Try render method - DXVA-HD.

Thanks, but it the same, can only chose auto or dxva.

Not sure what's going wrong for you but on NVidia systems this settings most likely results in a black screen. This is why I have disabled it in the first stage.

Ok ....but no black screen, just not working.....did you see the settings I posted?

Would a debug log help? Also, can't imagine that running at 4k would cause any issue in being able to select an option.

I am sorry. This feature is not implemented correctly and should have never hit the code base. I reactivated it for users, mostly AMD, who were used to it and complained about regression. My time is limited and I can't support this for systems it had never worked anyway.

I am using this successfully on a 660Ti. This is all I have in my advancedsettings.xml:

<advancedsettings>
<video>
<dxvaallowhqscaling>true</dxvaallowhqscaling>
</video>
</advancedsettings>

Perhaps try a clean install of the most recent Kodi nightly?

for me this is working. the advancedsettings xml above should be correct. i have render methode set to dxva

Your honesty is awesome, however, I don't think its your fault. I'll try some of the other suggestions, and, if, that does not work, then perhaps a debug might help.

Solved - human error on my side - incorrectly named advancedsettings.xml.xml

Thanks so much for your hard work - it works perfect!!!!

First post updated updated to new build

Testing:
When testing, please check:
render method set to PS/DXVA
scaling methods DXVA/Bicubic/Lanczos3/Spline36 and their "optimized" versions.

Please also add "AE_ENGINE = ACTIVE" to your Windows environment variables

Environment name: AE_ENGINE
Environment value: ACTIVE

That link doesn't work anymore. Is it a user or system variable?

The AE_ENGINE stuff is not needed anymore if you are trying to add that.

I read in another thread or bug report that it might help make Blu-ray seamless branching playback work more smoothly.
