no problems at all with any of those new version. maybe its just because Im running a 60Hz display on XP, but I really dont know where all the problems you guys have come from.

Should be fixed in v0.55.
Great! It works now. However, switching to fullscreen is faster than ever on the secondary display.

Any possibility of making it... blue?

It happened to me. madshi is using nvidia 270.51 and I was still using the previous ones. I updated mine and some of the problems vanished.

OK. Now I've discovered that I have new problems with the custom resolutions creation but that's not madshi's fault...

I had to nuke that driver off my machine. I could never get it to stay in sync with audio. I rolled back to the latest WHQL driver (268 I think or whatever it is). Haven't have any problems since but, I also haven't tested madVR on that machine in a couple days. I will be doing so tomorrow.

0.55 tested

Hi,

Tested 0.55 on 24Hz LCD TV and following numbers were to see:

- black screen when I have "launch in fullscreen function i MPC-HC" enabled or switch too quickly from windowed - ctrl+alt+delete has to be used in this case + kill mpc-exe

- if starting from windowed and then expanding to fullscreen exclusive ( 2 steps ), video starts ok ( up to 10-15 dropped frames and occasionally 1 delayed frame and 1 glitch after both steps )

- playback fine, when resetting the stats, 0 dropped frames, 0 glitches after 30minutes ( fps 23.976 / display 24 ). Additionally, in the OSD field "1 frame drop every..." I get stats like 14 days, 124days, 61 days, 12days, 6 days, 22days...after 30 minutes of playback. Is this fine?

Pluto

Actually it would be pretty cool if you can add a dropdown for us to choose the color we want the OSD to have

Oh dear... v0.55 has broken mine too. Black screens on either monitor (or amp), or an MPC-HC hang. latest everything (MPC 3033, ffdshow, etc)


update... installed 0.54 again, everything spot on again. Wierd!

0.54

Going full screen on 2nd screen freeze MPC-HC.
Here's a log http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CD5ZHAND


Also the new rendering path on ATI 4550 is worse...the +99% GPU usage is effectively causing massive drops.

Hi, just moved to 0.55 from 0.51 and noticed that moving mpc from one screen to another screen is not anymore flawless, the windows/mouse get stuck and video paused for half a second before allowing me to pass from one screen to another. It’s king of awkward.
It’s probably since v0.53, but I can’t find this precise version to test.
I’m using a Radeon HD6950 with 11.3 drivers
Do you need a log?

Yes.

You can try playing with the flush settings in the "exclusive mode settings" tab. Maybe that helps.

Yes. v0.50 was a first try and (although it seemed to work well for some people) had many bugs and didn't do things really properly. I hope v0.55 does things properly now.

Can you create a log with 60fps at 60Hz (no glitches), and another log with 30fps at 60Hz (glitches)? Maybe if I compare them I can see something. Or maybe not. Might be worth a try, in any case...

Weird. Can anybody reproduce that?

Well, I had a similar feeling, but I hope that by offering the flush settings again that I might be able to offer a version that works for everybody (after manual tweaking if necessary).

Some things are real bugs. E.g. the fullscreen freeze in v0.54/0.55. Other things are worth looking into, e.g. why some people have glitches with 24fps at 60Hz while they don't have any glitches with 60fps at 60Hz, which doesn't make any sense to me.

Which refresh rate and movie frame rate are we talking about here?

Actually older versions didn't handle this properly. I know it looked "flawless". However, try this with an older version:

(1) start windowed one monitor 1.
(2) go fullscreen. madVR should switch to exclusive mode.
(3) go windowed.
(4) move window to monitor 2.
(5) go fullscreen. madVR fails to switch to exclusive mode.

The newer versions fix this. You can now do the above and go fullscreen on either monitor. The cost of this fix is that everytime you move to a different monitor, madVR has to reset the Direct3D device. Which causes that half second pause you've noticed. Sorry, there's nothing I can do about it.

Sweet. Glad I was able to contribute finally. LOL! It should be fairly safe given that I backup the settings.bin. That way they can revert. I never like when these things go wrong. It allows people to test settings, too. BUT, and here's the big warning people (!!!) - if you use this multiple times, say, to backup your current settings, set to default, mess with settings, set to default AGAIN, you will have lost your original settings. So if you want to do testing like that BACKUP the settings.old file! You have been warned!

Well sorry but I don't need to use exclusive mode (as I don't like screen flash when switching to fullscreen, and that I don’t see improvement using exclusive mode)
Will stick to an old version as it satisfies me. Thanks for all the work you’ve done.
Except if you don't reset the Direct3D device when exclusive mode is disable, but I don’t know if it’s possible.

I tried many combinations and no change. I always have the problem.

With 0.50 I have no problem but since 0.51 I have the problem that I described you.

I think the old version should have a higher CPU consumption, too, if you move the media player to a different monitor.

Do you actually *see* the glitches? I mean is motion non-smooth? v0.50 did not even know if there were glitches, even if there were some.

Finally got around to testing on my nVidia, underpowered X2 machine. Works great! Very minor frame drops when doing stupid things like chapter skipping, pause/play, going in and out of FSE mode, etc. Once you let it settle down I lose maybe 1 frame every 3-5 minutes (mainly cause nVidia has no clue what 23.976 actually means. SIGH). It's freaking gorgeous on that Samsung panel. Man I need to replace my living room TV! Anyway, I'm extremely pleased with 0.56. Works on my AMD machines, as well.

Probably, but to be honest it's kind of difficult to see a difference on a quad core at 4Ghz, 1080p playback plays around 10% cpu so I never had problem with such things...
