OKay, welp apparently I do have OpenCL, but it still is giving me trouble. The audio cuts out and gives me messages like this "performance low, SVP index=85" or something like that, and there's a weird flickering on the left edge and top and bottom parts of the video of the video, which is affecting the left side mostly. Plus, the video doesn't autocrop like it would on the CPU.

Maybe I have to download this? http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks … g-app-sdk/

Chainik When I press the "GPU acceleration/OpenCL" option in SVP, it makes the audio of the video become out of sync, plus the video becomes slow, and gives me high CPU usage messages, or something like "performance is low, lower your settings". To be honest, I don't know how the OpenCL stuff works.

Chainik I use SVPtube, but it crashes the mpc-hc player a lot, which forces it to close immediately, so I can only watch a handful of videos with that. However, sometimes the video will open and play properly at certain times, and then it'll start crashing again on other times. I will use Youtube dl for when I want to watch stuff that I can't on youtube, but at the same time, I don't know how to download links from other sites, like the commands for them so youtube-dl is able to download them.

Chainik Wow, there's like no difference between 120 and 60 in terms of interpolation, they both have the same level of smoothness it seems. Or maybe the manufacturers of the 120hz TVs turn down the interpolation a little bit to reduce the artifacts of interpolating such frames. We have a TV with Motionflow 120, and there's two modes, "High" and Standard". I'll just talk about the high mode. It produces smoothness, but it's not as smooth compared to SVP it seems, even though it's 120fps, vs the 60fps on my laptop. They (manufacturers) probably tweak it down on the big TVs so that it works well, instead of just plain smoothness.

Also, SVP can be a pain in the ass, especially on this budget AMD A6 laptop I use. I can't use the GPU acceleration mode, because it doesn't work. I can only use the CPU, and when it starts giving me "high cpu usage" message in MPC-HC I have to turn the shader down to "fastest for slow PC", but it introduces heavy waviness, blockiness, and distortion. So yeah, SVP works, but not perfectly. At least I can have interpolation though hmm. I sometimes get the high cpu usage while in a skype call or when the CPU randomly spikes, and it forces me to tune down SVP. Right now I have "fastest for slow PC" and "12px grid" settings.

Chainik Was watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hd7Tj_3GLMY. See, I don't understand, SVP interpolates frames based on the 60hz refresh rate, but obviously, it has to insert extra frames. Inserting extra frames in between original ones would make it 120fps. So you're watching content at 120fps on a 60hz monitor. You're basically seeing the smoothness, but not the actual 120fps, because there is hardly a difference between 60 and 120. I don't understand how the content remains 60fps with SVP if extra frames are being inserted. Isn't that why 120hz TVs exist, so they can put the frames in between the originals, in which the 60hz can't? If I am wrong, then all these TV manufacturers could have just used a 60hz panel and used smoothing like SVP does, instead of using the higher refresh rate panels, since you'll see the smoothing effect no matter what.

Watch that video, btw.

Chainik In the market they should have 60hz tvs with soap opera effect, instead of paying over $400 for a 120hz tv with motion smoothing, but as it seems, TVs with 120hz motion interpolation are getting cheaper.

Chainik If 60hz screens are able to produce the soap opera effect, what's the purpose of 120hz? Is it to insert the frames easily without any kind of special conversion or processor power?

Alright I used this method. So far it works for youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCrUGKwc8JA

Warning: you're reading old and outdated topic, any solutions given here may not be relevant to the current version of SVP!
=======

How is SVP able to provide motion interpolation for 60hz monitors/screens, but actual HDTVs need to be 120hz or 240hz built in, in order to provide motion interpolation? People keep saying it's impossible to get the soap opera effect or interpolation on 60hz screens, but then again, we have SVP which we can use on our 60hz screens. Maybe the process works differently with HDTVs?

Also, what advantages do 240hz televisions over 120hz ones in terms of motion interpolation?


Also, how can you tweak SVP to look more like the motion interpolation that's on HDTVs, like motionflow for example, or even auto motion plus. I notice sony's motionflow has a different look in their interpolation compared to the other brands, at least with the bravia TV we have.

I have to download youtube_dl? Also, thanks.

It's very hard to track all of 100s of sites for the HTML engine changes. It's not "hard" but just impossible. The only project I know (and it's feeding ALL other "downloaders" with the code) is youtube-dl.

I mean if youtube-dl can't download your E3's videos - nobody can.

May be at some point we'll move SVPtube to use youtube-dl engine.


Surprisingly, Vimeo links worked in SVPtube.

yeah, it's a miracle!  big_smile

SVPtube is a tiny free app to extract direct URLs to live streams from YouTube and Vimeo

So videos must be downloaded in order to watch? It's impossible to use MPC-HC with live stream and SVP?

Something similar to SVPtube, except it is not limited to only youtube, but varies other websites, or some way to copy the video url from the website with the , open it up in MPC-HC, and the MPC-HC player detects the video that's on the website and plays it?


Example: "http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x13toh … 19_animals" and then open it up in MPC-HC?



Also, how can I stream live streams like E3 Electronics Expo from a website live into MPC-HC?




P.S. Surprisingly, Vimeo links worked in SVPtube.
