Subtitles and HDR - Durahl - 11-01-2024 Greetings! Today "something" ( dunno what ) happened that not only messed with my Thumbnail generation but also the ability to have Subtitles ( wouldn't automatically show up and were greyed out as if not present ) when playing MKVs using MPC-BE(64) so I updated both it and the Codecs to where both now work again. Eeeeexcept for Subtitles now looking hella wonky when played on MPC-BE... Brainstorming a bit on it I figured the culprit might be the HDR System Settings and indeed disabling HDR would indeed solve it but I preferred it working like before "whatever" happened thus being able to leave HDR enabled with watchable Subtitles ( kinda hard to read if they're that dark ) 😅 Below a Screengrab with HDR enabled though in reality the picture is not what it looks like on TV - The actual Content would look just like the above image but the Subtitles were like 50% dark instead of pure white. Screengrab of the Media Player App with HDR enabled: Any suggestions / ideas how to solve this? Thanks in advance! 😁 RE: Subtitles and HDR - Shark007 - 11-01-2024 Are you using Nvidia graphics? If so, have a look at the Nvidia settings on THIS PAGE RE: Subtitles and HDR - Durahl - 11-02-2024 Thanks for looking into this! I'm indeed using a Nvidia GPU ( RTX 4090 FE ). My Settings already mirror the ones shown in the Image ( with the HDR Status changing to active when content is being played ). Toggling HDR off in said Settings only affects the Content but not the Subtitles ( they remain at 50% dark ) 🤔 RE: Subtitles and HDR - Shark007 - 11-02-2024 My next thought is to change the subtitle renderer. From within the Player, View | Options | Subtitles change internal subtitle renderer to VSFilter/xy-VSFilter
