4K display
windows 10; Kodi using DS Player/madvr

Am i correct in saying the video card should be expected to work it's hardest when the source is 480i video and work its least when the source is 4K?

If the source is 480i30 (DVD), it would become 480p24 after IVTC, film-based deinterlacing and would be an easier load compared to 4K because a 4K source has more pixels and a bit depth of 10-bits, and chroma upscaling alone is more taxing.

If the source is 480i60 (SD TV), it would become 480p60 after video-based deinterlacing and would be a hard load on the GPU because rendering times would have to be under 16ms.

In general, the most difficult upscales to 4K are 720p and 1080p. A 720p source is usually doubled and then downscaled, which requires the most processing.

Hello

I used DS Player in his latest Krypton built with MadVR for HDR Support. Everything worked fine until I reinstalled Windows 10 (no software or hardware changes were made). Since then I have a very anoying problem with DS Player. The HUD of the Player does not disapear when i press the right mouse button. Some elements do (like the play, pause, etc. buttons), but other HUD elements stay visible (like the progress bar, time and date). 

I tried all versions of Krypton DS Player in x86 and x64. Everywhere the same issue. In an old Jarvis version it worked, but this version has a buggy HDR support and is not usable.

There are no problems as long as I use the standard Kodi player, but when i switch to DS Player the HUD problems remain.

Any ideas?

Thank you

The only thing I can think of is that there was a change in video driver versions when you reinstalled Windows. Try rolling back to an older driver. If you didn't rebuild DSPlayer from scratch, you might want to do that, but I can't see that causing your problem.

Is there any developer that could tell me whether with the Binary Add-Ons Repository DSPlayer could be implemented as a binary add-on?
I ask because DSPlayer has never substituted VideoPlayer, it's always been an extra option available (which one could then choose to make the default player, but that has nothing to do with something specific to DSPlayer... you already could have an external player as the video player for whatever formats).

Edit: also, considering that binary add-ons, if I understand correctly, are flexible enough to support the whole RetroPlayer as an add-on... I'd be surprised if a DSPlayer binary addon would be impossible. It would be "enough" to have it default to EVR, which is included with every supported version of Windows. And then have it use madVR if installed.

This was more or less what I thought.  i will need some assistance in the near future with how i have madvr setup.  i'm basing my concerns on the fact that when i play 4k content that contains BT2020 my 1080ti is maxed out and i'm getting dropped frames.  I willing to bet even though i'm not maxing the 1080 out playing 1080p, 720p, etc   that those settings are probably not correct as well.  when i have some time i'll snag some screen shots of the madvr setup i have adn a screen shot of the TV showing the movie stats and maybe we can go from there.

 No beta version. And there may be never be support for Netflix because it needs inputstream.adaptive and this doesn't work with DSPlayer.

 Sad. Is it impossible to support? It is great features about madvr watch Netflix.

[Warner306]

Likely not impossible. It would first require aracnoz provides a final build of v18. It would also require that he codes inputstream.adaptive to work with DSPlayer. He always keeps up with what is current when providing updates, so, no, it is not impossible that DSPlayer would receive an update one day to work with inputstream.adaptive. It depends on aracnoz alone.

I know DSPlayer doesn't support Tvheadend as a PVR back-end. I've just tried this PlayerCoreFactory rule that forces Kodi to use the normal DVDPlayer for live TV:

xml:
<playercorefactory>

    <rules action="prepend">

        <rule protocols="daap|rtv|rtmp|http|https|rtmpe|mms|rtp|rtsp|htsp" player="DVDPlayer" />

    </rules>

</playercorefactory>

For some reason, this correctly forces Kodi to use DVDPlayer when choosing a channel from the "Recently played channels" section, but if I try to choose a channel via the "Channels" or "Guide" section, it tries to use DSPlayer and fails. Does anyone know what am I missing in this rule?

The only protocol I can see you are missing is pvr. Try adding it.

Add maybe try adding a </rule> in there: 

</rule>
</rules>

If you are using 17.6, it is no longer "DVDPlayer" but "VideoPlayer."  

Thanks for the tip, I've got it correctly using the standard video player via "Channels", "Guide", and "Recently played channels". The only annoyance is recorded shows are also played using the standard video player, but I guess that helps when it's an in-progress recording. I've set up my Recordings directory to be accessible via SMB so I can play already-completed recordings using DSPlayer that way. For anyone else in my situation, here's my playercorefactory.xml:

Code:

<playercorefactory>
    <rules action="prepend">
        <rule protocols="daap|rtv|rtmp|http|https|rtmpe|mms|rtp|rtsp|htsp|pvr" player="VideoPlayer" />
    </rules>
