Stereoscopic 3D rendering: Stereoscopic 3D rendering is only enabled on systems that have all the components that are stereoscopic 3D-capable. These components include 3D-capable display hardware, graphics hardware, peripherals, and software applications. System requirements: 1. Windows 8 and later. 2. WDDM 1.2 video driver. (To check version of driver please run dxgiag on your PC and look at Driver Model at the Display section.) 3. DirectX 10 capable and higher video hardware. 4. 3D-capable display. Also you need enable checkbox Stereo 3D settings for all supported displays in Screen Resolution control panel, as shown here: Note for NVIDIA owners: You have to install NVIDIA® 3DTV Play™ to be able to use hardware based stereoscopic 3D feature. Changes: The changes are quite obvious. A full upgrade to the DirectX11 implementation and moving away from DirectX9 while keeping the backwards compatibility for past videocards and drivers to some extend. November 12

RE: Windows DirectX 11 upgrade test thread - afedchin - 2015-02-13 @da-anda, Please provide _debug_ log. your log file is not debug log.

Hardware: Windows 7 64bit, Intel® HD Graphics 2500 driver version 0.18.10.3496 Debug Log: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=425408 Description: - The kodi logo looks a little blurry. - Main sub-menu fonts disappearing - Mouse control slow RE: Windows DirectX 11 upgrade test thread - da-anda - 2015-02-13 @afedchin - updated link to a real debug log now (once I figured which guisetting to manually change) RE: Windows DirectX 11 upgrade test thread - afedchin - 2015-02-13 @da-anda, Thanks. The log file did not throw any light on the problem. In next version I'll add more debug messages. P.S. For debug log level I prefer use as.xml Edit: very strange. I've even launched Kodi successfully on my virtual machine with Win8.1 x64. Looks like driver issue. Can you try to disable ATI card and try launch with Intel HD GPU? RE: Windows DirectX 11 upgrade test thread - poplap - 2015-02-13 Tested it for a moment or two, enough to get the library imported and try watching a few videos. I have the home submenus missing, item's text vanish from the list same for things like settings. Can be fixed by exiting and entering fullscreen mode again. Couldn't get any the videos I tested to work though they had sound, they were streaming off a SMB share, h.264 format (what my library consists of). Took two logs though I'm not sure if it was recording to log after switching so i relaunched it and tested the videos again. Put up the videos, logs, screenshots, and what not on my google drive (Will take down the videos in a few days for legal reasons): https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7B-FIcwGkY5MkYybGE4Wm16VEU&usp=sharing KodiSetup-20150213-f0de75a-dx11 log 1: http://pastebin.com/Z87eAgr6 log 2: http://pastebin.com/DfJrR0Mw Specs: Windows 8.1 64-bit Intel Core i5-4670K 16GB RAM AMD R9 270X - Driver version: 14.501.1003-141120a-178000C (14.12) RE: Windows DirectX 11 upgrade test thread - da-anda - 2015-02-13 there is no IntelHD graphics in my laptop - only the ATI. And with ATI disabled and using Microsoft fallback driver I still have the same issue. Dxdiag shows me that DX11 is installed (it's shipped with Win8.1 anyways IIRC) RE: Windows DirectX 11 upgrade test thread - Martijn - 2015-02-13 @da-anda uploaded a new build where he added more debug info RE: Windows DirectX 11 upgrade test thread - da-anda - 2015-02-13 just tried uninstalling the ATI driver and use the windows driver - same issue. Will test with the new build. edit: lol, this build is starting up just fine. I did both times a full setup to ensure it installs all requirements. Really strange. I found a bug:
RE: Windows DirectX 11 upgrade test thread - afedchin - 2015-02-13 @da-anda, Please, check with this new build in debug log why first try of creating device has failed. I think this message should be in the log. I think what DXVA2 Contrast issue depends on GPU. I've checked twice in the sources it should works. I also have checked on my htpc and it works fine. RE: Windows DirectX 11 upgrade test thread - afedchin - 2015-02-13 @poplap, Thanks for your feedback. 1) Can you try same with integrated GPU? 2) Try to disable dxva decoding and with various render methods. This need to determine a possible reason of issue. RE: Windows DirectX 11 upgrade test thread - Martijn - 2015-02-14
RE: Windows DirectX 11 upgrade test thread - da-anda - 2015-02-14 @afedchin - here is the debug log from my now starting version. Hope the info you are looking for is in there. Regarding DXVA2 - It's just odd that the setting in general is working, just not any value between low and high. |
