Awesome, could someone point out how to run SVP with the current madVR enabled Kodi DSPlayer?
If I'm not wrong you need FFDShow to run SVP, but how do I run madVR and FFDShow simultaneously is what I'm asking I guess?

To get so working with DSPlayer you need to add ffdshow raw as an external filter. Once you play a video it should work. For my current htpc it works with SVP 3.1.7, but doesn't work with SVP 4. My new htpc I'm building right now works with both versions of SVP.

Cheers, that worked like a charm. Now to get SVP 4 Full version so that the fine tuning can begin...
Where do I find recommended values and settings for madVR by the way? Upscaling to 1080p from 720p and 540p is my main use.

With that set-up, I would recommend trying the following:

Profile: "1080p"

• Chroma: super-xbr125 + AR
  
• Image: Jinc3 + AR
  
• Image Doubling: Off
  
• Upscaling Refinement: Off
  
• Artifact Removal - Debanding: Medium/High
  
• Image Enhancements: FineSharp (strength: 0.5)
  
• Dithering: Error Diffusion 2
  

Profile: "720p"

• Chroma: super-xbr125 + AR
  
• Image: Jinc3 + AR
  
• Double Luma: 1.2x or greater - super-xbr125
  
• Double Chroma: 1.2x or greater - super-xbr125
  
• Downscaling: Catmull-Rom + AR + LL
  
• Upscaling Refinement: SuperRes (strength: 1, sharpness: 2)
  
• Artifact Removal - Debanding: Medium/High
  
• Image Enhancements: Off
  
• Dithering: Ordered
  

Profile: "SD"

• Chroma: super-xbr125 + AR
  
• Image: Jinc3 + AR
  
• Double Luma: 2x or greater - super-xbr125
  
• Double Chroma: 2x or greater - super-xbr125
  
• Upscaling Refinement: SuperRes (strength: 1, sharpness: 2)
  
• Artifact Removal - Debanding: Medium/High
  
• Image Enhancements: Off
  
• Dithering: Ordered
  

madVR profile rules:

if (srcWidth = 1920) or ((srcHeight > 720) and (srcHeight <= 1080)) "1080p"
else if (srcWidth = 1280) or ((srcHeight > 540) and (srcHeight <= 720)) "720p"
else if ((srcWidth <= 960) or (srcHeight <= 540)) "SD"

I have an overclocked GTS 450 and now use super-xbr for everything. This $50 GPU is all you would need if your display is 1080p. 4K scaling requires a much better card.

super-xbr is almost as good as NNEDI3, but much cheaper. Flipping back and forth, I can see NNEDI3 is a little more in-focus, but a bit softer. A setting of 150 will ring a little bit, while 125 is a nice middle-ground between the softer-nature of 100 and the ringing of 150. Image Doubling and SuperRes go very well together, even with 720p content.
