madVR Settings
jmone:
Much easier way if you want to test a later version of madVR than what is shipped with MC:
- Leave MC set to ROHQ and don't change the ...Quality Setting... option
- Copy the version of madvr you want to test to the "...appdata/roaming/jriver/mediacentre24/plugins/madvr" folder (over write the files)
- In MC Settings--> Video--> ...Open madVR Settings and config madVR the way you want.
Job Done.
If you change any of the MC ... Quality Setting... it will change the madVR settings back to the default ones that MC uses. If you want to revert to the shipped version just delete the "...appdata/roaming/jriver/mediacentre24/plugins/madvr" folder and MC will download the shipped version.

Hi all,
I'm quite confused...

the MadVR settings are imho stored in a settings.bin... I was using Kodi and MPC, MadVR is stored in C:\MadVR...
I don't think I changed the Quality settings... so all I have to do is to copy everything from C:\MadVR (regardless of the version) to ...appdata/roaming/jriver/mediacentre24/plugins/madvr including the settings.bin and I should be good to go ?
Many thanks
Sky

Anyone with this issue, here is what worked for me to get the same performance in JRiver and in MPC-BE:
- Uninstall the standalone version of MadVR
- Keep the standalone version of LAV installed
- Install Red October HQ with custom settings
- Copy all the files from my MadVR installation into the JRiver MadVR folder (users/user/appdata/roaming/jriver/mediacentre24/plugins/madvr), including the files from the latest test build 38. This folder will be modified by JRiver in a later update, so make sure you have a backup somewhere to replace if necessary.
- I simply deleted the settings.bin in the JRiver MadVR install folder to have my registry settings apply (I had backed them up and re-imported them just to be on the safe side).
- Add MadVR renderer, LAV Source Splitter, LAV Audio and LAV Video as custom filters. All the settings are accessible there, as well as in the tray when a file is playing.
Otherwise without the custom filters I had poor rendering times and/or huge clock deviation that caused lots of frame drops.
The only other issue I had was to get HDMI bitstreaming to work, and that was because I was using the default direct sound device (which works fine with other players). I had to select manually the nVidia HDMI device WASAPI in JRiver. The standard nVidia HDMI device one wouldn't work.
I would highly suggest to make a sticky about this HDMI issue as I'm not the only one with this problem and I couldn't find a simple solution to this.
Anyway, I now have the same performance as with MCP-BE, but with BD and UHD BD Menus :)
Keep up the good work everyone, looking forward to spending more time again with JRiver, and thanks again to SamuriHL for his precious help with this issue.

Hi Manni,
I just purchased an RTX-2080 Super.
Since I want to continue using folders with menus like I can with my Oppo, I downloaded and installed the current version of JRiver.
At first I just selected the Red October HQ option that downloaded MadVR. But I saw this post and tried to add custom filters.
Adding the MadVR renderer was fine.
Then I downloaded current standalone Lav filters and installed them. Then added the filters as you described.
Unfortunately, my render times went from 21 ms to 55 ms with the standalone Lav filters. UHD disc playback in Tone mapping mode was unwatchable due to stutter. Leaving just the MadVR renderer did not increase times at all.
So I have reverted back to Red October HQ using the built-in Lav filters.
tij:
As wiki probably mentioned (did not read it myself) … MC comes with its own copy of MadVR and LAV
MC's MadVR settings is accessible if you are using RO HQ from option-video … MC's LAV filer settings are hidden for stability reasons (according to developers ... one of which is THE author of LAV)
If you have MadVR and LAV istalled separately (for other programs like MPCHC or Kodi) … MC will not use those installs and their settings.
There are ways to force MC to use other versions of MadVR and LAV (some of which has been discussed here already).
Hope this helps for new ppl who finds this thread a bit confusing.

One of the reasons JRiver did as they did with LAV and MadVR (Hendrick is probably going … "I told you so" lol) … IMHO its fine to fiddle with these as long as you know what you doing, just don't expect JRiver to help troubleshoot problems that might come with this as they officially dont support this mode of use

Hi all,
I'm a new JRiver user. I've got a nice Home Theater room, HTPC + JVC projector. I like madvr tone mapping capabilities which are of great help for projectors.
I've a problem with JRiver + madvr: I cannot change some settings in madvr: for instance I cannot change settings like "shadows recovery" which is stuck to "medium" (anyhow I can change "highlight recovery" setting!) or I cannot reduce "display peak luminance" lower than 100 nits. Several other settings are also locked by default. It seems JRiver has some kind of default settings for madvr and there's no way to change them.
Does anybody have a clue how to unlock these specific madvr settings?
Regards,
Federico
