Thanks for the advice.. Much appreciated.. I am actually using Windows 10 latest version (I think it's creator's edition)..
My projector does upscale 1080p to 4K yes and it looked like 4K so dry pleased but do I only put the refresh rates into madvr if I want madvr to do this or do I always put the refresh rates into madvr? Thank you.. Are these rated ok:
2160p60, 2160p59, 2160p50, 2160p24, 2160p23, 1080p60, 1080p59, 1080p50, 1080p24, 1080p23
Are these all the refresh rates I should add or should I not add any? What's the benefit of adding these? Thank you for your help [emoji106]

I should leave my phone alone and stop checking this thread.
I appreciate the help Brazen, but I am not the chief. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. This was a just a misunderstanding due to the poster not reading the thread carefully. We worked it out in PM. I just got upset because it took a long time to get the user to the finish line and I thought he was going to get screwed up by any new advice.
Please don’t stop posting in this thread. I enjoy hearing from other DSPlayer users. And I don’t know how much longer I can be on this forum daily. I’ll have to go offline eventually.
There are many experienced users here, so please post.

Hi @Warner360.. Thank you so much for your help.. I did read your whole guide.. There is a huge amount of amazing knowledge to gain from your generous guide and I'm still trying to take it in.. I will re read the guide and follow what you originally suggested.. I do apologise if I have caused anyone to be upset.. I am just trying to learn.. Thank you for all that has tried to help me.. I will stick with you recommendation.. That was my intention from the get go however just wanted to confirm a few things.. I won't be asking any more questions.. Thank you all....

i love it when people start bashing the nubies without even knowing what they are capable of. but hey bash on if it makes you happy.
maybe if people had actually looked at what i posted with screenshots for mkohman you might realise what i was trying to do for him. a nubie i may be but lets face it, its not rocket science now is it.
mkohman has taken screenshots like a clever person does so no harm in trying something new and applying the settings so i really dont know what all the big fuss is about.
mkohman, dont stop posting if you need help. after all thats what forums are usually for, to help other gain knowledge that otherwise would not get elsewhere.
the only real experts are the people who write the code of applications. without first hand knowledge the rest of us are lesser mortals.

Just to let you know, for future reference, almost all (but not all) of the advice I give comes from madshi himself. I have read everything he has posted on Doom9 for the last five years. I even follow his threads at AVSForums. There is good discussion going on right now about HDR -> SDR conversion in the projector forum.
Well, enough arguing. Can we get back to DSPlayer? I forgive your interference and could care less.

I think one point bears repeating, without the slightest shade of doubt.
The main reason to use Kodi DSPlayer is to have access to madVR video processing and scaling algorithms. Whatever your source resolution is, always output to your panel/TV native resolution and use madVR to scale to that resolution.
As Warner306 pointed out, you are going to use scaling algorithms far more advanced than the ones used in whatever display/projector you'll be using. GPU computational capabilities on a PC level card are simply far higher than what's available for consumer electronics SoC (System on Chips).
You'll tipically use an AMD card or a Nvidia Card. Both have computational power measured in teraflops. Forget about getting that power on SoC.
So if you want to use Kodi DSPlayer and not waste your time and your GPU, use madVR to scale content to your TV/panel/projector native resolution. End of story, really.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you
read this first (usually it's enough to follow instructions in the second post).

Hi, i've setup MADVR to trigger two different profiles based on HDR vs NON HDR content.
If (HDR) "HDR"
If (not HDR) "SDR"
These simply turn off "use DIRECT3D11" for none HDR stuff.
It works fine with MPC-HC but doesnt work with KODI DS, the movie plays in SDR and doesnt trigger HDR mode on my TV, any ideas why it doesnt work with DS?
