Guest asrequested Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Damn! I wish I had a 4K TV. I really want to mess with this. Jeremy was having issues, too. Try changing this to 4, also. That should put it in DXVA native <HwaMode>3</HwaMode> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad_w 3 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 That's not going to cut it. You could try setting HW acceleration to none, but I think you're going to have some problems. Try playing it with kodi, like Jeremy does 4K content rely heavily on the CPU when using hardware acceleration? I was under the impression this was pushing the graphics hardware reason I ask is I've been trying to push the hardware as hard as I can go with chroma scaling algorithms in madVR, but any HEVC content is struggling even on the lowest settings. I figured a GTX1060 would be able to handle it, but never thought of the CPU.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can test adding it in the directshowplayer.xml, yourself. <HwaEnabledCodecs> <string>H264</string> <string>VC1</string> <string>MPEG2</string> <string>HEVC</string> </HwaEnabledCodecs> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37230 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 In addition to that, you would need to enable hardware acceleration in the app's video settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should put it in DXVA native <HwaMode>3</HwaMode> During my previous test I tried setting this from the gui by setting hardware acceleration to DXVA, i assume this xml setting does the same as the drop down setting it in the GUI? If not i'll try using the xml. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) In the UI there isn't a setting for DXVA2 native, only copyback which requires the GPU to be selected. I'm assuming Babgvant has written that instruction into the XML. DXVA2 native doesn't require that. Setting the number to 4 should use the native setting in LAV. I was just trying to test that option. Can you play 4k 8bit files? Edited April 5, 2017 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37230 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Here's a version that adds DXVANative to the config screen, and updates the HWCodecs: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a7xerjlofu0r4u7/emby.theater.zip?dl=0 You can just unzip it and run portable. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37230 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 In the config file you may also want to set HwaResolution to 7. At the default value, non intel gpu's are excluded from gpu acceleration at 4k resolution. i'll have to ask babgvant about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Just testing it. DXVA2 doesn't appear to use the HWA at all, with the resolution set to 1 or 7. I watch my GPU and CPU. GPU frequency barely changes, and CPU assumes all the load. Copyback we know works with HEVC in HWA codec list. UPDATE: Using edge filters, a little more of the GPU is used, but still only half of the bandwidth, around 600MHz of 1150MHz. But I'm only testing with 1080p 10bit Edited April 6, 2017 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Now I see the same system resources being used as I do when using WMP with the installed LAV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37230 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Any HwaMode less than 0 = Auto. It looks like it works on Auto, then when you try to force dxvanative it doesn't work. I'll have to ask babgvant about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to ask babgvant about that. But when I set it to 4, it works. You just have to make sure its the last thing you set, and restart the app, or it'll get written over. Here's the other thing that happens with HEVC playback in ET. It doesn't happen in other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) OK that's weird. When I copy my other config file over, it works. But when I use the UI settings and it rewrites the config, it doesn't work. But the copyback works fine Edited April 6, 2017 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
