as per https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,135621.msg952870.html#msg952870
any clues in the attached log?

Well it is failing on something

From the error, I'm guessing you are using a polar downscaler (Jinc), and its failing on a too extreme downscaling factor 3840x2160 -> 246x138 (action window?)
I have not seen that error myself, but I'll investigate.
Maybe try an ortho downscaler? (literally any other then Jinc)
If its what I think it is, I might have to swap downscaling algorithm to something else on extreme downscaling ratios. But other then Action Window, there is no reasonable expectation of such high downscaling going on.
Edit:
Oh I realized why I havent seen this error. On newer GPUs Jinc uses Compute Shaders which has different limits.
-
It did open directly into the overview screen, I will get a new log with it going direct to display view to see if that changes anything
-
in fact it does if it opens into a larger window, log attached
for some reason I can't fathom, this MC instance doesn't open display view automatically. I can't find a config option for that either
anyway I guess it's a rather obscure bug, if playback starts in a too small window then HDR peak detection is borked.
-
Should be set in Options > General > Behavior.
-
"Jump on play (Video)" is set to display view
I think the issue here is that this test clip is not in the library and "File > Open Media File" is ignoring that option whereas playing a library item does respect it
-
actually I'm wrong, you have to use "Display view (even in playing now)" and then it works. I don't understand why there are 2 options for what seems like same behaviour mind you
-
anyway I guess it's a rather obscure bug, if playback starts in a too small window then HDR peak detection is borked.
I'll fix it by swapping out the scaling algorithm for downscaling on factors below 1/8th or something, which should be close to its limit.
You could confirm this by swapping downscaling to Lanczos or literally anything thats not Jinc.
-
yes that fixes it
