Hi All
I've been using Kodi for many years now, but only recently I installed the DSPlayer version (17.6) in order to play my 4K UHD content as it does most of the HDR settings by default.
There is just one problem I have so far, when I play a 4K UHD movie via the DSPlayer using madvr it plays perfectly fine, however as soon as I activate the subtitle while playing the movie it automatically loses HDR (I get washed colors), then when I stop the movie and start it again everything is back to normal. So basically the I lose HDR or the display goes yellow/orange every time I activate the subtitle.
Is there perhaps anybody out there that is experiencing the same or similar problem? Or do I just have the wrong setting?
Any help will be appreciated.

I appreciate what you're saying but copper doesn't work with long lengths.. I mean with 4K 60hz..it has to be fibre optic to transfer the full 18gps signals hence why they are so expensive at the moment..

not well known but you can run HDMI over cat6 with a converter/booster (its what professional installers use), you can also buy a booster for copper HDMI. both will work just fine if you get the correct one.
boosters are used throughout networking infrastructures so its not like its new technology. the reason that optical is sometimes used in networking is due to 'space' constraints and at one point it was the only way to get gbic (gigabit transfer rates). you would be surprised just how much data good old fashioned copper can carry these days. i could be wrong as i have never tried but i'm sure you can run 4k HDR from a NAS.
optical HDMI cables are just an optical fibre with a converter/booster attached, exactly the same as copper HDMI with a booster attached. it matters not the 'medium' its how its utilised. this is true of all medium for data.
if it makes you happy buying an 'all in one' then buy an optical.

you should be fine with cheapish HDR spec copper shielded cables as long as they are under 2 meters, I personally use JuicEBitz®

On another forum, a user told me XySubFilter does not support 10-bit output. Is this true?
I know there are users of DSPlayer who must be using this combination and DSPlayer uses XySubFilter.
