Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC-HC) - DXVA!

[lych_necross]

If I am using the vsync feature of mpc-hc, should I disable the vsync option in reclock? My instincts tell me that having both vsync tools enabled might cause problems.

If I am using the vsync feature of mpc-hc, should I disable the vsync option in reclock? My instincts tell me that having both vsync tools enabled might cause problems.

When using EVR Custom, with Alternate V-sync set, I have Reclock set to:

Slave reference clock to audio = TICKED

Media adaption speed set to ORIGINAL, and LOCKED is ticked.


This turns Reclock resampling off, leaving me with a WASAPI renderer.

Playback is smooth, really smooth, apart from a small glitch about once an hour.

If the MPC vsync correction is working for you then turn off Reclock's. Having both on at the same time causes periodic burst of judder every 20s to couple of minutes depending on hoe far away from the top of the screen the Reclock vsync target is set.

[Peuj]

The handiest way I know to apply changes is to reopen the same video with File / Recent Files (in Player "Keep history of recent opened files" must be checked).

If the options "Remember ..." in Miscellaneous are checked, the video restart from the same point and everything is quite fast.

Great, I'll use this for my test.

Thanks !!

Since the merge with Beliyaal branch, there's a slight delay after double click on a file (after the initial window is opened) and the moment it starts playing.
I've noticed the same issue but only when using EVR, it's OK with VMR7/9.

Since EVR is not working very fine on my XP system I'm usually not using it but for testing purposes, but I guess it must be annoying for people who are using EVR on a regular basis.

Just an update on my vc-1 seek problems. I am now getting mpc-hc crashing SOMETIMES if I seek in a vc-1 .m2ts file. Very annoying today as a friend was over and it took about 5 attempts to open the file and seek to 10mins into the file.

Here is some output I get when the crash occurs if its useful?

Hi !

Can we get a post here in the MPC-HC thread with specific instructions for the vsync option changes added by the Beliyaal merge ?

Thanks !

I second this. I haven't had the time to keep up with the Beliyaal thread so a lot of the new functionality is unclear to me. I'm sure it is for others too; or at least everyone on the planet who didn't religiously keep up with that thread.

Just looking through recent changes in svn and noticed this

Updated ffmeg
Fixed : crash on seek with True HD tracks

I only get the above quoted CRASH on seek with my True HD m2ts file. I get corruption / repeatedly repearing 2-3 frame bug on all vc-1 files after a couple of seeks.

Basically the fix for the True HD crash on seek in the svn above doesn't seem to work for me, and may have even made things worse as before these newer svn builds I didn't have any crashes seeking in True HD files. I will test later and try to figure out what exact version brought on the crashes, and see can I find a version that doesn't give me corruption / repeated frames on random seeks.

[alexins]

mark0077,

Can you try to start mpc in a command line with the option "mplayerc.exe /minidump" and upload the ".dmp" file generated after crash.

[mark0077]

mark0077,
Of course. I will try this when I am at my home machine later.

In regards to EVR (not Custom) and MPC AVC decoder.

In my case it sends video in YUY2 format, and blank screen is shown. Is it correct to use YUY2 with EVR? As I found out it works here only with RGB (with ffdshow).

Also, with MPC decoder, when I want to view PIN [OUT], it scrolls down a lot of data in the text window, and only then displays data for [OUT].

What is this scrolling for?

Is there a way to play BD with MPC-HC when the movie is split into a lot of m2ts files? for most BDs, the movie is contained in one or two big m2ts files and I can play it fine with MPC. But with some BDs, like Pixar/Disney films, it's split into a 100 little m2ts files and they're not all contiguous, i.e., 101.m2ts and 102.m2ts may be completely different sections of the movie. I have to resort to powerdvd, but I prefer MPC for many different reasons. I'd love it if BD navigation (not decryption; that could be done elsewhere) were added to MPC.

[Inspector.Gadget]

I still have the problem where the internal H.264 DXVA decoder stretches any content that isn't mod8 to fill out to mod8 dimensions, resulting in distortion of the bottom mod8-n pixels. I searched the thread but couldn't find a workaround for this problem. Has anyone discovered one?

In my case merging with beliyaal was too early as I reported earlier on this thread and on his also that there are problems in
reproduction while switching channels on a HDMI connected TV. (video stops or stutters like crazy after EDID)

SVN recovered from that error but beliyaal confirmed and claimed "it can't be fixed"

Now everyone with HDMI TV as only monitor (HTPC) have useless or severely crippled MPC HC.

