Toggle the 'use fullscreen window' switch and use native resolution 3840x2160p.

Why would you use onboard GPU audio instead of nVidia audio? You're just asking for problems. nVidia offers multiple ports to send audio/video assuming your AVR is outdated and you need to separate audio and video.
1080p vs 2160p is obviously a difference. Ease of use is only as complicated as you make it. Start with getting a working model using just Windows Explorer first. Add in extra things like KODI after. If you can't set it up in Explorer, no amount of button pushing in KODI is going to help you.

I'm guessing at some of this because I don't use DSP but the settings should apply. This is why I suggest diagnosing from Explorer to eliminate KODI and just use the raw tools to establish the basics.Thanks for the reply.

Having HDR engage would be because you have the OS HDR switch in Windows enabled, or you are sending the wrong gamut to the display. Set calibration in madVR to BT.709 and hdr to passthrough to the display with send metadata checked. Under that scenario, I can't see how 1080p content would engage HDR in madVR. This would not likely be the fault of DSPlayer.(2018-07-01, 22:28)brazen1 Wrote: I don't think DVI handles high bitrate but you could try.

I have a display port to HDMI adapter, so I'll try that once I have the video part working smoothly.
Not sure what I can do from the desktop (I assume that is what you mean by explorer?), other than change MadVR, the resolution, turn HDR off and set up the sound.

If you use MPC-HC as your test player, the settings should be similar in DSPlayer once you add KODI.Never used MPC-HC, so I'll give it a go.

The dual-GPU set up you had before might have been what was confusing DSPlayer with your past issue.

I have turned off updating the refresh rate in Kodi, so this is handled by MadVR.No, madVR will just passthrough any BT.2020 content. Calibration only applies to SDR content or HDR -> SDR conversion. HDR content is a simple passthrough operation if you ticked that option.
I can now play 1080p24 correctly, but when I play 2160p24 movies they look washed out. Do I need to set the colour to 2020 in MadVR?
