Anyway, thank you so much for your help.

 All my 4K / HDR movies they are reproduced through Kodi ,  obviously , with external players  as MPC-BE , MPC-HC and PotPlayer and maybe even with PwerDVD , my GPU connection it's direct  to a TV OLED LG-55C7  from one of the 2 doors HDMI  of my graphics card  nVidia 1080 Ti. The second  and remaining door  HDMI of the  GPU is connected to a AVR Pioneer , just to pass the audio multimedia HD. with HDMI 1.4 it passes only 4K to 30Hz. is unprovided of  passthrough video HDR , not having door HDMI 2.0 and HDCP2.2. with cables HDMI High-Speed .
Then , It depends on the specifications of your AVR. If HDMI 2.0 and HDCP2.2 they are not supported on the AVR , I believe it is the only solution to be adopted .

Then  , first thing to do is to turn on Deep Color for the HDMI port where you intend to connect your HDR UHD , The beginning of  Passengers is  joy for the eyes .

I see my 4K / HDR content beautifully , and with a cable length  HDMI High-Speed of 10 meters from PC to Oled TV.

I don't know about your specific display and color reproduction?  One thing is for sure, if your dedicated player using the disc and your file setup look identical, and you have taken your AVR out of the equation, your display settings are at fault.  I assume you are not using long cables?  If you are, temporarily move your HTPC and/or your dedicated player, or your display closer to each other and use ANY cable 6' or under to test.  If it improves, it's your longer cables.  If it doesn't, it's your display settings.

When customizing key assignments, try to correlate them with Kodi, PDVD, MPC, and any other players so they all work the same with each other.

Fwiw, here are the values I entered for skip forward and skip back using arrow buttons under Miscellaneous:  3000, 10000, and 60000.  If you pause, and press the ^ key, you now have single frame advance.  Holding it down is real time as well.     

Don't forget to set up subtitle positions under rendering:   Enable Override Placement.  50 and 92 works well for me.  I also changed the font to Tahoma.
