I am still struggling with this Problem. It seems to occur only when the Video is displayed on the secondary display, and it disappears in win 8. I am using XBMC Gotham RC1 with dsplayer for playng my videos.

Hi,

are there currently chances to make SVP work in XBMC 13 (Gotham)?

Thanks!

@MAG79: Thanks for your answer (and sorry for my late response). This setting actually solves my problem.

I used this setting, since it minimizes other artifacts which are particularly noticeable when sharp stationary objects are on the screen while the background moves; an example for this is during the start of movies when there is text (actors and cast) on the screen. These artifacts back are now; seems i can't have both problems solved at the same time.

Hi,

this issue is hard to describe: in scenes, when the camera moves, there is a noticeable and annoying pulsing or stuttering. It is not like a "hard" stuttering, but appears more like as if a couple of pictures run to fast, then some run slower, some faster again... Thus, on camera turns or when the background moves slowly over the screen it is not a smoth and even movement anymore.

I guess, it has to do with the settings - any idea which parameters I should modify?

Big Thanks!

Hlina

SOLVED!

The problem was in the XBMC Settings, under Video/dsplayer, the option "use system filters (DirectShow merits)" was selected, and thus dsplayer used MS-DTV decoder instead of ffdshow, despite the correct configuration in mediasconfig.xml. This is a bit embarrasing, however, I am sure that everything worked until I installed the SVP update.

Thanks everybody for your kind help!

Hi MAG79! Thanks for your answer. I have added to mediasconfig.xml the following lines (and comment the old stuff concerning mkv out):

This does not work, SVP still does not recognize the video played. Funny thing is, all worked until I updated SVP.

When I use XBMC, only the Haali Media Splitter Icon appears in tray; when I try using Zoom Player w. LAV Video codec, the LAV Icon appears, but SVP doesn't recognize the video played. When I set Zoom Player to use ffdshow or madVR directly, SVP does see the file but has performance issues. It is puzzling that all worked until I updated SVP.

I am using XBMC Frodo with dsplayer and LAV video dec and SVP for frame interpolation. It worked great until I updated to SVP 3.1.5. Now, SVP does not recognize videos being played through XBMC with dsplayer and LAV video dec. Any idea what could be broken?

The problem is solved now. I installed windows 8 (as update for my Win 7) and now it works!

Trouble is only with XBMC, other players work fine. How do I get this list?

(59 replies, posted in Using SVP)

No these data are usually correct. It happens to *ALL* video files that I have tested (>50).

(59 replies, posted in Using SVP)

MAG79: Thanks for your proposal. I checked it: it doesn't matter if the video has subtitles. Switching them off in Video that has some doesn't make anything better.

(59 replies, posted in Using SVP)

changing processing threads doesn't help. The problem seems to be more within xbmc, since other players like zoom player work flawlessly even on the secondary monitor. It might be possible to change the renderer, but I don't know how.

This time, it looks more balanced than yesterday, but the problem remains (see, CPU load << 100% and SVP-Index<1).

My Problem has nothing to do with 3D.

When I use SVP and observe the CPU usage graphs I see that Core 1 is used more than the others. Is it possible that there is a multi-core problem with SVP/XBMC?

17

(59 replies, posted in Using SVP)

Honestly, I don't see how windows can be the cause of this problem, especially since it works when play videos with, e.g., zoom player - it seems to be related to my XBMC setting.

Graphics Adapter: Nvidia GTX-460
Monitor: Acer GD345HQ, connected to one out of two DVI-Ports, 1.5 m cable
Beamer: Epson EH-TW5910, connected to the HDMI-Port, 7 m cable
TV: Phillips, FullHD, connected to the second DVI-Port, 10 m cable (the other end goes into an HDMI-Port of the TV).

Dependent whether I want to watch on the TV or on the beamer, I switch on either of the two.

(59 replies, posted in Using SVP)

@MAG79: I tried it. When I set the beamer to primary monitor, SVP runs smoothly. The same when I set windows to duplicate display to beamer and monitor. However, when I set it back (monitor=primary & beamer secondary), the problem comes back. I still don't understand, why I have this problem.

(59 replies, posted in Using SVP)

In another forum I heard that my problem may be due to xbmc not being able to use more than one CPU core (I have an i5-760) - that would result in only 25% use of the maximum CPU power. Personally, I don't believe in this theory, however, whats your opinion on this, guys?

20

(59 replies, posted in Using SVP)

hmm, apparently this issue is trickier than I thought. But it might have something to do with the dsplayer-setup in XBMC I guess, because it works flawlessly with zoom player.

Yeah, especially since CPU load is just 25%. But I have no idea, where to start changing the setup. I am using the config-files from Rimsky's post. 

Can somebody give me some suggestions, where I could start?

no, I haven't tried that. This would create other problems, too, since I am usually working with the monitor (primary display) and I am using the beamer only for watching movies.

Hi and thanks for the config files. I have installed it in the recommended way, but I still have the following problem:

SVP reports, that it is too slow (SVP-Index around 50%). However, the CPU load is only 25%. The problem exists only, when I display the video on the secondary display (my beamer), on the  primary display (Monitor) SVP runs smmoth,, SVP-index is 1.0, and CPU-Load is ca. 50%. Both, PC and Beamer run at 1920x1080 und 60 Hz, and 60 Hz (to frame rate) is the setting in SVP.

When I use Zoom Player to play the files, the problem does not appear on either display.

Any ideas how I could fix this issue?

I installed SVP and tried it with an FHD-Movie. I am getting the on screen message "SVP Performance is too low. Try to lower the profile settings (SVP-Index = 0.36x). The sound stops every few seconds. At the same time, CPU-Load is around 50% and GPU-Load is 12 %. What am I doing wrong?

SVP-Mark tests indicate a quite-ok-system. Only thing I wonder about is the low score at "48 fps - vectors search" of 0.82x (39.5 fps).

My System:
core-i5 760, 3.163 GHz, NVidia GeForece GTX-460, 8 GB RAM, Windows 7 64 bit.
