RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - Warner306 - 2017-01-17 Test post deleted. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - Shogunreaper - 2017-01-17 load from active profile was what i had to change, thanks RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - DougShuffield - 2017-01-17 I am using DSPlayer 16.0 Jarvis Beta1 - build (20151115-737db9f) and am unable to store changes on the Formats tab of the internal LAV Audio filter, LAV Audio Decoder 0.68.0. I access the property page from within Kodi via "Open Property Page", make the change on the Formats tab, select Apply, and then OK. When I bring up the property page again, my changes are not there. I do however see changes I have made on Audio Settings tab. I was also trying to manually change the settings by finding the place in the registry the internal LAV Audio settings are stored, but they don't seem to be where the code says they should be HKCU\Software\LAV\Audio and/or HKLM\Software\LAV\Audio. What am I missing? Any suggestions?

I'm not exactly sure what you are getting at? Settings for the LAV Audio filter can be modified directly in Kodi, or you can select "Open Property Page" and modify them directly on the filter's property page popup. The info in the Formats tab is not available directly in Kodi, so the only place to modify those values is on the filter's property page. Is there some other way to modify the internal LAV audio filter settings "by remote"? Thanks for the help!

Did you try adjusting settings by remote, bypassing the property page? I didn't know that Formats was unaccessible by remote. Sorry. You might be stuck using external filters. Although, that sounds awfully cumbersome. I don't know why your settings would not be saved.

I intend to post the question over at the LAV forum, but it seems my account expired so I've got to wait 5 days to post...I've consulted the source code and I don't see anything that jumps right out at me that is an issue. I will take a little deeper dive today and see if I can identify what might be the issue. Does the Kodi DSPlayer build use the LAV Filters directly without modification or do are they tweaked somehow? I know MPC-HC tweaks them slightly so that the registry entries are stored in a place unique to MPC-HC (or at least implements a callback that does this). My whole purpose is to modify the Formats LAV Audio decodes so that they go on through to ffdshow and Arcsoft decoder. I have never been able to get DTS HD-MA bitstreaming working with LAV Audio even when using the TMT dtsdecoderdll.dll. FFDShow offers a couple of more options that I guess are required by my card to make it work. If there is a different way to get ffdshow working in Kodi DSPlayer while still using LAV Splitter and LAV Video, I am all ears.

Not to my knowledge. I'd like to use Lav Audio for everything except AAC audio, which I'd like FFDshow to encode to AC3. You can add the additional filter in the DSplayer menu settings, but as LAV Audio won't save when I untick AAC, then it always takes the stream rather than FFdshow picking it up. Not sure if there might be some read-only settings on the internal LAV settings of some sort? K BTW - I'm using the x64 version of DSplayer with the latest LAV and I still have the issue. Win 8.1 RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - DougShuffield - 2017-01-18 It seems that the issue with the Formats tab is unique to Kodi DSPlayer. I was able to register and then start the property page (using rundll) of the LAVAudio.ax in the dsplayer\LAVFilters directory in my Kodi DSPlayer install and had no problem setting/clearing items in the Formats tab and the filter saving and recalling the settings. I can even see that the settings are now stored in the correct location in the registry under HKCU\Software\LAV\Audio. When I fired up Kodi and accessed the property page from inside Kodi, the settings I had made were reset. So that makes me think that Kodi is resetting the properties of the filter from its saved settings versus allowing the filter to store its own settings? And since Kodi is not storing info for the Formats tab, it just resets them to all on? Does anyone know if this is the case, or know where the filter settings would be stored in the Kodi install?

You can add the additional filter in the DSplayer menu settings, but as LAV Audio won't save when I untick AAC, then it always takes the stream rather than FFdshow picking it up. The DSPlayer internal LAV Format settings are stored in DSPlayer17.db in \userdata\Database and the entries there do not include the Formats settings. I imagine when the filter is used by DSPlayer, they are all defaulted to selected. Either DSPlayer would need to be modified to store the Format settings (ideal), or LAV Audio filter would have to be modified to store/retrieve the settings from somewhere else (i.e. the registry since the code is already there in LAV filters to do it). I expect this is an issue on the LAV Video and LAV Splitter Formats tab as well. I was hoping for a quick fix, but it is looking less and less likely.

Still,even with that bug, Kodi with Dsplayer/MadVR is still the best combo out there, by a huge margin imho. Maybe this bug will get picked up in a future dsplayer build. K RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - dado1971 - 2017-01-19 whats the minimal gpu i need to install in order to be able to take advantage of madvr settings? i am assuming dsplayer is still active? RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - Sylus - 2017-01-19 It always depends on your target resolution and the exact madvr setting you want to use. As long as you stay with 1080 and dont want to upscale to 4k, you can get a 1050 (ti) or an equal older generation. There are (were?) some problems with the current generation of Radeon gpus and the NGU upscaler, so I decided to go for 1050 TI.

Thats depends on a lot of things to be honest, not just your target resolution. The more you tweak MADVR the more pressure it puts on your GPU / CPU. I'm using a AMD RX 480 and it starts to struggle when using high quality dithering and upscaling. For most basic MADVR needs, if all your content is at last 1080p and doesnt require upscaling then even the most basic 1080 GPU will do. If you want to 4k then your minimum GPU is an RX480. For me AMD are better for HTPC video playback but this can be subjective. |
