I was puzzled why "Allow turn on/off" works, but "Allow turn on/off (fullscreen)" doesn't, but I investigated and experimented a bit with various settings and found out that the "(fullscreen)" variant only works when "Use exclusive fullscreen" is also enabled.

I am glad that it works, but it is very inconvenient, because you lose mouse, Controls, Seek Bar, Status, etc.

As I have HDR off by default in Windows, I still want to use this feature, when I expect and want to play HDR content, so I can see few (non-exclusive) viable solutions and improvements:

  1. Allow to automatically switch HDR with non-exclusive fullscreen (just like how "Allow turn on/off" works)
  2. Add keyboard shortcut for Exclusive Fullscreen
  3. Add manual HDR toggle to Menu
  4. Add interactive HDR infotag to the Satus Bar "Toggle HDR on/off"

Windows has a keyboard shortcut to turn on HDR:
WinKey+Alt+B

Okay, that makes my life a LOT easier. Thanks!

Now regarding my other suggestions, do you think that placing [HDR] to the Status Bar would be viable to inform the user that this content can be played in HDR?

The player does not know the HDR status of the renderer, or even if the video is HDR.

Plus there is a pinned topic saying that I DO NOT WANT feature requests. So the answer is NO. I am not interested in that at all.

And finally, this is wrong place for issues specific to the renderer. That has its own project page.
