It's obvious that all required 3rd party components should be installed in advance.
You can find the list of these components on the Download page under "Third party packages" -> "Required packages".

Everything that is required is of course required, that is by itself obvious, but that's just an equivocation, since what is required is not obvious based on what you said when you said: "just install SVP Core w/o all other stuff and add "ffdshow raw filter" yourself"
As what follows from that is just svp core and ffdshow- and, w/o all the other stuff obviously, word for word.

But anyhow. As already mentioned just previously, I might have to come back to this at a later time. Either when I have time to tweak around with this more, or when it works better by displaying the video "out of the box" by default. I must tend to some other things atm.

@james D, @mashingan, I might take a look again later then when I find time for it. I'll take note of your suggestions an ideas for then.

Ah, the same as James quoted above as well, that's relatively easy, I don't mind giving it a shot then. Though SVP core refuses to install even after ffdshow has been installed, requiring more components so your suggestion must be lacking a bit when suggesting I can install just SVPcore and ffdshow w/o all the other stuff. As it is it just aborts the install.

I see, I can do that and get it to do the same thing. Well I might be a bit tempted to try that then. But is there a lot of manual tweaking or settings I need to take care of if I do it that way ?

James D I never included any of that madVR or anything else either, that would defy I bit of the point of letting things be at default settings, so I've just let it install as is from the bundle with everything the way it is at default. Also yes, everything default included the MPC from the bundle that's 32bit.

I checked those settings and the only differ I found was that hardware decoder to use was the same for me as in the picture above posted by Mag79 i.e. NVIDA CUVID. I tried changing that to DXVA2 (copy-back) as the settings you linked to instructed. But it hasn't changed anything.

As it is, the bundle just isn't working so well by default in that it doesn't show the image of the video by default, and no amount of the advice or tweaking from here has been able change that to this point. Yeah it is sorta sad. But for now I've just uninstalled the whole bundle and installed MPC by itself so I can at least watch stuff, perhaps when this project reaches a later maturity in some future I can check it out again. For now, I'll just use my time for some other things instead.  cool

as you said - back to the roots then

MPC literally only shows the 'playbar' or what ever that's called; and nothing else as if it was a music player only

I believe this means video decoder was unable to decode video stream.
- Check "File" -> "Properties" windows in MPC-HC. There should be Video stream on "Details" tab and correct information on MediaInfo tab.
- Check if MPC-HC's internal LAV filters is in use.
- Update MPC-HC to the latest version.

-Had a look at those properties, nothing special about it that I could see with it. Along with some standard file information.
-Don't know how to really check that, but I looked through all the tabs in the options and found not even a mention or trace of that.
-Installed the newest version of MPC, no difference ofc. Since that won't change the underlining SVP.

p.s. Regarding Hi10p I never knew what's truly up with that, I just heard it very hyped by others. I'll have to push hi10p back on the backburner anyway for now, with other things coming before it in priority.

First of all, a thank you for all your efforts you put out in order to help. Lots of information in your posts I can look over again at later times as well if I find myself configuring stuff in regards to hi10p. Though I don't have too much time left if any to keep trying with this software bundle. So going back to the roots of the issue I simply came back to reaffirm that the issue must lie with the software bundle after finding time for some further testing as seen in my reply just below.

you need to figure out first what a mess you've made in your system before

Okay, back to the roots here. I knew very well that I didn't have any mess and that it was a problem with your software bundle. Now I've also confirmed this by testing it out on a brand fresh install in virtualbox and seeing the exact same thing happen. That would settle the matter I would think.

Bundle installed at all it's default settings and all. And that's how it is brand new, "right out of the box".

I even don't installing full package and I can still play it fine. I'm using K-Lite codec pack and I even updating lav filter, ffdshow, vsfilter/xy-vsfilter, etc. which come together in bundle pack and I still can play it fine.

I even encode the video into HEVC and have no problem when playing it.

First of all, you can play 10-bit precision anime video well even using SVP. So there's no need to differentiate it.

2nd, do you reboot your system after uninstalling the older codecs? Installing codecs usually fiddles with registry, so the best (or more like the safer) option is to reboot your system.

3rd, check your configuration setting, where did you mess it? You can't hide behind standard packaged configuration anymore when you want most of your codec packs. KCP is good, but only for beginner and it's very limited. That goes same with CCCP. Those two codecs even don't install ffdshow.

Additional  smile , don't use the guide in help for setting anime big_smile the best setting is the default or about that
I tried the guide for anime setting and I got worse than my default setting big_smile

So, uninstall every codecs related to the video, reboot your system, and install again with default configuration. If the problem persists, change some setting and see what the difference.

Btw, what's your output setting in MPC? madvr? EVR CP?

Well I could play everytihng fine too before. And I always try to avoid things getting mixed up, so I uninstalled everything before installing SVP's pack.

Sure it plays IN 10bit ? just because it plays something that is in 10-bit doesn't mean it's being played as it should in 10-bit. If your familiar with how to check whether it plays properly in 10-bit or not you might already know that. In  madvr's guide yyou can I think it was check with ctrl-j and check if it is actually playing in 10bit or not.  I don't know the "code" my memory but recognize it when I see it.

I can't remember if I rebooted immediately after but I'm bound to have done it a few times since then by now I would think.

3rd I haven't messed anything, everything was default and installed as per SVP pack. Nothing else, only what I got from the SVP pack.

Output is madvr by default.

It seems rather stupid that it's like this when everything is as it is from the package, and it plays without any screen. Everything is as default as can be, short of reformatting, which I may happen to even do at some point in the not too distant future.

Well off course it should be. And I never had any mess/issues before.

This problem only happened with the software I've gotten from SVP after all. That's pretty tell tell, this issue clearly stems from that.
I've been using MPC for years and never had this issue.

Bump...~?

It's pretty "debilitating" not having a screen to look at when trying to play videos. Are you not going to address it in maybe a new patch, hotfix something? Or some kind of troublshooting ? Someone here knowns this program well enough I would think to fix or bypass any obvious glitches/bugs.

MAG79
Ok, thanks, unchecked remember file position.

K, that also taken care of, someone should update the online guide with more pertinent information about this btw.

I'm not sure, how do I try that ? Is that the same as just going to profile and select Frames interpolation mode 'Off' ? If so, then I tried that, and no difference.

Also, what about playing in hi10p ? Do  I have to make the choice between this and hi10p ? Or could I enjoy both ?

As the title says, from the start, any video I try to play only plays the audio but no video.

I installed using the full installer 3.1.6 bundled with MPC.

I am really exited about finding out about this software bundle, since I could care less about hi10p for my anime when it plays like a freaking frameshow >< But my joy is postponed for now with no video. Not even a blank or black screen, MPC literally only shows the 'playbar' or what ever that's called; and nothing else as if it was a music player only.  sad

P.s. I un-installed my previous installations of codecs, madvr, lav filters, and kawaii codec pack. Hoping this software will be made better and fixed to work.
And I might as well ask, can I use this while still watching anime in hi10p with MadVR ?

p.p.s. I also happen to notice that when I close the player, and then open it again, it starts playing where I left it off. I find that annoying already, how do I disable that ?
