If I want to enable virtual 7.1 sound on my headphones, should I change the sound settings on wmpc + windows or not ?


Hi, please direct your non MADVR related questions to a more relevant area.

well not the best thread for this.

it really depends on multiply factors.
how good is the implementation of your headphones is.
alternatively you could use ffdshow audio for doubly headphones (i absolutely despise DH clipping simulator but that's just me) or even many other old hrtf implementation in this case you want it to be in stereo only mode.

then there is the free and "fine" microsoft sonic which needs no advanced setting you just have to make sure your headphone sor the software of them is trying to do virtual sourround so again stereo only mode.

and if you want to use the virtual surround function directly from your headphones you have to send the multi channel signal to the device/driver which needs a setup.

If you want to use virtual surround on your headphones you should use HeSuVi.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/hesuvi/

It's got algorithms for tons and tons of virtual surround systems and plenty of knobs to tweak.

And you should configure your media player audio filters to output 8 channel PCM to the Windows audio mixer so that HeSuVi has all the information to mix into 2 channel headphone virtual surround.

My point is, 10xx series is far more compatible at this point in time, there's NO REASON to buy turing for Madvr.

A lot of people have and use them without issues, they obviously had good reason performance being the main one. TETO.

what do you mean with "it pushes RGB"?red and yellows, plus contrast are pushed too much on a freshly calibrated display using the previous build.

So I tried more tonight to work on custom timings.

Stock nVidia 23Hz mode always had me at 4.40 minutes per drop/skip.

So I let madVR apply the EDID / CTA timings to my 23Hz mode and the mode went into my nVidia custom resolutions just fine. I rebooted and made sure it was still there and then applied it and started a movie.

Then I let it run for over 30 minutes and went into the optimize and this is what I get:

https://imgur.com/tQoFxPC

With the stock EDID / CTA timings that madVR picks up and uses I get 1.10 hours which is an improvement.

Problem is, I can't seem to improve any better than this. I tried to apply every single mode below on that optimize screen and every single one said out of range on my JVC NX5.

1.10 hours is definitely an improvement over 4.40 minutes, but I guess I thought I would be able to do better than that.

Is there a reason every single optimized timings that madVR came up with are out of range for my JVC?

And what about the games? Sorry for the off-topic!

@SirMaster
So at least some success since the last time :)
Your custom resolutions seem to be transfered by madVR to nvidia driver and aren´t reset or overwritten.
So now you´re running into your display´s limitations.
Some displays accept a very wide range of porches/frequencies, others not.
Maybe you have a picky one.
Madshi uses an algorithm to make an evaluation of the given display modes, but in reality there are many more.
If you´re willing to there´s a chance for improvement, if you find out, which parameter gets out of range.
You have only 3 parameters to consider, because only three are changed by madVR: the pixel clock, the horizontal back porch and the vertical back porch. The combination of these three builds more or les teh custom resolution with a better or worse value for the drop/repeat time.
You can try to find out range limits by systematically changing only one parameter at one time. Do this within madVR or in nvidia driver, whatever you like (you say madVR works)
So: pixel clock shouldn´t have a lower limit. But an upper limit. Raise the pixel clock in steps until you get your device´s error message.
The porches can have upper limits and lower limits or sometime even multiplicator limits (the value maybe must be dividable by 2 or 4 or 8).
If you´re lucky, you´ll find only SOME restrictions.
If you´re unlucky, your device is very very picky and accepts ONLY the EDID one and rejects every other mode.
But: it seems that there must be a range of allowable input values, because your device seems to work with a mode with 4.4 minutes drop time and a mode with 1.1 hours drop time...
So when knowing the timings of your stock nvida 23Hz mode, then you already have a small guideline to find out the limits, maybe.

So fiddle with the 3 parameters (only one at one time) and find out more about your device´s capabilities.
Report back the results and then I can try to improve your custom resolution or we can find out that there is maybe no room for improvement. Depends on your device and your findings ;)

Thanks, I will try to narrow it down.

I find it strange because I know other people with a JVC NX projector who are able to use the optimized timings on theirs without it saying out of range.

I also tried this process on my pc monitor and also a Samsung TV I have and both those displays also rejected every single custom timing except the EDID / CTA one.

Either I’m really unlucky or something is going wrong.

