Major points that have been discussed before:
- Profiles are still a consideration, although with the simplified options and general efficiency, it feels like its less mandatory. Happy to take opinions and use-cases on that to influence the design of the solution here.
- Projector-specific improvements? I'm not a projector owner, so if you are one of those, some detailed requirements would be nice.
- Anything we entirely missed so far?
Let us know, so we can plan ahead for the next bigger features we work on.
Please note, this is specifically about JRVR, that is video rendering only. General playback issues should be adressed in their own threads.

Hi,
Still voting for cropping/automatic shift of the image to upper/lower screen area. I often switch to ROHQ because Manual shifting sucks from time to time…
Sorry, don‘t understand why this essential feature is not on prio list.

I'm not sure what you mean with shift to upper/lower screen area? I assume you mean detecting black bars and cropping them off so the image can expand naturally? I wouldn't call that shifting, but anyway, lets go with that.
I've talked about this feature before, and that we will not do real-time black bar detection, because it costs way too much performance and is incompatible with hardware decoding.
Instead, what is strictly speaking already possible today, a potential "video analysis" might pre-fill the data that applies cropping. We don't have that video analysis process yet, but jmone's SoT tool can do black bar cropping detection, I don't think it writes it into the right field in the right format to automatically apply cropping during video playback though, but maybe you can convince him to look into that.
Its likely that we'll have such a process ourselves eventually, but it won't be very soon.
Otherwise, the feature is only "essential" for a very narrow and specific kind of setup. The vast majority of video playback setups are natively 16:9, and those won't benefit from this.
Since I asked for opinions on upcoming features, and specifically also projector-specific improvements from someone that actually runs one and can tell me what they are missing, this is the first time it has come up, as well.
In general, I do not have a projector, therefor no experience running one to really draw from when it comes to these features. So please actually describe the feature you are looking for, as some keywords may explain it to you, but don't necessarily give me the right information to what you are looking for. When we started JRVR development, some projector owners roughly mentioned some features like anamorphic lenses, but those requests seem to have disappeared now that we are further in the development where we could actually work on those, and I put out the question here again to give me the details of what you want/need it to do.

I am a projector user and I have mentioned Enhancement options like madvr has. I use an Anamorphic lens (Isco IIIL) on a Cineslide which moves the lens out for 4:3, 16:9 and 1:85, so anamorphic stretch would be nice. Also Anamorphic corection like on the big Envy, if that was available JRVR would be the only "other" video renderer in the world that could do that.
There are a few other things that would be nice but I dont want to push my luck ;)

I'm all ears! If you let me know what field / format you want I'll happily change SoT to assist.
Edit: Can we take the request to the SOT thread so not to pollute this one? https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,106802.0.html

I thought I had posted what (I thought) was required earlier -> https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,131214.msg909817.html#msg909817
Aren't we talking about the same thing here? There was also a performance problem I found during that testing, has that been fixed now? comments around that (repeatable) performance problem are in the other thread nearby https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,130905.msg911868.html#msg911868
I didn't realise I needed to repost this to ask for it again so are the requirements (for anamorphic lens users) clear now or not?
