https://www.videohelp.com/software/mpc-qt

Github links are DEAD as of 07/2019

URL: https://github.com/cmdrkotori/mpc-qt
Official Windows releases: https://github.com/cmdrkotori/mpc-qt/releases

Pros:
- light-weight standalone player
- well-known MPC-HC user interface
- based on libmpv
- cross-platform!

Cons:
- in development, some menu items doesn't work at all

It doesn't accept "mpv.conf", all configuration should be made via UI.

============================

Installation - Windows

Obviously it requires all the mpv stuff from SVP 4\mpv64 - libmpv, Python, vapoursynth.
1. remove mpv-1.dll from mpc-qt folder
2. add "SVP 4\mpv64" folder to both PATH and PYTHONPATH environment variables
3. in SVP - open "All settings", find "main.setup.mpv_pipe" which is "mpvpipe" by default and change it to "mpvpipe,cmdrkotori.mpc-qt.mpv"
4. restart SVP Manager

> Если бы СВП можно было бы прикрутить к Коди под Линуксом

Если кто-то скажет как туда вкрутить mpv - то нет проблем smile

хотя нет, есть проблема - Kodi использует Python 2.7, а mpv/vapoursynth  - Python 3.5

Пользуясь случаем обновил мануал для Kodi под Windows для актуальной версии 17.0 - так могу сказать что оно стало совсем юзабельно, даже прыгать с текстовыми конфигами уже не надо smile

What SVP's installer does is:

1. if there's no c:\windows\syswow64\avisynth.dll - run the official Avisynth 2.6 installer (the one MAG79 pointed to)
2. overwrite c:\windows\syswow64\avisynth.dll with the SVP 4\plugins\avisynth.dll

Note that SVP's uninstaller won't remove Avisynth installed in p.1.

So if you want "clean" installation you should manually uninstall Avisynth and ensure that there's no avisynth.dll left in syswow64 BEFORE SVP installation.



When I use AviSynth from a different source, as MAG79 suggested, it says that AviSynth can't be recognized

who - "it"? there's no "AviSynth can't be recognized" error message in SVP


If we take a look at the first post - the solution was as simple as download an older MPC-HC build and run it hmm

> I thought SVP adapts to changing FPS

Yep, but not with mpv, because SVP doesn't even know about actual FPS change.
That "estimated-vf-fps" property mentioned above shows "estimated/measured FPS of the video filter chain output", i.e. after the vapoursynth filter, and since vapoursynth script have to call AssumeFPS(), estimated-vf-fps just stays fixed.

This's not our fault cause MPC-HC is a 3rd party application.
You can manually download an older version.


At which point exactly do you see this error message?
What OS are you using?

Still we do not provide you with the lifetime license in terms of the fact that our package can be used to install the program on giveaway date only. It means that you will not be able to re-install the program after PC crash or install the program on another PC after the giveaway day is over.

на таких условиях можно наверное что-то придумать...

According to our terms and conditions the software gained from GOTD can not be updated or upgraded to newer version. Some programs still check for updates – once you agree to update you lose the registered version.

> you don't have to use GPU acceleration when you already have a good CPU

I must mention that GPU rendering is different from CPU rendering in SVP, it gives more "smooth" picture.

I personally don't see any issues playing 1080p on 2K screen from Mac Mini with Iris graphics and all acceleration turned on, probably because Mini has much better cooling system than any Mac laptop.

как образец можно взять скрипт, который генерирует SVP 3.0 (?) (НЕ 3.1) при включенной подсветке полей, оно там как раз делалось сугубо на уровне скрипта

фигурная разрезка-ресайз-склейка

> Просто подобных BD с разным соотношением сторон не единичные случаи, и такая обработка была-бы очень полезна.

afaik, bd "с разным соотношением сторон" обычно делаются не тупой обрезкой, а более интеллектуально, т.е. кадр вырезается из разных мест полного кадра, в зависимости от сцены

it's not weak if we're talking about video decoding + SVP + default "opengl" profile in mpv
haven't tried it with "opengl-hq" profile though

Ok, here's time to run some hwdec-related tests myself big_smile

Mac Mini 2014 equipped with Core i5-4278U (2.5 GHz up to 3.0 (?)) and Iris GPU, which is definitely faster than any Core-m7.
macOS 10.12.1

Comparing CPU load with different "hwdec" values: off vs. auto-copy
SVP is OFF in all cases

1080p h264: 12% at 2.8-3.0 GHz vs. 6% at 2.5 GHz
1080p + Hi10p: 15% at 2.8-3.0 GHz in both modes
2160p h264: 35-50% at 3.0 GHz vs. 12% at 2.5 GHz

> no hwdec actually makes it faster

well, it makes sense if you only compare them playing Hi10p videos cause Hi10p decoder is software-only

> My Mac almost always goes over 90%

this's not good, you won't get stutter-free playback with 90% system load

> if SVP has gpu acceleration but I've disabled it on mpv config file, hwdec=no, is it still using it?

this's different, hwdec is about video decoder and SVP's acceleration is just a SVP's thing

> For this particular file I just can't watch it without stutterting. Not sure why:https://www.koi-sama.net/files/hi10/

FullHD hi10p source is a difficult task for a 2 Ghz "i3" cpu, you'd better start with 720p videos...

"hwdec=auto" selects a non-"copy" decoder which isn't compatible with SVP, as a result video will remain at 24 fps while SVP won't show any error.
What you need is 

hwdec=auto-copy

>  but even in the middle point (which was what svp suggested after running the initial test)

that "middle point" is not absolute and depends on the perf. test results wink

due to your hw ...hmmm... specialty - i.e passive cooling system and very high turbo boost level - the quick benchmark may give much higher perf. level that the system can maintain on a long period of time
so you probably need to move the slider to the right from the middle position and monitor the actual CPU frequencies via Intel Power Gadget

if "SVP index" stays at 1.0 and CPU load is not higher than ~70% then your're good

yes if it won't drop frequencies due to overheating

Core i7 or Core m7?

1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core m7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz)

well, it'd be interesting to find out if it will work properly in the latter case smile

> Is it possible that your installer only creates the plugins folder if I pick one or more players?

yeah, obviously it installs only what is needed
avs 32-bit plugins <=> directshow 32-bit players
avs 64-bit plugins <=> directshow 64-bit players
vs 64-bit plugins <=> mpv || libmpv || vlc
vlc 64-bit plugin <=> vlc

luckily for you there's a per-component installation option wink

OK then.
It'll work in Sterescopic but you'll get a desync by several frames between left and right views

nope, it probably just switches your screen to 24 hz

it's a good question

OK, found it smile

In recent PMP builds (>= 20 Oct 2016) we can use 

"hardwareDecoding": "copy"

in plexmediaplayer.conf to use hw decoder compatible with SVP
