You know what's weird is I know exactly what it is yet I still had a brain fart and confused it with colour space.I think that's the colour range, 0-255 (PC levels) vs 16-235 (limited).
I don't think MadVR knows the colour space of the target device.
Thanks for the help ! I'll try to get on to my HTPC later if I can and capture the settings,post up some shots of your settings and I'll happy offer comment - can't guarantee it'll be good advice though!
Same as Conrad But I've read a lot and tried a lot so hopefully I can be of use. Especially if in don't get the basics wrong again lol.Bit of a positive update...I was looking at some online videos and sites on MadVr settings and I messed around with the Chroma Upsampling and reduced the CPU settings which seemed to have done the trick in terms of much more stable playback, I can pause, skip etc. and it still keeps playing fine. Even Flash Gordon now plays back fine.
I can even put in a disc and it plays back the main movie...but that can suffer a little from chapter skips not working properly.
I'm not sure it looks as good as my dedicated 4k player as the colours don't seem as vibrant but I might try some of the HDR settings to see if these change anything.
For now it seems to be a working solution, so pretty happy. Could do with a quieter CPU cooler now!!

About the same size as my PCOnly photos i could find of mine.....
Runs JRiver Media Center client, connects to 4k TV and pulls content from my Windows Server 2019 fileserver running JRiver Media Center is server mode.
Very nice, what's the GPU?
Does JRiver play ISOs in that config?
I found that mounting the share as a network drive and using that as a local library means that I can use all the functionality, but then I have two libraries to manage.
Well if the market ever calms down there is a 3060 Ti that will fit your caseGood question. A 1060 i think. Needed to be short to fit in the case.
I don't use ISO's as i rip the disc and remove all extra languages and extras. So the film starts straight away, no delay.
I would hate that. I did hate that which is why I configured Kodi for network access. I just couldn't get on with JRiver when I tried it. I downloaded it specifically to help with auto configuration of MadVR since my GPU was only a 2060 maxQ.I found that mounting the share as a network drive and using that as a local library means that I can use all the functionality, but then I have two libraries to manage.
Jriver will do that for you without having to rip it, it only bothers with the titles if you ask it to. But certainly to save storage removing stuff you won't watch often is a good idea.
Assuming you can even get the parts you want then yes why not. My case is about the size of an oversized shoe box. I've seen systems built inside cases the size of box folders. The key is air flow and cooling. Get that right and you can have a modern well functioning system with decent CPU and GPU.Hi Everybody,
I have an old Advent DHE 500 Windows Media Centre PC. Pentium 4 based system and quite long in the tooth. It's quite a slim and quiet system and always worked well when I was using it. Is it worth trying to upgrade the motherboard/cpu and graphics card, because I really like the case or should I just retire the system and cherish my fond memories
I can´t find pictures of it online. Can you show us what if looks like? Does it have a VFD screen? The key is: does it have a standard motherboard backplate hole at the back?Hi Everybody,

I'm never sure of the PC sizes. The only one I'm certain of is my micro-ITX PC.Looks like it could be a standard micro-ATX.