Hi there, quick Q:

I see a lot of posts about the drops per minute (or whatever the stat is).

Mine always shows 1 drop every 41 seconds, but then under dropped and repeated frames, it's always 0.

Is this a bug or something? Should I be doing something to get this to be longer?

I watched a movie, 1h 45m last night. 0 drops, but the OSD still has the same estimate. I'm on a GTX 1080.

Where you see "1 drop every 41 seconds" is always refering to the display's clock deviation, as you see further up, to correct this you would just switch to a better matching refresh rate. Smoothmotion fixes this mostly at the cost of some sharpness, you could turn it off and see if you see any jittery behaviour that you dont like.

Where you see "dropped frames" might just be showing the buffer/presentation glitches like a frame being lost in the buffer or switching to fullscreen, but not the actual display drops, not sure.

hannes69
22nd April 2020, 15:41
Do you have smoothmotion enabled? Then there are no drops or repeats.
Are the drops real or not (can you see a frame drop every 41 seconds or not?)
If you can´t see them, either there aren´t frame drops or you simply can´t perceive them ;)
Or short: if you don´t SEE a problem, then there IS NO problem :)

If there are drops every 41 seconds and this bothers you, then use smoothmotion or reclock or custom resolutions (depending on taste and/or due to technical reasons like bitstreaming audio...)

I am using smooth motion. W/o it, if the display is at 23hz or 60hz, there is noticeable judder. I was unable to find a solution to correct it. Seems to happen on other sources too, not just my PC w/ madvr, such as Apple TV 4K.

With judder, there are still no dropped frames, but it still says it will drop a frame very few minutes.

I don't notice them, so I guess to me there's no issue.

I would very much like to disable smooth motion, but can't take the judder.

I haven't tried the custom resolution option, but I have used the optomize in madvr. Even after successfully having madvr update the clocks, it still judders, which I believe is how my PJ handles 4k (eshift).

From what others are saying about my model (JVC LX-UH1), the internals up the refresh to 60hz internally, even if you feed it 23hz.
If you disable eShift in the PJ, it is very smooth at 23hz, as it should be, but you lose HDR and 4K... so smooth motion seems to be the best compromise I could come up with short of buying a new PJ.

Ok, when you´re using smoothmotion, then of course you don´t have dropped or repeated frames. Smoothmotion is one of the techniques to avoid frame drops.
The custom resolution option is the same like madVR´s optimization (madVR creates custom resolutions) or manually creating a custom resolution in the GPU driver or with CRU (EDID overrides) with using madVR´s numbers. The approach is always the same and the technique behind it is a custom resolution, you simply have different ways to create them.
When your projector handles internally all refresh rates as 60Hz, then you have to use 60Hz as refresh rate and use smoothmotion. You can´t change the internal behaviour of your projector by using custom resolutions or different refresh rates.
So yes, beside buying a new projector you are already using the best solution in your scenario and that is smoothmotion in your case.

Hi all.

I am having a bit of a problem with stutter on my 4K mkv files. My HTPC's CPU is an Intel i5 8600 and GPU is a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 Windforce 6G OC. I use MPC-BE with madVR. MadVR was set up according to the instructions on the Kodi Forum here:

https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=259188

1080p plays smoothly and looks great. I have 2 4K movies, and both stutter every few seconds.

The GPU is being overtaxed, as while these movies are playing it is working at 95-100%. With the current madVR settings the figure is about 40% for 1080p.

Attached is a link to the stats. Is there anything I might tweak in madVR in order to reduce the burden on the GPU and eliminate stutter, yet maintain quality in 1080p files?

Please let me know if there is any other information i can provide.

Cheers,

Allan

Hi there.
I had issues with this recently. Check out page 1 of this thread. Look at the profiles section.

Make a profile for 1080p and one for 4K.

That will let you have different settings based on the resolution of the movie.

For 4K use lower settings.

Please note, I cannot see your attachment on my phone, but just thought I’d share.

Question.
I have LG OLED E6.

When I watch HDR movie with Black Level set to LOW which is how it suppose to be I have weird tiny white pixels ONLY on heavy Black screen, like at a start of a movie logo or very very dark background and something bright near it, there would be pixels everywhere or on the logo.

Changing PC 0-255 to TV 16-235 in MadVR fix it or changing Black Level on TV to High fix it.

