HQ OpenGL HW (GPU) upscalers from Bobo1on1?

Thanks Bobo1on1 & Alan et al.
p.s. using a G210 here

Glad it worked for you. Credit to the Devs. I remeber my "old" days when i started compiling...

I created the DEB packages for people don't want to recompile Camelot. Download it from here:

http://jkft.info/xbmc/xbmc_camelot_mod_a...ckages.zip

just download unzip it to an empty dir. Than:


These packages contain other improvements. Full changelog:

- HQ HW opengl upscalers bacported, credits to Bobo1on1
- CD Eject dialog added for Confluence skin, credits to Jezz_x
- Music Media flagging support in fullscreen visualization, credits to ...well me :-)

Have fun ! Alan

Does the Asrock ION support this also?
And will it work with GL builds for Windows?

yes. and yes but unnecessary since they are also avail for d3d now.

Oke...so Harware HQ upscaling works also on the DX builds?
It gets better and better

yes.

sorry if the dot makes my answer ungraspable.

Just to confirm the alanwww update from post 11 above is working working perfectly on my ASRock Ion 330. I've tried a number of files and several hours of viewing with no issues. Decent SD content (movie DVDs) look quite a bit better - crappy xvid stuff still looks crappy but that's jsut the way it is!

Does this also work in combination with a Crystal HD card?

It should work, but I can't promise anything.

@Bobo1on1

Any chance i can hope you that you can check the hq upscaling possibility with vdpau decoded SD videos ?

My dream setup for "auto" scaler option would be:

- if video card is feature set c compatible:
- SD vdpau decoded videos: hq vdpau upscaling
- SD non-vdpau videos: Lanczos 3 optimized hw upscaling
- HD videos: vdpau hq upscaling

- if video card is not feature set c compatible, but vdpau capable:
- SD vdpau decoded videos: Lanczos 3 optimized hq hw upscaling (vdpau as a decoder or even software decoder if vdpau for decoder is hard to code here)
- SD non-vdpau videos: Lanczos 3 optimized hw upscaling
- HD videos: vdpau upscaling

This would make nvidia 9x00 and IONs in par with G2x0 video cards.

Thanks for your great work,

cheers,

Alan

I just hope that for fast enough cards the best quality options are always made available. If lanczos3 is the best we can get, and we have the hardware for it, I'd love to use it even to upscale 720p to 1080p. Again, if no performance is lost, why not use the best.

At the beginning of this thread bobo1on1 mentioned taking away stuff... I just tried this on DX and it works perfectly. ATI 4890 here, with Windows 7.

Edit: http://archive2.avsforum.com/avs-vb/show...p?t=460922 fascinating reading. It's not so clear cut, apparently, that lanczos3 is better than lanczos2 or bicubic (when implemented properly). All the more reason to keep the options open.
