How to configure profile rules:
The madVR settings profiling logic is very flexible, but also requires a bit of scripting for best effect. Script language is pretty easy. Basically scripting is expected to be a string of "if", "else if" and "else" statements. Every "if" (or "else if") statement contains of one or more value comparisons and selects one profile to be activated. Each value comparison must be placed in brackets. By using the logical operations "and" or "or" you can check multiple values to create more complex decisions.
Let's look at an example. The following script selects one of 4 profiles, depending on the source dimensions and the frame rate after deinterlacing. I think the script is pretty much self explaining:
Code:
if (srcWidth <= 1050) and (srcHeight <= 768) and (deintFps < 31) "SD 24fps"
else if (srcWidth <= 1050) and (srcHeight <= 768) "SD 60fps"
else if (deintFps < 31) "HD 24fps"
else "HD 60fps"
Supported keywords and operators:
Code:
if/else statements: "if", "else if", "elseif", "elsif", "else"
logical operators: "and", "or", "&&", "||"
equal check: "==", "="
unequal check: "!=", "<>", "#"
bigger/smaller check: "<", ">", "<=", ">="
boolean "not" operator: "not", "!"
Supported numerical values:
Code:
srcWidth, srcHeight src width/height (cropping according to settings)
croppedSrcWidth, croppedSrcHeight cropped src width/height
uncroppedSrcWidth, uncroppedSrcHeight uncropped src width/height
AR, uncroppedAR, encodedAR cropped AR (aspect ratio), uncropped AR, encoded AR,
targetWidth, targetHeight width/height after scaling (cropping according to settings)
croppedTargetWidth, croppedTargetHeight width/height after scaling cropped source
uncroppedTargetWidth, uncroppedTargetHeight width/height after scaling uncropped source
scalingFactor.x/y overall scaling factor
fps, deintFps, bitDepth source frame rate, framerate after deinterlacing, bitdepth
displayMode.x/y, refreshRate display mode information
runtime movie runtime (in minutes)
Supported boolean values:
Code:
4:2:0, 4:2:2, 4:4:4, RGB which pixel format does the source have?
HDR is the video HDR?
srcInterlaced is the source interlaced?
filmMode is film mode (IVTC) active?
MPEG2, VC-1, h264 which codec is the source encoded in?
exclusive, overlay, windowed rendering mode
fullscreen is playback borderless fullscreen (can be windowed or exclusive)
AMD, nVidia, Intel which GPU manufacturer are we rendering on?
smoothMotion is smooth motion FRC active?
variableAR does this video have variable ARs?
hdr is the video HDR?
battery is this a laptop running on battery?
Supported string values:
Code:
mediaPlayer media player exe file name
filePath, fileName, fileExt e.g. "c:\movie.mkv", "movie.mkv", "mkv", wildcards supported
display name of the active display device
One more example to show how to use numerical, boolean and string values:
Code:
if ((not 4:2:0) or (AR = 16:9)) and (fileName = "*horribleSubs*.mkv") "Weird profile" else "Normal profile"
