I am trying to setup madVR, but the keyboard shortcuts seems not to be working (ctrl+r and ctrl+j, are there more?), I wanted to check for dropped frames and so on. Is it because MC handles the shortcut, or is there another reason?

JimH · « **Reply #51 on:** May 10, 2011, 06:08:41 pm »

It's probably a conflict. MC uses ctrl-j to check for updates.

ctl + j works for me in Media Center to display madVR stats.

i read in another forum that it's also a shortcut in Adobe (photoshop??), and had caused problems for that user, FYI

FWIW, I plan to make the shortcuts adjustable in a near future madVR version.

flac.rules · « **Reply #54 on:** May 11, 2011, 02:59:40 am »

Hmm, odd, its a very light installation with only HTPC-related programs. No photoshop or similar. In windowed mode the ctrl+j apparantly searches for updates as Jim pointed out, I don't know if it should behave differently in exclusive mode though. I guess I'll just wait for the new version.

On another note, I have an idea for a feature: How about a shortcut that shows the picture with a simple uscaling on half the picture, and the advanced madVR-upscaling you have chosen in your prefs on the other half, to see the effects of the settings? Its more of a "neat" feature than a must, but just an idea that popped into my head now.

This is already on my list of "funny features to eventually consider for some far *FAR* away future version".

In build 103, madVR will be used if you choose "Red October HQ" in Video settings.

7. NEW: madVR video renderer is now part of the standard filter pack and is automatically installed when needed. It is used in Red October HQ mode.

Thanks madshi!

Ladies and Gents, madVR 0.62 was just released and has some pretty amazing changes. I highly recommend checking it out.

Sandy B Ridge · « **Reply #59 on:** June 06, 2011, 06:33:01 am »

I'm having trouble getting the stats for MadVR to show up with Ctrl-J. MC16 checks for an upgrade with Ctrl-J. Is there an alternative keyboard shortcut for this or a way of forcing the key combo to madvr rather than MC16? If not would JR consider changing the key combo for checking for updates (especially now that madvr is 'baked in' to Red October)?

madVR will allow to configure the keyboard shortcuts in a future version.

You can manually enable the madVR OSD by editing the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\madshi\madVR\ShowOsd REG_DWORD 1

thanks madshi,

if I set up a command script in my remote software for:
reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\madshi\madVR /v ShowOsd /t REG_DWORD /d 00000001 /f

for on, and

reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\madshi\madVR /v ShowOsd /t REG_DWORD /d 00000000 /f
for off.

Would that work to toggle during play? Or does madvr only query the registry on startup?

Or is that a risky strategy?!

It's only read when the madVR instance is created = when a new video is loaded.

Sandy B Ridge · « **Reply #63 on:** June 06, 2011, 10:18:39 am »

Thanks.

I'll settle for regedit then and tweak when the missus is away!

Look forward to the next versions of madvr ofwhich there will be many I hope.

Is there any way to disable the keyboard shortcuts altogether, or to enforce them only when the media player is in focus?

The problem I have is that Ctrl - R is the shortcut for commenting in Matlab, and if madVR is running then it blocks that shortcut for all other applications. Same thing happens with Ctrl - J in browsers to bring up the downloads, but not having that is far less annoying than not being able to comment quickly.

Is there a reason I don't know of that explains why madVR needs to have its keyboard shortcuts enforced in all applications? If there's a good reason for it, it'll annoy me far less when I'm continually changing renderers

.

Also, I know your planning on allowing fully customized shortcuts in a future release, but in the meantime, could you add in a setting that either 1) disables/enables all shortcuts or 2) changes shortcuts from "Ctrl - XX" to "Ctrl - Alt - Shift - XX"?

Thanks for your help

madshi · « **Reply #65 on:** July 27, 2011, 09:09:44 am »

The reason for having them global is that sometimes the media player window can accidently not be in focus. If you're in fullscreen playback you don't see that, though. It would be quite confusing if the keyboard shortcuts wouldn't work in that situation. Anyway, as you said, I plan to make them adjustable in a future version. Sorry, no intermedia fix planned atm.

Nedam, in Limitations #4 above it says that the Microsoft DVD navigator refuses to work. This means that you can't use the MadVR renderer for DVD playback. I use EVR as the renderer for DVD. If you rip the DVD to a single VOB file, you can rename the file with an extension of .mpg and then you can use MadVR.

Edit: I was typing this while madshi posted.

Perhaps JRiver MC automatically turns off MadVR for DVD playback, I don't know, but I have no problem playing ripped DVDs (Video-TS) with RO-HQ. I don't know if Microsoft DVD Navigator is being used or not (I'll look next time) but the VOBs are playing without issue on my system.
Just as a side note, I could not get DVDs (VOBs) to play with MC-HC and MadVR prior to switching over to JRiver, so somehow MC16 found a workaround.

EDIT: Most of my DVDs are ripped to MKV. Those are the ones that work with madVR.

The latest madVR v0.78 now supports DXVA2 deinterlacing. So one more item removed from the list of "limitations".

Sandy B Ridge · « **Reply #68 on:** November 05, 2011, 05:35:15 pm »

Sounds great madshi.

What's the latest on madVR and DVD playback from Video_TS files or direct from disc? Does this deinterlacing help or is the macrovision thingy still a problem?

madshi · « **Reply #69 on:** November 05, 2011, 05:40:03 pm »

No news on the DVD front. I can only tackle one problem at a time.

JimH · « **Reply #70 on:** November 05, 2011, 06:17:09 pm »

Thanks for the ones you do tackle. Nice work on DXVA2 deinterlacing.

SamuriHL · « **Reply #71 on:** November 05, 2011, 07:47:16 pm »

Brilliant work, madshi. Absolutely brilliant.

madshi · « **Reply #72 on:** November 06, 2011, 01:52:19 am »

Well, I do plan to work on DVD playback sooner or later, too.

Thanks for the feedback.

Sandy B Ridge · « **Reply #73 on:** November 06, 2011, 09:10:20 am »

Great stuff!

I'll keep an eye out for when you are open for donations!

madshi · « **Reply #74 on:** November 05, 2012, 12:48:18 pm »

One more limitation removed: DVD playback should work fine now.

InflatableMouse · « **Reply #75 on:** November 05, 2012, 12:50:03 pm »

Awesome. Thanks.

PS. JimH, Can we move this thread (to a sticky?) in Media Center 18 please?

madshi · « **Reply #76 on:** November 21, 2012, 09:37:03 am »

The latest madVR build now supports:

- external DXVA2 decoders
- DXVA2 scaling
- color controls
- custom pixel shaders (not sure if MC supports this feature)

So the list of limitations is nearly empty now.
