SVPlayer for iPhones / iPads is here!
Works surprisingly well on everything better-or-equal than iPhone 11 (Apple A13 SoC). Minimal requirements is A10 SoC.

Feel free to install and write a good review 😀 More good reviews - more features coming. Direct link: https://t.ly/j-UG

There're a few free promo code (Apple only allows 100 codes) for the old SVP users (i.e. at least 1-month-old) - https://www.svp-team.com/ios-promo/

So, yeah, BF is here, again... 🥳
A once-in-a-lifetime chance to get a-lifetime-SVP with a huge discount!
Hurry up! 😱

The future of frame interpolation is in the neural networks.
One of the most practical NN-based algorithms called RIFE, and SVP can now utilise it in both transcoding and real-time playback modes.
Comparing to the 'classical' motion vectors approach, RIFE delivers much higher quality of interpolated frames. The only drawback is it needs A LOT of GPU power - something like RTX 3080 is highly recommended for 1080p playback, while 4K playback needs RTX 4090.
But if you already own suitable video card then you really must try it!
More info plus some useful links are there: https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/RIFE_AI_interpolation

Here it comes!

July 1, 2021

Anyone interested in testing a BETA version of SVP for Android please contact us via support@svp-team.com.

Requirements:
* an active and experienced SVP user with a valid license at least two months old.
* a not-too-old and not-too-low-end Android 10+ device with Google Play and 4+ GB of RAM.

Keep in mind that:
1. Rather powerful SoC is required.
2. SVP for Android drains battery like a good game.
3. It's very unlikely now that any Android TV device could handle it. Let's hope Nvidia will release a new Shield this year.

SVP 4.5 marks a new era for SVP: we can finally move away from the good-old ffdshow. ffdshow used to be a great piece of software and SVP won't ever be possible without it, however it isn't maintained for years now, doesn't support neither high bit depth colors nor HDR and doesn't work correctly anymore with the newer Avisynth 3.6. Luckily for us, a brand new "Avisynth Filter" (yep, it isn't a very catchy name) can do all of these! Many thanks to CrendKing @Doom9 who bring it to us. Please note that it's still work-in-progress, so we're not pushing every SVP user to switch from ffdshow right now. But you're very welcome to try it!

Thanks to the recent mpv commit we now have three ways to watch HDR content in real HDR mode (still no dynamic HDR though :()
1. mpv - good performance, supports 10-bit, Windows 10 only;
2. VLC - worst performance, 72 fps max, supports 10-bit, Windows 10 only;
3. madVR - best performance but 8-bit only and needs manual file renaming.

Sad news for Mac users: Homebrew developers recently removed mpv from Homebrew because of some odd misunderstanding with mpv developers. More details there: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/42827#issuecomment-521474699

We believe this can be solved and they will return mpv back soon enough, but right now there're no simple ways to install mpv with Vapoursynth on Mac.

We're trying to figure out a workaround, stay tuned.
