did you get your fancy optical HDMI cable?
is madVR reporting the EDID?
if so then its nothing to do with your HDMI signal.

Don't know anything about fixing HDMI handshaking issues. A new graphics card might fix that, but I really have no idea.
Are you unhappy with the performance of the RX 560? You would get better performance of NGU with the 1050 Ti, but I'm not sure it's worth the hassle if you have a working set up. The RX 560 is a good enough card for madVR.

to be honest mkohman i'm not getting any better performance than you with my 1050Ti
what makes you think that its an EDID issue?
when your projector is plugged direct into your GPU and you check the EDID in madVR is the EDID being reported the same as when you insert your AVR into the chain and check the EDID in madVR?

I only use my HTPC for movie playback for 4K and 1080p playback... My gears is RX560 4GB, ANTHEM AVM60, JVC X5900.. this happens every once in a while but when it does the I have to reboot my pc to get it back.. Usually happens when playing 4k then switching back to 1080p then back to 4k..it's very strange and temperamental..

How can I check the EDID in madVR? Can you please advise.. I know it's ctrl + J but which line is the EDID information please? Thanks
Also I forgot to say.. I never use windowed mode in DSPLAYER.. Do I need to? Could this be the cause.? I use fullscreen..

ok, I've had similar issues myself, black screen but I no longer have. We need to track down exactly where it happens, trust me, it wont be random. Is your projector 4k or 1080p?
i'll cover exclusive and windowed mode when I know how you are connecting.
