Set present frame in advance to 1 in MadVR (Exclusive mode & Non-Exclusive , the one you're gonna use, Mine use Exclusive) Disable MadVR refresh rate change. Enable Kodi Auto-adjust refresh rate. Mine set to start/stop & 4.6s. Yours can be varied. With Kodi, you don't wamt tp use madVR refresh rate change. Because after 1 playback stop sometimes madVR would stuck in that mode. That's meant GUI would probably render on madVR 24p mode which is not good. It could be help if you experienced GUI lag when playback stop. GUI when playback is ongoing is different matter. So use Kodi built-in refresh rate change instead and it works the same.

But, like oldpoem said, ffdshow audio would do a better job. I don't think it eats up a lot of resources sitting on your computer. It wouldn't make sense to add such a mixer to DSPlayer when there are already filters that do a fine job. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - oldpoem - 2015-04-04 (2015-04-04, 06:43)Warner306 Wrote: I also think using height would do the trick: 576 is height for PAL SD. So I wouldn't separate it. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - aracnoz - 2015-04-04 guys this morning I realized that kodi has it's own procedure for tags 720p, 1080p, etc etc so I followed the rules of kodi, now this it's the rule Code: if (iWidth == 0 || iHeight == 0) RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - madshi - 2015-04-04 Sorry, but all those width/height tests so far are no good. E.g. anamorphic PAL after stretching ends up as 1024x576. That is still PAL SD. The better solution (used by XySubFilter, mpv and XySubFilter) is to take both width and height into account. Here's what madVR does: Code: if (width > 1050 || height > 576) madVR only needs to differ between SD and HD, to switch to the correct decoding matrix etc. Of course you can add detection for 720p and 1080p and 2160p etc. But always keep in mind that custom encodes often remove the black bars. So e.g. 2.35:1 720p ends up as 1280x540. And 4:3 720p becomes 960x720. Both are still considered HD content, because the original source was 720p. Compare that to anamorphic PAL which is 1024x576. So anamorphic PAL is wider than cropped 4:3 720p, and it has more height than cropped 2.35:1 720p. So you can see that looking at either the height or width alone is no good. You always need to check both. And please do make sure that you don't confuse cropped 720p content with anamorphic PAL. If I may suggest, consider anamorphic PAL as SD content, and consider 720p sources (even when cropped) as 720p. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - aracnoz - 2015-04-04 yesterday my brain was running like crazy... this morning, instead does not work as he should now the build it's done , i don't know if everything's it's alright because there are too many variables we have to test it @madshi in fact 1024x576 in kodi it's tagged as 720p... anyway i must follow the kodi gui tags procedure because if we set an 1024x576 as a SD and then the gui show the tag 720p it will make only confusion RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - hlina - 2015-04-04 Thanks to all you guys for your great work! I have switched to dsplayer a couple of years ago in order to make use of frame interpolation (SVP). I was particularly interested to see madVRs smooth motion, so I now tried using madvr, but kodi tends to crash very easily with this option (it just freezes and must be stopped, no entry in the log file). It is enough to press left/right mouse button a few times when playing a video or some keys on the keyboard like , e.g., "B". I am, however, not sure, if I have messed up my setting at some point. Maybe sombody has already run into this issue and knows a solution? RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - aracnoz - 2015-04-04 @hlina you can try to lower "how many video frames shall be presented in advance" in madVR tryicon RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - steelman1991 - 2015-04-04 (2015-04-04, 11:44)hlina Wrote: Thanks to all you guys for your great work!

If an HD (BT.709 should be its code IIRC) color matrix is applied to a PAL signal, color reproduction is wrong (not hugely so but then again... all the pain to get madVR in Kodi should be worth something). Also, a PAL anamorphic stream simply is not 720p. Not by any accepted definition. But all this pales in comparison to my surprise, today, at discovering all the incredible work that has gone on in DSPlayer. I lost sight of it and today I find out you got madVR integration... WOW!!! Thanks so much! Thanks to madshi, which is making my life happier since getting 1:1 pixel mapping on my old Panasonic 50" plasma monitor. Hats off to you. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - oldpoem - 2015-04-04 I'd say for now follow Kodi rules. And raise issue in official Kodi forums.

That's interesting... As far as i know, correct me please if i'm wrong, u only need to turn off 16:9 overscan in the set up menu of the Panasonic (Viera V20 here), to get 1:1 pixel mapping. I've always assumed i was getting it. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - Cinder - 2015-04-04 Has anyone setup a working DSPlayer + madVR + SVP? I'm trying to do this, but I can't quite get it to work, I've been following Warner306's guide for setting up madVR in DSPlayer, and then got the DSPlayer FFDShow starter pack configs (SVP need FFDShow to run right?), but when using these configs no videos start in Kodi, nothing happens. The difference I see in mediasconfig compared to the SVP Teams' own configs for Kodi, is that in their config the source is said to be "lavfsplitter", this launches videos, Warner306's config says source is "lavsource", and doesn't manage to launch videos. Using lavfsplitter as source videos manage to start and seem to be using madVR, however I have constant frame drops, probably averaging 1 frame dropped per second. Also splitter is "lavf_splitter" vs "lavsplitter". Anyone got any ideas of why lavsource doesn't run, and/or what I can do to stop the frame drops? I have ReClock installed and set up - do I need to change something in its settings to avoid the drops? Also I would like to know if there is a way to do a side-by-side comparison of madVR on and madVR off? I'm having a hard time distinguishing between changes to the image, and in some cases I find there is no difference between madVR and EVR renderers, is it possible that the differences are that small, or are they usually very clear? Thanks for your awesome work on this player, I have SVP running perfectly since before, and now I'm trying to get some madVR goodness into it as well. I'm curious to see if my A8-7600K with GTX 960 can handle both. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - aracnoz - 2015-04-04 i fixed some introduced bug in default save settings - changes per file were not saved if you only changed the scaling parameters - were not loaded the default setting for sd @Cinder for me on videos < 1080p the differences are really clear, with my settings, between EVR and madVR it is impossible to say otherwise, maybe it's more difficult to notice differences for anyone with a native 1080p video on a fullhd tv but i want to add something on this because for me it's useless compare two static frame to determine if there is improvement in picture quality, as has been done several times in the past, I think that the images should be seen in motion, this for many aspect. This is my thought, maybe I'm just saying stupid things, let me only say that i'm really happy of madvr performance even over a 1080p |
