stuttering, frame dropping with 24fps content since 2.9.9

[Guest asrequested]

Before I do more extensive testing, I wanted to see what the resource usage was when using

vf=d3d11vpp=deint=yes:interlaced-only=yes:mode=adaptive

The results are very good (ignore the CPU usage, I had other things running)

Are you using an mpv.conf as well as the theater settings?

no, just ET available settings

 I thought you were using the Nvidia option for deinterlacing?

I thought you were using the Nvidia option for deinterlacing?

i was and may switch back to it, I was hoping the arT deinterlace might assist with the live tv audio drift but alas doesn’t help

[Guest asrequested]

@@PrincessClevage

 

If you have an Nvidia GPU and want to try using it to deinterlace, try this:

 

1. Follow this guide to set up using an mpv.conf

 

2. Add this line, to the mpv.conf

vd-lavc-o=deint=adaptive

3. In the Theater settings, set hardware acceleration to Cuda or Cuda copy back

 

4. Disable all other video filters, and set deinterlace to 'no'

 

5. Test playback

Well, one thing that's a problem, is if the 'auto' deinterlace option in Theater acts on what ffprobe returns, then it's going to be wrong.

 

 

720 is always progressive

That resembles a smoking gun, or one of possibly several issues.

[Guest asrequested]

Playing a 720p Live TV stream with no mpv.conf, and only using deinterlacing=yes in Theater's settings, the logs reveal it's performing a non-adaptive deinterlace. So it looks like it's applying deinterlacing, regardless.

What is ours missing from that?

 

You're just using deninterlace=yes

    list.push('--hwdec=' + (options.hwdec || 'no'));

    if (options.deinterlace == 'yes') {
        list.push('--deinterlace=' + (options.deinterlace || 'auto'));
    }

The filter string that I'm applying, is

 

https://mpv.io/manual/stable/#video-filters-d3d11vpp

vf=d3d11vpp=deint=yes:interlaced-only=yes:mode=adaptive

And my suggestion would be to ditch 'auto'. ffprobe is making mistakes.

[Guest asrequested]

You've got too many options, selected. That's a lot processing. And if you're using refresh rate switching, interpolation is redundant. Some of those options depend on other options. They aren't all independent. Unless you understand them, it's probably better to disable them.

[Luke 37092]

No, windows specific. It requires D3D11va

 

 

What windows systems will support this?

[Guest asrequested]

Windows 8 and above, but I should explain that deinterlace=yes uses vf=d3d11vpp=deint=yes. It used to use vf=d3d11vpp=deint=yes:interlaced-only=yes, but in these shinchiro builds, interlaced-only has be been removed. I don't know what is used if CUDA is used for HWA, but the best option seems to be the one I posted, earlier.

 

What I've done is just kept using the interlaced-only option, along with adaptive.

[lifespeed 42]

I'm glad you guys are looking into this, the last release playback quality leaves a lot to be desired.  It sounds like you're looking at the right areas.  I'm not sure if I can help with testing, it sounds like you have it figured out at this point.  But if you need another PC perspective let me know and I'll try to help.  I have two Intel i7 desktops with nVidia GTX770 and GTX970, as well as an i3 laptop with integrated graphics.

 

It would be great to see these fixes integrated into a released version someday.
