3.4.0

mpv-AnimeJaNai 3.4.0

• The entire upscaling engine has been rebuilt from the ground up. VapourSynth, Python, and vs-mlrt are no longer used for upscaling. Instead, a native mpv filter keeps every frame on the GPU from decode to display. Upscaling speeds are significantly increased, and seeking speed is even faster than 3.3.0.
• TensorRT 11.0.0 for faster engine builds and slightly faster inference.
• Full-resolution chroma output, preserving the chroma restoration of the AnimeJaNai upscaling models.
• New Windows setup installer, slimmer distribution only installs the components you need, which can save as much as 4 GB in downloads and final installed size. AnimeJaNai Manager (renamed from AnimeJaNaiConfEditor) can manage installed components at any time.
• mpv.conf and input.conf are now fully safe to customize, and your edits will be preserved on update. For convenient access, open mpvnet and enter ctrl+F to open the folder containing these config files.
• New website for community benchmarks is launched at https://benchmarks.animejan.ai, AnimeJaNai Manager has a new button to submit your benchmarks to it directly. The benchmarks can take 10+ minutes to run depending on your hardware, if you are willing to contribute we would appreciate you taking the time to run a benchmark and submit your results!

Available options:

• Setup installer (mpv-AnimeJaNai-Setup-3.4.0.exe): installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\mpv-AnimeJaNai and does not require Admin rights. Recommended for most users. Note that this will be a clean install, separate from any previous releases.
• Portable (mpv-upscale-2x_animejanai-full-package-3.4.0.7z): extract and run mpvnet.exe, works the way all previous versions did.

The setup installer automatically sets the recommended backend, which is TensorRT for NVIDIA and DirectML for AMD/Intel users.

NOTE: As this is such a large rewrite, there may be more bugs than usual. If you encounter any issues please report them on the Discord server or GitHub Issues page, providing as much information as possible about the issues you are experiencing, including the hardware you're running and any specific error messages if available.

3.3.0

• New 2x_AnimeJaNai V3.1 models, with a per-profile Standard / Sharp toggle in the config
  editor.
  • 2x_AnimeJaNai_HD_V3.1_Balanced_SPANF3_b8f64_unshuffle_fp16 - this should have the speed of UltraCompact while beating the quality of Compact.
  • 2x_AnimeJaNai_HD_V3.1_Performance_SPANF3_b5f48_unshuffle_fp16 - this should be nearly as fast as SuperUltraCompact, while beating the quality of UltraCompact
• Configurable TensorRT engine settings in AnimeJaNaiConfEditor's global settings. Default is now static engine instead of dynamic. When using static, the engine must be built for each video resolution but performance is better than dynamic engine and GPU usage during upscaling should be reduced.
• Significantly improve seeking performance while upscaling is enabled.
• Automatic in-app updates (Ctrl+U) that preserve your customizations.
• mpv-user.conf and input-user.conf for upgrade-safe custom mpv and input settings.
• Add padding and cropping for RIFE interpolation to support for uncommon resolutions (#63 by @TechnoStone)

3.1.1

• Fix decimal format for non-English Windows (#38)

3.1.0

• Fix benchmark tool
• Fix default profile for 720p video
• Fix usage of deprecated mpv.conf options (#33)

Instructions to update from v3.0.0 to v3.1.0:

1. Extract mpv-upscale-2x_animejanai-full-package-3.1.0.7z to a new folder, separate from your old mpv folder.
2. If you customized mpv.conf, copy your customizations to the new mpv-upscale-2x_animejanai-v3.1.0\portable_config\mpv.conf. Do not replace the new mpv.conf file as it contains some new updates in v3.1.0.
3. If you created any custom AnimeJaNai profiles with the conf editor, migrate them by copying the old mpv-upscale-2x_animejanai-v3\animejanai\animejanai.conf to the new mpv-upscale-2x_animejanai-v3.1.0\animejanai\animejanai.conf, replacing the existing file.

3.0.0

• Add new HD V3 models
• Update to mpv-lazy-2024V0
• Update to mpvnet v7.1.0.0
• Add AnimeJaNaiConfEditor, launch with ctrl+E
• Add script to view upscaling status, toggle with ctrl+J

NOTE: there is no upgrade path from v2.0.2 to v3.0.0. To migrate any custom settings, copy and paste them from the old mpv-upscale-2x_animejanai\portable_config\mpv.conf and mpv-upscale-2x_animejanai\portable_config\input.conf to the new mpv-upscale-2x_animejanai-v3\portable_config\mpv.conf and mpv-upscale-2x_animejanai-v3\portable_config\input.conf files. Do not replace the new mpv.conf and input.conf files as they contain some new updates which are required for v3 to function.

• Slightly improve performance by increasing trt num streams in some scenarios
• Add batch scripts for encoding

To upgrade from 2.0.0, download the UPDATE package and extract the contents of the zip into your mpv-upscale-2x_animejanai directory, and overwrite existing files.
