mark235 5 Posted January 13, 2018 Author Posted January 13, 2018 @@Luke, is there any chance of getting Audio Passthrough to work together with the required settings for Smoothmotion?
Luke 42077 Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 That's really a question for mpv. If you want to play with various params using mpv standalone or mpv.conf that would be helpful. Thanks.
mark235 5 Posted January 13, 2018 Author Posted January 13, 2018 Sure. Where is mpv.conf located? I couldn't find it in AppData\Roaming\Emby-Theater
Guest asrequested Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 I'd suggest you run mpv as a potable and use an mpv.conf, independently of Theater. And then read the manual, for the different options https://mpv.io/manual/stable/#video
Guest asrequested Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Look for video-sync and/or display-sync

Guest asrequested Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 You actually want to set Oversample as the "Temporal Axis" scaling method. Putting it in Default scaling method is using it as the scaler for changing the size of the video (such as 720 -> 1080). Temporal Axis is your time-based scaling to change framerate (display 24hz video on 60hz display). Yes, you also have to have "interpolation" setting enabled in order to turn on Temporal scaling. And it looks like there are varying options for smoothness and sharpness https://mpv.io/manual/stable/#options-tscale

Thanks. Struggling with making my own MPV build here, this stuff is a bit outside my comfort zone. If somebody has a recent build available with an mpv.conf file included that I can change, that would help a lot.
mark235 5 Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 The Compilation instructions on this page assume some familiarity with application building, but I don't have any. https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv#compilation The mpv build system uses waf, but we don't store it in the repository. The ./bootstrap.py script will download the latest version of waf that was tested with the build system. I'm already lost on what the first step is, let alone how to include the required dependencies mentioned further down in the paragraph
Guest asrequested Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 You don't need to build your own. Or are you trying to do that to run oversample with bitstreaming enabled?
mark235 5 Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 Yes, to test different options with those 2 settings. But maybe I'm missing the obvious here, and there is an easier way?
Guest asrequested Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Compiling your own mpv is pretty much for developers. I don't know how to do it. I actually have very smooth playback. Are you still having issues?
mark235 5 Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 No issues with the smooth playback, but I can't bear to miss audio passthrough...
Guest asrequested Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 But do you not get smooth motion with audio passthrough?
mark235 5 Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 No, Smooth Motion is not present when Audio Passthrough is enabled. I do get a different result now when Audio Passthrough is disabled. In my previous test, I still got PCM audio on my receiver. But I just tested again, and now I don't get any audio at all anymore. But Smooth Motion is very much present.

But Smooth Motion is very much present. don't forget to try to only set your options in your mpv.conf and leave the corresponding settings in the UI unticked or on 'auto' the way ET passes options to mpv often overwrites the ones in the mpv.conf and maybe try to update mpv to v0.28 from 2017-12-25, the release version of ET still comes with the old v0.27 from 2017-09-13 Edited February 12, 2018 by daedalus
Guest asrequested Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 And you can use this in the conf video-sync=display-resample interpolation=yes tscale=oversample display-sync-active
daedalus 434 Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 display-sync-active Return whether --video-sync=display is actually active. thats no option thats a property that shows what video-sync is active
mark235 5 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 2 MPV logs attached. The only difference in MB Theater settings is whether Audio Passthrough is enabled or not. log 1: Audio Passthrough worked, but no smoothmotion log 2: no audio, but smoothmotion worked In both tests, all Video settings in MB Theater were set to auto or unticked, and the settings below were added to the .conf file: video-sync=display-resampleinterpolation=yes tscale=oversample Also, this change to main.js is active on my system: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/50181-stutter-issue-with-software-cause/?p=483016 I didn't update MPV yet to the newest version. Is this done by replacing the "C:\Users\Mark\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Theater\system\x64\Mpv" folder with the newest release? If yes, which download should I use? There are multiple on the MPV website, not sure which to grab. 1.theatermpvlog_Audio_passth_enabled.txt 2.theatermpvlog_Audio_Passth_disabled.txt

mark235 5 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 Updated to latest MPV build and the result with Audio Passthrough disabled is different: very heavy video stutter. Audio is still not present. Result with Audio Passthrough enabled is the same as previous test.
