Trying to get my lingo straight. By HDR slider are you guys referring to the HDR and advanced color setting in Windows CU? It's either on or off like every other setting switch. I take it we're calling these sliders?
I think you guys are being a little tough on him. He's simply developed a little something that enables presets in the player and resets them to default when finished (manually). The presets are not a full fledged traditional HDR method. They are however pretty handy for a user that doesn't have an HDR capable display I assume because his presets open up the range via the player instead of the display and with some color correction. For those that do have an HDR capable display, it looks ok too. Rather than run to the HDR slider, switch, on/off setting (whatever) you call it, and wipe out the Windows desktop, he's linked his on/off player presets to the 'play using' menu as well as the external player. Windows desktop isn't affected. The only thing affected is the player settings.
It's probably on my end somehow but getting the on/off exe's to work through the 'play using' feature fail for me. They work fine solo. Something is wrong in the exe code 1st couple of lines. Playercorefactory is fine. I've been screwing around decompiling the exe back to .bat, modding and back to exe but ran out of time. Maybe tomorrow.
I think he's made it a point describe what he sees from his dedicated player with physical discs looks identical through MPC-HC using his settings with his equipment. Whether that's completely accurate or not, I don't know? I do know it looks decent to me but I prefer my own method. At least they are watchable because they sure aren't played raw. This is all about getting ready for when HDR can be ripped to file and it becomes as common as the Blu-ray standard. Maybe it will happen, maybe it won't but I wouldn't discourage folks from experimenting and sharing what ever they do for what ever reason they do it.
