Is my card capable of Open GL?

[DrJekle 4]

Question regarding if my video card is capable of the open glad option in theater. I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 and I use to be able to have the option checked and everything set to auto.

 

Now theater will not play anything. I just uninstalled and reinstalled theater and tried playback and everything works, but the minute ni select open GL it will not play anything. Even after restarting and unchecking open GL still no play back....

Let me know if any other files needed

It supports it. What hardware acceleration are you using?

[DrJekle 4]

Well I tried auto, none, Nvidia and can't get emby theater to play at all

What specifically happens?

[DrJekle 4]

Select media (movie, live tv, recorded tv) hit play and circle pops up and just spins. Eventually times out.

 

I did finally uninstall and reinstall theater and selected playback of live tv. Worked, then I went into openGL settings, selected auto only and tried playback again, and nothing works.

Try using spline36  as the default scaling method, instead of opengl-hq

No luck there, just spinning circle of annoyance

Ok, so that's the same thing. When did you last update your driver? Try reinstalling the latest driver

And use nvdec copyback for hardware acceleration

Ok, replace the mpv app in Theater, with the one I'm attaching. Just unzip and overwrite to this location:

 

%AppData%\Roaming\Emby-Theater\system\x64\mpv

Done and still spinning circle

Ok, so one more time, download the mpv I'm attaching. This time, unzip it to its own folder, anywhere you like. Double click the mpv.exe and drag 'n' drop a video onto it. Does it play?

I was able to play a file by dragging and dropping it. Windows defender did pop up asking permission though when I first opened mpv

Ok, that's good. That means your gpu is fine. Ok, so try this. If you look where you unzipped that, you'll see a folder 'portable_config", in there is a file 'mpv.conf', open it. Delete the line 'gpu-api=opengl', and change 'hwdec=nvdec' to 'hwdec=d3d11va'. Then repeat the test. Does it play? (I just spotted an error I made in the original mpv.conf. I used a '-' not '=')

 

It should look like this

hwdec=d3d11va
profile=gpu-hq

Still drag and drop test?

Yes

If it doesn't work, mpv will just shut down.

[Guest asrequested]

Because of my previous error, try again with this config

gpu-api=opengl
hwdec=nvdec
profile=gpu-hq

When I open it already has that in the file

But there was a character error. Try again with what I posted, to be sure.

[DrJekle 4]

I see it now. That works as well

Ok, good. Did you also try the d3d11 config?

[DrJekle 4]

Yep that works for as well
