we still plan to do. We can't do everything at the same time. We will probably be updating madVR some time soon-ish.

If v23 is in early stages, why wouldn't you include a newer madVR with it? Your users will report any issues anyway.
The one that's included now, has terrible issues with HDR pass-through. So you could say MC23 has issues with HDR pass-through in windows 10.
Replacing the madVR folder is messy and it gets automatically replaced after a while.

I hope you guys consider upgrading madVR without much certification, since testing new versions must be really low in your list of priorities.
