    FALL CREATOR UPDATE (1709) WORKAROUND : (Black screen issue)
    So this new option 'Use workaround FCU...' permit to enable/disable the fix for the black screen issue on Fall Creator Update 1709 (FCU), it is not a perfect fix, I mean it works but the screen flicker because to give back MP GUI, the only way found for now is to minimize and restore MP.

    upload_2018-1-9_19-27-38.png


    Updated Auto3D plugin 1.16.0.4 (Added 3D MVC option and fix) :)
    Updated Auto3D plugin 1.16.0.6 (Needed V407 build) :)
    Updated Auto3D plugin 1.16.0.7 (Needed V407 build or higher) :)

    Upgrade doesn't go? (no prob :p)


    1- Start the full installer
    2- Close it
    3- Start Win key + R and type the following :

    Code:
    %temp%\MediaPortal Installation\deploy

    and execute files, the 'package-tvengine.exe' is if you are using the TV part (server or client) and when exe is started, you will have to do next -> next -> next until the end :p

    upload_2018-1-6_20-18-15-png.195223


    With this, the upgrade will works :)

    This method works for all FULL installer, this means that if you want to go back to the official release, you can do the same as above.

    Testing
    Upgrade your current 1.15 installation and try :
    Please do not forget to give some feedback with log (also if there is no bug). Thank you!
    That's all

    Changelog
    V305: Reworked stop handler to avoid the issue when a dialog start to be displayed on shutdown (for ex Trakt rating).
    V328/329 :
    - The 800% didn't work (under MPC-HC it works for ex), it's related to GPU memory, MP used more GPU memory.
    - Screenshot with OSD/GUI is not scaled when using other value than 100% (need to ask madshi if he can be fixed on the madVR side).
    (Because selecting a value higher than 100%, madVR create the second image to resize it based on the percentage selected value but missing the resize of the OSD/GUI).
    V371/378 :
    - Trying to handle the device reset send by madVR when a resolution change is triggered or when 3D / HDR from windows is activated
    - It should solve the 3D issue for exclusive mode
    - It attempts also to solve a random issue on stop (in fact when madVR is releasing, somehow sometimes and after a while MP get stuck because madVR need to have something displayed on TOP of MP window to fully continue the release, it can be a task manager window/start menu or whatever) so added a thread that will process window manager process to trying to avoid such, right now I have a good result for this :p

    Known issues :
    • 'enable windowed overlay (windows 7 and newer' (rendering / general settings option) should be avoided because it can create the dark screen issue.
    • Flickering can happen on some screen (TVGuide with EPG full filled) (there is a hack to slow down rendering in Viedo Renderer MP config)
    • Some OSD is not refreshed (information from TVSeries, for example, happen with exclusive mode but not always)
    • AtmoLight and screenshot will not work if D3D11 (DX11)/Use another presenter is in use, current code gets only D3D9 (DX9) device interface provided from madVR.
    • Some plugins need to be updated (like OnlineVideos attached in this post)
    • Depend on the madVR setting, the 'disable low latency setting' can avoid displaying GUI (when dithering - Error diffusion option1 or 2 is enabled)
    Settings based on different Win10 version :

    I did hear about this codec, but never used it before. What can I expect quality wise? I mostly use 10 gig 1080p mkv movies and hdtv and web dl for series.

    It's a video renderer that recently should support 3D for example but much more :)
    We can find more information on official website : http://madvr.com/ :p

    Thanks, this is great news.
    I have a problem though. The compiled version-number won't allow Argus TV to work. It somehow can't set the correct version the way you have named it so it complains the versions differ. Could this be fixed somehow?
    Works fine with 1.14pre.

    Can't wait to try this out. Thanks for the efforts as always MP team. Do you think I should remove the ffdshow upscale when using this? I would have thought it would negate it.

    It's a build for MP (release with number) so for now seems not compatible with argus sorry :(

    Can't wait to try this out. Thanks for the efforts as always MP team. Do you think I should remove the ffdshow upscale when using this? I would have thought it would negate it.

    I don't know but surely, the build is for testing and i'm not the one who dev it, but surely some new dev can help with the project :)

    Have just tested, it works except doesn't return to MP after the video or TV. The Shift1 menu doesn't seem to be populated either. I'll grab some logs..actual playback seemed fine, once I set a reasonable madVR config.
