A few questions on settings. I do not have 3D, and use a 1080p plasma (720p60, 1080p24, 1080p60, 1080p23, 1080i59, 1080p59)
I watch a mix of content (480/720/1080 & 4K (downsampled to 1080).
Do I enable:
MP Config: Dynamic Refresh Rate?
MP Config: Ignore Windows Resolution/size changes in fullscreen mode?
MP Config: Use Workaround FCU blackscreen fix?
MP Config: MadVR: Use Internal refresh rate?
MadVR: Windowed Overlay?
MadVR: FSE Mode?
MadVR: DX11?
MadVR: Seperate Device(s)?

Thanks for any help!

hi guys. a lot to read after vacation, nice

@Sebastiiii just whooped the new version on latest insider with new nvidia hdr driver but didnt came far... only 2 videos to be exact^^
with a running video playback when i open a new file the pc briefly freezes followed by a direct restart sadly reproducible

@biship hard to say without your exact specs... ati/nvidia or intel???
i dont remember them, but in general start with defaults to see if it works this way. only edit the display rates within madvr to match your tv/display...

NVIDIA 1060. Mostly using DXVA2 to do the scaling.

wow a 1060 and no need for 4k and dxva upscaling no joke?
so set lav to copy-back u can go for ngu all the way...
MP Config: Dynamic Refresh Rate?-- no need
MP Config: Ignore Windows Resolution/size changes in fullscreen mode?-- no need if it works without
MP Config: Use Workaround FCU blackscreen fix?- no need if it works without
MP Config: MadVR: Use Internal refresh rate?-- internal refresh rate means the mepo refresh rate changer...so no need see first ^^
MadVR: Windowed Overlay? -- broken
MadVR: FSE Mode? -- no need if it works without
MadVR: DX11? -- enabled by default
MadVR: Seperate Device(s)? -- also broken somehow but dev. no need
but as I said before, first look at whether the defaults run
than may try with my scaling settings from a 1060 6g. i like it damn sharp

It's the NVIDIA driver, it did the same to me. Going back to 388.71 has stabilised my system again. Hate it when this happens because you have to 'audition' each new driver update until it stops doing it.

Ok someone get me an axe. I closed this post, opened MP, started TV. Within 5 minutes madVR crash. Not a full reboot like from 390.XX but still strange after 2 days of stability. I long for a W10 patch because the FCU update seems to be where the pain started. A rebuild sans FCU is tempting right now.

Yes I have the same feeling, not sure where I am. Are the problems with the test versions (including 1.19pre), FCU(1709) or the latest AMD GPU drivers (lots of posts on the AMD drivers forum but that is always very volatile). I think I will drop back to 1.18 which is very stable on my HTPC (1703 still) and take it from there.
@Sebastiii the Core_Joecrow did not include the FCU fix option, was that correct?

 

[Sebastiii]

Yep it starting to drive me crazy and a lot of work @ work
Not sure what happen and this fu.......g issue about the D3D null reference exception that happen randomly, i really need to reproduce it and also test on EVR to be sure it's not Windows / Drivers or what ever that lead to those issues !!!!

What do you want me to test Seb? I give you some options:

• EVR on current MP build with latest NVIDIA
• EVR on current MP build with previous NVIDIA
• madVR on current MP with pre 1703 W10

I've just cloned my existing setup ready to try an earlier W10, but I could also stay on the latest and see if we can get that stable. Happy to help. You've gone too far to give up now buddy
