[WiP] madVR support in MP1 (7 Viewers)

[azzuro]

For now, i don't see any regression with EVR.

Just missing the Ambilight part a bit

Yep need to ask Tourettes about the Ambilight too but it's surely possible

Surely possible (he said a couple months ago) but stability first, than the features.

It works ok with ambibox on its own (or does it? maybe i should switch it off during testing!)

V14 in first post
Need feedback of course because the code was reworked and also needed to test regression against EVR

 

[azzuro]

So, i will go on V14 EVR feedback.

Have tried V14 and observed the following:-

When playing a .mkv video (both 2D and 3D) in Videos if I select subtittles the audio looses sync (delayed) with the video, quite severe. This happens with both madvr and EVR but seems less severe when played via Moving Pictures.
With madvr selected:- changing TV channels now works OK but I did note that when changing to or from channel 1, which previously was a problem, the skin background is now briefly displayed.
In Online Videos the flashing menu as reported previously is still a problem.
With EVR selected:- With the exception of the subtittle issue above all looks good, TV channel changing is good without the skin background display. With Online Videos I did get a couple of MP crashes on starting a catchup video but I could not subseqently reproduce this and the flashing menu does not occurr.

The background video is happening here because it was last D3D frame before madVR renderer, so hard to fix it.
OV it's normal, it check against EVR and i think the way i have add retro compatibility is not correct so in final, if madVR goes to MP, we need to break compatibility plugin to be able to handle madVR. I will try to compil a version againt madVR to see if it's ok on your side

About subtitle, that not cool lol, does it happen with EVR on official MP version too ?
Thanks for the feedback

Sounds good and no problem with the background.

It does not happen with EVR on the version of 1.14 I'm using but not sure how "official" it is, reference your post here https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mp-hangs-when-scheduled-recording-starts.133918/page-3

Could you reproduce the delayed sync ? with fresh log (watchdog option 1)
Thanks

Not easily. My ininial attempts using option 1 with the Watchdog were not successfull, i.e the video played without loss of sync after selecting subtittles with both EVR and madvr. I then tried in normal mode but again no problem until I selected resume playback from last position which it did but without the subs. when I reselected subs. it went right out of sync. I tried restarting MP and playing the video from start and the sync was almost OK just , very slightlly off but still not as good as it was at the start of testing. I then went back to option 1 with Watchdog, no problem with EVR, perfect sync 1st log) but with madvr (2nd log) it went out of sync after selecting English audio then German subs even with the video playback from start! It seems like once the problem has been induced (i.e. via the resume from last position) it can be reproduced more easily even with scenarios that previosly worked.
I'm sorry it is not so straightforward. Peak viewing time is fast approaching so won't be able to do more testing till Monday.
