Title: Switching video renderer conditionally
Post by: jkauff on June 15, 2022, 10:01:27 am

I use madVR as my default video renderer. However, I like how JRVR plays UHD files. I'd like to use an evaluation like "If Dimension=3840x2160 use renderer JRVR, else use renderer madVR". I though Zones might work, but I've had no success so far.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, or is this not possible?

Zone switch works for me.  You would need to play with the logic, but as an example, I made a quick rule that switches to a madVR when Dimensions =/= contain 3840.

Here is some better logic....
- madVR Zone = When Video and Dimensions do not contain 3840
- else use the Default Zone (stops switching to the madVR zone for Audio etc).

Logic looks similar to what I tried with Zone Switch, but I'll try yours.

No luck. The Zone Switch happens, but the movie doesn't display in JRVR. It's running, according to the header, but it's not showing.

Odd - it works for me.  Have you configured one zone to use madVR and the other to use JRVR?

OK, got it working. I had to create two rules, one "Dimensions contains 3840 use JRVR" and the other "Dimensions does not contain 3840 use madVR".

Thanks for your help.
