High quality video output profile (goes into mpv.conf): profile=opengl-hq video-sync=display-resample interpolation tscale=oversample mpv.io/manual/master/#configuration-files
Ok so stats.lua doesn't show RAVU being active at all but I looked through the log and couldn't find any errors? hastebin.com/quxexemome.md

I have no idea if my monitor is Adobe RGB or not, it's SM633NW, old as fuck.
Also what's a good website to compare pics? diff.pics is giving me errors

The only change for the vulkan RAVU is that it loads the weights in rgba16hf format instead of rgba16f. Technical explanation: Vulkan doesn't support bit-depth conversions the way opengl does, so rgba16f (which is 32-bit host float -> 16-bit float texture upload) does not work. The host data needs to exactly match the texture data for vulkan.
OpenGL does this for weird historical archaic reasons. It might be possible to either add rgba16hf support for OpenGL (half-float upload) on supported drivers, and rossy is working on some 32->16 bit float repacking code that would enable rgba16f support for vulkan as well, but those are just ideas at this point.

How do I screenshot properly the results from mpv? it always looks the same no matter the config
Luis Myers
Check if your video is low resolution enough for RAVU to activate.
Christopher Peterson
ctrl+s
Liam Barnes
You have to use screenshot window keybind (or sharex and save as png), this is if you want to capture scalers and all that.
Lucas Collins
RAVU is an upscaler, it won't need to do anything if you play a 1080p file on a 1080p or less monitor.
Jonathan Reed
Try Ctrl-PrtSc
Sebastian Hill
That's because your configs are all placebo.
Adrian Barnes
Confirming this worked now, downloaded the new build, set cscale to Spline36 and used gather RAVU instead of compute.
Colton Gray
Well that's that mystery solved. Can confirm it works with a 480p video file.

hanna do you know what bjin is working on? also what do you think about his intentions to port RAVU to MPDN?

Weird, it shouldn't work because vulkan doesn't work with rgba16f, which is what the compute shaders use as well I thought.
Jayden Evans
but does it work with ewa_lanczos if you use --vulkan-async-compute=no ?
Eli Robinson
>17.10 considering linux is currently at version 4.13, that's gonna take a while..
Anthony Brooks
Well you only just added that commit to the PR so I haven't had a chance to test it yet. Since I'm a Windows faggot I'll wait for shinchiro
Xavier Perry
what's up with that dithering
Colton Foster
Oops, meant Ubuntu.
Wyatt Hall
Problem is your settings kills details sometimes or sometimes worsens banding, sometimes it's too dark, I am not hating on it the contrast can look really nice. vgy.me/xYW4vf.png -auto vgy.me/14lsNJ.png -settings
Adrian Gomez
Sorry, i thought it would upscale and then downscale even if the resolution was the same as my monitor. But maybe that would just worsen the quality or whatever.
I dunno, it might be that I got the Vulkan-specific version anyway just that I don't remember it.
Matthew Evans
Using my own monitor profile makes some stuff that is supposed to look white yellow, for instance the windows photo viewer background, that's why I was using Adobe RGB which doesn't show that problem.

>Sorry, i thought it would upscale and then downscale even if the resolution was the same as my monitor. But maybe that would just worsen the quality or whatever. Its OK, user. Common mistake.
Carson Long
Those settings you use must be wrong because on my IPS monitor (Dell U2414H) the second screenshot has no background. It's pretty much all black whereas the top screenshot has some detail in it.
Josiah Price
>i thought it would upscale and then downscale even if the resolution was the same as my monitor I think scaler-resizes-only=no makes that happen, not sure
Ayden Taylor
For me target-prim auto looks the same as bt.709. target-trc srgb looks way too dark in some scenes and gamma2.2 is kind of a middle ground.
Blake Clark
Depending on ICC profiles used the results will be different for everyones. Just test yourself and decide yourself which looks best.
Anthony Wilson
Same on my shitty monitor
Alexander Nguyen
>You might have to play around with --target-trc depending on the response of your monitor, other good values are =bt.1886 and =gamma2.2
Christopher Wilson
>tfw have ICC profile and get perfect colors with mpv (icc-profile-auto) >tfw my ICC means jack shit to madVR and wont work
Michael Gomez
Almost any TV can play 24hz content without judder.
Jacob Harris
Bullshit.
Owen Turner
this is what happens when you actually have a calibrator and aren't a pleb using some calibration profile from a website
Nathan Wright
>tfw mpv and video-sync=display-resample works perfectly without any issues >tfw mpc-hc, madvr and reclock never fucking works
not much for a good one, don't buy datacolor their ones are shit
Dylan Mitchell
>=bt.1886 >target-prim=bt.1886 doesn't work, unless you meant target-trc A little bit
Luis Scott
gamma2.2 master race.
Christian Cruz
On my calibrated monitor, opening those two images (with --vf=format:gamma=srgb to match the --target-trc=srgb you set), the "-settings" version looks better.
Camden Lopez
thanks haasn :3
Owen Bennett
>$258.99 >Not much That's probably more than most people's monitors mate.
Christian Rodriguez

