I can wait however long but it aint changing anything

The problem its that something broke/change or missing in your installation, its not how Rife behave. Like noctis4329 and RickyAstle98 mentioned, the cmd its a normal action and take 1 minute then save and play , next time for that same resolution its not triggered

And for many of us , not using Rife isn't a option.

My installation is fine. Don't just say things. I have tried many times across many installations across mutiple OS installations. There is not much to it. It just doesn't work.
The moment i turn on RIFE. the video freezes. I see some text in CMD. and then soon enough no more new text, and just left with freezing video. or a video that just plays extremely slow at 0.1 fps
It's a garbage feature honestly. If in 2 years it can't even work once normally. I wish it did though, because im curious why everyone is on this.
And I really don't get how it is "working" for others. But yeah for me Big nope sad

The Text in CMD is supposed to happen, but depending on your GPU it can take some time to complete. With a 3080 on previous models it took up to 5 minutes, but with a 4080 and later models it's usually around 3 minutes at most. Once it's complete the text will go away and the video will start up again. So if you are having problems with a 5090 and assuming that your CPU is not under powered causing a GPU bottleneck ? Then the problem is 100% something you are doing (or not doing) because we've been using SVP+Rife for years with much, much lesser GPUs.

i have a rtx 5090 and a intel i7 8700k (will upgrade soon). When playing 4K videos, i have 100% cpu usage and 40% gpu. It's very stuttering. Is the cpu is really too old (it's supposed to run mostly on gpu ?!), or do I have something wrong ?

edit: reinstalled svp and reconfigured it, now cpu usage is at 60% and no dropping smile
however, at x3, the cpu usage goes to 100% and it's dropping. This is because my cpu needs to be upgraded or something is wrong ?

edit2: it reset madvr, that's why it's using less power ^^'

edit3: actually i still have big problems i upgraded to madvr beta, and it stuttered. Switched to mpc video renderer, and still stutter due to 100% cpu

Try MPV player. It's basically like using MadVR+MPC but it's more efficient than even MPC by itself. Run the mpv.com command from the mp64 folder. When it is running press "I" on the keyboard and that will give you the stats. If there are no packets being dropped and the CPU is not at 100% then you can start learning how to configure it properly and add commands to the mpv.conf file in the same mp64 folder.

Just have a fun practice to share. Sometime we have to sacrifice some clarity (resizing or downscaling) for smoothness over RIFE, especially for high resolution videos.

Do not put downscaling in the same category as "resizing".Resizing and upscaling can make images look worse. But in general,  downscaling, especially a "small downscale" does not sacrifice anything and it can actually improve how an image looks. If the image does look worse then you are probably using a too sharp downscaler. So with proper use, it is very unlikely that most people would see an obvious difference between the original and the downscaled version even if you are pixel peeping.

I watched a deep dive into the 5090 architecture and boy is it AI focussed and not games focussed at all. They could have made a cheaper card which actually performed better for games. But instead they made an AI card that can be used for games. This could be great for Rife. Unfortunately this probably only applies to the 5090 because the 5080 is so far behind it in performance, that some argue it's really a 5070.

Unlike previous generation, 4070 was 50% of 4090 performance on 4K average output, according to 5080/5090 review tests, I think 5070 would be 45% of 5090 now!

Something like that. We thought the 4080 was a little far being the 4090, but the 5080 is even further behind the 5090. So far that some are saying that it is almost guaranteed that a 5080ti will have to appear to fill the gap.

According to NVIDIA descriptions, this is driver-based AI model delivers smoother gameplay by inferring an additional frame between two rendered frames on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs!

If thats not DLSS Multi Frame Generation at all, we have brand new driver-based interpolation now? What a shame, no FG for all RTX users!

For games without DLSS Frame Generation support, NVIDIA Smooth Motion is a new option for enhancing your experience! *NVIDIA

When did belief become an issue?  Linus is not the most trustworthy person but I don't have an opinion on this issue one way or the other. I simply asked who was the reviewer.

No improvement in realtime performance across all models, almost the same transcoding speed (0.8% slower), but new heavy models runs 5% faster now!

Going back to Lossless Scaling. The only app I see is a Steam Application which I wouldn't want to run. Where is the non steam version?

