Plex HTPC nvidia super resolution windows 11

I had to run DLNA through VLC to access my Plex media server on VLC so I could use nvidia super resolution on my Plex library . The results are INCREDIBLE. I have a 40 series card. I am so impressed. It blows away anything the nvidia shield pro ever did, makes that look like a joke. This makes me wonder why wouldn’t Plex implement the functionality to let nvidia super resolution work with Plex HTPC.

How can we all get together and request Plex add this support?

In the meantime is there a way for someone to mod Plex to allow it to function?

Using VLC to make this work is less than ideal

You can already use Super Resolution (and HDR upconversion too) with the Plex Web app in the Chrome browser.

I can’t confirm that.
I have tested both with a few examples, and the results are highly dependent on the source material. But in most cases, the results of the super resolution range from “nice”, over “subtle” to “meh”. Most often it is “subtle”.

using through a web browser is a total BS work around with many cons, it needs proper support in the actual plex for windows app, HTPC

Follow the steps here => HTPC Tips and Tricks - #2 for mpv.dll installation. After that head over to the mpv.conf found in the appdata dir of plex htpc (C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Plex HTPC) and put the necessary command in that .conf file (e.g. vf=d3d11vpp=scale=2:scaling-mode=nvidia) - save and have fun

thanks for that!, I’m about to try and install it tonight, just a couple more quick questions.

  1. does this mpv version of yours do RTX HDR as well as RTX super resolution?
  2. what happens when htpc does an auto update. does that mess up the mpv player version of yours that i’ve installed?

  1. Plex auto updates will revert the DLL back to the stock one. You can use this script to keep replacing it with the modified DLL: Script to automatically check/update both plex htpc and mitzsch's mpv with TrueHD support

It’s not natively in mpv but may work as described in the link above.
