All play fine in MPC BE using identical MADVR settings. A full fresh portable install also fails so its defo an issue with with DS, I havent tried any older version yet or dialling back the LAV / MADVR version to those available with this release.

i'm slowly getting my head round the settings and so far so good.

what i would like to know is.. can you set up different 'profiles' for different content? what i mean by this, lets say i have filenames with moviename (DVD).mkv, moviename (BR).mkv and moviename (4K).mkv. can you set up different profiles so when launching one of the moviename (?) files it recognises the (?) and changes to a different settings profile.

i could set different players in playerfactory.xml for different content based on the file name structure with external players. as such would launch the correct configured player.

thanks

If i remember right, while u play something, u just go into the player menu, video, and adjust all DSPlayer settings there, and before leaving, go below to the last setting and save.
Probably more in deep changes can be made from the XML files themselves.
