Title: New functionalities ... to come in MC 19 ?
Post by: Adhara on September 10, 2013, 02:26:34 pm
Hi,

I didn't see any dedicated topic for the MC features desired by end-users.
So I start with some ideas (most of them were asked on the previous version).

- Qobuz plugin.
- Scraper for FR,DE,ES languages for TV/movies informations and jackets.
- An Automatic Color Management System (CMS) used to calibrate the color of the display (need a third party software like chromapure (http://www.chromapure.com/) + a colorimeter).
A partnership with Chromapure might make sense ...
- An advanced video setup menu. Look at what Lumagen offers (p12 of this link http://www.lumagen.com/docs/Radiance_2021_Manual_031413.pdf (http://www.lumagen.com/docs/Radiance_2021_Manual_031413.pdf)).
In resolution --> Out resolution / CMS / Madvr / ...

Regards.

There is a large topic here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=82006.0 (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=82006.0)

- Qobuz plugin.
Rather than a plugin, I think people have the Qobuz application playing through Media Center with the new ASIO input driver.

There is work being done for automated calibration in madVR via ArgyllCMS. As Media Center uses madVR for video playback with the Red October HQ setting, you will be able to take advantage of this. There's a large topic with details on this over at AVS Forum: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1471169/madvr-argyllcms/0_100 (http://www.avsforum.com/t/1471169/madvr-argyllcms/0_100).
It can be quite technical though, so you may wish to wait until it has been made more user-friendly. I am hoping that there will be CalMAN integration, as that's the package I use for display calibration.

- An advanced video setup menu. Look at what Lumagen offers (p12 of this link http://www.lumagen.com/docs/Radiance_2021_Manual_031413.pdf (http://www.lumagen.com/docs/Radiance_2021_Manual_031413.pdf)).
In resolution --> Out resolution
madVR has an advanced display switcher built in. I strongly recommend that you let madVR scale images to your display's native resolution (which it will do by default) rather than anything else.

There are details about this in my guide, which can be found here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=80253.0 (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=80253.0)
