Yes

Setting the offset is getting a bit complicated. Could you look at the lua code below and tell me if it's correct? The number after the filename is the offset.

local function get_scale()            return math.min( props['osd-width'] / props['width'], props['osd-height'] / props['height'] ) end
local function is_chroma_subsampled() return props['video-params/pixelformat']:find('444') == nil end
local function is_chroma_left()       return props['video-params/chroma-location'] == 'mpeg2/4/h264' end

local function krigbilateral()
	local scale = get_scale()
	if is_chroma_left() and is_chroma_subsampled() then
		if scale < 1.4      then return 'KrigBilateral-05.glsl' end -- No Luma Scaler
		if scale < 2.828430 then return 'KrigBilateral-10.glsl' end -- 2x Luma Scaler (FSRCNNX)
		return 'KrigBilateral-20.glsl' -- 4x Luma Scalers (FSRCNNX + RAVU)
	else
		return 'KrigBilateral-00.glsl'
	end
end

local function get_scale()            return props['osd-width'] / props['dwidth'] end
local function is_chroma_subsampled() return props['video-params/pixelformat']:find('444') == nil end
local function is_chroma_left()       return props['video-params/chroma-location'] == 'mpeg2/4/h264' end

local function krigbilateral()
	local scale = get_scale()
	if is_chroma_left() and is_chroma_subsampled() then
		if scale > 3.4      then return 'KrigBilateral-20.glsl' end -- 4x Luma Scaler
                --  if scale > 2.8      then return 'KrigBilateral-20.glsl' end -- 2x+2x Luma Scalers (FSRCNNX + RAVU)
		if scale > 2.4      then return 'KrigBilateral-15.glsl' end -- 3x Luma Scaler
		if scale > 1.4      then return 'KrigBilateral-10.glsl' end -- 2x Luma Scaler (FSRCNNX)
                return 'KrigBilateral.glsl' -- No Luma Scaler
	else
		return 'KrigBilateral-00.glsl'
	end
end

Something like this. I wouldn't recommend using several prescalers at the same time.

Thank you for looking at the code. I don't want to use multiple prescalers but (FSRCNNX + RAVU_lite + Krig + SSimDownscaler) is subjectively the best for 720p -> 4k. If only there were FSRCNNX 3x...

Notes:

• get_scale() also checks height so that it works with vertical/portrait videos.
• 2.828430 limit for 4x scaling is from 2 * 1/0.707106 (0.707106 is the value used in RAVU's //!WHEN )
• The script did not have 3x because there's no 3x prescaler that works on the Mac (RAVU 3x uses compute).
• The whole script is here: https://github.com/deus0ww/mpv-conf/blob/master/scripts/Shaders.lua

I would like to report a problem

When I rotate a video to say 90 degrees, the video will display a purple fringe across the video
I have isolated the problem to this shader by testing 1 shader at a time
Any ideas why this is happening? I didn't have any problems with the older versions

I fixed that problem, but this shader is still incompatible with video-rotate, again because of mpv shader API limitations (with 90 degrees rotation it should be OFFSET 0 -0.5, with 180 - OFFSET 0.5 0, with 270 - OFFSET 0 0.5).

UPDATE: should be compatible with video-rotate on latest mpv.

Thanks for fixing this. I can confirm that the problem is gone. I recall you said if I leave the OFFSET at 0 -0.5, the quality would only be slightly worse right?

In case anyone is interested, I updated my script to dynamically generate and load shader file with correct offsets with regard to chroma-location, chroma-subsampling, prescalers, and rotation (Tested on Macs; probably works on Linux; fails on Windows).

Hi IGV,
I use most of your shaders in MPV and I was wondering if the order they are listed in mpv.conf makes a difference to performance and quality? What about the "linear downscaling" and "sigmoid=upscaling" lines? Should they be before or after the shaders section?

