Topic: Problem with MPV player when SVP is on

Using the latest version of SVP 4 Pro.

Currently I have two versions of MPV installed on my computer.

MPV(A) (This is my default player I use most of the time. Latest stable build of mpv with shaders that I want. No issues with it normally)

MPV(B) (This is the MPV player that comes with the SVP 4 pro installation.)

When SVP is opened, I can use MPV(B) to play files with frame conversion. No issues at all.

However, when SVP is on, when I use MPV(A) to open any files, the file will open but the program will close itself in a second. The only way to solve this is to turn off SVP. Then things go back to normal.

Under application settings, I have already tried to add MPV(A) in the control options and chose "don't use svp". However, the force close of MPV(A) still persists.

(I need to keep both versions. I cannot stand the slow seeking of SVP+MPV so I only use SVP for selected media that I want to watch)

Re: Problem with MPV player when SVP is on

as there's no difference between mpv(A) and mpv(b), just use mpv(B) always, disable SVP and enable it "for selected media" only
there's a "ui.disable_on_launch" option in All settings

OR

add new video profile with a "video player" condition set to the full path - i.e. "F:\download\mpv\mpv.exe", un-press the "do frame rate conversion" button and press the red 'completely disable" button

---
mpv(A) crashes because it tries to load vapoursynth and there's no vapoursynth in the %PATH%
"don't use" in "Control options" works with .exe name only, it doesn't make use of the exe's full path

Re: Problem with MPV player when SVP is on

Hi,
I tried the solutions you suggested.
1.

So I just tested ui.disable_on_launch
The default was false so I changed it to true.

With this change, I can use mvp(b) normally if I don't have SVP open. However, when svp is open, the frame conversion will apply to all media again, which I don't want. I know I can manually close SVP, but doing this back and forth is tedious.

2. I think I like this solution more. With the new video profile, basically any file opened with mpv(a) will not trigger svp. I can also leave SVP on and just open mpv(b) to look at files that I want interpolation.

Thanks for telling me how to address this problem. Too bad I have an older CPU. I guess once I upgrade I can just leave SVP on all the time.

> However, when svp is open, the frame conversion will apply to all media again

I mean use the "temporarily disable SVP" option instead of exiting, either via menu or keyboard shortcut

Re: Problem with MPV player when SVP is on

Hi, I am still tweaking the configurations so that ideally, I only have to use mvp (b) and leave it at that.
Right now I have changed disable launch to true.

However, what;s the easiest way to turn SVP on? (svp is already running, just disabled)
I tried the keyboard shortcuts and it didn't work. (I set it as control + 1) Using that shortcut in both mpv or svp doesn't do anything.
Any clue?
thanks
