The image in HDR mode becomes oil painting with this one.

Can't confirm.

It doesn't happen anymore, I don't know what happened.

Question from #tomasklaen/uosc#405

My mpv config.

My mpv.conf uses profile=gpu-hq which has linear-downscaling=yes by default. I just tried adding ssimds without switching to linear-downscaling=no and it still seems to work, how come?

@igv: Exactly the same pattern/issue in this shader, explained here https://gist.github.com/igv/a015fc885d5c22e6891820ad89555637?permalink_comment_id=4546672#gistcomment-4546672

Not sure what happened to this shader but from my testing something is really off, I get a water effect on the walls in the image

ewa_lanczossharp:

SSimD:

This is the end result of something not working in this shader as expected:

I'm using vo=gpu-next and nothing else truly special in the config other than FSRCNNX + Krig

Nothing has changed in this shader either. Have you tried with vo=gpu?

Will try to test tomorrow.

I tried vo=gpu does not apply any shaders like vo=gpu-next when using images for testing like I do. Tested both with master and stable. Dead end.

Idk, wfm.

I tried vo=gpu does not apply any shaders

Yeah, Idk what's going on there, I don't follow mpv dev. Looks like none of the shaders work under vo=gpu anymore.
