i'm using kodi 17.6 Krypton x86+madVR+MPC-BE

things are working a lot better now that i have:
turned everything off in madvr except, HDR passthrough and D3D11.
i'm now using mpc-be to do the resolution switching and set up profiles for such.

with the above i'm getting pretty much perfect playback of SD and HD but with 4k+HDR, kodi will occasionally drop resolution to 900x800 when i exit full screen playback in mpc-be and this results in the desktop resolution being dropped as well.
default resolution is 3840x2160x60hz this includes mpc-be and kodi.
something is breaking resolution on full screen exit of external player.

if i just use mpc-be+madvr i get no problems. its when i use mpc-be+madvr as an external player inside kodi i'm getting the problems.

if i let madvr do the resolution switching i have the same problems as before further up in the thread.

i have tried kodi ds+madvr but its a loooot worse.

just one niggle to sort and i'll have perfect playback :-)

Hi, junk the external player, you dont need it, everything plays fine in DS, it will definitely be more stable as it wont have to jump in and out of windows, I didnt realise you were using an external player with DS, there isnt really any point, you might as well just use stock KODI if you are using an external player.
