Dropped frames, dropped audio, high CPU load - Kaby Lake issue? (Page 2 of 2)

So I've just tried to reinstall SVP, disabled GPU, disabled throttling and Turbo using Throttlestop, ran a new performance test, moved the settings slider all the way to the left, and the result is unchanged, ergo I'm back where I started.

At least we're a little bit smarter now. One interesting thing I noticed was that the version of MPV that comes with SVP doesn't play anything well, even with SVP turned off, whereas the standard version works absolutely flawlessly.

I don't have any on hand, but on Youtube, it works fine. 4K plays fine as well when I use the rigth player and that should have 2 times the bitrate of 1080p60fps if my math is correct (I don't know if this translates into CPU performance though).

That, and SVP ships with an older build of MPV.

My suspicion is that bleeding edge versions of MPV (like the one I linked) support Kaby Lake, while the older version SVP installs does not. What about the newest version of plain MPC, does that work with and without SVP?

EDIT: And OP did try MadVR and MPC without MadVR  which means EVR I assume.

There are nightly builds of MPC-HC https://nightly.mpc-hc.org/

Gotta love Intel's IGP drivers...

Well then, uninstalling your IGP drivers, cleaning out the leftovers with DDU, and letting Windows Update grab fresh ones isn't a bad idea.

You could also grab the drivers from their site:

EDIT: Also it could be 0.21, I actually haven't checked SVP's version of mpv's build number myself. I just assumed that might be the case

Thanks again for all the helpful advice. It's been quite Sisyphean again since I last posted.

The short version is that SVP is now crashing every time I try to assess system performance and basically doesn't work at all again.

The slightly longer version is that I have now an older driver than before, because my laptop apparently shipped with a version that is newer than what is provided by Windows update. I didn't even try the one from the Intel website, because it lists driver version 15, whereas my version is 20. Regarding SVP, it starts with MPV, but is completely laggy and unwatchable. It doesn't start at all with MPC-HC.

I guess my best bet is to just wait it out and hope that the drivers get updated soon?

That would've been the right thing to do. It's kinda too late now since I already installed so much software and some of it is a hassle to install because it has to be done by my employers IT.

Either way, you were right, the website drivers were newer than the windows ones. They still don't work properly, but at least I'm back to "normal".

I use dxinterop, my bro angle

Oops, you're right. Misread that in MPVs documentation.

> Every option with no check for "DXVA" worked well.
...
> I simply deleted the vo and hwdec settings from mpv's custom settings file.

bottom line it's a DXVA decoder issue with Kaby Lake drivers
