The one that works in FSE is activated by a down or up arrow and provides access to titles, chapters, subtitles, size, position, and other settings. The windowed mode OSD you bring up by right clicking contains a few more options for aspect ratio and cropping. I use FSE on two computers and have found the FSE compatible OSD to be suitable 99% of the time. Your statements sound like you can't use an OSD at all with JRiver in FSE without being kicked out of FSE and into Windowed Mode and that isn't true.

I was just about to write this too.
Thanks, 6233638, for the very useful write-up!

Oh, that's true - I was really referring to the mouse-based interface, which is the right-click menu and the playback controls you get when you hover over the top of the video.

This thread should be a "Sticky".

Having just spent several hours troubleshooting a display problem I agree
--- Quote ---The defaults may be acceptable for some, but with just 5 minutes extra doing some settings (with a small guide at hand), you can get so much more out of it.

yes, huge thanks to 6233638
--- Quote ---Granted, madVR would be much easier to configure if the config could be invoked from a button in the MC config screen, sadly madVR doesn't allow this yet.
--- End quote ---
I agree, it is non intuitive to only access the controls only while the video is playing. The madvr symbol in the notification area can be useful at times.
--- Quote ---If JRiver wanted to go all out, you could even make a small wizard that set all this up, not only madVR but also the other audio/video related settings, it would really make it a lot easier for beginners to get the best out of their system.

fantastic,yes please

I just spent several hours trying to figure out how to use the custom settings in an effort to solve my video display problem. The "simple" options didnt solve the problem. If a wizard is created it can, and perhaps should, have an "advanced button" for these types of things. Whatever the case advanced "custom" settings there should be more guidance than just "create rules" IMHO.I get that this area is not for idiots like me,but as idiots do, we venture there anyway ;D
Anyway thanks to all especially 6233638 for this guide and other contributors.