So if I have something urgent to do during movie I must write down time mark instead of
simple pause and channel change for the rest of the family.

[Mixer73]

Unfortunately I have to agree, I just installed the x64 version, changed some video settings, played one video, and it crashed.

I'll go try the 32bit version and see how it goes.

[Barleyman]

Can you try to start mpc in a command line with the option "mplayerc.exe /minidump" and upload the ".dmp" file generated after crash.

Slight correction, MPC doesn't crash, it hangs. MPC window goes black and it's shown as "not responding" in task manager. Audio does keep on playing, thought. So no crash dump file, unfortunately.

Something going wrong with the VSYNC?

Open->DVD will play the main title of a Bluray.I don't think that works with the seamless branching titles he is talking about, does it? :confused:

No problem Here so you may wanna check your system (drivers, OS, DirectX ....and reset MPC's settings by deleting the .ini or regs ! :)

if 1049 works OK and >= 1050 not (beliyaal's also not) then there is at least something outside my system, wouldn't you agree?

BUT how do you explain that I and others don't have such problem ? and also I don't see how the changes from SVN 1050 could have lead to this problem !

@Everyone,

The recent changes should have fixed many bugs, and also introduced some new ones.

In order to get a clear and accurate view i invite everyone to verify that bugs can or cannot be reproduced or might even be fixed. (multiple verifications with different hardware/files are very welcome)

The full list can be found here (94 bugs)
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?limit=100&func=&group_id=170561&atid=854651&assignee=&status=1&category=1165516&artgroup=&keyword=&submitter=&artifact_id=&limitz=100&assignee=&status=1&category=&artgroup=&submitter=&keyword=&artifact_id=&submit=Filter&limitz=100&mass_category=&mass_priority=&mass_resolution=&mass_assignee=&mass_artgroup=&mass_status=&mass_cannedresponse=

Also any new problems need to be reported there.

When reporting or confirming bugs please provide the following data:

-Windows and servicepack versions
-MPC-HC build version
-If appropriate FFdshow build number
-Videocard and driver version
-Renderer used and options selected in the output settings
-A sample so we can test it on our systems


We are unable to reproduce many of the bugs currently reported, from my limited testing i could close over half of them.

We need detailed information on how to reproduce them

I think it will be better / faster if we all take 5-10 bugs and we all test them 2-3 day then another 5-10 bugs and so on...
We can start with those you said you can close them already !

I have this symptom as well but only when I use EVR CP.

What renderer are you using?

Happens with both EVR and VMR9, although latest MPC-HC build now doesn't use DXVA with VMR9 even on DXVA-compliant files and hence I've traded one problem for another.

Added : support for madVR (new Video Renderer);
Resource cleanup.



Beliyaal changes are the reason, nothing else. He confirmed that in his thread.

And yes, in every time I have several builds in separate folders with their own ini files, directx si always the latest as it is required.

Why there are no more reports I don't know, maybe majority watch movies on PC monitor ?

Well, will see what will happen in future releases, I can't oppose majority.

Where did you get the "changes" in the SVN cause your 1050 it's different from what I see in the SVN http://mpc-hc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mpc-hc/?view=log :confused:

[hoborg]

Hi.
I thing there is a problem in latest MPC-HC standalone video filter - h.264 are decoded very slow in software mode (maybe caused by ffmpeg update?).
In HPC-HC player it is OK, but if you ar use standalone filter, something seems to be broken.

Using XP SP3 VMR9

To reproduce:
Register MPC-HC sandalone filter
Disable H.264 decoding in MPC-HC
Disable h.264 (DXVA) decoding in standalone decoder
Start HD or FullHD video (h.264).
Noticed since SVN 1056 standalone filters.

I can reproduce this problem, but have not found a way to fix it. Basically I use the driver differently than the old version, and this bug in the driver isn't exposed by the old version. I have thought of one more thing to try, so I will let you know if that pans out.

MPC-HC (64-bit at leasts) won't play E-AC3 streams. It recognizes the length but it doesn't play. When you try to seek, MPC-HC crashes.

Works fine here, tried with both internal and ffshow (libavcodec). Plays OK, and I can seek fine...

Tested using version 1060 compiled by me (no mods, just libavcodec compiled using -march=core2)

edit: oops, no it doesn't on x64 version, 32 bit version OK. Note to self: read previous post properly before flapping ya lips :)

[clsid]

-march=core2 is not going to help much since all performance critical ffmpeg code is written in assembly.

Well, I know, but it makes me feel better :)
