JRVR, or JRiver Video Renderer, is our new in-house cross-platform video renderer, being developed as part of MC28, and on-going development in MC29.
In this thread, we'll discuss the current status, future plans, and announce upcoming changes.
For general information and feedback, see the announcement thread:
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,130657.0.htmlWe'll keep this thread up-to-date as well as announce upcoming changes here, so you can keep an eye on the status of JRVR!
StatusNot all features are available, and everything is still subject to change as we develop it further. However, it is already in a quite usable state, and we encourage testing and reporting the experiences.
JRVR is available on Windows, Linux and Mac. On Linux and Mac it is already the default renderer, on Windows you can opt into using it in Options -> Video -> Video Mode: Red October JRVR
Available Features:
- High Quality Upscaling/Downscaling
- Various scaling algorithms can be selected through the settings
- Linear Light or Sigmoidal Light scaling for the highest quality
- Advanced Scaling filters (image doubling)
- SuperRes enhancement (post-processing to remove the artifacts from upscaling)
- Accurate color processing
- HDR to SDR tonemapping, for HDR10 and HLG
- HDR Passthrough
- High bitdepth processing, and dithering to the final output bitdepth
- Subtitle support, with color correction
- DVD and Blu-ray Menu support (Windows only)
- Hardware Decoding integration (Windows only)
- Playback of Rotated videos
- Color calibration through ICC profiles, and 3DLUTs
- Image post-processing options
- Debanding
JRVR is designed as a cross-platform video renderer, which means that we aim to offer as many features as possible to all supported platforms.
However, JRVR is only the video renderer, and more work is required to add missing features to the video ecosystem on Linux and Mac, so not all features will immediately be available everywhere - but with JRVR we're laying a foundation to enable us to add these features in the future.
PlansUpcoming Features:
- Hardware Decoding integration for Linux and Mac
We are of course also open to hearing about suggestions for other features, as long as they fit into the scope and design of JRVR.
The goal is to provide a curated selection of high-quality video features, while keeping JRVR easy to use ("It just works!"), as well as keeping the core functionality efficient to enable playback on slower hardware.

We welcome discussions on upcoming changes and our plans!
