daniel.bmyer 9 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 I tried setting it to stereo and gpu is up to date...same issue. I even plugged my laptop into my router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Ok, tonight I'll try to figure out why mpv is closing. Did you try other videos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel.bmyer 9 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Just to be clear, the new version doesn't error out. It just plays very choppy. I tried a number of 4k films, all play choppy. 1080P blu rays no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Out of curiosity, what happens if you set HWA to none? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel.bmyer 9 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Plays a bit better with HWA off but stil unwatchable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37055 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 how old is this laptop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel.bmyer 9 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 hmm, about 1.5yrs old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37055 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Is it just not powerful enough for hevc? Is the server on the same machine or different machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 His GPU supports it. I have a feeling there's something else happening. The standalone player closes after starting playback. I'd like to nail that down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 That shouldn't make a difference. It's direct playing. It would only matter if your network was unbale to keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 To rule that out, copy the movie to your laptop and try playing in the standalone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel.bmyer 9 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Copied the file to my usb drive. MPV errored out again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Ok, so you've got something environmental that we need to figure out. Tonight I want to try another build of mpv. I'll zip one up and post it. I'll try some different configs, too. MPV didn't throw an error in the log, it just closed. So something isn't stable, but I want to figure it out. Are you up for taking the time to test different things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel.bmyer 9 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Sure. I'm in eastern time zone so can do some testing after 7pm ish my time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'm west coast, so it'll likely be around 9pm your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel.bmyer 9 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 I'm around if you want to do some testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Yup. Ok, lets set a solid baseline. Here's a link to the official mpv download. Grab the latest and unzip in the same folder as the one that I gave you. Overwrite the files, and try playing your movie, again. https://mpv.srsfckn.biz/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel.bmyer 9 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Ok, that lasted about 7 seconds until it crapped out on me again. It either totally freezes up or "stops working". I downloaded the 64bit version as my OS is 64bit. I even did a fresh reboot Edited January 30, 2018 by daniel.bmyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 OK, in the mpv.conf, delete 'auto' from the 'hwdec=' line, and try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel.bmyer 9 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Ok, that plays and doesn't crap out. But it's very very choppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Ok, so I think there is something screwy with your HWA. Gimme a minute. I'm checking on something I'd like you to try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 OK, add the auto back the hwdec= and then put this on another line profile=gpu-hq This should make it worse, but in testing with others, it actually worked. I just want to rule it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
