Oh., I see now. That is what I missing. Thank you.

I would never actually do it, but my system can often upscale from DVD to FHD with the Proteus model faster than playback speed. Technically, I could live stream it at that speed. (Though, last time I tried the NVENC output, it slowed things down a lot—And that’s the only encoder that makes sense for live streaming.)
Anyway, just a thought.

Yeah that’s the one. Anyone looking to download this needs to install the MPC-BE program from another download site (I forgot… lol), install it, then run the matching CMD script. For shaders, it’s in one of the dropdown menus regarding ‘Play/playback’, and that brings you to a confusing small window where you should select “DX11” from ‘DX9’ (click it), then click the weird small bar next to that to show the list of shaders (ie, colorspace/color range adjustors, various sharpening), then click on the Post-Process area, and click ‘Add’ and okay/save it.

If it all works (with the Nvidia control panel → Video settings → Video Super Resolution set to 2 or 4) you should see a decent increase in GPU power and usage when running. At least now people with RTX 3000, 4000 and 2000 (in a few months apparently) can get upscaling via video player if they don’t need stabalization or temporal upscaling, or like 4K super fancy tweaked stuff. :slight_smile:

Now the next question is… how do you rig this up to Youtube downloader and twitch streams if you want further processing on the NV super sampling

Thanks. Not sure how you do streaming to upload it to streaming in real time, but when it comes to watching streaming, does MPC-BE offer online streaming using the player? I think it does, doesn’t it? Maybe that can work.

I think we should move all the “Nvidia RTX super resolution” posts to another topic. It is not related to the release of TVAI and this topic will be locked when next version come out.

Here is already a post about “Nvidia RTX super resolution” created 2 month ago.

I use Apollo to convert HD and 4K to 120fps. How is this (7) version different from the previous one, regarding conversion to 120fps?

Error on AMD APU Ryzen 5 5600G with Apollo:
“Last FFmpeg messages:
Unable to parse option value “0” as video rate
Stream mapping:”

The previous version worked (didn’t with the Apollo).

I don’t use all models right now, but I want them to be saved from me. If I downloaded them, then all programs downloaded during the update are deleted and all are automatically updated. Do I need to download them again after each update?

Topaz should filter this sentence so it doesn’t show up in the GUI, it causes too many misunderstandings.

Please can we just go back to how previews used to work.

It worked really well when you could set a 4 up view and see them all playing next to each other.

The new system where it seem to render them and semi save them is unuseable.

Please can we just go back to when it actually functioned

Some of us (me included) have gone back to 2.6.4 for exactly this reason! You know it makes sense - but in the absence of an explanation from them, Topaz seem to have their priorities wrong. Tip: Get the basics right, THEN work on the bells and whistles.

I am frequently getting similar errors in every version since v3.1.4

The motion de-blur option is a great help to improve the image quality, but I have the feel that it should not be applied that much on very fast motions because that just does not look good. There might be some sort of a threshold when the improvement turns to a degration of quality instead.

I actually like this version, where you can actually SEE a small clip so you can judge other frames, motions, etc… but I could totally see having a “IMAGE PREVIEW” and a “CLIP PREVIEW” so there is both. I know when I am doing proteus fine tuning the clip is necessary 100%, but if I was just trying to find the best model to use for preliminary or something, the quick frame image was superior.

Mind you, the clip preview is pretty broken right now, as per my previous post in 3.1.6 thread, but nessesary.

can anybody tell me which doesn’t lose as much of detail when upgrading 30fps to 60 Chronos or apollo

Try Chronos (Not Fast). If that produces artifacts, try Apollo. Chronos processes much faster than Apollo.

Hi - can you please send me your log files from Help > Logging > Gather Logs for Support? Thank you!

Hi Andrew - if you could also send me your log files from Help > Logging > Gather Logs for Support. Thanks!

i work with shows from 70s so looking to keep as much detail as i can i just did what’s happening and it took only 5min using chro fast no artifacts i can see
