A profile can be based on a custom field which you update manually to remember your preference for one or the other config.

And how would I manually activate these on the fly from my ipad say if 1 = SOFT and 2 = SHARP when we dont have key stroke numbers to operate them?

mattkhan:
until such commands are implemented, you don't

however the point is to choose automatically, basically it's analogous to tags in madvr filenames. The assumption here is that your preferences are stable over time, if they're not then that's obviously that's never going to work

Just chatting to Murray on the phone. 

What would work well (for him) is to have say 3 JRVR profiles setup (call them 1.Soft, 2.Med, 3.Sharp... whatever).  As the movie is playing use a keyboard shortcut (say 1, 2, 3) or a remote control to go between the profiles.  When you have the one you like just press stop and have the last selection stored in "Playback Info" (or wherever) for next time.  Sort of like we can do with all the other "playback info" preferences such as subtitle selection. 

I've also discussed helping him setup a custom field and manually tagging, and it would work but the ability to quickly switch between profiles to compare what one you like is slow so it's hard to do a quick A/B/C comparison.  I don't think there is any existing meta data that could be reliably do what he wants as the "quality of the transfer" of some of these older releases various enormously regardless of the existing meta data from the pressing.

mattkhan:
I would think you have to use a custom field which you update manually or you have to be able to store a user selected profile as part of playback info. The ability to do the former exists now so seems the obvious way forward to me.  This is independent of whether there is a keyboard toggle of course, it's just about remembering your preferences.
