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.

it will integrate. just add this section to your existing code

<players>
<player name="Launch XDR MPC-BE 64 Bit" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\The Kodi HDR Project VER 2.0.0.0\XDRFE.EXE</filename>
<args>"{1}"</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>

The path <filename> must match the install folder of kdoi xdr project. That's it.


run madvr in mpchc and xdr in mpcbe at the same time (use xdrdesktop function to do this in desktop outside kodi to compare.
