OK another problem. If I have a video that is just under 1920x1080 (Like 1919x1079) MadVR tries to scale it causing huge strain on my lowly video card (G210 in main PC and INtel HD in laptop). This makes some HD movies unplayable. The only workaround I have found is to set ffdshow to resize always to 1920x1080. Any other way around this other than getting a beefier graphics card for my main PC? Would I be able to have everything set high, 1079 upscaling and CUDA acceleration on a GTX 560 (Thinking of getting the Palit 2GB version) for instance?

I've gone back to 0.52 (missed 0.53 download) for now because of the secondary screen issue.

A GTX560 should have plenty power to do any kind of upscaling you need.

If I get a video that is *just* under 1080p, I just play it at it's regular resolution and have black bars.

Should be fixed in v0.55.

Somehow your PC is always different to everybody else's...

Ok, v0.55 allows you to choose a present queue of 1.

A general question: Does windowed mode still work better for you than the new exclusive mode?

The logging is still in there. You can use v0.54 or v0.55.

Doing more testing I notice that the result is not always the same.
1) Black Screen at Refresh Rate change but Pause/Play fixes it: This is the most common with V45. Reclock does the Refresh Rate change and the screen goes to Black. A Pause brings it back to Windowed Mode and you see a still frame. Pressing Play starts playback and it goes back into Exclusive mode and plays on.
2) Exlcusive Mode fails hence the refreash rate change has no impact
3) Mismatch in Refresh Rate between madVR and Reclock - Less common and seems to occur more after frequent start /stops See pic but CCC agrees with madVR so Relcock is the odd one out...very odd!
Yeah, odd. Maybe v0.55 fixes this?

60fps at 60Hz works fine and 24fps at 60Hz does not!? That's extremely weird!! I've no explanation for that...

I have a large collection of logs for you, and I hope the naming makes sense.
Checking logs is a very time consuming thing for me. So although I appreciate the time you took to make and upload the logs, I have to pass. I don't think there's much I can see, anyway. Presentation glitches are usually happening outside of madVR's control, so the logs won't tell me much except that there were glitches, unfortunately.

I'm seeing that, too, and I think it's a bug in MPC-HC. But what can I say...

It should be visible but if your refresh is higher than the movie framerate it might not be too bad. A presentation glitch is a glitch that occurs outside of madVR's control.

Try v0.55.

Typical CPU when decoding 1080p without MadVR is 30-50% on a E7600 decoding with CoreAVC software only (I have a few things in the chain like ffdshow filters amd ReClock). But with MadVR it's using nearly 100% CPU.
Try v0.55. Not sure where high CPU consumption should come from, though. Is that a new problem? Or did you have that with older madVR versions, too?

In FSE mode CPU usage is about 15% even with FullHD 1080p/24 video (here I have to thank Cyberlink HAM also). No dropped/delayed frames and playback is smooth without notes.
Yey!

madVR does what the media player tells it to. You can configure the media player to do no scaling. E.g. with MPC-HC right click on the video, then choose "Video Frame -> Normal Size".

madVR v0.55 released

http://madshi.net/madVR.zip

Code:
* a couple of bugfixes and improvements for dual monitor setups
* added new render option tab named "exclusive mode settings"
* moved some exclusive mode options from "general settings" tab to new tab
* added separate flush options for exclusive mode (old and new path)
It seems that I have to keep both the old and new exclusive mode rendering paths, at least for the time being. Because of that I've renamed the option in the settings dialog. The option to switch between old <-> new is now named after what it really does. The name of the option is now "present only one frame at a time". That's a description of the old exclusive rendering mode. It's disabled by default.

SIGH. I know I like the green as do a few others. Sorry for those that liked the red. It really was hard to read for some of us and the green is a LOT better.

I saw this on my laptop yesterday. It's very possibly what caused it to not work right and why a reboot "fixed it". I happened to notice after the fact that I had a bunch of MPC-HC instances still running. BLECK!

Ok, as long as you hadn't forgotten about it that's fine. I know you're busy with far more important things.

For those that want to default their settings, the following key should be removed from the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\madshi\madVR

And delete the settings.bin. I think that'll do it, right?

There is still a problem but less important.

With madvr0.54, counter in fraps become 72fps instead of 96 fps and there are lots of presentation glitch.
With madvr 0.55 (even parameters :default parameters), Counter in fraps become 95 fps instead of 96 fps. Presentation glitch counter increase 1 by one each second.

screenshot here




Is there a difference between fullscreen exclusive mode of madvr 0.50 and fullscreen exclusive mode of madvr 0.55?

Why do you try to fraps your video player, anyway? That seems terribly backwards

Heh! That just makes lower res videos shrink into the diaplsy with black bars all sides. I think the ffdshow trick works better and I have setup profiles to make that happen.

And why not?

If you want to know, it's just to see if there is no problem with new version of madvr and also I have forgotten to turn off fraps after playing game. Moreover, I wouldn't see this problem if I didn't use fraps because presentation glitch counter is to little and light green is not very visible.

Maybe the problem seems lie to a problem with refresh rate or simliar thing. Fraps shows that there is a problem.

Here's a bat file for it. As always when editing the registry, BE CAREFUL!

Code:
@echo off
reg delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\madshi\madVR /f
if exist "settings.old" (del settings.old)
rename settings.bin settings.old
pause
I called it DefaultSettings.bat. To get your old settings back, just rename settings.old back to settings.bin. Enjoy!

I still can't get Zoomplayer get start in fullscreen mode on my second monitor using, for example, when running zplayer.exe /f:2 movie.avi the screen stays dark and Zoomplayer hangs. When I change the /f:2 to /f:1 it works fine.

Manually dragging Zoomplayer to monitor 2, loading the file and maximizing it works without any problems.

This also happened with all previous madvr versions which I tested.

W7 x64, XFX 6950,11.4, ZP 8.0 RC1

No problem, just thought it might have been useful.

It seemed more prevalent than usual with 0.54, but it may also have been because I was doing a lot of tests in fairly quick succession. (quitting and restarting each time I made and changes to the flushes)


0.55 is completely freezing on me when I open a file. If it's set to only present one frame at a time, I get a black screen, if that option is disabled it freezes on the first frame of video.

If I start the video with MPC-HC opened first, which makes it open in a window, and then switch to fullscreen, it works. (but I have the same issues as before)

Here's a log if it's any use: http://www.mediafire.com/?pi76zccs6nvc6vc

Madvr 0.54 and 0.55 breaks playback in ZP

Hi madshi,

starting fullscreen playback on second monitor with Zoom Player crashes it (no video, just audio, have to kill ZP process)

This happens with 0.54 and 0.55. Previous versions worked fine.
See the logfile attached please.

Thanks for your help,
Alex

I'm also one of "60fps at 60Hz works fine and 24/30fps at 60Hz does not". By does not I meant presentation glitches is not zero as 60fps/60Hz. Another thing when I set every flush settings for exclusive mode to no flush, switching track using MPC next/previous hangs the program.

0.54 and 0.55 display black screen on second monitor when started with D3D Fullscreen
0.53 works
Maybe it's because of different refresh rate between the 2 monitors?

0.55 has much lower CPU load than 0.53
if started on the same display everything works

An observation.

It seems presently (from my opinion at least) that poor madshi is trying his upmost to get these new exclusive mode issues fixed. When fixes for some get sorted it introduces problems for others. When madshi fixes those issues the first people have problems again. It seems to me this could be more me due to problems in gpu drivers than anything else. Maybe it would be an idea to have everyone reporting issues with the new exclusive mode to use a set ati or nvidia driver revision of madshis choosing. I feel it could greatly help this situation.
