There might be a way to tie it into the install/setup similar to how KCP did it.

Edit: I see things are tided up with XySubFilter elsewhere, so I guess you're hands are tied on getting it working with MPDN in the near future.

XySubFilter is still a WIP. I just haven't had time to finish implementing it. It's so vastly different to normal DirectShow filter that it requires quite a bit of effort to support.

Shiandow, thanks for porting your NEDI shader to MPDN, however I found a possible bug, I got blank screen if I resize the window, or go to full screen.

Edit: Ooops, fairchild beats me to it. I wrote the post while retesting the finding.

This problem with AMD GPUs is now fixed in v2.8.3.

I'm working on render scripts that will enable that.

In the meantime, Chroma Scaler script essentially converts MPDN's rendering pipeline to be similar to madVR's in which chroma is first upscaled to luma size and converted to RGB before Luma Scaler is applied to the entire image in RGB. This is faster for some GPUs in upscale but will most certainly be slower in downscaling 4K materials. madshi said scaling it this way could yield better PQ.

I installed 2.8.3 on top of the 2.8.2 I had on my system, and on launching MediaPlayerDotNet I get the following renderscript error:

BUTTONS:

------------------------------

If I click ignore, and go into the renderscript area of settings, everything is empty (no scripts are listed). I'll try a clean install first (deleteing the contents of the MediaPlayerDotNet directory), and if that doesn't work my next step will be to find Shiandow's link to the NEDI, and reinstall/copy the scripts over on top of the 2.8.3 ones. I'll post to let people know what solves it in case others encounter the issue.

Update: deleting the contents of the directory worked to get rid of the error message on launch, but the renderscript directory is still empty. (Both in program and in the renderscript directory, so I guess Shiandow's scripts aren't being packaged with the MPDN files yet). Next, I'm going to find Shiandow's link to the NEDI render script file (many a post back), and try to copy that into the renderscript directory to see if it shows up properly in the program.

Update 2:
I redownloaded Shiandow's NEDI render script for MPDN, and extracted it to the MPDN render script directory which brought the the render script MPDN error back at launch.

Update 3:
I tried the 2.8.3 x64 version, and encountered the same error(s). I extracted the 2.8.2 files on top of the 2.8.3 x86 files, and everything was back to error free again, so something may be off with the coding/paths in 2.8.3.

Anyway If you want to do: NEDI -> Sharpen -> Scaling, then the easiest way to do this is to download the newest script files, and add the line:

PHP Code:

FinalPass   =   new ShaderFilter(FinalPass, Renderer.CompileShader(Path.Combine(ShaderPath, @"..\SweetFX\LumaSharpen.hlsl"))); 


to Nedi.cs at line 77, just after:

PHP Code:

FinalPass   =   new NEDIVInterleave(FirstPass,NEDI_II,
                        Renderer.CompileShader(Path.Combine(ShaderPath, @"NEDI-VInterleave.hlsl")));); 


This adds another step after the NEDI algorithm, where it performs LumaSharpen on the doubled image.

When it becomes possible to chain shaders this should be possible without changing any code, and hopefully it will even become possible to add a sharpening filter which either does: upscaling -> sharpening or sharpening -> downscaling. But this might take a while.

it works.

Have you redownloaded the new render scripts in the first page?
(there is a change in API)

[patul]

Anime Viewer, you have to delete/overwrite the RenderScripts folder with new one, now separate package, you have to download RenderScripts.zip, link is available in the first page.

Zachs, initial test, the shaders work now, NEDI scaler works, I'll have to test it more.

EDIT1: Frame dropped/delayed when NEDI is selected, however scaling is not needed (video size matches target render size).

[Shiandow]

I haven't had much chance to look at the new API changes yet, but it seems Zachs made a RenderScript pack which contains a modified version of NEDI that works with the new API so you can download that one instead.

When I have time I'll make a version of NEDI that takes full advantage of the new API, until then you should use the one in the "sample render scripts" pack.

I've informed Shiandow about this. There's also a problem when 4K video is used with NEDI - current crops of video cards don't support texture sizes that is beyond 4k x 4k, so for the case you've just mentioned and one that downsizes, NEDI should be bypassed.

@Shiandow I believe this could be done quite easily in the ResizeableFilter class?

[Anima123]

How do we get NEDI work through a correct script chain with the latest version?

In my mind, the pipeline be like this:
MPDN chroma scaling -> NEDI resolution doubling (if needed) -> MPDN image scaling (either upscale or downscale) to the display resolution + dithering to the set bit-depth

Since I don't know exactly how the MPDN script works, but shouldn't the MPDN processing be separated into pre-NEDI and post-NEDI processing?

It's still valid for new version 2.8.3?

[Zachs]

It should still work.

There are several render scripts that is yet to be done. When these are completed, I'll explain how a full render script chain is used to create pre- / post-processing etc.

I know you're very busy, but when you get some time please provide a way to resume a movie. I'm using MPDN as my regular player and it's a real pain to have to seek back to the last position played.

NEDI works great, BTW. Thanks for all the great work (and to Shiandow)!

Yeah I'll do that once I'm done with getting Render Script to a somewhat usable state.

[Anima123]

MPDN still cannot playback .wmv files, it gives the following error:

Mpdn.VideoPlayer Error
An unexpected error 'Mpdn.VideoPlayer.DsGraphException' has occurred.
Additional information:
Failed to render file '????.wmv' (Mpdn.VideoPlayer)
Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040217 (Mpdn.VideoPlayer)

Hope this can help you debug. Plus, I have tried to change settings of LAVFilters with no luck though.

Does MPC-HC when configured to use LAV splitter and LAV video + audio decoders play that wmv file? That error message means upstream filters do not know how to decode the file.

[Anima123]

No problem with MPC-HC.

Check MPC-HC's filters and make sure they are exactly the same as MPDN's. If they are, could you upload the wmv file somewhere so I could take a look?

[Anima123]

I just could not playback any .wmv files with MPDN (64-bit btw).

I have no problems with wmv files with 64-bit MPDN. Have you made sure wmv files decode option is checked in LAV Video Filter too along with the wma audio ones in LAV Audio Filter?
