Topic: SVP Linux and Kodi MPV problem
Hello,
I wanted to give a try to SVP. My gpu is powerful, 6900 XT, so i install it and setup the hardware acceleration with rocm. I get 4k60 fps with svp to work fine. I tried 120 fps, as i own a lg cx that can handle it, but i couldn't get at constant frame-rate.
I am using kodi to access my collection, and use mpv as external player. Something is strange, if i start mpv and svp with a command line in a terminal, in my case "mpv --input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket --screen=1 --fs=yes FILE", it is working fine. -screen=1 is my lg cx as you figured.
But if i start mpv using kodi, i get the svp OSD, same as before, but it quickly became extremely laggy after a few seconds, just after the svp osd disapear.
My playercorefactory.xml say kodi should start mpv with exactly the same option as my command line in a term, so i really don't understand what is happening.
My playercorefactory.xml :
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="MPV" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>/usr/bin/mpv</filename>
<args>--input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket --screen=1 --fs=yes --log-file=/home/satan/mpv-log.txt "{1}"</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule video="true" player="MPV"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
I also attach a log of mpv/svp when started by kodi.
