Any further suggestions?

Thanks!

This might be something that wasn't tested by aracnoz. I can also launch external players using Play using but I've never tried any rules. MPC-HC is not the default player despite the presence of a playercorefactory.xml.

The only other explanation is your files are not named correctly. Try creating a rule for file types and see if DSPlayer honours that. You need to determine if the filename rule is the issue or if rules in general are ignored. Remove the rule and see if MPC is launched automatically. It's too hard to tell what's wrong with what you've provided.

you need to use advanceguisettings.xml and put a another value to height and width (go check wiki).

Why only with HDR, then everything else always work correctly?

The main thing is how to fix it?

I will be very grateful for the help and advice. 

 Did you try setting Kodi to use a fullscreen window rather than a true fullscreen? This usually fixes these problems.

"Kodi don't change to videoplayer(internal) after launch a external player, it's a bug, not fix in v18"

and with that?

from what i can see in your other code you have forgot to add the DOT before the * doing this will pick up any wildcard filename with or without 3D.
the above code should force dsplayer to play all mkv files except ones that meet the criteria of 3D in their filename.
all files with the extension iso will be played with MPC.

btw. kodi-dsplayerx64 is a bit buggy. been there tried that.

Try doing a portable installation of regular Kodi and importing your playercorefactory.xml. You can then rule out DSPlayer as the problem.

If your rules don't work and you want to use DSPlayer, you may have to delete the rule and launch your external player manually (Play using ->) for your 3D files. I have this working on my system, so it should be working on yours.

You can create a profile for your 3D files in madVR and launch your batch file from the profile group, as well. madVR does support batch files, so there may be no need to use MPC-BE to launch a batch file from a playercorefactory.xml.

 Thanks Bibio.

I tried that.

Result was dsplayer was default player for all mkvs - whether they matched the rule or not.
Videoplayer was default for iso's
Mpc was listed as a player I could choose manually from the menu

Did you check the GPU control panel when these resolution changes happen? Is the GPU changing resolution, or is Kodi changing the resolution? If it's the GPU, then it's not Kodi fault; it's the GPU driver. Did you try playing your 4K files with VideoPlayer to see if the result is the same?
