Where is that option? In Kodi or MadVr?

This is the first Time i use Kodi + DSPlayer + madVR .... but there are some Problems i cant fix.

1. everytime i start a movie -> first 5-8 seconds movie hangs/stutter -> after that -> smooth playback (no dropped frames) ... is this "normal" ( Delay madVR playback until render queue is full is "on", Fullscreen exclusive mode is "on")

2. first time a embedded Subtitle is showing -> Video "hangs" for 0,5 - 1 second

3. madVR Statics show "10Bit" Ouput ... but my AV-Reciever says (Input 36bit -> 12bit) ... is this a Problem/Normal ?

My Setup:
Windows 10 (1803), Geforce 1030 (397.93), Kodi + DSPlayer (17.6), madVR (0.92.14), Pioneer SC-LX502 (AV-Receiver), LG 65C8L (TV)

... Thanks

Tried that and now the drops are shorter but they are happening more often.   I'll keep messing around with settings.

 Some of these problems come down to your GT 1030 only having 2 GB of VRAM. It is running out of RAM causing madVR to hang.

1. Some dropped frames are normal and this can be worse with DSPlayer, but your GT 1030 is running out of RAM as madVR is trying to fill the queues.

2. Same as above. The subtitle uses even more memory. Try checking the trade quality for performance checkbox related to subtitles.

3. If you set the GPU to 12-bit, then your receiver is receiving 12-bit, not 10-bit. 12-bits x 3 (RxGxB) = 36 bits. madVR doesn't know what is being sent by the GPU.

To reduce the amount of memory used by madVR, reduce the size of the CPU, GPU and present queues. You will still likely have a little stuttering here and there until things get going, but it should improve.

Generally, 4GB of VRAM is a safe amount of memory for normal queue sizes at all 4K resolutions. This is only a rule with madVR, of course.

DVDFab Player is also out there for automatic HDR and SDR switching. This player can be launched from Kodi as an external player.

Thanks Warner306 ... i'll try to reduce the rendering queues .... the Geforce 1030 Low Profile was the only fanless Option tuning my fanless HTPC for 4K Playback.
