Oh I just remembered; there is definitely one setting in SVP that you do not want to max out - artifact masking!  In fact, you typcally want to make sure it is turned down low or even completely disabled (if your eyes an handle it that is).

The madVR settings that you use shouldn't really depend on the refresh rate at all, so even if you were using something wacky like 67Hz you'd still want to use the same settings that you would for plain old 50Hz.

And since you've set SVP to use your integrated Intel GPU, you also shouldn't need to use different madVR settings for when SVP is active vs when SVP is not active.

No it won't brick it, it just can give you a black screen or at least a less smooth result (dropping frames) if your monitor can't handle it.

If you're doing it from the Nvidia control panel then it's pretty safe to test because, if your monitor can't handle it, your GPU will revert to the previous working setting if you don't press anything for 15 seconds.

Yes.  Now you just have to configure madVR to use it.

While I'm no expert in madVR upscaling, I do know how to do automatic resolution stuff.  In the madVR settings, it's under "devices" -> [your monitor] -> "display modes" and then in the text field "list all display modes madVR may switch to" type in "2560x1080p60, 2560x1080p50" (without quotes).

IPS does not automatically mean good - it has some of the worst black levels and sub-par pixel response time.

I cannot help you with madVR upscaling, but custom resolutions and refresh rates can be set up right in the Nvidia control panel.

Also, for non-HD videos, you should be able to easily run maximum settings in SVP.

Apologies for the quadruple post, but I think I've finally figured it out!

When I put the 15fps AVC video stream into an MP4 container via Avidemux, the framerate was changed to this according to MediaInfo:

This was also why just muxing it into an MKV doesn't fix the issue.  However, when muxing it into an MKV and specifying 15p as the framerate, MediaInfo showed the framerate as a constant 15.000 fps and everything worked perfectly in SVP.

Of course, the wacky thing is that with SVP disabled or when cubic interpolation is enabled, there's no issue at all...which itself is just strange.

ANYWAY...one last quick question - is there any way I can add the smooth.cubic setting via Application settings -> Additional options -> All settings -> User defined options like the override.js recommends one to do?

That alone doesn't help me that much.  Remember, I'm a complete mpv newbie and any sort of command-line and/or coding like stuff is my single massive weakpoint PC-skills-wise, so you're going to have to practically hold my hand here.

Oh, and I must ask - I've heard that DXVA upscaling is similar in quality to lanczos yet is very light on the processor; does mpv support this?

I thought that's what the following did?:

Nevertheless, I haven't a clue on how to actually go about using it.

Wait; does mpv not even support an equivalent of DXVA2 copy-back?  That's...interesting.  I guess that doesn't really matter for VP9/WebM stuff though.

Then it has nothing to do with it being an MKV and everything to do with it being huge files on an external mechanical hard drive (they're usually 5200rpm).

O_o  What kind of MKVs are you using?  The MKV I use take all of 2-3 seconds the launch, and that's on a lowly Core 2 Duo T8300 (though with an SSD).

You forgot to mention the most important part about using 48Hz - x2 interpolation has better performance!

Also, from my experience EVR CP + D3D Fullscreen is the lightest in terms of performance load, especially if you use the bilinear (non-PS 2.0) resizer (though even bicubic doesn't take that much assuming your PC was made in the last 7 years).
