JRVR help please: HDR settings plus frame drops

(1/3) > >>

marko:
Morning all, I fall firmly into the "I just want it to work" group when it comes to video :)
Up till recently, that's exactly what I've been getting, but not now...

MC 33.0.15 (as library server client), Windows 11 Pro with Defender exclusions in place. Client has direct access to the media files via the 'use local file...' option in MC settings. Intel graphics drivers updated as of this morning. Display is a seven year old LG TV

I don't care about frame drops if I don't notice them, but recently, four weeks or so maybe, they've been really bad.

I look at the settings (which I don't touch anyway) and have no idea what affects what, but did find, somewhere, in the screen context menu I think, an option that offered to set everything to automatic, so I clicked on that, but it didn't help.

I noticed from the ctrl+J display that SDR content was being changed to HDR output. Going into the Windows display settings and turning off the HDR setting there fixed that, but not the frame drops, and, Theater View actually looked better with it turned on. Can I turn it back on? (Well, of course I can, but should I?)

I reckon I'm dropping around ten frames a second. The attached is the ctrl+J output. Are there any clues in there that could help somebody point me in the right direction here?

Thanks :)

The scaling is killing it, what is the source?

It's an mkv file of Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid ? (Bob Dylan has a bit part and did the soundtrack :))
It's not just this movie though, it's practically all of them.

Didn't there used to be four benchmarking areas?

I don't understand what scaling is.

Attached is the analyse video section of the tag window, if that helps?

marko:
also, if it matters, thinking about scaling, Windows desktop is set at 3840 x 2160, with scaling there set at 175%

terrym@tassie:
I suggest that you change your JRVR chroma upscaling algo from it's current setting to something like Bicubic, the chroma upscaling is killing the gpu.
