Topic: Does vapoursynth should be used, with potplayer?

I have another question smile
I'm using potplayer to play local video.
I've heard using vapoursynth direct will have a better perfomance? I'm not sure whether this information is correct.
Anyway, I tried it like this:
1.install related software by svp4
2.
- add SVP 4\mpv64 folder to the PATH environment variable
- add new env variable called PYTHONPATH, containing the same SVP 4\mpv64 path
3.enable vapoursynth in potplayer(btw, I've unchecked "only use ...." option)

After all this, I get svp4 work with potplayer. But the video is super stuttering, about 15fps in average.
I think my testing pc's cpu is too slow(it's a i3), but it do works with 60fps when I used the traditional way as offical guide.  Shouldn't vapoursynth has a better performance?

Here is my question:
1.Shall I use potplayer vapoursynth direct? Does it have any advantage?
2.If it is recommended, does my option is somewhere wrong which caused the stuttering, or just because of pc spec?

No, Vapoursynth in PotPlayer is not any better than Avisynth. It doesn't even support 10 bit color depth and it has unusual performance issues.

I am bumping this older thread to verify something; Chainik does activating Vapoursynth on PotPlayer and have "Allow output in 10 bit color depth [Vapoursynth]" enabled NOT provide 10-bit color pass-through?

Re: Does vapoursynth should be used, with potplayer?

all video filters in PotPlayer are 8-bit only, as stated by developers on the support forum ~two years ago

I am using LAV + madvr, and I am currently smashing my head to make Vapoursynth work with PotPlayer in hopes of getting 10-bit output, it should work like this no?
