[WiP] madVR support in MP1 (15 Viewers)

[Sebastiii]

Yep those log are normal, it's happening and because the video is re-positioned or hidden (related to how skin handle it)
Ok thanks.

Just wondered because the most planescene in log occured all after I opened the guide once (with the nasty flickering )

thanks for the tip @HomeY but I've had it quite similar (see old setting screen)
and also funny, that now i had to uncheck just the reduced frame and only use the disabled low latency mode to get rid of the drops...
so for them who may struggle with similar things hers my new "crappy igpu cure"

And does the MP GUI is OK ?

On my side if this option is selected : 'Error diffu.... option 1 or 2' and on MP config 'Disable latency' then MP GUI is black
It seems that option make some higher rendering time and maybe why the GUI is black, but setting this option to all other one (except error diff....) then it works
In fact those tweak/workaround option in MP config need to be adapted/tested for each user lol, it doesn't always give the same result

The reduced frame is a bad hack to try to slow rendering (for the flicker issue) but still it surely trigger some issue lol

Yep, it is nearly flicker free its ok for now
old setting was almost flick free at that time but i will see
with igpu diffuse error wont work good anyway... so back on real htpc^^
tried the dither blackness with low latency disabled yep it happend here too, also on the fly^^
if i select a diff. setting in madvr, d3d11 on or off, and full blackscreen with myvideos

and i also remembered with earlier madvr/lav versions error diffusion dither option leads to a green pixelated screen with older nvidia cards, amd was better with it...

Thanks for confirming and happy that it works

Just updated to test build v327 and am happy to report that the issue I had with D3D11 decoding when restarting playback of a video from some place other than the beginning of the file is gone.

I have a question for the devs: I check "Disable low latency rendering mode" to avoid having the GUI flicker when it is displayed at the same time as a video, and the delay is fine with me when navigating through the menus, however there is one place where it is annoying which is the zap/skip steps OSD.
Could it be possible to add an option "Disable low latency rendering except on zap/skip OSD" if it is technically feasible?

Hi
Hmm i don't think it was easy to add because when GUI is rendering, it's the GUI rendering (topbar / OSD / etc.).
The 'disable low latency' option is to try to avoid to have the GUI responsive and then trying to avoid flickering because the GUI is becoming slow.
When this option is checked, it permit to avoid the present queue set to 2/2 and but the GUI is rendering slowly.

If the option is not checked and then you have all working good, then better to keep it like this.

If you have flickering, you can play with the other option (reduce frame), the reduce frame should only happened when the GUI is displayed

For ex, on my laptop, changing some value in present frame in advance and flush setting, permit to reduce a lot the fickering (TV Guide is a good candidate on my side lol).

hello
what annoys with zap/osd? delay or flicker? @el Filou
because the findings with the 'disable low latency' option differs so much from the hardware that's used, what happens exactly?
if you don't need a high quality downscaling and you have a lot dropped frames especially with osd and video at the same time, perhaps play also with a lower madvr image downscaling setting e.g. bicubic 60 ar, dxva...also pretty dependent on the hardware used but it can help reducing guide flicker without any extra options set in mepo
