I can´t find this action under the oppo driver settings. The driver has the ability to change HDR modes (mapped to a button) but the Oppo protocol does not provide any feedback when it detects a disc that supports HDR.

perio Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Ive got some problems. How do I get the advanced info screen from the oppo? Double click does not function. Under "oppo player events" I choose source and output resolutions 1080p for Bluray and UHD. Under "actions" I choose the appropriate custom buttons for picture mode settings, but nothing happens, when the resolution changes. What is wrong?

I am not sure which screen you're talking about but i suspect you mean EXTENDED OSD. In regards to the events there are 6 different 1080p resolutions. Make sure you program for the correct one. Also test out your script by using the execute button as well.

Please help me. Weird these features are used in pretty much every job (this is one of our most popular drivers so it would have come up if it was broken). First make sure that Feedback Mode is set to Feedback in the driver's properties. If you are still having trouble please get your dealer to lodge a ticket via our helpdesk and we will investigate. They will most likely need to provide us with remote access to your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanchow Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 UPDATE The Oppo driver has now been updated to provide aspect ratio feedback for UDP-203 and UDP-205 models. This is useful for programming automated screen masking and projection modes for systems with projectors. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is useful for programming automated screen masking and projection modes for systems with projectors. Ive tested this new feature with several German disks (Atomic blond UHD, Baby Driver bluray, Deepwater horizon UHD, King Arrhur bluray and UHD, Sully UHD, Spider-Man Homecoming BD and Wonder Woman UHD), but either the disks are mastered with no correct metadata or the Oppo shows the wrong aspect ratio (16:9 instead of 21:9). All that movies are in cinemascope format. The only thing that works, is, when I stop the movie and the Oppo switches to the home menu, my screen masking changes to 16:9. Therefore this nice feature seems to be worthless at least with German disks. In addition as I mentioned above the in and output resolution feature does not work for me until now, although my dealer contacted the support, who has integrated meanwhile a "detailed feedback" function. My own questions or remarks to the support remain unanswered. This is very disappointing. For me its important, that my beamer changes to a certain HDR picture profile when the Oppo detects this.

Glad to see that your resolution functionality is resolved. You should probably call support up or use the live chat if you have problems speaking to them. We just pass through what Oppo sends to us. I am not sure how they determine when to provide this aspect feedback as it was only recently introduced. It is actually undocumented at this stage so we had to get our local distributor to get the information back. However if you want a better experience you should probably invest in Kaleidescape. From my understanding though most discs are mastered incorrectly and do not provide good feedback as to their aspect ratio and as such they have someone who manually goes through each movie to ensure proper aspect ratios (https://www.residentialsystems.com/res-blogs/1292) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The driver will recognise resolution changes but not HDR output (there is no feedback on this from the Oppo). You can programatically turn HDR on and off though so maybe program against that action.

nyarjun Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Thanks alanchow for the response, I was just seeing if there was a way to combine the dune player and my bluray player into one unit in my rack since I have no space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perio Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I deleted the oppo driver, because neither my dealer nor the support was able to get the driver to work regarding the resolution feature. My dealer told me, that the support didn't answer his requests. This is very disappointing. I have changed back to the original driver from Annex, which is now supporting this feature.

alanchow Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 Weird. Our support desk escalates tickets to us when they can’t resolve it and I haven’t received any for oppo As mentioned our driver does support resolution feedback but not Feedback for HDR state.

If you are looking for a media player compatible with Control4 we recommend Zappiti. In fact the Zappiti Pro 4k HDR is up there in performance to the UDP-203 (I heard from a distributor that they actually hired Oppo engineers to make the Pro 4k). https://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/audio-player/media-players/zappiti-pro-4k-hdr-media-player-review/ http://chowmainsoft.com/zappiti-control4 mujtaba.khokhar and msgreenf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
