Using the newer driver, I was getting some sort of really bad video drawing corruption when browsing the KODI library.  I could eliminate it by unchecking 'use a fullscreen window' but that is not compatible with external players leading to KODI minimizing and losing focus.  Discovered turning off stereoscopic in NCP also corrected it and I could leave 'use a fullscreen window' enabled.  I ended up changing some code around that ensured 3D would only enable when needed and turn off when not.  Then I discovered AAC audio was not producing multichannel without manually toggling Windows Audio Properties back and forth which could have also been automated but why?  This was the last straw.  I'm back to using 385.28 once again.  Everything is working as usual with no changes to anything.

DVDFab Player v.5 needs some TLC big time for UHD HDR and 3D.... I'll remain using v.3 for perfect UHD menus and PowerDVD v.18 for perfect 3D menus.  For times when a little more quality needs to be unbridled, I'll use MPC-BE with components.  Fwiw, I don't experience any magenta tint or any problems at all using 8bit and W10.  There is no need to use 12bit or W8.1 in my case.  Everything automates.  The picture produced from FAB looks very good imo.  Did you turn HDR on in the v.3 FAB player and turn HDR>SDR off?  Can't imagine why you're getting a magenta tint much less why W8.1 is the only thing that cures it?  Check you are using D3D11/Auto Native in LAV.  Also, Passthrough sending metadata in madVR with Already calibrated and BT709 or DCI-P3 when using madVR player(s).

I added a link to my madVR settings.bin file for new users to have a starting point.  https://www.dropbox.com/s/7xuhr0te0k957z...s.zip?dl=0

I've been very happy with DVDFab v.3 for all my UHD playback. I haven't updated to v.5 and seeing your post, I don't feel I need to. The only one issue I've been having is that DVDFab does not seem to respond to my Remote Control, like PowerDVD does. I bought a remote on Amazon which I never had to setup or configure or anything at all. Everything from Kodi to PowerDVD had out-of-box support. But not DVDFab. Is your remote control working fully with DVDFab? Did you need to setup or do anything?

One other thing I wanted to ask ... Not counting MPC-BE/MadVR (which requires > GT1030), or PowerDVD (which requires all sorts of hardware upgrades which I'm not interested in just for PowerDVD to play UHD), is DVDFab currently the only other option for full UHD HDR playback?

Thanks!
