OK. in principle they are almost the same as the profile I created for madVR and content at 4K, I just have to experiment with the practical act.
thank you again.

Anyone having trouble getting Fullscreen Exclusive D3D11 to engage properly? I'm using madVR and with MPC-HC standalone, my 3d and 2d .mkvs play as expected in Fullscreen Exclusive (D3D11). When I try to use DSplayer/Kodi, no matter what settings I have selected in Kodi (e.g., load madVR profile, never, DSPlayer profile), I'm only getting D3D11 window (8 bit) mode for 3D content. If I select "Never" in the DSplayer option that deals with madVR profiles, then I can get 2D content to play in Exclusive mode, but I've not found any combination of settings (madVR, LAV, or Kodi) that get me into fullscreen exclusive for 3D MVC .mkvs.

Good to know (I guess), but my post wasn't about HDR. It was about framepacked 3D content, which for me doesnt play correctly outside of FSE mode.
It's really weird though because I've tried all the DSplayer kodi variants available (15.1c, 14.4, 14.3, etc.) and they all behave similarly (screen auto changes from 2160p to 1080p23 FP, engages 3D, but the movie is scaled to 2160, zooming the image so that the screen is filled but with only about a 1/4th of the content -the upper left part).
However, if i create a rule in the player.xml to have 3D content played on an external player (mpc-hc or stereoscopic player), then the movie plays perfectly. Obviously I can use this setup as a workaround, but I'd prefer to watch it all on the dsplayer if we could figure out what's wrong.
I'm game to try whatever permutations developers would like.

Thought I had it figured out, but alas, I'm still struggling to figure out how to get DSPlayer version of Kodi to use an external player. Anyone know if it's possible?
I've put the following in playercorefactory.xml (just to see) and I couldn't get MPC-HC to work ever.
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
</playercorefactory>
Ideally what I'll eventually want is MPC-HC to just play my 3D movies (since it plays them without the scaling issue I referenced above), but right now I'm just trying to troubleshoot why I can't get MPC-HC to play any movies. Kodi just keep defaulting to DSPlayer and then crashing. Can someone confirm that with DSplayer Kodi you can still utilize other external players? If so, mind sharing your playercorefactor.xml?

Are you going to 'Play Using...' from the movie's context menu, and then selecting MPC-HC? I have 32-bit MPC-HC set up similarly, just in case I want to use it at any time, and it works just fine. However, by default everything plays with DSPlayer because that's how I have it set up. To make MPC-HC the default, you would need to set up at least one Rule in your playercorefactory.xml file.

Thanks. So if I use "Play Using" submenu, the 3d movies play fine (i.e., not scaled). I've tried using a couple different rules from the internet that should make MPC-HC open automatically just for 3D movies, but haven't been successful. Can you give me a hand? All my 3D movies have "3D.MVC." in their title, just before .mkv.

Try this.
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mkv" player="DSPlayer">
<rule filename=".*3D.MVC.*" player="MPC-HC"/>
</rule>
</rules>

Hmm. going to reinstall an older version of DSplayer. Not getting MPC to auto open for some reason.
