Nathanio 35 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I'm running 1.0.41 and have set it up with MadVR, QuickSync and change refresh rate enabled. When I playback recorded tv (ts files) I get very choppy playback. I have tried using smooth video and it makes it worse. HW Intel i3-4130 8GB RAM 120GB SSD 1080p playback The choppy playback is for SD and HD content. BR Ripped MKVs with DTS-HD soundtracks playback perfectly. Help!

Do you have refreshrate switching enabled in ET and madVR, only in ET, or only in madVR? Can you enable the madVR OSD and determine the display rate and the composition rate? If you are unsure of how to bring up madVR's OSD you can follow steps 4 through 8 of the configuration portion of this guide. http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/30199-et-setup-guide-with-madvr-and-bitstreaming-hd-audio/page-1 Edited February 5, 2016 by Jdiesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Try using DXVA hardware acceleration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanio 35 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Things like VLC play em back fine? Playback on our FireTV (direct play not transcoded) perfectly fine. Does play in MPC-HC as well. Do you have refreshrate switching enabled in ET and madVR, only in ET, or only in madVR? Can you enable the madVR OSD and determine the display rate and the composition rate? If you are unsure of how to bring up madVR's OSD you can follow steps 4 through 8 of the configuration portion of this guide. http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/30199-et-setup-guide-with-madvr-and-bitstreaming-hd-audio/page-1 I do have it enabled in ET. I'll see if I can do it. 1080p MKV with DTS-HD are playing back buttery smooth (with refresh rate switching) Try using DXVA hardware acceleration Tried this and it worked great for HD x264 encoded streams. MPEG2 issues on SD channels are still choppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heuer 76 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Getting the same here when playing back recorded ts files from NextPVR. If I use EVR+, Auto for hardware acceleration, refresh rate change on they play OK. Using madVR either makes playback choppy or the sound moves out of sync.

Nathanio 35 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Coming back to this. I have tried EVR+ and that plays back smoothly but with an image in the centre of the screen (and no way to stretch it). Back to MadVR and it jitters. I have since tried in on my desktop with an i5-4570S (using iGPU) and that is smooth. But I can't do refresh rate switching on the monitor.

puithove 208 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Using madVR, it's very possible you're exceeding your GPU's ability to process the video fast enough. Have you looked at the madVR stats screen (ctrl + J)? You might have to back down on some of the processing. 1080i content is WAY more demanding than typical 1080p24. Check out JDiesel's how-to (it explains looking at the performance stats): http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/30199-et-setup-guide-with-madvr-and-bitstreaming-hd-audio/ Another great how-to on madVR is Warner306's here: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=259188 It goes into much more detail about how intensive various processing steps are and directly discusses how/why 1080i is more demanding.