HDR should be LOW, why do I have those pixels errors? should MadVR stay 0-255 or do I need to change it to 16-235 because it's not reasonable to do that.

Thats odd, no idea whats causing that, stuck pixel?, you doing compensation cycles daily?.

Anyone, try using HIGH with these settings on your PC, most people use these:

PC/GPU set this to FULL RGB 4:4:4
MADVR - set this to 0-255
LG TV - set to HIGH

Hi,

Can I make madVR process every other frame and drop the other one? Would the result look OK?

Reasoning: I have some 50p media and tried to play it in intel hd 4000 graphics pc. madvr can't keep up with it while using other than bilinear upscaling, while the 24p files play OK. So I have the crazy idea that how it would be if I can make the mpc, filters or madvr to play the file at 25p, so that madvr can render the every other frame and just drop the other one, and have more time for processing.

Yes, they play when I set easier settings but I just wondered how crazy is this idea?

Hi coyboydude99. Not sure why it is taking so long for the stats pic to be approved. Hopefully it will be approved soon. Thanks for the reminder on profiles. Unfortunately, the prospect of getting my head around scripting is worrying. It is not a thing I have attempted before. I was hoping, that once the stats pic was approved, I might get some advice on which of the settings may be causing the GPU to work so hard. Something I could tweak to strike a balance between quality on 1080p and below, and performance with respect to 4K.

That said, I'll spend a bit more time on profiles over the next day or so and see how I go.

Thanks again.

Use something like Google Drive. You can share the image (it gives you a link). Post the link. No need to have the link approved, so it might save some time.

Also the profile scripting is like 2-3 lines. Nothing crazy. People here can help.

I use profiles for 1080p, 2160p24 and 2160p60.

I can process a lot more 1080p than 2160p60 frames, so that content will have different settings.

Thanks again cowboydude99.

All,

I have made a start with Profile scripting to help resolve stuttering in 4K video. It seems that changing from NGU to Lanczos chroma upscaling, as recommended in the tutorial Kodi tutorial for improved GPU performance for 4K, drops my GPU use from near 100% with numerous dropped frames down to 77-80% and no dropped frames.

Starting simple with scripting, as it is like learning a foreign language to me :-) I just wanted to do a basic switch from NGU to Lanczos for 4K video the profile and script here:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ajkfvd4XPdI2i8s1pWvleB40krXMwQ?e=04fMp7

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ajkfvd4XPdI2i8s0tECFjmuzAjGi0Q?e=VUSBXg


And the following profile and script for anything 1080p and below:


https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ajkfvd4XPdI2i8szzgEcy4MyoRPalw?e=0K2mgi

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ajkfvd4XPdI2i8s2LllOabcouTg8bQ?e=X6gMaL


However, madVR now plays all video including SD with Lanczos. I am probably missing something quite obvious. Appreciate any advice on how I can use profiles to just change chroma upscaling for anything above 1080 to Lanzos and default to NGU for all others.

Cheers,

Allan

Put the script on the profile group. And remove the commands you have entered.

If (scrHeight > 1080) “4K”
Else “not4K”

I believe that should do it.

Thanks Cowboydude and Asmodian.

As I thought, something obvious. Sorry for the noob queries. However, I have done as you have suggested but I can't get it to switch from Lanczos back to NGU for SD and HD video. I have added the following script to the Profile page:

If (scrHeight > 1080) “4K”
Else “not4K”

I have also deleted the script I had in the command lines. Profile "4K" is Lanczos and "Not4K" is NGU. But SD video does not switch to the "Not4K" profile and NGU.

Hi Asmodian. Thanks for getting back to me.

I see I had two letters reversed in the script. It is now:

if (srcHeight > 1080) “4K”
else “not4K”

Either way, no, I don't have the green check. I have a red triangle which indicates that an 'and' or 'or' statement is expected.

The statement seems proper for this purpose according to what I have read on the Kodi Tutorial on madVR setup.

Anyone, try using HIGH with these settings on your PC, most people use these:

PC/GPU set this to FULL RGB 4:4:4
MADVR - set this to 0-255
LG TV - set to HIGH


It only happens in HDR games or movies, the TV is in fine condition that is.

I think I understand

When using Game Console input it is already YcbCR 4:4:4 the weird thing is LG put LOW Already as default on HDR.

