Re: VLC player support
I must say that VLC 3.0.0 seems to work with the current version of SVP plugins (0.9.0.114)
Can't check and test all that HDR stuff right now...
Re: VLC player support
Hi! I did notice a performance hit, but I think it is because SVP worked when I had hardware decoding enabled in VLC 2.2.6 and it doesn't with the 3.0.1 nightly.
Apart from that it works well as far as I can tell. (I didn't test HDR or 4K, only SD, 720p and 1080p files with H.264 and H.265).
Re: VLC player support
Is it possible to use SVP with VLC and Chromecast now?
Re: VLC player support
We have a SVPcast for this 
I believe it's much better...
Re: VLC player support
I'm not sure if SVP in VLC is working. When I start the video, SVP manager says it's playing at 59.9405 fps, but the SVP Index shows nothing in it and if I check the event logs it says:
17:41:06.218 [E]: VLC: script evaluation failed
17:41:06.218 [E]: VLC: Python exception: SVSmoothFps: unable to init GPU-based renderer - code 131072\n\nTraceback (most recent call last):\n File \src\cython\vapoursynth.pyx\, line 1841, in vapoursynth.vpy_evaluateScript\n File \C:\Users\robca\AppData\Roaming\SVP4\scripts\de4.py\, line 52, in <module>\n smooth = interpolate(clip)\n File \C:\Users\robca\AppData\Roaming\SVP4\scripts\de4.py\, line 35, in interpolate\n smooth = core.svp2.SmoothFps(input_m,super[\clip\],super[\data\],vectors[\clip\],vectors[\data\],smoothfps_params,src=input_um,fps=src_fps)\n File \src\cython\vapoursynth.pyx\, line 1733, in vapoursynth.Function.__call__\nvapoursynth.Error: SVSmoothFps: unable to init GPU-based renderer - code 131072\nI'm sure I set everything up correctly, please advise.
Re: VLC player support
you can
1. turn off GPU acceleration
2. send a report via "Send problem report"
Re: VLC player support
Hi. I'm having a problem with VLC 3.0.0 64-bit right now. When I selected vlc.exe in "SVP in VLC", it shown like this: imgur.com/Wmaea5t. The point is, "video_filter" folder had been set to Everyone full control before: imgur.com/f4nD4Bi. I restarted and ran SVP Manager as Administrator but did not work either.
Another problem: When I checked if Vapoursynth was installed successfully, I typed "from vapoursynth import core" into Python cmd (as it says here: vapoursynth.com/doc/installation.html). But right after that, it showed me this: imgur.com/SvtB9ZQ. I don't know whether Vapoursynth is installed or not. Please help me. Thank you.

When I checked if Vapoursynth was installed successfully
1. you don't need to install Python and Vapoursynth for SVP, portable versions bundled with SVP are enough
2. if you do so then you'd better understand what you're doing and why, at least you should be careful with those PATH and PYTHONPATH values mentioned in https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/SVP:VLC
3. on your image I can only see Python 32-bit

Apologize but i don't understand your point ? There is an image up there which I showed that I set "video_filter" privillege to Everyone - Full access, which includes SVP's permission, I assume ?

Thanks. So I assume that I can remove Vapoursynth and remove PATH and PYTHONPATH variables now ? And I actually don't know what "portable bundled with SVP" you are talking about is

You probably should do exactly as per "Installation - Windows" instructions on that Wiki page.
Re: VLC player support
> When I selected vlc.exe in "SVP in VLC", it shown like this: imgur.com/Wmaea5t
You can always copy the required file manually: "SVP 4\plugins64\libvapoursynth_plugin.dll.30" -> "VLC\plugins\video_filter\libvapoursynth_plugin.dll"
And then rename "libdeinterlace_plugin.dll" into "libdeinterlace_plugin.dll.svpbackup".

You mean these ones ? https://imgur.com/uJVJv1x
I got them enabled during the SVP installation. Are they outdated or I'm missing something ?

I did but Vapoursynth filter is nowhere to be found on the list

...which means PATH is not set correctly

Re: VLC player support
Same here. Installed VLC 3.0.1
The read/write rights are all there. I copied over the dll and renamed it (deleted the .30 ofc) and now there is the Vapoursynth filter yes. What then? With or without the mark SVP doesnt kick in. The python stuff is already there as MPV and so on works.
Maybe that 3.0.1 build isnt working
Edit: Ok had to turn off hardware acceleration. Now SVP kicks in. BUT doesnt work with 90 or 120fps...only with 60 and why is it stuttering with 0.5x speed? Smooth for 1-2 seconds then big stutter and smooth again....apparently due to turned off hardware acceleration?! Its all pretty useless then though
Edit 2: 120fps working if option "force the exact value" is turned off. Still stuttershit with only 50% speed.....is VLC that bad or is there a trick? There has to be a way to make SVP working with hardware acceleration on or its a stuttermess, at least with 50% speed or below.....

I don't think so. Actually, if you say that, I'm starting to think the problem might be inside mpv64 folder
Re: VLC player support
The 2 things we have to find out: how to get hardware acceleration working with vapoursynth and then how to make HDR work in VLC. Then we'd have slowmo HDR stuff 
Re: VLC player support

> Ok had to turn off hardware acceleration
It is NOT SVP's issue and probably doesn't have (easy) solution. Intel graphics?
Re: VLC player support
Ah damn. So still no HDR SlowMo option and VLC is also useless for slowmo smoothness:(

All I can say is instructions are clear and correct. If you do exactly as it said then it will work. It's also true in opposite direction - if it doesn't work then you do something wrong.
Re: VLC player support

ok now when it is actually running i can't see any difference between on and off state of svp in vlc and its running 75fps on my 144hz monitor. it's just eating cpu power for no reason as it is now.
