As Topic says, cause i noticed EVR displays it wrong (too dark) but MadVR displays it correctly.

EDIT: Confirmed that it is full range for some reason.

The color format, color space, and color range can be set by the user. Well, at least in the config files -- haven't put in the user interface for it yet.

Ah ok that explains it.

I would recommend default to be:

HD = rec709, TV Range, and of course YV12
SD rec601 and then the same.

That's usually the base rule for it.
And it's very important to set the info in x264 (or other encoder).
Else it's impossible to know what it was and the decoder will just have to guess.
Though that's why the HD/SD base rule exist;P

EDIT: Can't find where in the config files

Yes, it does set x264's settings so that x264 knows the color space and color range.

For the config files it's currently undocumented. Go to %appdata%\obs-studio\basic\basic.ini (paste it in to start/run or windows key + R).

Then for example, in the video section:

[Video]
ColorSpace=709
ColorRange=Full

ColorSpace can be either 709 or 601, then ColorRange can be either Full or Partial. ColorFormat can be also set to either I420 or NV12 (later on a lot more), but don't add it/change it. It defaults to NV12 because that gets the best performance out of x264. I'll add this stuff to the user interface in the next major update hopefully.

Partial 709 is currently default. Reasoning behind that is because most video player programs like to assume things are always partial range.