Which Input is the best to use for HDR? for Games is Game Console. could it be it's Low so I will need to use Dynamic Contrast on Low? I think that fix that.

The other thing if you stay with PC Input the AUTO is already HIGH.

The thing is I use PC and not PS4 or anything, but GAME CONSOLE
Input gives many other options for HDR Games like Super Resolution and such when not using 4K resolution so it improves the image especially when I use 3D.

ye I figured out the problem.... it's Nvidia.

If you want to watch HDR movie you must change the Use Nvidia Color Settings and change it to YCbCr 422 and Limited ofc. if you use the Default it makes what suppose to be Limited to FULL and that's where the mix up. Nvidia doesn't change it when it goes to NV HDR mode.... stupid stupid....... so everytime you want to play games or HDR movies need to do that. I watched so many movies with this shit not correct.... damnitttttt

it stays on RGB FULL which makes anything to crash the black because it needs to be LOW.. so Nvidia output 0-255 but the video output 16-235

How come no one said that before??? so everyone watching on their PC with MadVR with Nvidia crushed blacks?? even if you use the OS HDR it's the same because the Nvidia still output RGB FULL, that's the default. because I had a way of testing it using the Netflix directly from the TV APPS and I saw that even Dolby Vision using LOW. so there is no way something is wrong on my end. it is just driver issue that doesn't set it correctly.

@x7007

Internal Apps are Limited black level, your PC is Full RGB (normally)… It's always been that way. You just need to make sure any TV presets and profiles are set to Full. Auto does not always select the proper black level. It is not the PC's job to figure out what black level the TV is waiting for, it is your job to make sure your TV is setup properly.

on E6 there is no AUTO. the TV default for PC input and GameConsole Input is LOW. Dolby Vision input is LOW. the problem is that Nvidia doesn't change to YCbCr 422 Limited when watching HDR content. I can't do anything automatic about that. the TV does what it supposed to do.

The problem is it's not good to use PC Input when watching HDR content cause it causes issues, it tried to output 444 and you are limited to the HDR TV settings, everything is locked. so only way is to use HDMI or GameConsole input and both of them have the issue. what Nvidia must do is make a 1 HDR button to change to YCbCr 10bit so we can quickly change it. and not click 3 circles option and apply and then to revert it. even if you TV has the AUTO setting or you set it to the right setting it's NOT CORRECT! because nothing on the TV can change what the NVIDA is outputting. try to see my point and not the TV settings or anything else.

HDR Content is not supposed to view as RGB FULL Range, it's not possible, that why when you change to YCbCr 422 it's instant change to Limited. NV HDR and OS HDR doesn't set the correct HDR mode for Games and Movies. Games HDR suppose to be Limited also, you can't output RGB FULL. on Consoles you can choose AUTO so depend on the content it will set it right. I don't know how it works but it has the option.

Hi!
I'm not familiar with HDR at all so this will be a noob question: Can I have HDR image without a display that supports it. I'm not even sure how HDR works but I'm quite sure it won't add more bits to a pixel. :) So I guess it can be done in SW via the renderer?

On a different note, if anyone could give me hints what category of Nvidia or AMD GPUs do I need to watch UHD HDR stuff would be nice.
Traditionally I use some luma sharpening as well, though I'm not sure I would feel the need at UHD.
As for scaling. I don't feel like I'm missing out on much with only using lanczos 3 taps for upscaling and softcubic60 for downscaling. Though I guess enough oomph for anti ringing would be nice.
Judging by how few frames my GPU can squeeze out with jinc and other heavy algorithms I guess that I would need a categories more expensive GPU, probably not worth it for me.

Hi, probably best you find out wht HDR is first and how to achieve it, this is not a HDR thread, its specifically for technical issue with MADVR, HDR is a very small component of MADVR.

There are plenty of youtube videos to help with this.

24th April 2020, 14:39
@X7007

I will say it again, it is not the driver's job to switch black levels. If your TV can't do the proper Black levels for PC use then you need to set up your system properly for Limited Black levels. If for some weird reason you need a mix of both Limited and Full, then you can setup different pre-sets on your TV for each.

I believe deblocking is RCA and denoising is RRN, you can choose any shortcut that you'll add to your remote, and theres strength adjustment too.
