So I just got SVPlayer, Help; not working, only audio. (Page 1 of 2)

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 ?

If you play video in MPC-HC without SVP do you see any picture?

Genki
I'm not sure, how do I try that ?

exit SVP Manager

so it's not SVP related issue
you need to figure out first what a mess you've made in your system before

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

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?

Genki
Output is madvr by default.

so change it to anything else

This is when I use libavcodec when playing it

1. It works fine with output in 10-bit
2. Need to disable LAV decoder in order libavcodec to work.
3. Enable libavcodec in ffdshow setting.
4. The svp manager works fine too.
==========================================
Back to topic, I think the inability to display the video is laid in renderer.

There's a high chance that some of broken filter in registry. And it's take higher priority than renderer from SVP.

If you're using K-Lite, there's a tweak tool that fixes that. It can detect and remove the broken filter, and re-register the DirectShow

Genki
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.

And a few words about "hi10p". It's NOT a "video precision" in any way, it's just encoder option allowing h264 encoder to compress color gradients better. As a side effect it requires additional color space conversion after decoding.
BUT keep in mind that source video (before compression) is always 8-bit, and you're playing it on LCD panel with probably 6-bit precision. There's always a "color compression" from 10-bit to 8 or 6-bit somewhere - may be in video decoder, may be in video renderer, may be in the video card plus additional compression in LCD panel.
So trying hard "to view 10-bit as 10-bit" is just pointless. There's actually NO 10-bit

And making setup with "hi10p decoder" + "SVP or any other postprocessing working in 8-bit" + "hi10p output in madVR" is even stupider.

-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.

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. 

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 ?

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.
