If I select CUVID the playback on a demo HDR video (sony camping demo) is extremely choppy
If I select DXVA (copy - back) it's starts a bit choppy but evens it out eventually
If I select DXVA Native it plays ok, but the colors look inverted or something and overblown (see image below)
And in none of the selected decoders I get the HDR popup my LG tv gives when HDR content is played.
you wont be able to play HDR on your PC as nothing is sending any meta data to your TV, videos will just play as normal video. DSPLAYER cant play 4k HEVC stuff either, so if you are playing 4k HEVC demos this is why its choppy.
if you want smooth playback you'll have to use KODI krypton but you'll lose LAV FILTERS so you have to play 3D frame packed stuff on an external player. I am currently experimenting with how best to deal with my own media needs. I have a fully 4K setup with a 65 inch 4K OLED TV, i'm having all manner of problems with KODI, DPI and graphics drivers. My advice - sack 4k and HDR off for a couple of years until all the issues have been resolved, by that time there should be loads of content to see.
I'm currently using kodi krypton with MPC+MVR+LAVfilters for 3D playback, however i'm toying with the idea of just playing 4k stuff in krypton and having all my 1080p stuff running on MPC-HC as an external player. So many options here, none of them ideal, this is why we really really really really really need a DEV to build DSPLAYER on Kodi Krypton, then we'll be back to being able to play everything on one player and not have to use exteral players.
DSPlayer should be able to play 4K HEVC. LAV Video can do the decoding.
have you tried it? cost it dont work for me.

4k HDR or 4k? DSPlayer plays 4k just fine. 4k HDR, such as the Sony demos you mentioned earlier, do not.

MPC-HC can be used with Kodi. You don't have to give up Kodi as a media front-end.
Question (maybe a dumb one, as I think I've seen this referenced before, but I'm looking for a definitive answer): if I use a third party player, there's really no way to still use Kodi's player overlay\OSD during playback, correct? And so short of a new DSPlayer or alternate Kodi build, if I want to use MadVR and still have full integration, I'm stuck on Jarvis?
No you don't get the overlay, you'd need Jriver for that at this point for an actively developed product. But do you really need the overlay? Madvr tells me the info I need using Ctrl-j and then its basically subs on or off when watching the movie which I can do from remote.
For me the breaking point is with subs. Not having access to the subtitles downloader from within the player is a show stopper, in my case. And there's no external player that does it right, unfortunately.

4k HDR or 4k? DSPlayer plays 4k just fine. 4k HDR, such as the Sony demos you mentioned earlier, do not.
can you send me a link to a sample I can try, I genuinely couldnt find anything 4k encoded with H265 DSPLAYER would play.
Problem: No audio with DSPlayer using madVR and ReClock.
I'm hoping some of who are using DSPlayer with madVR and ReClock can help me troubleshoot my no audio problem. I'm running Kodi 16 on a Windows 10 HTPC with an AMD A-6 6400k CPU and an EVGA GTX960 GPU. I installed DSPlayer with madVR and initially audio was playing. I'm using HDMI out to a Dennon AVR reciever. The audio was was working although it was not coming through in DD5.1 or DTS5.1 like the source material. BUT when I installed ReClock for the audio and configured it for WASAPI I now get an error code when I play a video. The video plays fine (even H265/HEVC video which is the whole reason I went this direction). The error code says "Initialize wasapi client failed - unknown error 80040154".
Any ideas why this is happening? Did I miss something on the configuration?

Try setting output to 96,000 and 24-bit padded. If it still fails, bitstream with sanear. There is a link to sanear at the end of the filters section of the setup guide.
I am using a Nvidia card with 347.88 driver. Driver version 347.52 has the same problem. My Intel HD 3000 is very solid and reliable with only an occasional crash.

Im also getting huge audio problems ever since win10 performed its latest round of updates. Audio initially plays fine, but after video playback ends it seems like Kodi craps out the audio codec and any consequent video playback has no audio. Ive tried all output frequencies in windows and all audio output types but still get the same issue.
try disabling quick start in Windows 10, I have solved my audio problems
Try use side channels instead of back in lav audio. See if that fixes it. Check that box

Well, I should be embarrassed to admit this but I solved the audio problem by simply rebooting my computer. I should have known better after installing all the filters etc but the good thing it is working. However, I'm now encountering what I hope is an easy fix issue. When I'm in Kodi I can't seem to get the windows 10 task bar at the bottom of the screen to disappear at all -- during video playback, during Kodi navigation it just stays on the screen. I tried right clicking my mouse and also pressing the windows key on my keyboard but it still doesn't go away.
Is there one of the filter settings that I should change to fix this?

I've had this happening to me. And the solution involved, for me, trying like mad to switch between Kodi fullscreen, fullscreen windowed and Kodi windowed, until the problem solved itself. You might want to give this a try. Don't think it's solved until you've launched a video and the bar doesn't reappear. Because unfortunately when I say "trying like mad" I mean literally.
If anybody has a surefire method to fix this, I'd be interested to read about it.
