Topic: Daum Pot Player stops working during preparing smooth playback

Hello Team,

You will have to apologize me as I do not know what information to provide but I will gladly follow instructions as I have much to learn.

I used the latest SVP offering in the past with an AMD cpu+gpu system and now that I went over to Intel+AMD I cannot get SVP to work correctly. I followed the set up instructions found in a guide online and downloaded the required files.

When I play a movie and "Preparing Smooth Video Playback" comes up, it freezes and the video player stops working. This happens with all type of video files of all sizes and it does not happen when SVP is not running.

Is this something you could help me out with? What do I need to provide?

Thank you for your time!

Turn off GPU acceleration - will it work?
How did you moved to intel's system - was it a clean Windows re-installation or just an update?

Hello, Turning Off GPU Acceleration won't work. The move was a clean re-installation, a complete new platform.

1. Last launch log: run SVP, open video in Potplayer, after player freeze go to SVP tray menu - Information - Last launch log. Copy it here.
2. SVPmark results: download and run SVPmark test - click Run benchmark - wait for benchmark end - click Copy to clipboard - Paste it here.

You need x86 version. SVP is not compatible to x64.
