3 Hours of testing so far and it's stable. I would say even more stable than 4.0.0.60 because I even pushed it over the limit and done everything I can to crash it, but it didn't crash. Only tested 1920x800 so far though. Still need to test 720p and FULL 1080p. I should probably test 4K too, that always crashed before no matter which version.

EDIT #01

I done a few more hours of testing with 4.0.0.76 and it is very stable. The best version so far stability wise. 4K videos still crash, but 4K has always crashed, it has never been stable with my settings. But yeah everything else works perfectly, even if I push it over the limit.

However, I wanted to ask a question, did artifact masking change at all with this version? Using the same settings I am noticing more artifacts now (I think, I'm not sure). Is that how you guys fixed the issue? I have always had artifact masking set on "strong", which keeps the video fairly smooth, and artifacts to the minimum. Putting it on "strongest" destroys smoothness so I never use that. But I'm not sure if it's just me paying too much attention maybe to the scenes because the material I am testing with is being re-watched, so I am focusing more on artifacts and less on what's happening elsewhere on the screen. Oh and artifacts are the same now using 4.0.0.60 or the latest 4.0.0.76 (so if anything did change, it affects globally, not just the latest version).

Anyway great job fixing the issue.

I also wanted to ask Chainik can you make a ZIP file with 4.0.0.76 just like you did for 4.0.0.60

EDIT #02

Don't worry about the artifacts, I had SVP Shader set to complicated, I was supposed to keep that on standard in my settings (I forgot). My bad, I'll go back to doing some more tests now.

EDIT #03

Okay STILL there are NO crashes wtih 4.0.0.76 but hanging is still happening, I have just attached as much information as possibel after the hanging happened watching a 1920x1080 episode of Vikings (and I sent a report).

It is also related to SVP Shader being set to "standard", because under "complicated" no hanging happens at all, but under "complicated" there's more artifacts.

4.0.0.60 doesn't have the hanging issue (even with SVP Shader @ Standard). I hope we fix this problem of dropping frames (hanging).

At least we're getting closer to finding out the problem (hopefully).

You don't INSTALL the older version, you install the latest version, and then extract 4.0.0.60 FILE that Chainik posted on Page 2 into the SVP directory.

So you extract the files inside svp4-60.zip (plugins-60 folder, script-60 folder, and SVPManager Free or PRO executable depending on which version you use) into the SVP 4 Directory.

Which is located @ C:\Program Files (x86)\SVP 4

Once you've extracted them into the SVP Folder, send a shortcut to desktop of SVPManager-PRO/Free60.exe, and go to the desktop and rename the shortcut SVP OLD. Use that to launch the older version.

So are you saying MPC 1.7.9 helps? Or was it SVP 4.0.0.60 like I suggested? Or both?

I'm only using what comes with SVP 4, which is AVS 2.6 I believe.

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.7Ghz - iGPU = HD4600.
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming GT
Videocard: Gigabyte 280X OC WindForce
RAM: 16Gb EvoPotenza @ 2400Mhz

The optimal settings I found that cause ZERO hanging/chopping and ZERO issues for me with SVP 4.0.0.60 + MPC + MadVR are:

Processing Threads = 19
GPU Acceleration = Enabled on my Intel iGPU HD4600 (So that my 280X can be dedicated to MadVR).

Using the following Settings:

The moment I use the latest SVP 4.0.0.74, crashing AND/OR hanging occurs.
With 19 Processing threads MPC crashing occurs, with AUTO processing threads hanging occurs.

I believe using the latest version, setting processing threads to 21, and turning GPU Acceleration completely OFF makes it work smoothly, but CPU usage with those settings increases to 60% or 70% without GPU Acceleration.

Have you installed the latest drivers from nVidia?

Are you sure you're connecting your HDMI, Display Port,  or DVI cable to the videocard. Maybe after you fixed your issue you plugged it into the motherboard.

