MrMC

(20171125-c4410a6)
darwin: tvOS, include dynamic range with display rate switching

First I was just getting a black screen on SDR content, but completely closing and re-opening MrMC seems to have fixed it. I then tested Aladdin (1080p SDR) and it worked, tested BvS (4K HDR) and it worked, then tested Aladdin (1080p SDR) again and it worked.

So all is good now ?

Also I just tested out the Plex trailers on 10 random videos and they all worked (and switched refresh rate!).

Thanks to both of you!

Yup, all good. No issues that I've run into yet.

I tested the frame rate switching on panning scenes from "The Martian" and it plays very smooth; the TV displays the frame rate.
Now, my Minix U1 is retired
Thanks a lot for the update

Frame rate and HDR/SDR switching looks to be working fine.
Out of interest you have the default delay set to 4 seconds, is this the recommended delay or can it be lowered without causing issues?

You can lower it to whatever you want. 4 seconds is a little too long for my TV/AVR combo, but it really depends on how long it takes your devices to switch. My last TV needed it be at 6. Turning it off just starts things playing right away and you might miss a few seconds at the beginning.

Sure, it can be lowered. I'm at three seconds and seems like it could go lower for my setup.

Thanks. I’ll do some testing.

Unrelated, but is there any way to hide certain libraries imported using Plex?
