madVR - high quality video renderer (GPU assisted)

[tp4tissue]

FSE also doesn't work with 23.976 for some reason, the composition rate changes to 60 despite output still 23.976..

[huhn]

because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it doesn't in general work.

There is still a software layer between presentation and display, madVR is not in control of what is displayed the same way it was.

I've noticed this too but I think it is just cosmetic because I'm not seeing any drops/repeats and the counter shows days or none expected which is the same behavior I see in windowed full screen mode.

win 10 FSE is now a simulated WFS where the applicating thinks it is fullscreen but isn't it still changes how presentation works. the old true FSE is also still available.

Is there anything else I can check?

[Asmodian]

I don't know. I am using Zoom Player Max v16 and it works for me.

It should work as long as you're not using native DXVA decode.

How long are you letting it play to test?
I don't know what the cause is, but when I start playback it takes madVR a pretty long time to crop the black bars. If I pause then unpause playback or do a seek a few seconds back it usually makes it react faster. After that initial delay it then reacts immediately when the aspect ratio changes.

I've tried everything in mpc-hc settings including Direct3D11 and MadVR - I have it set to dxva 2 copyback with my nvidia gpu selected, it only zooms when you check if big black bars, but this also zooms the IMAX scenes too. Might try some madVR debugging, anyone else using MPC-HC?

I've tried watching the whole scenes, pause and seek, nothing.

Hi guys, any issues with WIN 2004 feature update before I pull the trigger?

[tp4tissue]

I just never update, still going 1806 HTPC is HTPC

[mclingo]

mine is a bit of an allrounder now, used for HTPC and WEB access so I now prefer to update more often to ensure i'm getting the latest sec patches etc, I do a little gaming but not much, still still mainly a HTPC machine.

I reset the timings and then deleted the optimization profile, and tried the few things one would immediately try (restarting Windows, removing monitor power cable, reinstalling GPU drivers, reinstalling monitor drivers, etc.)
Nonetheless, the problem persists. FWIW I have a somewhat nonstandard monitor setup (240hz primary + 60hz secondary)

I can't be 100% positive that MadVR is the cause, but it immediately started after I started messing with MadVR display modes. Any ideas?

Still dealing with this. Is there any solution? Has MadVR permanently screwed my monitor?

Haven't had any issues (I'm on 20H2 but it's the same kernel).

I only check "notify media player: immediately" and "crop black bars", but I'm not using a projector. I've set MPC-HC to Touch window from inside, Default AR, Zoom 100%. It also works fine in MediaPortal.
Does the madVR OSD show the line like "1920x1080 -> 19??x80?, 2.39:1" on the non-IMAX parts?

Are you sure you didn't change something else at the same time or shortly before testing madVR custom timings, like a new GPU driver? Have you tried older drivers? Have you tried DDU? Maybe the custom timings have left some remnants in the registry that are still used even when reinstalling drivers.

Custom timings can damage a monitor, I saw it once (before madVR had the option). I believe is very rare today, but it is possible.

That said, have you tried deleting all your displays with CRU? This is the only way I have found to really reset them, sort of reinstalling Windows.

I don't get any line like 1920x1080 >
I have attached a jpg with what my OSD shows.

Maybe it isn't working because madvr is using DXVA scaling. Try with a different scaler in the settings.

[Asmodian]

Ah, yes, of course.

DXVA scaling happens before madVR gets the video, it is equivalent to native decoding for purposes of Zoom Control.

Use Cubic 60 or 75 if you want something very fast and decent quality. Spline36 is also a great option and it is only slightly slower.

I had it on the bottom option before (NGU) I only recently tried DXVA. I have set spline and still have same problem

[Asmodian]

And you have tried enabling both if there are big black bars and/or if black bars change quickly back and forth?

Edit: not if there are big black bars, I keep forgetting that does not keep all image content.
