RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - mkohman - 2018-03-31 @Warner360 thank you so much for your prompt response.. I appreciate it.. I will delete the folder as recommended now..I notice that the frame rate drop has gone from 5hrs to every 4 mins now.. Do you have any tips on how I can improve this? Thank you..

There is no way you can decode a 4K remux by CPU. Even the fastest CPU will stumble. I don't believe you that MPC-HC is fine. How could I prove to you otherwise? I've watched around 15 4k remuxes on MPC-HC without a single stutter. Scenes that drops frames in DSP don't drop any in MPC-HC, just perfectly smooth playback all the way through. I plan to get the 2080 once it releases, so this CPU decoding was only temporary. Just because you don't have an explanation, doesn't mean I'm lying.

Thank you..Read the last paragraph of my previous reply. You can use ReClock with PCM output or create a custom mode. I would live with it if neither of these options is pleasing. I did for years and rarely, if ever, noticed the dropped frames. It is only one frame, not several at a time.

Even the fastest CPU will stumble. I don't believe you that MPC-HC is fine. What kind of CPU do you have? This would be news to me that new CPUs are capable of software decoding. Is this a 1:1 rip, or is it compressed? No one that I've come across has said that a HEVC decoder is not necessary. On the contrary, everyone has said this is a basic requirement for 4K UHD playback. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - mkohman - 2018-03-31 No problem thank you.. I thought reclock was only for Audio.. My bad didn't know it was for sorting out dropped frames too.. I'll probably live with it see how I get on.. Thanks[emoji106] RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - brazen1 - 2018-03-31 UHD is HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) aka h.265 which in essence means you double the compression of the data but produce the same video quality even though it's compressed. Otherwise a video file on a physical disc or your HDD would be about 150GB - 200GB. At the same time, using the same bitrates we are accustomed to, the video quality is improved significantly. Now you need to decode it. For that you can't use the decoder you were using previously (h.264). You need an updated one. HEVC aka h.265. Furthermore, a CPU can't handle this computation because it is trying to SOFTWARE compute it. To do it with ease, you want to HARDWARE decode it. To hardware decode it requires HEVC ability and a sufficient amount of vRAM (not memory in your PC but the memory your GPU is accessing nor CPU strength since it is not doing any decoding) proportionate to the difficulty of the task. Those difficulties include bit rates and refresh rates amongst other things.

The two should produce identical results. My CPU is a 4690k overclocked to 4.7ghz. I believe this cpu supports HEVC decoding, it's just really rough compared to GPU decoding, but I'm a novice so don't quote me.... Here's Coco running perfectly smooth with MPC-HC: https://imgur.com/a/DR5eZ Same exact MadVR profile that DSP is using. Only difference is I can leave it running indefinitely and no stuttering will happen. Even during 'complex' scenes, it will always playback perfectly. As do all my other 1:1 4K remuxes. Something in DSP is making the decoder drop to 0/1. My only suspicion is XySubFilter which doesn't show in taskbar with MPC-HC, but it DOES with DSP. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - Warner306 - 2018-03-31 (2018-03-31, 19:34)Eddie Strike Wrote:Looks fine to me. Your CPU may be able to decode HEVC at 23.976. It is as fast as it gets. Good to know. I still think it would choke at higher frame rates, though. Any CPU can software decode. It is just a matter of being fast enough.(2018-03-31, 19:02)Warner306 Wrote: Both players decode with LAV Video. Compare your settings. The two should produce identical results. I assume hardware acceleration is set to none in DSPlayer? If so, this looks like a bug in DSPlayer. I don't know how to fix it for you. You may have to launch an external player from DSPlayer for your UHD remuxes until you get your new graphics card. That CPU is screaming fast. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - spencerjford - 2018-03-31 @Eddie Strike I believe in mpc-hc lav filters (video) is set to use gpu out of the box, if i am not mistaken... Also, your cpu does not do native hevc decoding. (i have the i7 version and have my oced a little, and it struggles to decode hevc videos. And as you have the i5 version of my processor, and mine struggles, not able to fill the queue at all, I'm certain your's can not, as I have 4 cores 8 threads available, and you have 4 cores, 4 threads..) One question, what video card are you using? From the screenshots, I am seeing NV HDR meaning you have an Nvidia video card. Now in DSPlayer go to player settings and go down to DSPlayer and go to the video filters section and change it from CPU decode to d311 and on the next line select your video card on the list.

One thing to note is that DSP uses 80-90% of my CPU usage, but MPC-HC only uses 55-60%. Something definetly not right there.

RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - spencerjford - 2018-03-31 ahh that 970 can't do it either. also, it's not a problem with DSPlayer, kodi uses more cpu than does MPC. So your setup as is, won't work well at all with DSPlayer. 1050 ti is a suggested upgrade to get smooth performance, and you won't need that OC on your cpu, saving some power/heat.. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - Warner306 - 2018-03-31 (2018-03-31, 20:24)Eddie Strike Wrote:Computer usage that low implies some type of hybrid hardware decoding is going on with MPC-HC. The last step is confirming your settings in LAV Video for MPC-HC. If they are the same, it is a problem with DSPlayer. I don't believe Kodi presents any extra overhead during playback. It is all handled by LAV Filters and madVR.(2018-03-31, 19:40)Warner306 Wrote: I assume hardware acceleration is set to none in DSPlayer? If so, this looks like a bug in DSPlayer.

You would also want to confirm the same versions of LAV Filters are being used. You can update LAV Filters in DSPlayer by replacing the copies in the DSPlayer directory. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - curael - 2018-04-02 (2018-03-31, 05:01)mkohman Wrote: @Warner360, So as you have advised previously I have created 2 profiles within MadVR. A profile for 2160p for chroma upscaling (NGU Sharp low) and the other profile for 1080p movies to upscale to 4K image upscalling (NGU Sharp Medium). I have taken a picture of each profile and I wanted to make sure things look OK .. I can see with the 1080p it is up-scaling to 4K however I am not sure if it is the JVC upscaling or MadVR. The eshift option in the JVC meny shows video 2K but the on or off option is greyed out.. Again with 4K movies it shows as 4K in the JVC MPC menu and the on or off option is greyed out.. I just want to make sure that the JVC is not upscalling and that it's actually MadVR doing the work.. Please see screen shots below to help understand as the setti... Hi, in the render section of your MadVR info, how did you get all the render steps? I can only see the total render time. I'd like to see those in between steps too. Thanks. Btw. your repeated frames are just cause there's a bit of clock deviation between your monitor and the video files fps. Remember that a television tries to keep stable hertz all the time. So it will most likely never achieve perfect 23. Yours is pretty close though. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - oldpainless - 2018-04-02 @Eddie Strike Any reason why you are playing a 23.976 file at 60hz?

We'll just have to hope this gets fixed at some point but i'm not holding my breath. Its a real shame this player doesnt have a full time Dev anymore when its clearly the best one out there by a mile.(2018-03-31, 15:44)mclingo Wrote:You have discovered the problem. It is the D3D11 switch in DSPlayer. madVR profiles work fine, otherwise.(2018-03-30, 02:51)Warner306 Wrote: Hi, the reason I am doing this as you know is there is a bug with RX cards where the wrong colour gamut is output when using 23p for SDR materiel. I cant use source resolution as this effects all resolutions so it would end up turning it off for 4k HDR stuff as well as SDR 4k stuff. I cant understand why it works fine with MPC-HC but not with KODI DS, its setup correctly obviously as it wouldn't work in MPC-HC. |
