RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - brazen1 - 2018-03-14 (2018-03-14, 17:34)mclingo Wrote: fair enough, I personally prefer the all in one player, much less hassle and I haven't found anything DS/MADVR doesnt play nice with yet, maybe i'm just lucky.I guess everything I just listed isn't anything you've found then. I guess you haven't found any problems with HDR subtitles using DSPlayer only either. Why don't you go help these guys. The plea is directly under this thread. 327709 (thread) Maybe its one of those 6000+ commits though? RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - mclingo - 2018-03-14 I dont think so no, HDR playback is seamless on mine, HDR pops on and off no problem, as does 3D now that I let DS do the refresh rate switching. I dont play my purchased blurays or DVD's, I rip everything to MKV and then store in the spare room, I hate menus and I prefer instance access to everything I have. I dont run any scripts or anything else either, just press play and off I go. Obviously it hasnt always been this perfect as you know, its really only come together in the last few months as AMD RX drivers have matured and MADVR has improved HDR playback etc. Right now I coudn't be happier with my setup, with my RX 460 installed i'm hoping to be able to push NGU medium or high onto my 720p rips and therefore have the same settings for my entire collection. I'll then have reached HTPC nirvana RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - mkohman - 2018-03-14 (2018-03-14, 17:21)brazen1 Wrote:Fantastic reply and thank you for the information.. I am sad to hear that there will be no more updates for the DSPlayer in the near future.. I hope someone picks up from where it's been left as this is an amazing project.. I like the Bluray menus etc and it's all good but I prefer the DSPlayer simply because I can control it with my harmoney dinovo mini and see info and seek bar etc etc all within the DSPlayer..(2018-03-14, 15:06)mclingo Wrote:I can think of few:(2018-03-14, 13:50)mkohman Wrote: Thanks for that.. So why do some people choose external player? Why bother? Isn't it more hassle? Thanks..I cant think of any need for an external player with KODI DS, some people however use an external player with stock KODI for 3D playback for instance, I used to do it that way before I discovered DS.

I did time ago.. I only have full Bluray and 4K rips.. Even with the 4K remuxes I re enter them into makemkv and strip it further only leaving the highest quality audio (DTS HD MA or ATMOS depending on movie) and a single English subtitle and get rid of all the rest.. Here is an example attached.. That way I am saving an extra 5-8 GB per movie getting rid of all the access soundtracks which I will never need.. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - mclingo - 2018-03-14 The 720p stuff I have is old Star trek stuff thats not available in 1080p or 4k, I could rerip it all and upscale it but I cant be arsed. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - mkohman - 2018-03-14 Oh ok.. Sorry I forgot to add the pics in the previous post.. Here's what I meant.. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - brazen1 - 2018-03-14 I didn't say it wouldn't be updated? I stated afaik, the developer who created it abandoned it. I got that info from the DSPlayer wiki. I assume that means it won't be further developed any longer. I also stated it has been getting recompiled to work with KODI by someone who does this at their ambition to try and keep it 'alive'. The front page has a link to GitHub. In there is shows that 30,000 commits have been submitted, 6000 of them behind the official KODI release. I take it these are facts. Lingo, while I don't wish to haggle with you yet again, you basically asked about the differences using DSPlayer vs external players and insinuated you found no reason for them. I simply pointed out a few things off the top of my head which are major reasons I prefer another method and acknowledged ahead of time others may not share the same reasoning and why. For you to follow up with being lucky and further insinuating I am not, as well as insinuating my findings are not your findings by skating around the points of interest I provided is meaningless but effectively belittling once again. Then to follow up again replying you "hate" the points of interest I provided, therefor they are meaningless provided your idea of "HTPC nirvana" is everyone else's including mine. Will you and I ever arrive at a civil agreement about anything like accepting another's viewpoint when different and factual? You've driven me out of this thread now. You win. I don't know what you've won, but you win. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - Bibio - 2018-03-14 new HDMI cables are here so more fun tonight. i still play dvd as i'm not going out and spending £1000's to upgrade them to bluray. i will buy new titles on 4k from now on like i did when i adopted dvd then bluray but i sure as hell wont go replacing what i already have, well apart from a few select movies that i watch over and over again. i still have the original vhs of starwars kicking about in the attic... lol RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - vicmanpergar - 2018-03-14 *guys there's no need to take things dramatically, we're all nice ppl here trying our best to help and be understood by others. Having different points of view or different experiences with hardware/software shouldn't be letting anyone out of anything* RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - mclingo - 2018-03-14 (2018-03-14, 18:27)brazen1 Wrote: I didn't say it wouldn't be updated?

RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - Bibio - 2018-03-14 question for warner306, looking at the custom profiles in your guide for madvr i noticed that you have... if (deintFps <= 25) and (srcWidth > 1920) "2160p25" else if (deintFps <= 25) and ((srcWidth <= 1920) and (srcHeight > 1080)) "2160p25" should that not read... if (deintFps <= 24) and (srcWidth > 1920) "2160p24" else if (deintFps <= 24) and ((srcWidth <= 1920) and (srcHeight > 1080)) "2160p24" as the frame rate is 23.9xx (24) in movies not 25.

I stated afaik, the developer who created it abandoned it.aracnoz has so far been kind enough to update DSPlayer for all major releases, even after he stopped actively developing it. Whether this is going to happen for 18 is unknown. Surely he won't update it with alpha or beta releases. But maybe we can at least hope for the final release. Let's cross fingers. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - mkohman - 2018-03-14 That would be absolutely awesome.. [emoji108] Thank you @aracnoz RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - mkohman - 2018-03-15 @Bibio Which cable did you get if you don't mind me asking.. Are you on 4K HDR or Bluray? I am looking at getting a Ruipro Cable but there so expensive lol RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - Bibio - 2018-03-15 (2018-03-15, 02:30)mkohman Wrote: @Bibio Which cable did you get if you don't mind me asking..