Nolan Reyes

Dylan Wilson
That wouldn't change the fact that it's still not "not much".
Yeah that looks way too dark, which is probably due to a limitation of --target-trc. (mpv assumes a monitor with infinite contrast for its internal conversions. It would probably look better on a CRT)
My guess is that it would look better if you use --icc-profile=sRGB.icc instead of --target-trc/--target-prim.
Zachary Brooks
how
Blake Kelly
The spyder software is shit I agree but the HW Calibrator with DisplayCAL is great.
Samuel Sullivan
But if you're going to spend money on better calibration, then it would seem incredibly stupid to buy a budget one, because then you'd probably still have wrong colours. Either do it well, or just stick with defaults.
Bentley Cox
Only way to get accurate colors is to use a colorimeter.
Jeremiah Ortiz
If you insist to continue using somebody else's profile, you could try setting --icc-intent=3 to disable white point adaptation. :^)
Alexander Williams
>Sorry, i thought it would upscale and then downscale even if the resolution was the same as my monitor. But maybe that would just worsen the quality or whatever. RAVU by default only does this for a maximum downscaling ratio of 1.6. If you generate the RAVU shader yourself you can change or remove this limit, but be noted that there's no real reason to do so.
Easton Brooks
Did you calibrate your monitor? (And no, Dell's """factory""" """calibration""" doesn't count)
Eli Thomas
Can you get your monitor calibrated somewhere for cheaper instead of buying calibrater?
Ryder Adams
scaler-resizes-only only applies to mpv's built-in scalers (--scale etc.), not external shaders like RAVU.
Sebastian Murphy
By downloading your manufacturer icc profile.
Jonathan Wilson
1. you can generate a madVR 3DLUT using ICC. The tool back in the day was yCMS. haasn also wrote something based on LittleCMS 2. you can directly calibrate a madVR 3DLUT using ArgyllCMS
Jeremiah Watson
Yeah, by downloading an icc profile.
It's literally 99.99% compatible since monitor standards rarely deviate much. You may have to increase/decrease the brightness, contrast or RGB channels a tiny bit.
Angel Gutierrez
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Chase Evans
Sup Forums - technology
Hudson Adams
can't you just use glsl-shaders-append to force upscaling?
Benjamin Williams
What about doing the Windows colour calibration thingy? That generates a profile based on you selecting which grey squares are greyer and shit.
Cooper Williams
show off your programming socks in the right IRC channel.
Brayden Miller
You can get i1 rebrands / used colorimeters for cheaper. There's also this thing amazon.com/X-Rite-CMUNDIS-ColorMunki-Display/dp/B0055MBQOM which afaik has the same sensor but is slower. The modern spyders aren't that bad either, just slow. And of course, if you're destitute-tier poor you can get a ColorHUG but it's slow and has massive QC issues. (Which is to say, it has zero QC)
P.s. throw all stock software in the trash, use ArgyllCSM. If you're a GUI babby faggot use displayCAL
Camden Howard
If your monitor costs less than $500 you might as well throw it in the trash instead of trying to calibrate it, you'll never get a good result anyway. Honestly I would go for more like $1000 when buying monitors.
Luis White
Nah user even a budget calibrator is a world of difference between that and an uncalibrated monitor.
Andrew Perez
World of difference maybe, but still wrong. I'd just cough up the extra bit then to be sure.
Landon Diaz
That has nothing to do with it. The shader *is* getting loaded, but the shader itself does a check to see if the downscaling ratio would be below 1.6 or not. If not, it skips the shader passes.
