We don't specifiy bitdepth or color subsampling at all. All you tell it is the resolution and refresh rate you want. I don't believe Windows has a setting at all to control the subsampling used. Any further settings are usually hidden in graphics card specific settings somewhere. Maybe you can setup those to specifically handle only those modes you desire.

Hi HPBEME.  Should we pull that mod into the main Purity skin?  It looks like you changed two files: Playerbar_Display and Tree_Background.  Thanks.

Sorry, if you are using the windows display sleep function, then ALL monitors will sleep, including the HDMI going to the Denon. An EDID emulator will never be able to help when that this case. EDID emulators are designed to help when displays are powered OFF using the physical power button, or when the input changes on an AVR/TV.

An EDID emulator should work IF a windows settings/tool/app existed to sleep individual monitors, in a multi-monitor environment. Or if the monitor itself has a sleep function built into the settings menu.

4:4:4 8bit ... is better than 4:2:2 12bit

4:2:2 delivers chroma channel (color channel) at 75% resolution ... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_subsampling

Your 60hz source is max 8bit ... so you are not really losing anything

Pretty sure processing of video is done at high bit depth + dithering  ... before being output at lower bit depth ... just like audio ... so you are better off at 4:4:4 8bit than 4:2:2 12bit

EDIT: if 10 12 bit important to you ... get HDMI 2.1 compatible GPU and TV/Projector ... then you can do 4:4:4 at 10 and 12 bit ... even at 120fps

Thanks for the prompt reply, indeed HDMI 2.1 would be an option - just a clarificarion, the 60hz source file could be indeed 10 bit, not 8 bit (as an example The Gemni Man UHD movie), so with my current setup I am missing some bit depth if I decide to prioritize color space (4:4:4) - I was bringing this up, as several media players (such as my zidoo Z9X) allows for a separate configuration of color space between 24hz and 60hz, thus I though JRiver could implement a similar separate configuration as well.

MC cannot use location coordinates to fill [Country], [City], [State], [Sublocation][/li][/list]

Now it can!  https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,138885.0.html

As I mentioned in my OP, MC's "Disable display from turning off" setting works fine, but I didn't like my displays being lit up all the time I was listening to music and not actively using the computer.

I share your doubts about the EDID emulator, but the first Lindy tech support person I contacted claimed to have run a test later that same day proving it worked in the desired fashion. Another Lindy techie is now taking a closer look at the matter and I hope to get his feedback next week.   

I just tried and it's working for me.  Could your firewall be blocking?

Lyrics search not working in v32 and if i remember not working for me in the last version,
any clue as to why?

This is the latest build of JRiver Media Center 32.  Please post bugs here.  Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion.  Non-bug posts will be deleted.

https://files.jriver-cdn.com/mediacenter/channels/v32/latest/MediaCenter320047.exe (works on all systems)

32.0.47 (5/16/2024)

1. NEW: Added a tree & view option to set the alignment of number columns.

32.0.46 (5/14/2024)

1. NEW: Reverse GeoCoding - populating image location data (country, state, city and sublocation) using GPS coordinates of images.
2. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukáč).
3. Changed: Updated libplacebo in JRVR to the latest version.
4. Changed: Added an error message pop-up when there is server error in Reverse GeoCoding.
5. Fixed: When searching on playlists accents were not handled properly.
6. Fixed: State/Province data might not be loaded properly when doing Reverse GeoCoding, for some locations.
7. Changed: During Reverse GeoCoding, if the GPS coordinates match (or are close enough) to an already processed image, we use the known data, instead of hitting the server again.
8. Changed: "Places" field will contain "Sublocation", in addition to "Country", "State/Province", and "City", when either doing Reverse GeoCoding, or loading from image tags.

32.0.45 (5/8/2024)

1. Changed: Updated the Catalan language (thanks Josep).
2. Fixed: Changing users could incorrectly issue stops to the server zones.

32.0.44 (5/2/2024)

1. Changed: Simplified Slow Motion OSD menu text.
2. NEW: The "Slow Motion Playback" right-click/context menu is enabled for videos played in (non-DirectShow) JRiver Video Engine.
3. Fixed: For videos played in (non-DirectShow) "JRiver Video Engine", slow-motion playback would not work when transitioning from normal rate to slow rate, if VideoClock setting was on.
4. NEW: Add custom file info templates file selection in Theater View Options. Can select any file placed in {Library Directory}\Templates.  Pre-MC32 templates file is automatically copied there for selection.

32.0.43 (4/30/2024)

1. Fixed: VideoClock setting might not be turned back on after it was temporarily turned off due to slow-motion playback, if the user stopped playback while it was in slow-motion.
2. Fixed: Improved rendering of Unicode characters outside of the Basic Multilingual Plane.
3. Fixed: Playing video in slow-motion with mute might not work especially if VideoClock setting was initially on.
4. Fixed: Playing a new video while a video is in muted slow-motion playback might leave the new video muted too.
5. Changed: Video Slow-motion context menu will include muted slow-motion items.
6. Fixed: The Slow-motion OSD might be out of sync with the actual playback speed if the speed was set via context menu.

32.0.42 (4/27/2024)

1. Fixed: Subtitles with JRVR will be stretched properly when using anamorphic rendering.
2. Fixed: Possible crashes starting playback in build 41.

32.0.41 (4/24/2024)

1. Fixed: Theater View file info templates were not handling , as a decimal separator for FPS. (v2.9 of templates file)
2. Fixed: If the VideoClock setting is on, changing from normal playback speed to slow motion speeds might not work initially.
3. Fixed: If playback of a video is stopped or a new file is started while doing slow-motion playback, playback of the next file would be marked as slow-motion, even though the actual playback speed is normal.
4. Changed: Added a note on the direction of the subtitle shift to the video settings dialog.
5. Changed: MCC commands to set the global JRVR profile can be called outside of playback (Output profiles will always refer to the primary display in this case).
6. Fixed: Maximizing some windows like Options could be a problem in the last builds on some displays.

32.0.40 (4/23/2024)

1. Changed: Cancelling the dialog to choose Blu-ray Menu or Title playback will stop playback, rather then choose a default option.
2. Changed: Some MCWS calls default to false for switching into no UI mode (File/GetInfo, Files/Search, Files/GetInfo, etc.).
3. Fixed: Slow motion OSD menu was accidentally enabled for non-video playback types (image, audio, etc.).
4. Fixed: Slow motion via OSD did not try to avoid conflict with VideoClock setting.
5. NEW: Add FPS icons to Theater View file info templates.  Video definition now uses ranges instead of exact heights. (v2.8 of templates file)

I don't think it can ever work, even with the adapter. When Windows puts the display to sleep due to inactivity, the GPU will power down the HDMI link completely which also kills the audio transport. The only way is to disable sleep to keep the link alive, either by using the blank screensaver or with MC's "Disable display from turning off" (which sounds like it isn't working for your hardware).

I believe this was an oversight of the HDMI spec, they didn't anticipate the need for this half-sleep scenario.

The main purpose of the EDID emulator is to tell the GPU that a monitor is indeed connected (even if it's not). This doesn't prevent Windows from shutting down the GPU output for inactivity.