Here is my current setup. Thank you.

profile=gpu-hq
deband=no
gpu-api=vulkan
fbo-format=rgba16hf

sigmoid-upscaling=no
linear-downscaling=no

glsl-shader="C:\mpv\mpv\shaders\FSRCNNX_x2_16-0-4-1.glsl"
glsl-shader="C:\mpv\mpv\shaders\KrigBilateral.glsl"
glsl-shader="C:\mpv\mpv\shaders\SSimSuperRes.glsl"
glsl-shader="C:\mpv\mpv\shaders\SSimDownscaler.glsl"
glsl-shader="C:\mpv\mpv\shaders\adaptive-sharpen.glsl"

scale=lanczos
dscale=mitchell
cscale=lanczos

Doesn't make any difference.

If your downscaling factor is small (like <2x) you can use dscale=lanczos with linear-downscaling=no instead of SSimDownscaler.

So I guess that means dscale=lanczos vs SSimDownscaler difference is small as long as the factor is <2?

Hi IGV,

krig causes no video output but blue color when hardware decoding 10 bit HEVC video in Mac OS 10.15 if debanding is not enabled.

krig enabled + deband=yes -> ok
krig disabled + deband=yes -> ok
krig disabled + deband=no -> ok
krig enabled + deband=no -> fail

Does this work with 4:2:2 and in that case is the first hook needed?

With 4:2:2 the 1st hook simply copies LUMA to LOWRES_Y. You can remove it, but then you also need to rename all LOWRES_Y to LUMA in the 2nd hook (except line //!SAVE LOWRES_Y).

Hi igv, I have noticed that some of your FSRCNN models produce slight luminance changes that are barely visible when applied to luma, but can become quite obvious in other situations. This affects up to four of the models, the most affected is FSRCNN_x2_r2_8-0-2.glsl. Issues are disabled in the repository, if you contact me I could give you more details that I don't consider appropriate to discuss here.

FSRCNNX is latest and only supported version. Old models produce slight luminance changes because they were trained with SSIM loss.

hey igv, do you mind if you reupload the image comparison link at the top? it's not working anymore...

l am having a bad result compare to madvr's Bilateral sharp when applied to these stroke-like image which also common in anime.

Original:

madvr(left) mpv(right), I also saw this "red block inside of the stroke" issue in some anime scenes before:

madvr(left) mpv(right):

Doesn't look much different than spline36 from mpv (and without jpeg), just sharper.

Also these yellowish and blue strokes are part of the original image

Chroma bleeding sometimes happens with this shader, but FWIW it's mostly with a low bit-rate / quality images.

I didn't realize that those things are part of the original image LOL. Looks like KrigBilateral is trying to approach the original (also colors such as purple of the image above) and madvr's Bilateral sharp is trying to please human eyes IMO.

It seems krig cannot handle well when --video-rotate=90/270 is set in mpv.conf

Are you using hwdec? For me it happens only with hwdec and deband=no.

Yes, using"--hwdec=auto-copy". Except bilinear/oversample/bicubic_fast, there is no other cscale filters can perfectly show the rotated videos.

It's all mpv bugs.

What happens is that in fragment shader CHROMA_pos outputted from vertex shared is not used. And during the translation/optimization GLSL->SPIR-V->HLSL the actual input of the fragment shader is removed, which triggers validation error:

ID3D11DeviceContext::Draw: Vertex Shader - Pixel Shader linkage error: Signatures between stages are incompatible. Semantic 'TEXCOORD' of the input stage has a hardware register component mask that is not a subset of the output of the previous stage.

Basically we have this:
vertex:

struct SPIRV_Cross_Output
{
    float2 _9 : TEXCOORD0;
    float2 _13 : TEXCOORD1;
    float4 gl_Position : SV_Position;
};

fragment:

struct SPIRV_Cross_Input
{
    float2 _17 : TEXCOORD1;
};

and by changing the order, we use TEXCOORD0 and it is not tripping the validation. We can discard things from the end of input list, but not from beginning/middle.

Hope I make sense, just small workaround to make it work better when validation is enabled.
