Has anyone tried watching HDR content with madvr and MP already ? I tried some of the demo files and recognized there is no gui at all as long as the clip is running... no pause menu, no info... nothing. Still pressing "pause" still does its work but no gui at all
I just don't get HDR to run on a AMD RX 460 with a LG OLED E6D. Don't know what the problem ist. Reinstalled drivers, checked settings in madvr and amd settings, tried other HDMI cables, eliminated for test the AVR and connected direct to TV. Just nothing work.
Actual settings ycbcr422 with 12 bit.
Creators Update is installed and Win10 HDR is set in madvr, but i don't see a option in any settings of windows to activate hdr. Normally i should fullfill all needed requirements for hdr. I also set Deep Color mode on LG TV. For now i'm out of ideas-
interne gpu with DP1.3/1.4 or externe gpu with hdmi 2.0 (nvidia) or DP 1.3 (AMD) -> av-receiver (hdcp2.2/hdmi2.0) -> tv (hdmi2.0/DP1.3) -> Now must work 4K/60Hz !
think of, hdmi cable 2.0 !
gpu ram ? Manufacturer exaggerated gladly with 4k informations. 4gb for gpu minimum

AV-Receiver is Denon AVR-X1200W https://www.denon.de/de/product/homecinema/avreceiver/avrx1200w and can hdcp2.2 and hdmi 2.0, but i also tested the direct way to TV. TV can all the funny things . I can play HDR files from USB.
HDMI Cables i tested one of Amazon AmazonBasics Hochgeschwindigkeits-HDMI-Kabel 2.0: Amazon.de: Elektronik and some from kabeldirekt marked as 4K, HDR KabelDirekt 2m HDMI Kabel / kompatibel mit HDMI 2.0a: Amazon.de: Elektronik . Also i can't recommend the last one, because i had some problems earlier with it.
GPU has 4 GB. 4k, 3D, HEVC and all the other good things work really good with MP and madvr.

Ok, HDR is now the next house number after 4K

@GeYe Ok so i have more or less the same config (Denon 6200, LG 65E6 but Nvidia GPU) so this should work out if the driver and GPU support HDR as well.
On my computer i was able to use the Windows 10 HDR switch when using the latest gpu driver (i switched back to an older version cause it broke a lot of other things, Nvidia HDR is working anyway).
It should look like this (HDR and advanced color):
Issue here is its always on and not just when HDR content/games are used. But maybe thats different with the AMD card.
Update:
Have you tried switching to 8bit? I think i have read that RX400 cards are using 8 bit for HDR at least for games...don`t know if that applies for movies as well.
If this is the case there might be still another issue... does the LG support/switch to HDR when a 8bit HDR signal is sent to it ? I don`t know

just saying.... on my system (amd rx460) HDR is working only if display is set up for
4:2:2 8,10,12bit @ any freq
4:4:4 8 bit @ 23 or 24 hz
i think it is a limitation of HDMI 2.0
also i noticed that madvr produce washed out image on mpc and MP but if i use win10 tv and video player, video is well tonemapped and have good colors. i don't know why ..... would be that madvr is bugged in sending hdr metadata by win10 API ?
