Mbedford 5 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) Hi support team, Emby theatre just upgraded itself from 3.0.11 > 3.0.13. Its now dropping frames, doesn't matter what codec type it seems to be, example attached. On 3.0.11, everything was silky smooth, even 4k is playing smooth as now on 3.0.11. I note in the change log that mpv was updated in 3.0.13. Most likely the cause of the issue I presume. Can you investigate and fix? Or allow a way for me to rollback to older version of MPV or back to 3.0.11? Note: Using Emby in Chrome = no dropped frames. Note2: If you remember my setup, Emby server, all media, Emby theater, Chrome, all on the same PC. Edited December 21, 2020 by Mbedford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37118 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Hi, try setting the video renderer to gpu in the app video settings. Please see if that helps. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbedford 5 Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 That worked! Simple fix! Sorry I thought auto would be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sooty234 266 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Looking at the screenshot, it appears that hardware acceleration is broken again with libmpv under electron. Your hardware acceleration is set to auto, yes? But it's defaulting to auto-copy, which is mpv working around the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sooty234 266 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Yup! It's broken again. If you use the libmpv renderer and try to force a non copy mode for hardware acceleration, it fails back to software decoding. I tried using the last build for 0.32 and the same issue is present. So, electron.... Probably this again.... https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/7769 Edited December 24, 2020 by sooty234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speechles 1920 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) @sooty234 Remember that "best hardware" (aka HTPC) thread? Are you blushing? Edited December 24, 2020 by speechles 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha... but in this case, we just use the other renderer and all is well. This is actually an Emby issue, anyway.
