Topic: Hangs with PotPlayer

Hello!

I get hangs all the time if I jump back and forth with Potplayer. I tried different decoders (with hardware acceleration, because I need it), splitters, renderer, updated ffdshow to the one packed with SVP, but the hangs remain. (My preferred decoder, splitter is LAV).
The hangs usually happen when I jump a couple times quickly after each other. I'm out of ideas what to do.

Try to encrease pause before smooth start after rewind:
In the SVP tray menu - Turn off on seek - Turn off by 2 sec.

Thanks for the tip. I had that option turned off completely. Didn't think it would result in hangs. Why is that?

Did it help you?

Why is that?
SVP needs in disabling smoothness on seeking to clean frame buffers to prevent frames-from-the-past artifact. Very fast disabling and enabling can lead to player hangs. PotPlayer is not ideal for SVP. Try MPC-HC. You will get no hangs on seeking.

Enabling it makes hangs a lot less likely even if I use the "quickly" option. Actually I have some frames-from-the-past artifacts regardless.
