I have postings all throughout, why do you feel I'm ignoring it?

 

 

I said 'in a way' :)

 

Maybe 'less enthused' would be a better word, after all, I've reported this 5 months ago.

 

Regardless, I would appreciate if we can get a resolution, I'd be happy to help with testing builds. Doofus suspects it has something to do with the parameters passed by ET to MPV, we can start there.

 

I'm not sure if all parameters are passed using 'playbackhandler.js' or some are hardcoded within ET.

Actually, the underlying problem may be ffmpeg. The only time I don't see errors is when I use cuda. The mpv standalone seems to be able to roll over them, and continue. But possibly how the stream is being served in emby, may be affecting mpv's ability to do that.

 

How does ffmpeg come into play in our scenario? I'm direct-playing the file, there is no ffmpeg running on my Emby Server while playing the mk3d movie...

@@shpitz461 try this. 

 

Use d3d11 copyback, and then put this in your mpv.conf

hwdec-image-format=yuv420p

This is just a test, don't leave it in there for all videos. If it works, I'll try and make an auto-profile to apply it only to these specific videos.

 

EDIT:

 

Scratch that. I can't get it to work in the standalone.

 

Can't select D3D copyback since it says Windows 8+ and I'm running Windows 7.

mpv is built on ffmpeg, and they add their algorithms to work with ffmpeg.

 

I keep forgetting you're using Windows 7

So I'm pretty sure that this is an ffmpeg bug, that electron is bumping heads with. I've just run a bunch more tests with the latest git build. I was trying to find a config that would eliminate the 'out of range' issue. I was not able to. CUDA works differently to the other hwdec. CUDA works directly with the GPU. The other options are fed to the GPU from ffmpeg, so CUDA essentially circumvents that, and works correctly. So until ffmpeg sorts it, and the mpv guys use that to build with, I don't see a way to make it work.

 

The other slight possibility is that the new electron builds, get sorted. But until Luke can figure out the issue with why electron 3.0.x is freezing Theater, I can't really test this.

But if mpv plays it fine outside of ET then how can we conclude it's mpv's fault?

 

We need to have a minimal number of parameters passed to mpv via ET and try to establish a baseline.

It looks like it's ffmpeg, not mpv. Without 3rd party involvement (in this case, electron), mpv just rolls over the 'out of range' elements. My supposition is that electron is interfering with that. 

 

The same commands are issued to mpv as an external player, and it plays. But inside Theater, where electron is running, it freezes. Electron is moving very fast with development. But right now, using anything above 2.0.x, causes problems with Theater.

Until the re-design of the UI happens, I think we're on hold. mpv has had hundreds of updates. I haven't tested this in a while. It might be interesting to see if any of them have made a difference. The demuxers have had some development, and I suspect that's where this issue might lay. Unless it's ffmpeg upstream. I'll try to test it over the weekend.

Sadly, no change in Theater. Almost no errors in the standalone, though. Hmmmm....... I wonder if it's because it's using a pipe and ffmpeg doesn't like it.....

It's not using a pipe.

 

I beg to differ...

[   0.008][v][ipc] Starting IPC master
[   0.008][d][ytdl_hook] loading mp.defaults
[   0.008][d][stats] loading mp.defaults
[   0.008][v][ipc] Listening to IPC pipe.
[   0.009][d][ytdl_hook] loading @ytdl_hook.lua
[   0.009][v][ipc_0] Client connected

I don't see this in the standalone log

Here it is in the playbackhandler. Line 951

if (isWindows()) {

        mpvInitOptions.socket = "\\\\.\\pipe\\emby-pipe";
        mpvInitOptions.ipc_command = "--input-ipc-server";

Well I'd have to look at what we're using it for but I'm sure it's there for a reason. It's probably needed to communicate with the player during playback.

Maybe....but that's the issue, here. Without that, I'll bet it will play. With it, ffmpeg doesn't like it, and you get this until ffmpeg crashes.

Testing in standalone with 

input-ipc-server=\\.\pipe\tmp\mpv-socket

A quick look at the logs, and the error is reproduced. I'll see what happens at the 26 minute mark.......
