Potplayer Generic: Current issues, development, bugs

[mzso]

Spoke too soon. It crashes habitually if I seek quickly.

[mzso]

Daum PotPlayer 1.5.39036 - x86/x64 Stable

• Added the ability to jump to previous/next keyframes (Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right)
• Added the ability to shutdown/sleep the PC in a specific time
• Fixed a problem where the function storing bookmarks to PBF file does not work
• Fixed a problem that color came out strangely when game capture function is used in certain games
• Fixed playback problem of certain WMA files
• Fixed an issue that the program does not pass to the next item after playing certain MKV files

I still don't get a .PBF file...

Found it. It's next to the films...

[Finished]

something wrong, all my history recent files disappear in "album/favorites" . i unchecked "remove noexited files". has PotPlayer a bug or "auto delete a history", "auto limit a history", "auto delete after time a history"?

[sheppaul]

I guess it's not a potplayer issue. or just update to the latest version to confirm the problem.

[Digmen1]

If I upgrade to a new version Do I still keep any settings that I have changed ?

I'm not sure. With bet upgrades you do, for sure. Someone claimed a while ago that the installer resets the settings, so maybe with the full version removes the settings.
Anyway to be sure, set potp to store the settings in an .ini file, and back it up somewhere.

[Digmen1]

Thanks
I had just installed the latest version from here and, yes I lost all of my settings.
So next time I will try what you suggest.

Anyone knows how to use avisynth scripts? I always get script error.
I'm particularly interested in this one: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=134078

[sheppaul]

What kind of error did you get?

Before starting, try to use the one included in the player. I've tried and it worked well with built-in decoders.

I've tried multiple built-in scripts but they didn't work. Except for the color bar. But that only shows a color bar...


I always get an error starting with "there is no function named" and than a name like 'Deblock'.

Additional filters for avisynth should be installed manually.

For example, truemotions requires InterFrame library somewhat similar to SVP.
As it uses SetMTmode, you may need multi-thread version of avisynth.

I'm not sure what you mean. Where do I get the filters?

You search: https://www.google.com/#q=avisynth+deblock

[sheppaul]

As for interframe, i've googled it for you.

I see. I thought I had to copy from avisynth or there was a library or something.

[mzso]

Okay, now I get it. I thought potplayer supports avisynth scripts and not just uses avisynth.

@jagabo
Now I get invalid argument error for 'Deblock' so I guess that's a step forward.

[jagabo]

Post your script.

Post your script.

The one I mentioned earlier:

Deblock() dfttest() FastLineDarken() deen("a3d",4,8,9) Spline36Resize(last.width*2,last.height*2) AddBorders(4, 0, 4, 0) aWarpSharp(depth=12,blurlevel=4,thresh=0.2,cm=1) FastLineDarken() aWarpSharp(depth=6,blurlevel=4,thresh=0.7,cm=1) Crop(4,0,-4,0) FastLineDarken() DeHalo_Alpha() fft3dgpu(bt=3,sigma=8,sharpen=1.3) Spline36Resize(last.width/2,last.height/2)

Wow the Code tag works geniously... Or the forum engine otherwise destroys the line breaks.

New attempt:

Deblock()
dfttest()
FastLineDarken()
deen("a3d",4,8,9)
Spline36Resize(last.width*2,last.height*2)
AddBorders(4, 0, 4, 0)
aWarpSharp(depth=12,blurlevel=4,thresh=0.2,cm=1)
FastLineDarken()
aWarpSharp(depth=6,blurlevel=4,thresh=0.7,cm=1)
Crop(4,0,-4,0)
FastLineDarken()
DeHalo_Alpha()
fft3dgpu(bt=3,sigma=8,sharpen=1.3)
Spline36Resize(last.width/2,last.height/2)

You need to add a source:

AviSource("filename.avi")
Deblock()

[sheppaul]

I just wonder if this script will work for real-time process.

[mzso]

You need to add a source:

AviSource("filename.avi")
Deblock()

Okay. The others have potplayer_source(), so I guess I need to use that.
Now I'm stuck at dfttest, because it can't load "libfftw3f-3.dll" even though it's in the same folder.
God, this is a nightmare. Apparently this one needs the dll int the potplayer directory, others were fine with AviSynth 2.5\plugins\. And one explicitly wanted "AviSynth 2.5\plugins\InterFrame-2.5.0\Dependencies\"
Just awesome.

[sheppaul]

dfttest - README.txt: Requires libfftw3f-3.dll to be in the search path.


https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/335181-Keep-getting-libfftw3f-3-dll-could-not-be-loaded-error

It should be in the system folder of windows.


in case of x64 -> c:\Windows\SysWOW64\


i quit



FYI, it seems not work with AvisynthMT version


ps. You need to load the plugin specifically too.

After getting files for nearly every friggin line I get a plain black screen after I added fft3dgpu...
Marvellous...

[jagabo]

So without the fft3dgpu() line you don't have a problem? See the requirements for use of fft3dgpu() -- certain nvidia or ati graphics cards.

http://avisynth.org.ru/docs/english/externalfilters/fft3dgpu.htm

If you don't have one of those cards use the non GPU fft3dfilter() instead.

By the way, I doubt you'll be able to get realtime playback with that filter sequence. On my quad core i5 2500K and multithreaded AviSynth I only get around 4 fps with SD material.

No. It misses it without it.
I'll try. Thanks.

Gah avysinth is spectacularly horrendous.... Anyway I tried the simpler version of the script. Of course that doesn't work either... Hunted down what it needs, but dies within LimitedSharpenFaster, with some sort of invalid mode error online 102

[jebirum]

"Auto close the last file on complete" does not display the current logo screen. I manually close the file to display the logo.
I'm currently using the latest non beta version and use Potplayer to play DVD and BD movies only.

This issue goes back quite a few versions.
Is there some other setting to make this work?

[After Hours]

While creating a new skin I've encountered some bugs:

• Many times PP doesn't obey the WidthLimit & HeightLimit values in MainSkinArea (at least in Direct3D 9 skin overlay mode).
• User menus aren't displayed if triggered by AltCmdIDs in Direct3D 9 skin overlay mode.
• If in a paused state clicking 'Next bookmark' can get stuck on the current bookmark (it doesn't affect clicking 'Previous bookmark').

Perhaps some of these are limitations (?) but the first two issues in particular would be nice to see fixed.
