Maybe you misunderstood me. I haven't tried XDR yet. Yes, my display is set at BT2020 (HDR is enabled for that HDMI port). You answered one of my questions, BT2020 10bit would be set to 0 in a .cal. Great. Gives me a head start creating one. I really don't need to google playercorefactory. I've written many including the latest for 3 players two of which call .bats uniquely for 3D interactions as well as HDR directives and GPU commands relayed to O/S global settings. I just wanted to know if the existing one would work simultaneously with the one your app creates once mine is renamed and set aside. I had hoped it would integrate with an existing. Evidently it won't but maybe I can play with it. I understand your app does not trigger HDR mode, that adjustments are made at software level in the player. I thought I would make a .cal for a title and then compare playback with madVR. MadVR produces HDR SDR conversions using it's 3D LUT method. MadVR also simply passes through also. Passthrough is the method I'm currently using with Nvidia and a 10 year old PC. I just wanted to visually test the difference using madVR passthrough in HDR mode and XDR in SDR mode but without my playercorefactory to flip between the two in Kodi, it would be difficult since only XDR would be present.
On second thought, one could simply set options in MPC to use separate players, natively start HDR playback using madVR passthrough and pause it. Then custom adjust MPC to his hearts content on a 2nd instance of another MPC player and play it natively side by side with each other. These would be in windowed mode though and it wouldn't be fair to madVR since it would only pass 8bit windowed. Hmmmm? This wouldn't allow HDR mode to kick in using passthrough either. Maybe starting MPC, adjusting it as if I was setting up a .cal, leaving it open and starting another MPC player with madVR passthrough in FSE to allow HDR mode to enable, watch it and memorize details, and then close it to begin playback of the already adjusted 2nd instance of MPC and compare...... Need to think about it some.
