video freezes using 5700G GPU on Windows 10

Hi,

I think there is a problem with AMD drivers for 5700G GPU:

when I watch a x264 movie encoded with some "high" bitrate (about 10Mb/s), I experience freezes from time to time. Video just stops for a couple of seconds and resumes.

This is happening with VLC or Media Player Classic players when using GPU to decode. Using CPU, it just works fine.

I tried the same test on Ubuntu 20.04 with VLC: no freeze at all using either CPU or GPU.

So I believe there is a bug on Ryzen 5700G x264 video decoding driver for Windows 10.

I tried some parameter changes AMD Software: Adrenalin 22.4.2 or previous one, no changes.

Can you please help?

Thanks,

Jean

Hi,

I installed Adrenalin 23.7.1 as I read it comes from 23.10 branch and the results are WAY better: no more freeze during playing; just when moving the position in the movie.

On the samples I posted, it freezes at the beginning but not after.

So yes, BIG improvement! Many thanks to you fsadough!

Cheers,

Jean

Just tested the upcoming 23.10 driver and it contains the fix. Stay tuned for the web release.
