This is great news.....Thanks for all you've done so far.

Can someone remind me on how the sound works with this player?

I'm getting no sound with DSplayer but I am with DVDplayer. Do I just install ffdshow or is there a simlier/cleaner way?

Thanks

I have having an issue with dsplayer. For some reason, it is not accelerating some 1080p h264 mkv files. Its having an issue with the movie Babel. It has subtitles so that could be part of the issue. For some reason there are a huge video lag, its stuttering and playing in slow motion. Its not keeping up with the audio... The movie plays back fine using the regular dvdplayer.

Here is the debug log.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

This is exactly the same problem I am having with another 1080p h264 mkv file. See my post:

Can you upload a sample? I'm willing to try it out.

What machine are you running on?

Thanks hades, I will try to get a sample on the 'net this weekend... All VC-1 1080p files play fine as well as all mpeg2 files (1080p and SD) play fine...

I am running a Pentium® Dual-Core E5200 @ 2.50GHz. Vista 64bit Service Pack 2. I am using a Zotac Mini-ITX motherboard with integrated Geforce 9300 graphics. 2gigs of DDR2-800

paco Wrote:I guess I'm one of the lucky ones! I've been using your player for weeks under Windows 7 and haven't had any issues. The only reason I keep hoping for an update is to get all the other non-DSPlayer fixes updated. Is the DSPlayer trunk in sync with the main XBMC trunk?

This is because you didnt tryed yet to toggle fullscreen or you dont have 2 monitor.

Hello,

Thank you for the update! I tried it out (I was setting up a new ATI4350-based XBMC machine anyway).

Your previous version (XBMCSetup-Rev25381-dx) ran everything just fine, except for DTS audio via HDMI which I just couldn't get to work (it works fine using the default dvdplayer).

This new version: DTS audio still doesn't work. The sample MKV file of Home Alone I posted previously worked very nicely with the previous version, CPU was ~10% and everything was in sync. This version was horrible, it simply said 'Not using DVXA'. I reinstalled the previous version and it played it fine.

Thanks. But I'm sticking with your previous version.

Let me know if you need any info from me.

Not to speak for Tiben, but posting a debug log and stating which version of Windows you are using would likely be useful.

It pays to read other posts in this thread as the DTS problem seems to be a Nvidia ION problem and I believe you are using an Acer Revo you should be able to solve your problem by installing the Nvidia HDMI Audio driver again


minor quibbles - hellohello - 2009-12-19

senor tiben20, but in the midst of the massive advances you are making, please keep in mind the following:

1. Under Settings, you still have "Look and Feel" instead of "Appearance", is your trunk up to date (my, my, that sounds nasty). because, if so, then,

2. There was a bug where auto-generating thumbnails was borked. This was fixed however in RC1. In your post-RC1 build it appears to be broken again. Also,

3. There doesn't appear to be any media flagging information at all within the player itself. i.e. "Media Info" (pressing "i" during playback) under DVDPLAYER will show you the codecs of the file. Under DSPLAYER, all you get is a stingy "0.0"

and lastly,

4. I get the following errors when i try to compile/build latest svn of your branch:

Error 61 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _MFCreateMediaType@4 EVRAllocatorPresenter.obj XBMC
Error 62 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _MFFrameRateToAverageTimePerFrame@12 EVRScheduler.obj XBMC

Any tips, maybe some Includes/Library paths I'm missing

thanks, again, for your tremendous butchering of this iteration of XBMC.

What is your problem? There is no need to insult the coder. If you read this thread, you know he's still coming to grips with the XBMC codebase. IMO, you are being extremely disrespectful. Until you can code better, keep any nasty comments to yourself!

Think your find it was a joke as tiben20 is a butcher not that he was doing a bad job Smile


mr paco, - hellohello - 2009-12-19

you would do well to take your own advice about reading this thread:

i have, over and over again, lavished tremendous praise for tiben20 and his work and he is, indeed, a butcher, who, after hours of dealing with hard cold meat, still mangles his fingers into fantastic codeweaving machines.

how's that for remembering details from this thread?

thanx, >>X<<, for pointing out the obvious.

If you could just take a look at the difference beetween the debug and release you would have noticed what lib missing i just fixed the bug
and for dxva under evr i didnt tested im developing under windows xp i exactly know why its not using it so i will fix it today

Everything is running Windows 7 for me. Sorry about that. Logs coming up in a few minutes.

Actually, I've read every single post, some twice, over the past few weeks. My setup consists of:
2x Acer REVO. One hooked up to a TV via HDMI, the other via analogue to a TV.
2x Dell Desktop with ATI4350. One hooked up via HDMI to a receiver, the other via analogue to a TV.

I clearly stated the machine I am setting up is an ATI4350.

Here are the logs. Both logs were taken with the same Home Alone 2audio-track MKV file I posted earlier. Neither works with DTS, both work with AC3. Old version runs fine with DXVA, new version does not. Both are able to play DTS fine using the built-in dvdplayer.
