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.

This sounds like a bug with XySubFilter or DSPlayer. Very hard to fix unless aracnoz fixes it himself. He only visits this forum when major releases are made available. At that time, he usually updates DSPlayer. That could be another six months or more. So don't hold your breath for support. Sorry.

To rule out DSPlayer, download MPC-HC or MPC-BE. Install XySubFilter (the 32-bit  or 64-bit version accordingly). And play a file with madVR. If it works, it is DSPlayer. If not, try the internal subtitle filter for MPC instead. Again, this may or may not work.

My guess is DSPlayer is to blame. But it is too early to tell. If MPC works, then set-up an external player for your 4K UHD files. That can all take place inside of Kodi.
