I had to reduce the shader back to simple lite, because I was getting audio/video sync issues, video slowness, and "performance is too low index" messages. I also increase the vector grid to 24px, I might change that back to a lower number, because I like the intense interpolation effect.

The info I gave you should be the same as the other active profiles, except the resolution obviously.
I changed shaders back to "standard" on all working profiles, it seems to save cpu load slightly. I can't use 1080p profile, because 1080p doesn't work with SVP well.

is that enough info, or do you need a little more?
I'm not talking about SVPtube but about artifacts on frame edges.
About the SVPtube. I got this off the main website:
Notes
These links're time limited and valid for your IP address only
It's completely up to video player to start playback / hang / crash / etc while opening the link
MPC-HC 1.7.xxxx is highly recommended, previous versions can hang sometimes especially with "new" YouTube "video-only" streams (see below)
Don't forget to set video player to open videos in the same window:
MPC-HC: "View" - "Options" - "Player" - "Use the same player for each video file"
Daum PotPlayer: "Preferences" - "General" - "Multiple instances" - "Disable: Play files in existing instance"
So apparently, it could be my IP address on why MPC-HC crashes, I guess. Same thing happens in potplayer btw, but I don't use potplayer. MPC-HC is better XP
Okay I'll send you the videos that have artifacts/flickers around the video/screen border.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktdFm7xNJow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq-Ru6kQhE4
There's more videos that have it but I just sent you those as an example.
Don't get me wrong but I have no idea what to do on my side to get the similar result. Unless I can do this - I can't do nothing to fix it.
You can't, because it's only on my side. Like I said, there's no specific video or link that crashes, a video can work one time, an it'll crash the next time. It can happen with any random video. So if I gave you the link to the video that crashed my MPC-HC player, it might work again on my side by the time you get to play it. It's a random occurrence with any random video. You can basically just launch a video from SVPtube yourself and experiment with it that way, because if I gave you the link, it'll just be the same result.
WolfyAmbassador
Giving the information is pointlessok then
I was mainly referring to the fact of providing videos and links of SVPtube videos that crash which I figured was pointless, since I know those weren't the issue. I meant they're an issue with the program and on my end, not the links or videos. Knowing that the programs are the issue, I wasn't going to send links or information that're not going to show up as an issue with you, this goes for some of the other stuff you requested me to do as well beside SVPtube.
GPU-Z snapshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-aI5_ … sp=sharing
Dude
Those artifacts are from the not cropped video frame. Believe me, I know.
If you really are "getting the same artifacts as that other guy" then just crop that damn video at last
Otherwise just give me the information I need to try to figure out what is wrong in your case.BTW, do you never sleep? May be it's the root cause?
Giving the information is pointless, because it doesn't matter what link or video, it's an issue with the whole program. Especially the case where SVPtube links crash the MPC-HC. That's why I skip those steps and just try to find solutions
Dude, I am getting the same artifacts as that other guy I linked you to (just spotted it)! Along with the ones I showed you. It's a apparently a problem with GPU acceleration as stated in that link.
WolfyAmbassador
Well it looks like somebody else is having this issueNo, he's not
Don't you see the artifacts are completely different?
But it seems based off of the same problem. He probably has different settings, and it looks different. idk, at least hd content works.
Well it looks like somebody else is having this issue: http://www.svp-team.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1854. Yay, I'm not the only one! LOL. Okay maybe I wasn't paying attention enough to the stuff you told me, because the guy on that thread is giving similar solutions to what you gave me.
OMG my ADHD is kicking in big time, either that or I am plain dumb and not listening properly.
never seen anything like this
give me the exact SVP settings (Information - Additional information)
and is there any place where I can download this video file?
I don't think there is a specific setting, but it usually happens videos lower quality than HD, and it isn't just this video. I just used it as an example.
ok, several video frames (w/o cropping) may be enough
"File -> Save image" in MPC-HC
you can even catch one interpolated frame and post it here too
Okay I got pictures:
Here's one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-aI5_ … p=sharing. You can see the the distorted mess on the edges near the border of the video.
Another: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-aI5_ … sp=sharing
Now look at these two pictures below with a similar scene; one has the issue, and the other doesn't.
Here is the one with the distortion surrounding the video borders: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-aI5_ … sp=sharing
Here is one with no issues: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-aI5_ … sp=sharing
So the problem seems to happen with certain frames maybe? When you play the video, it appears to be flickering when those bad frames are being played.
Another thing. I tried a few different cropping option and it's the same result. It's also a thing only seemed found on the GPU acceleration.
