4K/HDR issues

Post by Quartermass »

As suggested viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4104&start=1150#p20065 I'm posting a log because I've found MrMC is stuttering/freezing on 4K/HDR content.

The file is a remux so there's lots of data there. I'm using an nVidia shield, it's being output to a Sony STR-DN1080 and from there to an LG OLED65B7V.

I've tried different h/w acceleration options, this is it at default. Some combinations disable HDR (the TV displays when HDR is working) but none seem able to play this file without difficulty.

get codec info up when playing, look at aq/vq and buffers. looks like the net transport can't keep up.

Ok. There have been a couple of changes to the network. I've reterminated a couple of cables up in the loft, and I've replaced the unmanaged switches with managed switches.

That got me thinking and it looks like I need to go reterminate a cable.

So I reterminated the cable showing as crosstalk - before I did it I noticed that the 100 but not 1000 light was on the switch.

I reterminated it twice to no avail. Then remembering that sky TV was put in last week and the guy was behind the TV I pushed on the ethernet cable into the wall port and wiggled.... and the problem has gone.

A simple connection issue!

That seems to confirm it - not sure why 2 frames were skipped but they seemed to be as it started to play rather that while it was playing. I did take a short video if those numbers are hard to read.

However my guess is the AQ and VQ are fine - or should they be 100%? The buffer I'm guessing is the 150MB and is fine?

If that is solved then I'm down to only having 1 real issue with MrMC.

Thank you for the help!

Codec info looks fine. aq/vq are audio and video demux queues. The 150MB buffer feeds them.

If aq or vq drop to zero, then a buffering cycle starts.

Ah I see.

I think I'll somehow wrangle a way to attach this to the remote so I can turn it on and off.

I've watched the numbers in more detail and sometimes the video queue drops down to 90, and I think the first digit has rolled to an 8 once or twice but from what you've said that's perfectly fine.
