With the same Film 23.976 fps, I made a comparison Audio Renderer, Reclock and Sanear.
These are the results taken after 1 hour of play, I submit to your judgment union every evaluation.

Reclock :

Display = 23.97142 Hz
Clock Deviation = - 0.01934%
1 Frame every Repeat = 20.81 Hours
Dropped Frames = 0
Repeated Frames = 0
Delayed Frames = 0
Presentation Glitches = 0

----------------------------------------------------------------

Sanear :

Display = 23.97141 Hz
Clock Deviation = 0.00223%
1 Frame every Dropped = 3.23 Minutes
Dropped Frames = 18
Repeated Frames = 0
Delayed Frames = 0
Presentation Glitches = 0

Where is it the best control with Audio Renderer Sanear ? Quite puzzled!

The clock deviation in ReClock is not accurate.

Anyone else can confirm these two issues I'm having?

1) Switching madVR's level settings (via ctrl + alt + shift + i or the "levels" tag) does absolutely nothing to the black level (i.e. it can't be corrected). I'm suspecting this is somehow Kodi-related because over on the Doom9 forum madVR users are saying they can't reproduce this issue.

2) Many times when clicking on a video title to play it, the title text starts scrolling sideways at a crazy speed as the "Working" notification is shown. Sometimes Kodi freezes completely at this stage or takes unusually long before playback starts. Could this be a LAV filter issue? I've updated madVR a couple of times after the last DSplayer build but I'm still using the same internal filte. This issue seems to have appeared only recently but I can't pinpoint what was updated before it started happening.

1) I have madVR set to Full 0 - 255 on two displays. It is outputting correct levels.

2) Sometimes DSPlayer is slow to load but all appears normal once loaded. I do have some crashes where the player immediately crashes. It is rare but does happen.

AFAIK for Amazon Prime, Netflix or other DRM streaming, It won't work with DSPlayer since all video would be DRM locked from source to display. Kodi v17 addon would work as another gui frontend it recieves inputstream as-is and display it as-is.

The clock deviation in ReClock is not accurate.

From what follows that the clock deviation in ReClock is not accurate.
Possible solution , than at sanear making a dropped frames every 3.23 Minutes?

2) Sometimes DSPlayer is slow to load but all appears normal once loaded. I do have some crashes where the player immediately crashes. It is rare but does happen.

1) The problem is not incorrect black levels but not being able to correct levels of badly encoded clips by changing the level. In other words PC, TV, doubleExp or tripleExp all look the same. I've tried setting everything to full RGB as well as my usual GPU full + all else limited setup. Are you not encountering this issue?

2) As soon as I hit play, the title text starts scrolling over and over so fast you can't even read it. Then playback starts normally or in more rare cases Kodi freezes. It doesn't seem to be file dependent either. I've never seen this crazy scrolling before but yesterday for example it was happening most of the time, though not always. I'm just trying to rule out the culprit by making sure if anyone else is experiencing this. I could try updating the LAV package.

FINAL EDIT: For a shorter version, see my followup post below.

EDIT2: UHD -> 1080p downscaling only works with internal LAV filters and I have no idea why. Rendering time more than doubles.

EDIT: I modded the existing internal filters & media xml's based on whatever rules DSplayer had created inside my userdata folder and things seem to work now (confirmed by OSD to be using non-internal LAV now). Somewhat complicated but I'll just back everything up to avoid doing it again.

Is there a guide somewhere that shows how to switch to LAV media rules instead of the internal filters? For example, in filtersconfig.xml, I can only find lavsource_internal but not "regular" lavsource.

I installed the LAV package, copy-pasted the up-to-date filters to the Kodi folder and added them in DSplayer's "Filters configuration" but I have no idea what exactly to put into the "Media rules" section. Basically, I just want LAV filters to be used exactly the same way as the internal filters are by default, i.e. just switch the internal LAV to regular LAV and otherwise keep everything the same. I thought maybe editing filtersconfig.xml would be the way but it's missing some LAV equivalents for the internal LAV filters.

I can't get any videos to play right now.

To make the above mess of a post short (apologies for that): it seems I can update LAV filters just by copy-pasting the updated files to the folder dsplayer - LAVFilters and keep using the internal rules as before. Hooray! I just made it way too complicated.

Could be a good solution nice 1, let us know if it works better or breaks; as I'll do the same?

Ta d.

Test #1 with MPC-HC. This will tell you if DSPlayer is ignoring settings for brightness and contrast, it that's what you are talking about.

Try this: DSPlayer Starter Kit

[gotham_x]

Warner306 , installed this DSPlayer Starter Kit , in (Filters Management) You must be changed setting at (Media Rulles and Filters Configuration) or should be left setting (Internal Filters)

Warner, isn't simply copy-pasting up-to-date LAV files to the dsplayer -> LAVFilters folder enough? No need for a starter kit or modifying any xml's if all I want to do is update LAV and continue using the default internal filter config/rules, right?

Sure, that would also work.

Thanks. This your Starter Kit , with which frequency it is updated ?
