Please help with HDR playback [Solved]
« on: February 15, 2020, 08:09:26 pm »

Hi,
I thought I had followed the directions for setting up MediaCenter for HDR playback. When I playback a 4k HDR MKV the image has fine, regularly-spaced, horizontal black lines. If I minimize the video window I see the black lines across the desktop too. When I exit MediaCenter the black lines go away. I don't get this issue with regular movies.

Intel i5-7300HQ
GeForce GTX 1060 3G
Windows 10 Home 1909
JRiver MediaCenter 26.0.22

Does this happen when you play this video with other players (like MPC or VLC)?

Hi,
The stripes don't show up in either MPC-HT or VLC. MPC-HT does not display the HDR content correctly -- it looks flat and washed out (I assume it needs some configuring to work with HDR content.) VLC looks pretty good right out of the box, though.
thanks.

Please try a Google search for HDR JRiver.

Here's an example of what you can find:

It looks like it was a hardware issue. I no longer see the problem after installing a new (8k certified!) HDMI cable.
