[WiP] madVR support in MP1 (20 Viewers)

[d3cadent]

Not exactly.
All menu screens flicker, even when video is not playing. Examples are EPG screen, or TV/Recorded programs.
During playback, it's acceptable. Seeking is slower when using madVR, but otherwise quite okay.
What I can't recall by heart right now is, whether flickering appears before watching something. I am sure it's there after stopping liveTV or some recording.
I will gather logs as soon as I can.

If u are watching EPG but got TV playing in mini mode it will flash but it will not flash if TV is off. You can try it by going to EPG without starting TV.

At least this is how it was last time i tried it with my IGPU.

Just saw this one:

madVR v0.91.10

* improved Windows 10 HDR metadata support
* added new option "hack Direct3D to make 24.000Hz and 60.000Hz work"
* performance improvement with "trust DXVA" + "use D3D11 for presentation"
* fixed: Intel GPU driver flickering bug with "use D3D11 for presentation"
* fixed: madVR(64).ax files were larger than necessary
* Intel: 10bit DXVA surfaces are now converted to 10bit RGB (instead of 8bit)

It says for D3D11 but it might work in our case too, nothing to loose in trying it.

Unfortunately i am too busy lately to do any madVR troubleshooting so if someone got the time it would be nice to know if this issue is finally resolved with the latest madVR release.

i use v91.10 since a week or so...great maintenance release
but the mepo menu flicker hasnt really changed with it and that igpu fixes seem to be for d3d11 usage only and some other flickering things...
btw. dont use d3d11 if you dont have to ^^
here my settings on a historic igpu 2500

its nearly flikka free

Hi Seb,

Could you test something for me. I suspect my htpc has a diver issue or some other (user) error

In video section > subtitle > select XYSubFilter.
MadVR as renderer.

My experience is, no matter what settings I put in MadVR, smooth video untill the moment the first subtitle is drawn. After this, frames are repeated / dropped and a visible judder is seen in the movie.
Same settings with MPC-HC subtitle renderer, issue is gone.

I just need to check if its only my system, or a combination error somewhere.
If you can reproduce, I will post logs.

(Sorry, using latest 1.17 pre, but I suspect the MadVR response might be similar as latest build from this thread/1.16Final)

Just for information purpose for the interested ones. I try to use Auto3D plugin, and like XYSubFilter to convert 2D > 3D subtitles.

HI i will try with XySubfiler, madVR talk directly with the subfilter so it can be an issue with madVR itself but will test asap

 

[Sebastiii]

i just tested : for .srt and 60Hz screen for a 25 fps movie on dev PC :

Filter is not connected but working
It seems that i didn't get dropped frame.

Will try another sample

 

[Sebastiii]

Another sample and seems OK all smooth before and after the first sub :

@edterbak does it occurs on all sources 2d/3d?
i remember that xysub once had some problems with italic and special fonts and with the madvr zoom settings in the recent past...
and i also tried a bit sbs 3d with xysubs, whether with or without auto3d plugin enabled (even tried with that inbuild auto3d sub feature-but that doesnt seem to work at all^^)
no additional judder or whatever frame drops...

the htpc i used was still on win 1607, lav nightly 69-79, madvr 91.10, mepo 1.16 final (and auto3d 1.16) with xysubfilter 3.1.0.746

hi, THanks for testing you both.
I have this issue still. Here is the the debug log.
I see this behaviour with any movie. 2d. Havent tested in 3d yet, but my bet is that its there as well.

ill try to grab screenshots

just tried to grab screenshots. F11 gives me black screens.
