Topic: VLC claims only to run at 71.928 on 100Hz display

No matter what I set the frame target in settings to, 2*, 3*, "To screen"... It's always that number. Is this some quirk of the VLC integration?

See Note #2 about VLC limitations
2. The filter can't return more than 3 frames on each source frame, which means that FRC rate = x3 is the maximum

=================================

The idea is to add a new VLC module that acts like a "video filter" and runs a Vapoursynth script (just like it does with mpv)

Note that VLC has a few dumb limitations:

1. The "common" video filters are not allowed to change the frame rate! The only TWO filter that can do this are listed by names in the VLC sources big_smile - "deinterlace" and "postproc".
So to make our filter work we should replace one of them.

2. The filter can't return more than 3 frames on each source frame, which means that FRC rate = x3 is the maximum.

3. The filter can't increase frame size on-the-fly, so all SVP's options that increase source frame size won't work (at least for now).

4. It's still not known how to get the file path via VLC API so all file name based profile conditions in SVP are not working.

If somebody wants that to be changed he could ask devs as I did here https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph … 40#p450507
What's needed are:
add to whitelist svp filter's name
increase return frame rate to at least 5 (24>>>120fps)
