[WiP] madVR support in MP1 (24 Viewers)

[rohnfe]

I can check that this afternoon... but as it was working with these settings before i guess that won`t help it. Anyhow i am still working on that 3D error/bug that i have and therefore using MPC-HC for testing so i only recognized that MP is no more working correctly just yesterday. therefore i cannot tell when this happened. This 3D issue is driving me crazy meanwhile as no one seems to have any idea left.

Yesterday i tried going back to an older version of madvr and going back to an older version of the nvidia driver - all to no luck.

Hey
V165 : http://tinyurl.com/hfjuecx maybe it fix OV issue

Yes, on a quick check, so far that has fixed the OV problem, also with the latest MP IPTV filter.

Ok i know i thought my issue was solved more than one time but it was not But i think this time i may found the solution even though i am not really happy with it.

So here is what i did:

• set 2D 1080p as resolution in the nvidia panel
  
• setup stereo in nvidia panel with the wizzard
  
• madvr settings as before 3d enabled all the standard settings for 3D
  
• rebooted
  
• checked settings again
  
• played a 2D file (which always broke 3D for me)
  
• played a 3D file and it was working
  
• repeated several times and it was still working

So this not really what i wanted to find out because i definetly want to use 4K as standard Resolution....
Btw. you can still have files scaled up to native 4K resolution in adding the display modes to madvr mode switcher - i checked this as well.

Somehow this whole thing does not make sense to me.

So we - well at least i - still have a issue here as i dont know if its madvr or nvidia messing 3D up when 4K is chosen as native resolution for windows.
Can someone else maybe verify this as well?

@Sebastiii I will also check MP later on !

OV again but a different problem. I switched from BBC1 which was working fine, to BBC2 and gave me a couple of seconds of audio (no video) before everything stopped with a black screen, had to close MP with Task Manager. Problem happened a short time after 19:30 this evening, logs and madvr freeze report attached.
BBC2 worked fine after MP restart.

@Sebastiii just checked the option.

I have recognized different things now:

1. untick the option will solve the issue for 3D and 2D. MP goes to fullscreen exclusive directly again
2. option ticked there will be a windowed frame playing the movie in windowed mode first before going fullscree exclusive.
3. Both cases: MP does seem to ignore the refresh mode switcher of madvr as it stays at the normal refresh rate (windows default) and ignores scaling options as well while playing the same file in MPC-HC is working fine

Can someone tell me why MP might be ignoring the view mode switcher from madvr when using 1080p as standard resolution on a 4K display in windows?
It looks like MP is assuming its using a 1080p display and therefore ignoring the display mode switch (its just taking 1080p@60 from the windows settings). In madvr where i have only assigned 2160p modes to have files upscaled.
Same thing is working perfect using MPC-HC while testing.

Somehow MP/madvr even downscales 2160p files to 1080p now

@Sebastiii what does this MP refresh option for 3D inside the MP config do ? How could it prevent MP from going fullscreen exclusive right at the beginning?

Hi

I have no clue and i can't test 4k so will be hard to debug that lol
The 3D switch option for 3D in config does this :
When checked, MP (madVR window) will start as windowed and after 5 seconds will go to fullscreen, i have no clue why but by doing this at least here, MP 3D will be in 3D when nothing checked from madvr config :
If i didn't use this hack, projector will go to 3D, information on screen will tell that i'm in 3D but the video is not (except is something like windows explorer get on top on MP).

When the setting is unchecked, MP (madVR window) will start in fullscreen directly

 

[Sebastiii]

Hey,
I just found why TVS didn't start in fullscreen and maybe it impact OV too
Will supply a build soon

Finished testing for today and i found a solution i can probably live with:

1. windows resolution 3840x2160
2. went through the 3D Vision Wizzard once to ensure settings are correct
3. installed a tool called 3D Vision Toggler - that is able to toggle stereo mode on in the nvidia panel via a shortcut
   • mapped the shortcut to a key combination "windows + 1" which opens the first shortcut placed in the win taskbar and place the toggler .exe at first place in taskbar afterwards
   • mapped "windows + 1" via flirc to a software key on my harmony remote
   • this way i can turn on stereo in the nvidia panel just as i like, the tool even shows a tooltip of the actual status (everything without entering the nvidia panel itself)
4. tested and found out that MP is not able to react to windows font/application scaling settings at least not for 3D movies, it activates 3D but does not sent 3D correctly... looks half 3D (dont know how to say it)
   • so you have to turn off font/application scaling in the windows display settings (for me it was set to 300%)
5. rebooted computer and it is working now

All i have to do now is, whenever i played a 2D video i need to enable the stereo setting in the nvidia panel using the toggler before playing a 3D file (i can put a link in here if someones interested).
And for now i have to live without windows font and application scaling which makes it rather difficult to work from a distance as everything is really small now but i guess thats what i have to go with for the moment at least.

G8 for today

Effectively, on my side windows is set to 100% so maybe other setting break something, i remember that in MP we have done something related to font setting otherwise something didn't work correctly for normal use but i didn't exactly remember what.

But yes interested about the tool etc. it can help other as well
