Gents, this thread is 360 pages long, no chance to find an answer - forgive me for asking a potential double.
I have an Intel Core i5-embedded video hardware, attached to my TV via HDMI.
MadVR produces fantastic results during movie/livetv. However, when showing menu screens, there's heavy flickering. I tried to play around with parameters, but haven't really found out how to prevent this. Did someone manage to get rid of flickering?
Hi,
thanks for your response.
I still don't have the winning combination, just wanted to respond to you.
BTW, did you eventually find the settings which do not cause stuttering?
I find it somewhat hard to understand where the problem lies. Stuttering appears when menus are displayed and no video is played - thus, the madVR renderer is not even running by that time.
Anyway, I will continue digging, it's just hard to find a time window long enough to experiment - without family complaining for the unavailable TV
When using madVR, madVR is always used and OSD is send with madVR video and somehow on IntelGPU there is this stuttering, it can be because GPU is not used at full speed.
I need to try to reproduce it on my laptop with IGPU but i have past so many days to try to fix it with no luck, the best setting was like i said above but it's a workaround
Otherwise another GPU is needed for now if any combination didn't work
I was hoping that with new Intel GPU drivers it will be better but seems not

Maybe my explanation is not correct
When no video is playing then madVR is not used.
But as soon as a video is played, madVR is used for rendering GUI + VIDEO
That's how I imagined in the first place.
There certainly is flickering when only menu screen is shown, no video playing.
The problem may be related to which HW acceleration technique is used.
Normally, without madVR, I use Intel QuickSync. That's rather smooth, with the lowest CPU load. However, with madVR, QS gives about 1-2fps. Switching to DXVA2 Native, all seems to be good - just the menus flicker
Anyway, I was hoping someone managed to fiddle enough with this to figure out the best combination, which doesn't really seem to be the case... Maybe there is no true solution yet?
BTW, is this really the right topic to discuss, or is there a more appropriate one?
For now there is no other topic
Just to be clear lol.
The menu is flickering after you have started to play something (liveTV or video) even if the video is not visible.
Can you clean your logs and start the issue and post the log ?
Use watchdog tool and try with first option.
Thanks.
