Topic: Plex Media Player (TV Full Screen mode) and errors in the motion flow

Hello,

I have a clean install of Plex Media Player, Plex Media Server, the latest SVP 4 Pro and mpv installed as the SVP wiki says in a Mac OS X Sierra running on a Macbook pro with an Intel HD Graphics 4000 + NVIDIA GT650. Everything works in Plex Media Player but with some errors in the smooth motion every 5-10 seconds.

Also when I put the Plex Media Player in Full Screen mode SVP doesn´t work at all, you can see the OSD messages telling you SVP is running at 60 fps but the video runs like SVP wasn't installed.

If I use just mpv instead of Plex Media Player, the smooth motion is there too but the errors and cropping are even worst, almost constant.

I have also another Macbook Pro with an Intel Iris Pro in a Mac OS X El Capitan, latest SVP but with a brew installation of mpv from 6 months ago more or less with mpv 0.18.1 . Everything runs smooth and perfect in mpv, Doesn't work with the Plex Media Player but I suppose it's because the mpv brew installation it's outdated ...

I'm not sure if the errors in the Macbook with Sierra are related to SVP or MPV or Sierra. Can you help me with this?

since mpv 0.22 (?) this option is a must for macOS

opengl-early-flush=no

Hi Chainik,

I tried using that option and not using it because in the wiki it says "Can fix stuttering in some cases, in other cases probably causes it" and I can see the cuts in the motion in both scenarios every 5-10 seconds in the Plex Media Player and every second in MPV.

Also you didn't say anything about the "TV Full Screen Mode" in Plex Media Player, Is currently not supported by SVP 4 Pro ?, I can tell you doesn't work at all with a clean install, I can see Vapoursynth working and also SVP prints OSD messages but just that, just print messages saying everything is fine xD with no smooth motion. I'm connecting the Macbook Pro to a TV and "TV Full Screen Mode" in Plex comes very handy in that situation.

Re: Plex Media Player (TV Full Screen mode) and errors in the motion flow

I also have problems with Plex Media Player on macOS Sierra. I am using two monitors. If PMP is running on one monitor in full screen mode, i get very choppy video playback. In window mode, everything works just fine

However, i found a workaround --> when i set the focus to a window on the second monitor, the video runs smooth again.
