Topic: Tracking mode can be slow & unreliable (black bars detection/autocrop)

These days, I've been wanting to move away from madVR completely. I've been trying out mpv-based players with SVP enabled, but the tracking mode just isn't as fast as madVR's. I have a few 4K movies that frequently switch between 21:9 and 16:9 and SVP's tracking mode can't keep up: it crops a few seconds too late, or in a few cases, does not crop at all. I've tested it with FRC off and it's still slow sometimes.

Is there a chance of improving this feature?

Re: Tracking mode can be slow & unreliable (black bars detection/autocrop)

I switched away from madVR and MPC years ago now. Would love an update to cropping speed detection too, but I always just disable cropping with movies/shows that keep alternating between different aspect ratios. And only enable it for static ones.

In case you're interested in my MPV configuration, which I am aware many use; here is an updated version since I haven't posted in a while (scroll to see all):

The shaders need to be downloaded separately.
