[Bug] Turns off HDR when starting video #11

When you start a video when this is installed, windows HDR turns off. Ideally this wouldn't happen.

Have you tried the rtx-1.2 build at https://github.com/emoose/VideoRenderer/issues/5#issuecomment-1452590217 ? That seems to help some others with HDR issues, maybe can help with this too.

1.2 Still automatically turns off HDR

And just to make sure, you have "Auto display HDR On/Off: not used" in MPC Video Renderer settings? It should not turn off HDR.

I faced the same question before but now it is solved. As mentioned by Pikkuhippi, the Auto HDR should be set to 'not used'. I am using Potplayer and here is how to change it. potplayer2

~I can't click the three dots button in the first picture, is there something I need to install?~ Oh, it's not opening when the video is playing

I encountered the same issue today with my OLED LG TV. First I had to use modified rtx-1.2 build in order to even make RTX upscale work. After that, this issues popped up. It is actually caused by maximum value under "Subtitle and OSD brightness". The thing is when you execute the reset setting cmd script, the initial values the renderer uses are following: Changing first three options does nothing with respect to HDR being turned off. Only changing the last slider to the smallest or the middle value fixed the issue for me. Or clicking the Default button in the menu. After that HDR stays turned on and SDR content plays normally and looks normally. Upscalling works. I can tell from visually comparison side-byt-side with other player and GPU usage goes up.

So maybe the issue is the rendered app itself? Anyway it would be enough to update FAQ in the release.

I turned off the auto-HDR switching however now it seems that the VSR is not being requested as I do not see it under scaling anymore:

Current settings:

When setting Auto display HDR On/Off to always used:

When setting Auto display HDR On/Off to not used:

Edit: Seems the 1.2 build solved this issue.
