Any of you guys have any idea why sometimes when I open a video in mpv with SVP on or off (doesn't seem to make a difference), the video itself is not shown, but I can hear the audio just fine?

Also sometimes, SVP just would not start, so I had to set the minimum file duration to 0 (instead of 4; SVP would recognize movies of 2 hours as less than 4 s long)

Re: mpv based video players for Windows

I had that same issue in SMPlayer when opening interlaced DVD rips, but not with plain mpv.

EDIT: And yeah, that length detection thing is a known bug.

I see, well, working around it with setting it to 0 works.

By the way, is there any manual for the stuff you find under Application Settings - Additional Options - All Settings?
I could not find that anywhere.

Re: mpv based video players for Windows

Looks like your GPU doesn't support SVP? (Or the other way around?)
Maybe try reinstalling / updating GPU drivers and try again.

SVSmoothFps: unable to init GPU-based renderer - code 255

Reinstall graphic drivers. Use DDU to completely uninstall previous corrupted drivers first.

Re: mpv based video players for Windows

Windows 10 drops 64-bit Windows\System32\opencl.dll after almost each and every update, I've no idea why.

Re: mpv based video players for Windows

Thanks guys. That was it.

Removed GPU drivers with DDU in safe mode, then installed the newest available.

And now that I think of it, the issue happened right after the Windows 10 Anniversary update. Which confirms what you said Chainik.

Somehow I can't use hardware decoding with mpv on Windows. Here is mpv's output:

Is there some misconfiguration on my site? The default mpv.conf won't enable hardware decoding either and compared to MPC-HC, mpv's CPU usage is much higher (30% on a 3,4 GHz Haswell Xeon).
Personally I would prefer mpv over MPC-HC because of its working audio pitch correction on higher playback speeds and its minimal UI. But without hardware decoding I get dropped frames on higher playback speeds like for example 1.2x.

Re: mpv based video players for Windows

Well there may be tons of reason for it. Copy my exact config and test it

Btw I built mpv binary in a diferent way that may help too

Is there some misconfiguration on my site? The default mpv.conf won't enable hardware decoding either and compared to MPC-HC, mpv's CPU usage is much higher (30% on a 3,4 GHz Haswell Xeon).
Personally I would prefer mpv over MPC-HC because of its working audio pitch correction on higher playback speeds and its minimal UI. But without hardware decoding I get dropped frames on higher playback speeds like for example 1.2x.

It works on my machine @ double framerate - but also @ ~30% CPU / 8% GPU.

3 ideas:
1) if you use SVP, there is really no need for interpolation, so I would disable tscale (which sets it to oversample, which only works for framerate mismatch - that is negated by SVP obviously)
2) For me, mpv automatically speeds up 23.976 videos to 24 fps (and SVP then converts to 48fps), so I have display-resample disabled.
3) I don't know how hardware hungry the adaptive-sharpen is, maybe disable that

If the trouble persists, maybe file a bug report

Re: mpv based video players for Windows

hey, i noticed the latest potplayer now has a Vapoursynth option

Re: mpv based video players for Windows

Fair warning to all mpv users. The newest mpv has a drastically revamped config system. I have posted a sample config below, and as you can see, the developers have put some effort into making the config files more clutter-free.

So the next time the SVP manager updates your mpv, be wary that you may have to change stuff.
Some options have also changed names (for example backend= has become opengl-backend=), so refer to the manual

# Video settings

opengl-pbo

profile=opengl-hq
opengl-backend=dxinterop

tscale=oversample
interpolation
linear-scaling
scale=ewa_lanczossharp
cscale=ewa_lanczossoft
dscale=ewa_lanczosshar
temporal-dither
deband-iterations=2:deband-range=12

You misspelled the dscale parameter, I think.

Also, any particular reason you use dxinterop instead of angle? I'm an mpv noob, so I have no idea what the benefits of either are.

Oh sorry for the confusion, this is not my config (I use the mpv version supplied by the SVP team). My earlier post was meant as a heads up.

However, I do use dxinterop because I have problems with angle when playing full screen games (Windows 10 completely freezes up for some reason).

Re: mpv based video players for Windows

Does anyone still sometimes get random crashes with mpv & svp4?

Some days I can binge watch a series, 10 or more episodes and nothing out of the ordinary happens, sometimes I put on a movie or an episode and after 10 minutes mpv just randomly crashes.

I still get frequent audio desyncs and very rare crashes when seeking alot, but no crashes during normal playback.

Re: mpv based video players for Windows

Has anyone figured out how to stop audio desync? SVP + MPV runs beautifully otherwise...

Don't seek too much.

And if desyncs persist between relaunches, delete the "watch_later" folder in %appdata%/mpv.

Re: mpv based video players for Windows

I've got a lot of audio desync lately, I can't figure out why, though, I've got a quite fast PC.

Can you post your mpv.conf? Or at least the parts related to the sync feature?


I have a theory that this is related to mpv's video-sync feature, but I can't test it atm.
