We used to have more video playback generals, and users sharing MPC-HC / MPV setups and the like. Talk anything you want about video playback here.
I've been interested in SVP (https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/Main_Page) lately, but have grown accustomed to the great fidelity, features, and lightweight install of MPV, so I don't want to swap back to MPC-HC, where to get equivalent quality would require some codec pack and/or MadVR, (and now SVP), etc.
Apparently MPV and SVP are compatible, but must be compiled into the binary, and doesn't work as an additional file just sitting in the .exe's directory, like youtube-dl, etc. Haven't also been bothered to get the MPV source and SVP source, set up the environment, and compile it just to get that set up.
Anyone use SVP already? Do you like it? Experiences with it and how it adds or changes the quality of stuff you watch, etc.
My favorite two setups (one OR the other) is either MPC from the K lite Codec package setup or Zoom player with with the install center conveniently installing everything I need or an missing.
I have primarily used MPC alone for the last couple years mainly I suppose because the setup and configuration is so simple and quick. A bit less effort to get it tweaked to my liking.
I haven't used SVP (haven't even heard of it). I will probably check it out just to experiment. I'm usually perfectly absolutely fin with MPC though so no need changing.

SVP sounded promising up until that point

I use VLC (:
Saw in /mpv/ threads that people have SSimSuperRes.glsl and/or KrigBilateral.glsl shaders in their configs. What do these shaders do? Do these only work if you upscale content and not needed otherwise? I only watch 1080p videos on 1080p monitor and I tried SuperRes but couldn't see any difference at first glance besides a slightly higher GPU usage.

I will admit, I didn't know there were different ones. I use mkv from the CCCP (combined community codec pack)
>>60689581
I'm dumb, meant to type mpc-hc.
>>60689535
In other words these shaders won't work if I don't upscale? Why GPU usage is higher though (at least with SuperRes)?

probably mpv bug
SVP made the Knights of Sidonia animu watchable

Maybe. I couldn't see a difference between SuperRes on/off with 1080p video on 1080p display but the GPU usage was like 5% higher or something.
Although I barely even notice the difference between the default spline scaler (from opengl-hq) and lanczossharp on 720p upscales (anime) unless I pause the video and start looking at the pixels. Maybe I had some great encodes or maybe my eyesight is shit and because of that I don't see any SuperRes effect either.
Thanks, anyway.