Oh well, nope, still problems with the latest version of SVP. Even after doing what I mentioned above:

https://drdump.com/UploadedReport.aspx? … ondVisit=1

4.0.0.60 is still working great though.

I'm glad 4.0.0.60 worked for you too. Hopefully this helps narrow down the problem. Anyway, can you use the latest SVP 4.0.0.74 with MPC and MadVR please (this goes for anyone having crashes).

Go to the MadVR Folder, and run madHcCtrl.exe. Right click the system-tray-icon of Madvr at the bottom-right corner of the screen, and choose Edit madVR Settings.

Edit the following settings:

Open the "Rendering" side menu, open "General Settings", make sure CPU Queue Size is set to 20, and GPU Queue Size is set to 10. Also above that, make sure only the first two options are ticked (delay playback, and delay playback after seek). Everything else in general settings should be UN-ticked (OFF).

Go to Windowed Mode side menu, make sure present several frames in advance is ticked (enabled), and in the drop down below that, choose 6.

Go to Trade Quality for Performance side menu and UN-Tick everything (make sure all are OFF).

I have not done enough testing yet, but this has eliminated the crash problem (I need to check if it stopped the hanging problem too). And I haven't checked yet if it's related to Full-Screen Exclusive mode, or Render Queue sizes for CPU & GPU, I changed both at the same time.

SVP's work is done ALL on your CPU if you have GPU Acceleration OFF, even with it on, most of the work is still done by the CPU, the GPU is only there to assist it and decrease the CPU usage if you wish to enable it with GPU Acceleration.

Thanks MAG79

I'll give that a try tonight. By the way since you guys bundle the latest MPC & LAV Filters now with SVP 4 Installer, you know when it asks (should SVP Installer change MPC settings...), it should remove/un-tick all INTERNAL filters, so it uses the latest LAV Filters that come bundled with SVP.

EDIT:

Tested SVP 4.0.0.73 with the same settings that work perfectly with SVP 4.0.0.60 (GPU Acceleration in SVP on my Intel HD4600, Hardware Acceleration disabled in LAV Filters, Processing Threads on 19), and MPC crashed with SVP 4.0.0.73

https://drdump.com/UploadedReport.aspx? … ondVisit=1

So TURNING OFF Hardware Acceleration in LAV Video didn't stop the issue with the latest SVP.

I'm using a 4790K clocked @ 4.7Ghz

EDIT:

I just ran a 4K video (I have Narcos in 2160p) using MPC & SVP and ffdShow crashed:

https://mpc-hc.org/external-filter-cras … ID=7711963

I ran it with SMPlayer & SVP and it ran fine (no crash for the first minute or so I tested), but I believe it was lagging (dropping frames or delaying frames) so I need to tweak my settings in SVP for 4K content but I can't see what's happening because there's no rendering statistics using SMPlayer.

CTRL + J in most media players shows rendering statistics (where I can see if there's any delayed frames or dropped frames), but with SMPlayer CTRL + J doesn't do anything. Does anyone know how to show rendering stats using SMPlayer?

PS: I am using 4.0.0.60

EDIT #2:

My bad, 4.0.0.60 doesn't work with SMPlayer + vapoursynth (what I thought was lag or dropped frames, was actually just the video running @ 24FPS, I got so used to SVP Smoothness, that I can't watch without it anymore).

With 4.0.0.73 it sits there trying to load the file for almost a minute, then it crashes:

I've edited out the names of the directories in the code above and changed my username to "mmm" (just for anonymity).

I'm using a TV:

Sony 42" W800C

Sadly I can't overclock it at all. Anything past 60Hz and it won't work. Back when I was using a monitor it was much easier to overclock. But the viewing experience for movies/series is so much better on a TV, in comparison to a 27" Monitor that it's worth the compromise.

It has built in motion-interpolation, but dear lord it's horrible in comparison to SVP. So I have it completely switched off as an option, and I use SVP for motion interpolation.