I can hardly see anything on this ... video
In fact it'd be more helpful if you upload small part of the source video and post here the exact SVP settings (Information - Additional information)
How do I go about doing that?
"this video is private"
Oops, I thought anyone with the link can see the video. I went to private just because I don't want to get flagged for copyright of the video within SVP. Anyway I fixed it. You can click on it now.
depends...
auto cropping can't do it for you if the border is not black
Alright, tried cropping it, didn't help. I recorded the issue with my phone camera to get a better idea of the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyyG_LelPSA watch that. I went around the edges of the video. Basically, no matter what crop size, it still shows that problem.
WolfyAmbassador
Any possible way to fix?I've already said - crop the edges and leave only the "clean" frame.
Alright, I'll try that. Will it work for every video, or do I have to manually crop every new video?
Yeah I know. It's because the one-pixel black (or gray) line at the edge.
About the flickering, okay basically, it's surrounds the content like a frame, It's usually on low quality videos that aren't HD. It's basically a flickering border surrounding the video, and it changes intensity with certain scenes and videos. I think it's the interpolation. It's an issue on GPU acceleration. Any possible way to fix?
Let's use this for example: http://m.rgbimg.com/cache1vqjTO/users/w … QwOhU.jpg, let's say the video content is the white inside the border itself. When videos are played, the rectangle border will start flashing/flickering. Kinda, funny, because the issue in MPC-HC kinda looks like that picture, like the shape of the artifact, except it's clear and flashes/flickers.
Chainik I do that. It usually autodetects the second lowest in profiles, but sometimes switches, but then I put it to the lowest anyway, but it still doesn't fix the issue where the settings get stuck in (GPU mode)and don't want to change back to the settings that worked, regardless of what's chosen and I get all these "high load" OSD messages, then I have to reinstall the whole thing all over again. Surprisingly, yesterday I restarted my computer, and I left SVP alone for a little while I was typing my previous messages to you, then I unchecked "GPU acceleration", then rechecked it and somehow it works again without re-installing everything, but still. GPU acceleration seems to be only somewhat useful when you want to use higher shaders or other settigns, but it still puts load on the CPU.
Also, when the gpu acceleration actually works, it doesn't even help the CPU conserve load by much, and it only works alongside the "CPU" setting in the main "reset settings" menu. When I go into the reset settings and choose "GPU" in the drop down bar along with gpu acceleration setting, the video won't work, it causes severe high load issues, and it's what screws up SVP in the fist place where I can't even get my original settings back which I was explaining above. So only CPU works, and GPU acceleration (somewhat) together, but GPU doesn't work, and screws up SVP.
Every time I try to reset to default SVP settings, it screws up the whole SVP where no matter what setting I choose, the CPU usage stays too high. Basically I have to Re-install SVP all over again to fix the glitch.
So here's what happens. I install SVP, it works fine when I choose the right settings, but if I reset to default to experiment with other settings, then re-choose my original settings that worked, it won't work. No matter what setting I choose, it'll be stuck at the "high CPU usage" with the wrong settings, even if I re-selected the original settings that worked for me through SVP manager. For instance, I'll have a setting with little or no issues for me, then experiment with GPU acceleration/other settings, and it doesn't work well (high load issue), and I'll go back to regular CPU mode with decent settings, no longer works and causes high load issues when it clearly worked at those settings when I originally selected them, like either the player no longer changes settings or SVP broke or it stopped changing settings. I have to uninstall everything, including the built in MPC-HC, then re-install it in order to make the whole thing work again, because resetting to defaults breaks the whole thing, and creates a forever "high cpu load issue", and changing SVP back to the "working" settings I chose originally since I installed it won't fix the issue.
use the latest MPC-HC build with internal decoders only
if the crash with some video is repeatable - post here the link to that video
MPC-HC is built into SVP folder, how would i be able to update it and keep it in the SVP folder with all of the settings that work with SVP?
Chainik It's on GPU acceleration mode, but I am getting "high CPU usage warning" when I am hosting a skype group call.
Alright, everything seems to work fine so far after I followed your steps, although the fan is louder when GPU acceleration is on. I already followed another person's step where you turn video processing off on the AMD Catalyst, but I went back a second time in your steps and realized not all video processing was turned off . I actually had to turn off more video settings in the AMD Catalyst, like "Edge Enhancement, De-interlacing", and quite a few more in that section.
Chainik It's not black flickering, it's like VHS tape type flickering, like when the film gets slightly crumbled or something. It's only on the left edge and top and bottom parts of the video content.
