bottom line it's a DXVA decoder issue with Kaby Lake drivers
Anim8
can't tell about 4K@Mac, but it's totally usable on Windows even with much slower hardware than yours
> I applied the "hwdec=videotoolbox-copy" but mpv still has some bad performance. I think I am giving up on mpv as VLC support seems to be much better on MAC. I can get smooth video but audio desyncs sometimes.
> I want to confirm is this the correct way to apply the arg?
nope, you should enter "--hwdec=videotoolbox-copy" in the player_args option
OR put it right into ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf
> If almost all Apple hardware even 2016 hardware has bad incompatible processor then what was the motivation making SVP 4 Mac? I am just curious.
yours MB Air with i7-3667U can't handle 1080p because of overheating (temp >100 degrees is not good), NOT because of it's too slow
mine Mini with pretty much the same CPU - i5-4278U - can play 1080p, staying at 75 degrees
and if you read through those two URLs I gave, there's another possible flaw with recent Apple laptops
It seems that in Sierra a feature was added to make sure that the CPU doesn't overheat by throttling the processor usage for high CPU demand processes automatically.
overall I think that Apple laptops are just "too handsome" to do real job 
fixed in rev.96
fixed in rev.97
for the reference - this's how it should be - playing FullHD on Mac mini with i5-4278U
regarding "hwdec", just tested on my Mac Mini, the following works and reduces CPU load:
hwdec=videotoolbox-copyat which point it crashes? right after playback start, or occasionally after some time?
does it crash with any video file / any video resolution or not?
This means MB Air's cooling system can't handle this "i7" with a full load of both CPU and GPU parts.
Your only option is to forget about FullHD and stick to 720p videos and then adjust "performance - quality" slider to keep CPU load below 50%.
Well, OK, Plex Media Player support in macOS IS broken.
Will fix this soon enough.
> a small prtion from the episode
yeah, and it actually IS 29.9 fps
> PLESE TELL ME HOW TO PLAY IT SMOOTHLY!
throw it away and get normal rip
PMP 1.1.6, Win 10, libmpv 0.21 - work for me
it's a regression in the installer scripts, will be fixed soon
well, at least IPC is working...
> mediainfo txt which shows result 29.970 fps, which is wrong because the show was recorded in UK broadcast 1080i/50
assuming this's true, then SVP should switch to the correct frame rate after a few seconds
what do you see in ffdshow properties -> Info -> Movie FPS?
> hwdec=no
if it works w/o this option then just remove it
your "i7" is weak enough to additionally load it with software video decoder
> my i7 processor and GPU are more than enough for 1080p
well, your "i7" is significantly slower than any desktop i3
> What am I doing wrong?
- AC should be plugged in
- do not turn off GPU acceleration in SVP
- hwdec option usage needs to be clarified 
Most important part is all these "ultra-books" just can't handle continuously high system load cause they start overheating in a few minutes and drop both CPU and GPU frequencies.
I'll re-check all the installation steps using latest sw versions in the evening.
In the meantime
log-file=/some-file/may help
brrr... I'm lost
first message:
1080i/50fps ... SVP thinks they are 23.974 fps and messes up the interpolation playing them at 59.94 (2X)
what I can see in the log:
1080i/60fps ... SVP thinks it's 29.970 fps ant plays it at 49.95 (x5/3)
obviously if you "force it to do 2X" you'll get 60 fps, and it won't be any fluent playing on the 50 hz screen
SVP thinks exactly what MediaInfo thinks, plus ffdshow's readings can switch source frame rate value at runtime.
Messages from SVP's log could help 
There's a nasty packaging error in .96 release, we will fix it ASAP.
If you can't even start the app, the quick fix is
brew install mediainfo====
Fixed now.
ждать 0.91.1/2/3/4/5, или сразу выкладывать?
до гениально простых идей про кроп дело пока не дошло
однако галка для включения подсветки только в полноэкранном режиме - есть
