madVR Settings

Hi there,

I have a weird issue with MadVR settings.

I have an existing install of MadVR+LAV+MPC-BE. All works fine. MadVR is set to use tonemapping with pixel shaders. MadVR settings are not in a .bin file but in the registry.

I installed the latest JRiver and it looks like irrespective of the settings I use, JRiver uses a "ghost" version of the settings, and forces MadVR to use "let MadVR decide", which leads to a fixed metadata (1000/20) sent to the display for each title and no way to use the tonemapping with pixel shader.

I tried everything: resetting my settings using one of the Red October HQ options, using custom settings (with MadVR and LAV splitter/audio/video decoder selected), there doesn't seem to be any way to get JRiver to use my settings, or if the settings are reset to select tonemapping with pixel shader. The option is either greyed out, or if it's not you change, save, and when you come back it's back to "let MadVR decide".

I have two questions:

1) Ideally, I'd like to be able to use my own, existing settings with JRiver, so that I have the same settings for all the appes using MadVR/LAV. How can I achieve this?
2) If this is not possible, how can I set MadVR so that I don't have this "ghost" setting that forces "Let MadVR decide" and prevents using pixel shaders?

My rig is a Windows 10 x64 with a 1080Ti and the latest nVidia drivers. MadVR is the latest release + latest test build. LAV is 0.73.1.

I've already purchased V25 (I renew every year but haven't used JRiver for a while). If this is a known issue and is solved in V25, is there a way to access a beta of V25?

I tried with the stable and latest of V24, I don't have access to beta versions of V24 either.

Thanks!

Please read the Red October topic on our wiki.

Hi Jim,

Thanks, if this is what you mean https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Red_October I can't find any insight there.

What I do on this topic is pretty simple.  I replace the madvr that JRiver downloads to the plugins folder with the one I'm using (e.g. the test builds we're playing with) and then run the madvr install bat from there.  Inside JRiver, I use custom settings and add LAV and madvr as external filters.  If you have a settings.bin from a different install of madvr, copy it to the plugins madvr folder.  I keep madvr in this location with a backup of my settings.bin because I've had similar issues to what you're seeing in the past.  Once it's registered, any other player will be able to use it, as well.  Once in a while JRiver updates their version of madvr and it'll download and overwrite what you put in there...just put yours back after it does that and you're golden.  Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot, that makes sense, I'll try that. My settings are in the registry though, do you know how I can convert them to settings.bin? Or is it okay to re-import the registry section after I've uninstalled my current version of MadVR and LAV to enable the one in JRiver?

Also I notived that only the 64bits version of LAV seems to be installed by JRiver. I think we need the 32bits version for MadMeasureHDR. How do you resolve this?

So here is what I plan to do:

- find a way to convert registry into settings.bin
- uninstall current standalone MadVR
- uninstall current standalone LAV
- copy the build 38 files into the JRiver MadVR folder
- hopefully copy the converted registry settings to get all my settings back

Does that make sense?

Thanks again. I had JRiver working with MadVR a while back but something must have changed.
