Topic: PSA: Motion Smoothing on Android/iPh is finally here! Details inside..

We all know SVP does not support Android / iPhone (yet). However, new discovered SOFTWARE and newly developed HARDWARE now allow you to do motion smoothing on mobile devices...



1.

OnePlus and OPPO phones now have 120Hz AMOLED screens and officially support motion smoothing in a veriaty of popular apps such as youtube/netflicks/VLC etc.

Furthermore, I have discovered a gem of a player for (almost) ALL modern Android and iPhone devices which natively supports frame rate interpolation using shared SVP libraries.

The player is called MPV Player and is available on the app store. Simply go into the options while a video is not playing, and enable Interpolation under the Video settings to have it interpolate the FPS and sync to your display refresh. It will depend on the power of your mobile device of course, but my testing shows that it consumes not-too-significant CPU/memory/battery to be noticeable - the biggest battery drain will always be your screen no matter what video player you use; with or without motion interpolation.

The player is also very powerful in that you can edit the config file under the advanced settings to add things like a sharpening filter (I have added SHARPENING=5.0 - I am now blown away by detail; I often wonder why players don't have this feature enabled by default because it adds so much.

for devs or tech folk, the guthub manual etc are here:

> which natively supports frame rate interpolation using shared SVP libraries

this is not true
mpv doesn't use shared SVP libraries
moreover, mpv doesn't provide motion interpolation at all, it's just a frames blending

... however we're working on a "SVP Player for Android", hope we'll be ready to show something to the public soon enough wink

Thank you for the education - always a pleasure to get direct responses from Devs!

I am eagerly looking forward to SVP on android when it does release!

This is the source which confused me (I am not a coder); it looks like true motion vectors would only work on the PC version:
