I installed the the most recent version (v2.26.3) on top of my previous version (using the new installer), and still had the problem. I wiped out (uninstalled) MPDN from control panel, and then went into my MPDN profile settings (in C:\Users\Myname\AppData\Local and deleted the MediaPlayerDotNet directory (to reset everything). It worked in that default state (D3D 9Ex), but when I try either of the other (D3D 10.1 or D3D 11) its back to freezing the window/screen (except sometimes I can hear audio still playing).

On another note XYSubFilter seems to be a problem in the new version. When subtitles are on the screen the rest of the screen (aside from the subtitles) turns black. When characters stop talking (thus no subtitles) the video appear back on the screen, but the minute the subtitles appear again the screen turns black again until the subtitles disappear off the screen.

What happened? All I get is black screen & audio

[Zachs]

Did you guys use the installer? I suspect it may be due to a bad XySubFilter version. I'll investigate later when I get done time. In the meantime, try downloading another version of the filter and install that instead.

@animeviewer did you manage to get the dump file when it locked up? It should crash on purpose when it detects a lockup after about 5 seconds. You'll then get a dump file. Check my post a few pages back.

It wasn't the xysubfilter. Its something else. Reverted back to its predecessor. Everything is ok now

[Zachs]

Well then it's certainly something I'm not experiencing on my end. Is the OSD showing?

Anyway I'll investigate.

[Magik Mark]

Yes OSD is fine

[Zachs]

So just to confirm, 2.26.2 was fine?

Can you also zip up your MPDN config folder so I could use the same settings to try and replicate the problem?

Yes! Working perfectly for now

[Zachs]

You might wanna upload the file on a file upload website, that way I don't have to wait for the attachment to be approved.

2.26.2 -> works great
2.26.3 -> turn on any render script even blank one=no video only audio and xysubfilter blinking picture as explained by Anime Viewer

By blank one I mean you can select image processor with no shaders and the moment you press apply blank picture.

Great player BTW :-)

[Zachs]

Thanks for the report. Appreciate it.

In the meantime, I'd recommend just to use 2.26.2 for now until I sort out the issues with the latest version.

It doesn't appear to create any dump file (I'm not sure that it detects a crash). Since it locks the screen (keyboard still works for capslock, numlock , ctrl+alt+delete, alt-tabing (even though it will not switch to anything else. Unless you choose ctrl+alt+del and choose log-off. At that time you can alt-tab between windows, but can't interact or navigate on any of them. The MPDN app shows in the taskbar, but right-clicking on it and choosing close all windows will not do anything (it doesn't react). The only way to shut out of it is to tell it to switch users (or restart). As far as I can tell it didn't create any file in the user config folder, nor the install location of MPDN.

[Zachs]

Was the mouse cursor showing a wait cursor or was it a normal pointer cursor? The next time it happens, could you wait for 30 seconds and see if it manages to detect that it's locked up?

[ryrynz]

So my TV accepts 12 bit input at <24hz but Nvidia's drivers don't remember the previous setting at that refresh rate.
Any chance of having MPDN be able to set the bit depth output of the graphics card via the display changer?

Exact same issue here!

No, the mouse cursor does not show during the MPDN freeze. I've waited longer than 30 seconds (a few minutes with nothing changing).

Fixed in v2.26.4.

OK try this when you have the chance. When it locks up, double click the full screen windows a few time. Then wait for 30 seconds. If it still doesn't auto-terminate, it probably means something terminal has occurred...

Edit:
It froze again, and I double clicked (when there is a nonexistent mouse cursor during the initial freeze), and nothing ever happened). After I did switch user to were it is still running, and I double clicked on it on the taskbar (again with no change, and it not switching to it) I again waited 30+ seconds but nothing ever happened. Task Manager in that state reports it as not responding, but it never times out (and just like how I can't interact with MPDN I can't interact act with any other programs except to switching to them with alt-tab, but I can't do anything other than display their windows - for example I can't scroll or type anything on this forum), and can't close out of them during that non-responsive MPDN state.

Edit:
Odd. It doesn't appear to occur with one file I have tested (with the following properties).

Edit:
On the frozen video screen if I have CTRL+J active it shows the Render queue at 0/12 at the point it switched and froze. Running with "Use new windowed mode rendering path when possible" unchecked the problem doesn't appear to occur in the second video - that normally freezes. **edit: scratch that...it still occurred with new mode unchecked, but for some reason that one time it didn't.

Edit:
Anyone else noticing Fluid Motion fluctuating on and off almost every second when watching 23.976Hz files on 59/60Hz screens? (Its actually causing Judder (and tons of dropped and delayed frames - probably as a result of the constant switching on and off) on my screen as opposed to the same video running smoothly with it turned off).

Hey Zach

Do you know where I can download denoise shader for your player? Maye other shaders as well too? Thanks a lot
