generiq 113 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 @Luke are you seeing this? gpu-next isn't working. Has the build been correctly updated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generiq 113 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 @marriedman the post you've marked as the solution is incorrect. I'm pretty sure it falls back to software decoding when you get smooth playback. There is something wrong here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alucryd 216 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Sorry folks, I'm clueless when it comes to windows, but I can at least confirm it's not using gpu-next according to the provided screenshot. There must be some kind of error making it fall back to the libmpv (software) renderer. On Linux I would add `log-file=/path/to/log` to my mpv.conf to get some information about what's going on, should work on windows as well, here you can find where mpv.conf is located: https://mpv.io/manual/master/#files-on-windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look into a mpv log sometime soon. Busy with family stuff currently. Sorry about brief reply, I hate using my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about brief reply, I hate using my phone. Sorry, saw some Windows screenshots and saw you mention Windows so I assumed. Well then, if you scroll up on the link I posted you'll also find the Linux locations. Logs should tell you why gpu-next won't load. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a user wants to deviate from the default options, then they can copy the template into ~/.config: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/mpv#Configuration The provided template is completely commented out so there should be no conflicts. I added the following to the end of the template they provide: log-file=~~/log I set the video settings on Emby Theater to gpu-next and hardware acceleration Auto as per generiq preference and question. I let it play for until about 1,000 frames dropped. I saved a copy of the log file and have attached it. I think it is saying there is something wrong with a VAAPI driver, but honestly I could be way off. Hope this is informative and helps someone! mpv log 2023-04-07.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generiq 113 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 There is no mention of gpu-next in the log. This would appear to confirm my suspicion - it isn't being applied. Either it isn't scripted correctly, or the mpv build isn't correct. @alucryd @Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
