Media Player .NET (MPDN) - D3D HQ GPU Video Renderer [v2.49.0/v1.31.0 27 Dec 2018]

[Zachs]

Depends on driver version.

[Anima123]

Tested by myself, and found the D3D 9Ex is the most stable interface, with the latest nVidia driver.

[aufkrawall]

Fluid Motion now works for me. :thanks:

[Blackfyre]

Download links are currently down? except for the render script (that works).

Edit:

All links work now.

I've rebuilt some old versions for you to test in this folder (www.zachsaw.com/downloads/mpdn_test).

v2.20.8, v2.20.10 and v2.21.0

Could you let me know which one works?
Also, use the same presenter (I'd recommend you start with Direct3d 9Ex)

Ok first of all thanks for all your support. I tried all three versions you uploaded in all three presentation modes and all of them(v2.20.8, v2.20.10 and v2.21.0) work perfect.

[videonerd]

Hi Zachs any chance of adding the following features:
1. adjust playrate
2. pitch correction when playrate is adjusted

Thank you!

[Zachs]

It's on my to do list but a very low priority one. I don't use it personally so I'm not exactly in a hurry to implement it.

Just out of curiosity what do you need it for?

OK Looks like I'll have to build a few more old versions to see which one caused the problem. Will let you know when it's done...

[MysteryX]

As an update, the latest 2.22 version fixes the black screen problem I was having when rendering with DirectX 11 on a Radeon HD 7670M with v2.21

However, it plays full-screen for about 1 sec and then adds huge black borders while reducing the size of the video. That's with SVP's auto-crop feature disabled.

Where seeking is not ideal e.g. for me personally - continuous sports (e.g. football, basketball), MOBA replays (dota2).

It is there in all the players out there e.g. potplayer/mpc hc/be + reclock or VLC but I really really like your work :)

Ah I see what you mean. I've reproduced it and will roll out a fix.



I still encounter the problem in the latest version of the player with the latest playerextensions/renderscript. Anyone else still experiencing the problem?

OK it appears I was still running on the Intel HD integrated card even though I configured it... now with the Radeon HD 7670M, I'm still getting a black screen. The black screen happens whether I use DirectX 9, 10.1 or 11.

In that case, can you test the builds above and let me know which ones work too.

There's a newer version of the Playlist extension on Garteal's fork on github that I believe fixes this (among several other changes). It is still a work-in-progress so there has yet to be a pull request to merge the changes onto the main repository. Also, there have been several changes to the main repository that haven't been merged to Garteal's fork as Garteal seems to be away from the project ATM (no commits for the last 2 weeks).

Since your specific issue has been fixed, I merged the latest version of the Playlist extension and the latest changes to the main repository to my fork here: https://github.com/Mercy07/MPDN_Extensions/archive/master.zip

Again, keep in mind that this is a work-in-progress version of the Playlist extension, so you should probably hold off on reporting any bugs until Garteal is back.

[tjcinnamon]

how does this work compared to MadVR? I have a GTX 960 in one machine and a 970 in the other. Will this read RTMP to watch legal streams via Kodi (I can currently do that with MPC-HC)?

Just trying to figure out what makes this different.

[Zachs]

That error I was having regarding the extensions, I worked out what it is :).

The folder where I was placing the program has a comma in it. The program doesn't seem to like commas in the folder name!

I can't replicate this with any of the recent versions (since I fixed that bug a few months ago) - what version were you running?

I'd hold off reporting anything until after he releases an RC or final build as there's been a number if things already brought to his attention. Hopefully he'll be back hammering out something final in April.

[Zachs]

Thanks

I've added a couple more older builds in this folder (http://www.zachsaw.com/downloads/mpdn_test/old/). Could you give 2.21.1 and 2.21.3 a go and let me know which one works?

Also, test this build (http://www.zachsaw.com/downloads/mpdn_test/MediaPlayerDotNet_x64_2_23_0_3000.zip) as well to see if it works.

Tested all versions and none of them work(in all presentation modes)

OK at least I know roughly which version broke it...
So to be sure, v2.21.0 works fine but v2.21.1 doesn't. Is that right?

[harshal_rio91]

Yes v2.21.0 works perfect but v2.21.1 doesn't

[Zachs]

Yes v2.21.0 works perfect but v2.21.1 doesn't

In that case try this: test1 (http://www.zachsaw.com/downloads/mpdn_test/old/MediaPlayerDotNet_x64_test1.zip)

Test with and without FluidMotion for this build and let me know if you get blank screen.

I get black screen with and without Fluidmotion

[Zachs]

OK, now try test2 (http://www.zachsaw.com/downloads/mpdn_test/old/MediaPlayerDotNet_x64_test2.zip).

Don't bother with fluidmotion settings, just use Direct3D9Ex. If that works, switch to Direct3D10 or 11 and see if you get black screen again.

no it doesn't work in Direct3D9Ex

Strange. Those would've been the only things that could've affected it. Anyway, let me build an intermediate version between 21.0 and 21.1 for you to test.

OK. Another attempt - MediaPlayerDotNet_x64_test3.zip (test folder (http://zachsaw.com/downloads/mpdn_test/old/))

I will continue work whenever I get some time. You can report issues on my Github fork (https://github.com/Garteal/MPDN_Extensions). That way everything is organized and it'll save me some time. Feature requests are also welcome there (just tag em as such).

Anyway I pushed two commits last night. Testing appreciated!

Commits
- Fixed column remember bug where it didn't remember it when the
playlist window was closed before MPDN
- Greying and striking out files in the playlist that don't exist anymore (due
to moving, renaming or deleting)
- You can now drag and drop multiple folders into the playlist
- Revert old behavior so that the playlist follows MPDN outside the
window bounds, but the playlist will be returned if it gets lost upon
opening MPDN again
- Docking MPDN either left or right will auto dock the playlist maximized to
the other side
- Playlist window changed a bit. You can now maximize and minimize it
- Settings dialog layout changed
- Better docking handling

[harshal_rio91]

Both works

[Zachs]

Huh? But this (http://www.zachsaw.com/downloads/mpdn_test/old/MediaPlayerDotNet_x64_2_21_1_2972.zip) doesn't work though?

EDIT: Could you test Direct3D 9Ex only?

OK now we're getting somewhere!

Could you try this please with Dx10 & 11? 2972_4.zip (http://www.zachsaw.com/downloads/mpdn_test/old/MediaPlayerDotNet_x64_2_21_1_2972_4.zip)

Good! Now I know what is causing it. I'll try to bring across the changes to the new release in a while and let you test.

BTW, what does your debug OSD say about your display refresh rate? Does it detect it correctly?

the ctrl+J right attached the screenshot

[Zachs]

Can you put it on imgur? Your attachment is pending approval and may take quite some time before I can see it.

If you let MPDN run for say 5 minutes, does the display rate stabilise (converges to a stable number)?
