NVOF seems to be smoother and better quality to me on my RTX 3070. I tried playing around with the settings both on and off; NVOF doesn't have many settings in SVP to begin with, but it was always smoother. But I found no way to get rid of the wave artifacts as those options aren't available for NVOF.

the same way as you're using ffdshow filter?

I don't really know what I'm looking for as ffdshowrawfilter is listed as an extra external filter but there isn't any mention of Avisynth.
Edit: so when switching to rules and filters mode from internal filters, I found the option to add an avisynth filter as an extra filter and that worked, but the instructions are different to the ffdshow filter on the wiki.

Does anyone know how to use the avisynth filter in Kodi dsPlayer? Need that sweet sweet HDR.

Currently I have it set to fixed 60fps. It is a 4k tv which goes up to 60hz and refuses to run at 48hz via custom resolution. So double ratio or 48fps at 60hz will have to do. It's a bit better at x2 but still very noticeable.

Frame interpolation mode: couldn't find it in settings nor in the manual
fi_shader to 10. Is by blocks = 10 or a separate setting?
Arifacts masking I've left on medium for now because it's nearly unwatchable when off
I was unable to set fi_precision to 0.5 from 2, it needs to be an integer.
fi_grid is already 12
fi_scene_changes is an integer, not sure what number that setting is? It's not in the manual.

With these settings it's better but still very noticeable. I normally use svp on Linux and have done for several months and the artifacts have been very minimal on default settings and fixed 60fps. I started using svp on Windows for HDR and that's when I noticed it (although most of the videos I've tried haven't been HDR and that's not related to this issue). Maybe the default settings are different? I also upgraded my R5 2600 to R7 5800X almost exactly at the same time but the system passes all stress tests for a few hours (small FFTs prime95 etc) with the 5800X so I don't think it's instability.

"artifacts" is the best way I have to describe it but maybe that's not accurate. Sometimes it looks like overshoot, sometimes stuttering/flickering but only specific parts of the frame, sometimes like somebody opened Photoshop and went mad with the liquify tool. Examples are attached. This doesn't happen with h.264 content - these stills are from a h.265 video transcoded from h.264 source. It happens with both the ffdshow raw filter and avisynth script but not with SVP closed. I use MPC-BE with madVR but it also happens in Plex and MPC with EVR instead of madVR. Specs are 5800X and RTX 3070 so performance is unlikely to be the problem. Plus the h.265 videos are much lower bitrate than the h.264 sources.
I think artifact masking helps a little bit but not much.
There's nothing of note in the event log.
Any way to fix this?

OK, just spotted it happening in an AVC file too. So it's not codec related and may just be coincidence that it happens more on my HEVC files. But I have noticed that it relates to lines... somehow. But I guess smoothing the movement of lines is how SVP works anyway.
