After Upgrading to MPV-1:0.37.0-1 & ffmpeg-mpp-2.6.1.1-1, MPV High Drop Frames When Streaming Video With 60FPS
Closed this issue · 8 comments
Hi,
Just to share and not sure whether it is a bug.
After upgrading to mpv-1:0.37.0-1 and ffmpeg-mpp-2.6.1.1-1, MPV have very high drop frames when streaming video with 60 FPS compared to mpv to version mpv-1:0.36.0-1 and ffmpeg-mpp-2.6.0-10. One example is "Bib Buck Bunny" video
mpv --gpu-context=x11egl --hwdec=rkmpp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqz-KE-bpKQ
Downgrade mpv & ffmpeg-mpp to mpv-1:0.36.0-1 and ffmpeg-mpp-2.6.0-10, the same video and settings stream with low drop frames.
Wonder whether you or other users of mpv-1:0.37.0-1 and ffmpeg-mpp-2.6.1.1-1 are facing the same issue of very high drop frames.
Device: OPI5-Plus 16GB RAM.

use mpv --hwdec=rkmpp .... then you will have no frame drops
use
mpv --hwdec=rkmpp ....then you will have no frame drops
Hi @hbiyik,
Tried that also. Re-upgrade mpv to mpv-1:0.37.0-1 and ffmpeg-mpp-2:6.1.1-1. The results is the same. Very high drop frames.

This looks like more of a rendering issue, seems they have changed some pipes
you can use libmali together with gpu-next as a better option. Panfork is not the best when it comes to rendering high res stuff. Hopefully will be better with panthor mesa.
libmali mpv -vo=gpu-next --hwdec=rkmpp youtubeurl
with that you should not get frame drops, except first few mili seconds where initial buffer allocation is happenning

Hi @hbiyik,
Downgraded to mpv-1:0.36.0-1 ffmpeg-mpp-2:6.0-10 and libplacebo-5.264.1-4 and the video stream with very low drop frames
Question is it safe to continue to use the older mpv-1:0.36.0-1, ffmpeg-mpp-2:6.0-10 and libplacebo-5.264.1-4?

Keeping old package on your rolling release system is a big no go. There's a reason why this repo rebuilds every package so aggressively: even just a single dependency upgrade would possibly break your old package and you would then need to also downgrade every single dep.
ok found it,
use
mpv -vo=gpu-next --profile=fast --hwdec=rkmpp youtubelink
the important part is --profile=fast with mpv 0.37. in that case you dont need to libmali.

use
mpv -vo=gpu-next --profile=fast --hwdec=rkmpp youtubelink
Thank you for the tip on how to run the new mpv-0.37 command.
FYI, I did try "mpv --profile=fast --hwdec=rkmpp " earlier and it did not work.
Re-upgrade/install mpv-0.37 ffmpeg-mpp-2:6.1.1-1, with the new command:

NO more high drop frames!
Re-tried just with "mpv --profile=fast --hwdec=rkmpp " and also NO more high drop frames.

Thank you for your support and great work.
alwo better to gpu-next, it is more performant. The core of the issue is rendering related, namely panfork is lacking up somewhere. I think mpv guys changed the default profile to quality or something so now frames are dropped. But the drop is not because of decoder but rendering. For high quality rendering you can use libmali it is in the 7ji repo. Or wait for panthor to be released.
Closing now.
