It's very strange indeed. It just works now. I didn't do anything. The log is different now.

NOTICE: CDVDVideoCodecFFmpeg::Open() Using codec: HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding)

Not sure why or how. But all seems good now.

[aracnoz]

yes i was trying to figure out why in your case it was failing to catch information from streamdetails...

anyway i just made a quickly test build with the new parameter "videocodec" also for rule definition

can you pls guys test if works also for you by setting the rule from kodi GUI

obviously it's needed to create two rules in this way, the first one with videocodec set with "hevc" and the other one without any string in videocodec

It works.

Code:

Also I have a suggestion. Since order is important in this case, could you implement something like moving rules up/down in GUI ?

[ashlar]

oldpoem, are you finding this Lentoid codec faster than LAV with hardware decoding (which should offload at least partially to the GPU, if I understand things correctly)? I have a GTX 660 in my HTPC and I was wondering what would be the fastest decoding option.

Has anyone gotten SVP4 working with FFDShow Raw filters? I was able to get the latest version of SVP3 to work but not the new public-free release of SVP4

Does MadVR do 10bit 4:4:4 on 4k? I Bought a new TV but some professionells are saying that 4:4:4 10bit 4k is impossible since HDMI 2.0 can't handle it.

I'm unsure if my new TV does 4:4:4 on 24Hz as well, they only stated that it does 8bit 4:4:4 at 50/60Hz with PC mode on and UHD color on.

Should i thus decrease native bitdepth to -> 8bit, and disable DX11 10bit?

The Blurays i have are encoded in 4:2:0 and probably 8bit color, if i understood correctly, MadVR will upscale it to 4:4:4 RGB & 10bit?

4:2:0 = 8 Bits
4:2:2 = 10 Bits
4:4:4 = 12 Bits?

i already made something different with the same final purpose, i cannot add some button to move up/down the rules because i have to use the dialog that come with official kodi, create a custom dialog it's impossible because i should add the new "template" for each skin

I just checked wiki, if i understood correctly, MadVR will upscale everything? Rec 2020 is stated to be everything (Bitdepth, colorspace, chroma subsampling). Which is -> 10bit, RGB32, 4:4:4. (Standard Blu-Ray being 8bit bpc, YUV, 4:2:0)

HDMI 2.0 supports the Rec. 2020 color space.[16] HDMI 2.0 can transmit 12-bit per sample RGB at a resolution of 2160p and a frame rate of 24/25/30 fps or it can transmit 12-bits per sample 4:2:2/4:2:0 YCbCr at a resolution of 2160p and a frame rate of 50/60 fps

I'm not sure if MadVR is touching bitdepth and colorspace. But chroma does get scaled to 4:4:4. I'm not sure what 10bit dithering is...

This brings a new issue to my mind, My nvidia control panel has only 8/12bpc and not 10, but MadVR can only select 8/9/10bpc?

HDR without the "HDR" trademark is rec 2020 with same settings but bpc set to 10 (not 12) + ignoring Dolby Perceptual Quantizer.

Observed from pressing "O" during playback, Lentoid is quite faster than LAV on h265. On my i3 system / Nvidia GT630 sometimes it can reduce CPU load up to 20% difference on the same test file.

I believe they went alternative way and doesn't use FFDShow RAW / AVISynth anymore. So unless they added DSPlayer to their supported player, it won't work for now.

4:4:4 is a description of chroma subsampling using the Y'CbCr color space. madVR will output as RGB, which is 4:4:4 (or equivalent). Some TVs will want to convert the RGB output back to Y'CbCr. This could mean down-converting to 4:2:2 or 4:4:4. This would remain true regardless of the bit depth (8 or 10-bit).

In either case, this should not make much of a difference. There is a 4:4:4 test image in the Image Scaling section of the set-up guide if you are curious what your TV does to the signal. But 10-bit RGB is, of course, possible with any TV.

RGB is measured in bits per channel: 8-bits per channel or 10-bits per channel.

So, RGB 4:4:4 at 10 bits would be equal to 30 bits. RGB 4:2:2 would be 20 bits.

I think I'll report to madshi the issue of aspect ratio not switching properly between 4:3/16:9 in http(s) stream even when using Kodi Normal view. In the meantime, if any of you have such a stream available and could check what happens with the latest madVR + DSPlayer (does 4:3 get stretched? What does madVR OSD say? etc.), I think it could be helpful.

It looks like a madVR scaling/black bar detection issue (just an uneducated guess) that started happening after one of the recent updates. I initially thought it could be DSPlayer because I must have updated both at the same time and the DSPlayer changelog mentioned something about updated zoom functionality.

i think that you should try with this madVR build madVR08821.zip that it's before any zoom control options was added

I finally had a little time to test and this indeed seems to be a DSPlayer bug that got introduced with the Oct 4th release.

1) Latest DX11 Kodi test build (from the Kodi site) + DVDPlayer = Normal view mode doesn't force stretch 4:3 into 16:9
2) Latest "regular" Kodi build + DVDPlayer = Normal view mode doesn't force stretch 4:3 into 16:9
3) DSPlayer of any build before Oct 4th + any madVR version = Normal view mode doesn't force stretch 4:3 into 16:9
4) Both DSPlayer builds from October + madVR (any version, incl. the one aracnoz helpfully linked) = Normal view mode force stretches 4:3 into 16:9 (or rather retains the picture in 16:9 ratio and doesn't switch to 4:3 ratio even for a second anymore, at least not in the very latest DSPlayer build - the behavior is as if no aspect ratio change happened).

The changelog for the Oct 4th release says something about "Fixed Kodi Zoom options", which I assume is somehow related to this zooming bug?

BTW, I can't launch the stream using DVDPlayer from the DSPlayer Kodi build, it always starts in DSPlayer - seems like another bug? I don't think mediasconfig needs altering to be able to manually launch DVDPlayer from within Kodi (?).

[aracnoz]

@Uoppi
this "Fixed Kodi Zoom options" it's needed to have in real time the changes made to the rect with kodi's zoom options also when using DSPlayer, there is no way that this it's the cause of the problem

somewhere dsplayer receives the command to set that aspect ratio, with the previous release DSPlayer was ignoring the message to change aspect ratio while playback so why you was not experiencing this problem, but it's not the solution

without a way to reproduce i cannot do anything because i have to see when and from where the message with new rect arrives to dsplayer, maybe it's something related specifically to the addons that you are using because i cannot reproduce this issue with my sources

p.s.

maybe something with your rules force to use always dsplayer with streaming contents anyway if you want to check dvdplayer behavior with dsplayer version you can uncheck system - video - dsplayer - "use as default video player"
but i think that dvdplayer will have the same behavior that with the official version

So, RGB 4:4:4 at 10 bits would be equal to 30 bits. RGB 4:2:2 would be 20 bits.

So MadVR actually does output in HDR format without the dolby program?

What happens if the TV doesn't support 4:4:4, will the TV or the GPU be left to downgrade it to 4:2:2 or will MadVR detect it (If Nvidia control panel is set to RGB). Cause RGB is dynamic from what i understood? It doesn't need switching from 444 to 422 etc in control panel?
