...also is there a simple way to revert JRVR settings back to "Default"?

[Hendrik]

And bitmap subtitles like on Blu-ray are going to get even faster, too (at least if you play them above 1080p screen resolution)
Also the second overlay entry is from the OSD, so it inflates your summary max as well on the NUC.

[jmone]

Right, so even better performance when the OSD is off nice...  I'll need to retest the NUC with Balanced.  It would be good to have something like Ctrl+R to reset the stats to see what frames are being dropped/repeated after the startup.... or maybe a version of the Log that only writes out the dropped frames?

Apart from the refinement of performance (which is always good, esp on the low end), are there any development features on your to do list in the short term?  I know of:
- Profiles
- cross platform stuff
- ?

[jmone]

Retested on the the NUC with Blue Noise (Recommended) and it was fine even with the OSD up.

Cross platform and subtitle toys first.

Does madVR use ctrl-R?  We should probably conform to what they do, when we can.

[jmone]

Yes, madVR uses Ctrl+R to reset.  It's good to have the option for a couple of reasons:
1: You can eliminate the start-up Dropped / Repeated frames after playback settles down so you can then see if there is issues during "normal" playback
2: It looks good in screen shots posted to the forum!  Odd reason I know but .... perception's matters and I hate posting screen shots showing JRVR frame drops that are not occurring post start up.

V10 Testing

2. Changed: Bitmap subtitles in JRVR will now be rendered at their original resolution and resized by JRVR (faster!).

Did a quick test on a "Std" BD ('71) I've been using for testing on the NUC7.  The sub seems to be about the same (at least on this disc), though the overall rendering time looks better... So I'm not sure how to interpret the OSD info for this one.

[Hendrik]

The biggest impact .10 has is probably a reduction in CPU usage, which will help overall playback stability.

[jmone]

Gotcha

[jmone]

I think I saw this on a list somewhere, but JRVR does not (currently) honour the Rotation Tag so video played back is the "wrong way around" (in this case 180 degrees out).  madVR is fine.

[Hendrik]

Rotation is in for the next batch of features.

[jmone]

Thanks

[Hendrik]

With direct rendering enabled I do see a fairly prominent blue line along the bottom of the display so I have turned it off for now.

The blue line should hopefully be gone now with 29.0.14

[jmone]

Rotation is in for the next batch of features.

29.0.14 - Rotated video is playing correctly for me!


...not tested the changes for Intel GPU

[BryanC]

I went back and retested my content on the N5105 with the "Allow hardware decoder direct rendering" enabled now that the blue line is gone.

I can play back all of my <30fps media (720p, 1080p, 2160p w/ HDR passthrough) using Lanczos 3-taps upscaling, pretty incredible! That's basically ROHQ quality on a 10W CPU .

It starts bottlenecking on 50fps European content, but I only have a few of those files so I'm just sticking with Lanczos 3 taps unless there are any additional crazy performance improvements on the way. I can get away with 4 taps on native 4K content but it drops frames on 720p 30fps so not worth the headache of switching back and forth until performance profiles are ready.

[Hendrik]

An interesting tidbit: On some GPUs Jinc can actually be faster then Lanczos, because Jinc is hyper-optimized to run in a single-pass and uses compute shaders, and Lanczos needs to do horizontal and vertical separately.