Testing might reveal something else, but there's nothing obvious in the change log except possible improvements for lower specced GPUs below RTX4070ti.

Hi,
What is expected uplift in RIFE from RTX 4090 to 5090 ?
Is it about 30% or more ?

The 30% number is generally for gaming, but 30% does track with the increase of Tensor cores and other hardware. So it could be 30%, it could be more, it could be less. The only certainty is that it will use more power.

I'm probably missing something obvious but how are you applying it? I only see a Steam implementation, nothing else.

The LSFG3 x3 alone: looks choppier and less accurate than RIFE x3 mode, takes 8 times less resources!

Thats better solution for 4K videos for example! For HFR monitor owners SPECIFICALLY!

Usage: when your GPU able to do 3x RIFE with 4K input, theres enough GPU headroom to RIFE x2 + LSFG3 x3 ontop without 100% usage!

For 144Hz users (1080p output / 4070 power levels): RIFE x3 + LSFG x2 = looks very smooth (24>144 / GPU usage 70% ~120W)

For 240Hz users (1080p output / 4070 power levels): RIFE x2.5 + LSFG3 x4 = looks very smooth and accurate (24>240 / GPU usage 80% ~130W)

For 360Hz users (1080p output / 4070 power levels): RIFE x3 + LSFG3 x5 = looks very smooth and accurate (24>360)

All tests done with 4.4v2 model (old) for GPU usage local measurement, newest models almost 2 times heavier, the multiplier decision, gentlemens, is up to you!

Im using RIFE x3 + LSFG x2 for 24>144 movies conversion, usually GPU usage looks like RIFE x4 with 6x real FLUIDITY rate!

On videos with LSFG3 only, looks pretty normal, conversion from 24FPS is less accurate, but smooth enough!


Do you do it with lossless scaling?

I only have the smaller 4.25?heavy 82.6MB, glad to look into the differences of the old  4.25h if you provide a link for download the file.

I like very much the smoothness of heavy version, most of the time , but with miss the interpolation in some scene at the point that can't used instead of 4.25. If this " errors" where fix maintaining the overall smoothness or fine a way to eliminate/minimize  I will be glad to use 4.25h as main.

I give you three examples that what i'm saying for you to test. Comments are appreciated.

Avengers at 1:53:23 after Hulk jumps of the 3° building

Avengers Endgame at 2:19:12 after Drax stab Cull Obsidian , and Pepper(Rescue Armor) fly across the screen

Spiderman No way home at 38:00 when spiderman drop hanging of the bridge after the car fell. And 38:20 after Doc OP take the nanotech and camera pans 360 around him.

Am not saying that 4.25 make this scenes perfect, but managed in a way much less disrupted.

Doesn't matter now plus the link no longer exists.

The 4.25 lite (new) worse than most older models!
Performance? Can do 7x from HD source (24>168/720p)
Smoothness? Smoother than 4.15 model, but choppy sometimes!
Artefacts? A lot! Very noticeable difference against heavy!
The SC disabled!
RTX 4070

The QUALITY models
4.9/4.10/4.12/4.15/4.15l/4.18

The SMOOTH models
4.4/4.5/4.6/4.7/4.8/4.9/4.10/4.25h

What about 4.25h 100MB vs 4.25h 80MB?

There's new versions of 4.25lite and heavy uploaded a few hours ago.

I checked for any improvements in artefact handling but I couldn't find any.  I already have smooth Rife, but it does seem to be a little smoother and performs well in my forward/reverse direction tests.

Heavy ran first time for me with no issues. It didn't even ask to redo the engine model so I will probably need to make it do that. Removing cached entries doesn't help so I will try your files.

Update
Yes they work thanks. I don't see any difference with v25 in terms of artefacts. I haven't spent enough time to check out smoothness.

Hello everyone, Can you use SVP + Rife with the Plex Desktop Tool "without using an external player"? I tried with Emby but unfortunately couldn't get it to work.

@unreality You can use Plex HTPC which is an "mpv-based" player instead of Plex Desktop. It does much of the configuration for you so you don't have to learn how to configure mpv. I stopped using it a while back so I don't know if they have kept up with the latest mpv versions.
