JRVR Profile Selection
jmone:
Lets say, I've 3 broad different types in my collection. They are all BD's, so the meta data is the same or similar but as any example they are represented by:
- Avatar: Modern pristine, I want to use my std settings
- Oklahoma: Old, but an exquisite 80mm transfer. Want to add some sharpening to it however.
- Monty Python: Old, poor transfer, lots of noise, looks like it was shot on my dad's Super8... don't want to add sharpening
Happy to setup 3 different JRVR Profiles, but would like to dynamically rotate through them to see which one works best as each movie plays and then pick the one I'd like to apply.

Bingo this is exactly the way I would like to see things work! Not sure why it would be hard to implement....
mattkhan:
for me, fitting that into profiles sounds painful (due to the combination of automated rules with manual overrides & the potential for needing many profiles to capture various differences) & storing that in internal format in "playback info" also sounds unpleasant (in terms of extracting that info to show what is selected).
It seems more like a tag per setting that can be used to override the active profile for that value only to me. This would be much more straightforward to interact with & understand imv (even if I think that option was already ruled out in an earlier post)
jmone:
Note sure. PlaybackInfo overrides. If there is nothing explicitly set then you get the defaults during playback. Eg, If say I select a particular SubTitle track then that is stored in PlaybackInfo and that always gets used unless it is removed or a new override is set. Same could be done with JRVR Profiles. I'm not suggesting that all the JRVR settings are stored, just the Profile name (or number). So the logic would be in order of priority in selecting a JRVR Profile,
- PlaybackInfo, else
- JRVR Profile Rules, else
- Default.
So, it really is just adding an PlaybackInfo entry for what JRVR profile to use.
mattkhan:
re playback info, my point is it is a basically unparseable internal format (the raw format MC uses to store settings) so, to show what is currently active on an external remote, you need a way to extract info about individual fields & there's no realistic way to manipulate this externally (i.e. you can only do this via the UI) or even easily search your library.
