It would be important to distinguish here if some sort of scaling configuration is still missing, or "just" the ability to set this up on a per-screen basis - if that is even required, which it might not be with the right settings.

madvr applies a custom stretch factor as per https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=124128.0 used in conjunction with its zoom control to deal with black bars. In my case, I have a 1.33x horizontal expansion lens so use a 4/3 stretch factor so the renderer stretches it in one direction then my lens stretches it on the other. Stretch factor has to be configurable because lens can have different ratios and also come in vertical compression form (more common recently with 4k 17:9 panels)
The madvr configuration options are described in more detail in https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=259188&pid=2238958#pid2238958
As far as I understand it, the gaps atm are:
* per client configuration (i.e. in a multi client setup, it's highly likely that only 1 will have a lens)
* custom (stretch) scaling which is user configurable
The user experience gap, which I think can be plugged by @jmone's SOT app, is automated black bar detection
I'll get time to verify the above at some point soon.

Can I request:
1. chapter listings for MKV files. My previous player MPC-BE had this.
2. Overlay of video data to help with debugging and settings (Dropped frames etc)
Hendrik:
As some news for the weekend, HDR pass-through is coming along nicely.
JRVR can already pass-through the HDR signal and the appropriate metadata to the display, even confirmed correct metadata is arriving with the help of a HDFury Arcana.
The only missing piece is toggling HDR mode for those of us that are not running it permanently yet, but hopefully that'll come together for the next build early next week!
One interesting thing I noticed, if you send a HDR signal to Windows without having a HDR display (or HDR mode enabled), it'll actually tonemap it. It does an "OK" job at it, although JRVR tonemapping looks better to me. :)
In combination with this will come the ability to output using 10-bit, which is always used if available for HDR, and I plan to add an advanced option to enable or disable it for SDR, as in the past there were some issues with 10-bit output, so testing it would probably be good.
jmone:
Sounds great!

I split the performance question from whoareyou to here: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,131274.0.html
If you have specific questions on your setup, or bugs, please either use the main announcement thread or just create a new one, so that we can keep this thread to discuss the plans, changes and features.
