JimH:
OK.  Do you want to propose specific settings?

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!!!

Demo are not really real reflection on what consumer will get ... 60fps 2160p ... unlikely

My guess ... at most TV will go 2160i ... Blu-ray 2160p24 ... for those RO works just fine for
casual user

There are 1,000s of possible madVR setting combinations and it is all a bit of a (dark) art form.  Many users have a pretty good range of settings that work well, so how about a system which allows users to load/share/try various madVR configurations without having to delve into the actual settings themselves?

You could have something like the old Plug-Ins area where users could Upload their settings with a description that others could download and try, or if that is too hard simply a thread?  You could after a bit even have a few generic pre-done ones like:
- MC Default (as it is now)
- High End Graphics Cards (eg nvidia 1080)
- Intel iGPU
- etc

It would be nice, simple, and importantly, user maintained.  JRiver would just need to provide the mechanism for the Upload/Download of the madVR settings.bin and the ability for users to discuss them.

Thanks for you last post, Nathan. I had given up and never saw it. On a whim, I gave it another shot. Success!

I had messed with MadVr to the point where the setting interface would just crash after a few seconds and disappear. I was managing with ROstd. I uninstalled and reinstalled MC24, and restored my library and settings, which changed nothing of course, 'cos it restored MadVR settings too.

I uninstalled an "external" version of MadVR I had downloaded, and reset everything to default settings using the batch file that is in the MC plugins MadVR folder. I then deleted the whole MadVR folder and let MC reinstall it upon first video playback. I tweaked a very few things, such as telling MadVR to what kind of device my TV was. What do you know? It works perfectly out of the box on default settings! 4K UHD HDR running with nary a dropped frame - only on skipping forward or backward for a second or two.
