It's default. Doesn't mean it will always be better than other renderers.

You can try madVR with native(*) D3D11 decoding. Just can't use any complex algorithms. I don't know how much sense it makes for you. One of the biggest things missing from vanilla EVR is the support for MPC-HC's internal subtitle renderer.

If you select a specific device, that forces Copy-Back mode (because for Native to work, the renderer basically selects the device).

The main reason why EVR gives better performance than EVR-CP is because it uses DXVA scaling.

You could try this setting for EVR-CP:
Options > Playback > Output > Resizer > Bilinear (PS 2.0)

Then it will use the GPU for scaling instead of CPU.

Bilinear (PS 2.0) makes no difference.

Nobody using a Skylake-S (HD 530)?
The settings should be the same for everybody, shouldn't it?

This is just a workstation and all i need is that the videos play smooth without to much CPU usage. Video quality (madVR) is not that important on this machine.
Oh and it's a 1080p Dell monitor...

Edit:
I tried the "madVR low-end preset for low-end GPUs such as Intel built-in GPUs" settings from LAV Filters Megamix (https://anime.my/tutorials/watching-...uda/#checklist) - which should be madVR default anyway.
Dropped frames all over the place...
Even on 4K H.264-AVC MPEG-4 [29.970fps][19Mbps][8bits]...

For lossless files: simply re-encode with e.g. old ffmpeg decoder but newest x264 (in the future you may activate --no-8x8dct for compatibility with old and new decoders, but currently it is forced off anyways).
What does ffmpeg have to do with this? I don't use it and all my encodes are broken.

LAV Filters are based on ffmpeg.

So how is it fixed if it was working before but now it's broken?

Your files do not conform to the H.264 standard, because x264 4:4:4 lossless encoding was buggy, so you have to re-encode them if you want it truely fixed.

These aren't lossless. It's bugging out on ordered chapters/linked mkvs.

Lossy 4:4:4+CABAC is also affected.

Hi444PP is a lossless profile, but I suppose one could use it without using lossless coding? But all the same anyway, you need to re-encode them to fix it forever.

Why does it only break if ordered chapters/linked mkvs are used? If I take those out it plays fine.

Every part plays fine for itself?
Provide sample.

Try with tomorrows nightly build (in ~3 hours or so), maybe that helps. Although you're screwed if you mix old and new files in one timeline, but who would ever do that.

That has ordered chapters. The OP and ED play fine since they don't have chapters, and the main plays fine if you remove the chapters.

Though I just noticed that attempting to split the mkvs ruins what comes after the split.
So it works fine with no ordered chapters, it'll stay fine through a complete remux, but if you add ordered chapters or split it it's now screwed.

If you split the file using mkvtoolnix only the first part will have the information about the x264 encoder revision used because x264 stores it in the front. That's why only the first part will play fine if you attempt that.

The other thing should hopefully be fixed with the nightly as nevcairiel said. I could also reproduce the issue - it was a bug after all.

Ah, so if any 4:4:4 ordered chapter encode was made by splitting the output h.264 instead of encoding them in separate pieces then it would be screwed?
I don't think I've ever done that so I should be good there.

No, as long as the very first mkv file has the x264 information even the splitted parts should work fine as a part of ordered chapters with the upcoming nightly. But if you try to play the splitted parts by themselves (without the very first part/without ordered chapters) then it will not work correctly because LAV has no way of knowing an old x264 version was used.

Hi, i've recently noticed when the sound I get when I play a movie back using plex on my TV through my reciever amp sound loads better than when I play the same movie through any app on my HTPC, this isnt strictly a LAV filter issue I dont think but all my players are using LAV.

The sound coming from my TV is PCM DOLBY 5.1 PCM, from my PC its full digital bitstreamed and all shows up correctly on my amp dialog. I'm using standard HDMI audio from my AMD RX card. To me the audio sounds thinner, has quite a bit less weight as it far less immersive, I can hear my rears much more through plex and my TV, it all just sounds loads better.

Can anyone hazzard a guess whats going on here, is there anything i'm missing using standard audio renderers in MPC-BE / HC / KOD?

i'm defo getting proper 7.1 as I have test files and each speaker calls out, its just the mix PLEX is providing seems fuller and better.
