Yes, I know.  I mentioned this particular PCF problem about a year ago when v.18 nightlies 1st started to appear.  I toss out a reminder here and there hoping one of them gets read.  Haven't seen any replies.  Have not submitted bug report to draw more attention either.  I simply never learned how.  However, I have seen bugs reported in various forum posts that are addressed.  Maybe if others mentioned it, it wouldn't be considered isolated if that is indeed what it is considered and that's if the issue is even known.  If something you read confirms the issue is known, that's good news.  Seems I read something by patk but I don't know if devs are informed?  My plan is to just be patient and when it goes into RC, if it hasn't been addressed, then I'll call out the cavalry so it's caught before the release provided it is deemed worthy of attention.

I've installed VLC v.4 nightly and v.3.  It does mount and play iso's but it fumbles using index.bdmv.  I was prompted about JAVA for menus but the immediate goal was HDR so I didn't install it.  UHD does mount and play but HDR mode does not switch.  I think it relies on Windows HDR and no private API's.  I briefly tried a few sensible setting changes but they didn't help.  Tried 3D MVC Frame Packed iso but was only 2D.  Perhaps it needs plug-in options to bring it to life?  Definitely not plug and play ready.  I see no benefit here besides SDR menus (a free option vs PDVD & FAB) unless someone else managed more than I have.  Google searches turned up a bunch of nothing.  Maybe luci5r has some answers and once the coms with Mark Watney subside, he can educated us.  My interest was perked because of this 2741627 (post)
