I downclocked the 2500K to 3.1 GHz, as I believe that's the all-core frequency for an i5-2400.

Thanks for going to such lengths to tackle this issue!

The problem is that getting 4K, HDR and 3D all seem to require tweaking. I like being able to ask the people that are using the same software as me how to get that software working. Since most of the support given for 4K, HDR and 3D (and all of MC) isn't directly from JRiver anyway I don't see what the problem is.

You either had strong hardware or your did not, and you could choose one mode or the other. For me, it was probably the single biggest factor to stick with MC - you won my loyalty right there.
To be fair, though, the times are changing now. What was an ROHQ powerhouse system at the time of its release or even 2 years ago, is now not able to keep up with the latest video encoding technology, but can still brute force its way through 1080p videos.
2160p and HDR requires more complex and nuanced settings, and ROHQ as a default does not do well. For example, after resetting all my MadVR settings to default, it wouldn't even produce a picture with 2160p HDR. Some tweaking, and thus discussion of it, must be done for functionality. Unless, of course, a third tier of RO is introduced that will work out of the box for those with the right systems. That would be in the spirit of RO, because the formats that exist have once again introduced complexity.

I think an option to have an auto config dependant on video source work behind the scenes would be extremely useful and I would encourage the developers to look at implementing this.
With the introduction of 4K and HDR my library is gradually moving over to the newer formats and therefore this type of feature becomes even more critical to ensure a smooth and complete media player, I know of no other systems that can offer this type of performance, maybe a Lumagen can, but at great expense.

I like tweaking MadVR to get out most out of my hardware ... please never take it away
If you do not officially support tweaking that’s understandable and fine by me (with so many possible hardware combinations it would be nightmare to officially support this) ... but that’s what it’s great about this forum ... if developers don’t officially endorse feature, plenty of folks that got it working are willing to help you out
Thanks to all ppl that help me set up mine ;)

For 4K playback to my experience the standard config for Red October HQ is not adequate any more.
I think it would nice to add two profiles for 2D 4K playback:
- Red October HQ 4K
- Red October HQ 4K HDR
With the current standard setting of Red October HQ you don't get Demo's like "LG Cymatic Jazz HDR10" or "Sony 4K HDR Camp or "ok h265 10bit 62Mbit 59fps LG Chess HDR" running.
For smooth playback they require tweaking the madVR config!!!
