RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - LostBrit76 - 2019-02-05 I run with madVR limited>GPU full>TV limited and I have Kodi set up to use video levels. DSPlayer though seems to use PC levels, as in if I press pause and the seek bar and so on comes up, it switches to PC levels, making the picture bright and washed out. Is there a way to make DSPlayer display its OSD stuff in video levels? RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - madjockxbmc - 2019-02-05 Its not DSplayer but KODI, look under SYSTEM-SETTINGS/DISPLAY and disable use Limited Colour Range. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - LostBrit76 - 2019-02-05 Hi, yes that option is checked so I get correct levels in Kodi itself, however, DSPlayer uses PC levels always, regardless of what that option with Kodi itself is set to. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - LostBrit76 - 2019-02-05 and by PC levels, I mean it's own OSD, so the seekbar etc is always displayed in PC levels.

It really depends on where in the skin I select a TV channel. In the bello 6 skin for example I setup a widget on my home screen to display TV channels, and selecting those works. I think I'm also having the same issues with addons (That don't use the input stream adaptive plugin). The food network seemed to have worked fine in estuary but the video won't play in bello. Its like it just doesn't bring the currently playing video into focus. I have tried disabling old dependencies, uninstalling old skins, etc. The only error I get is related to the skin helper service, and I'm looking into that right now. For amazon I set things up to launch my video in a browser window for the time being and that works fine. I just need to automate closing that window, and bringing kodi into focus. Thanks for the help.serverwmc is likely not supported by DSPlayer. That is likely your issue. For video add-ons, I've been using Aeon Nox Silvo (an Aeon Nox 5 fork) without issue with the majority of add-ons.

You aren't degrading the image by using Full -> Full -> Full. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - LostBrit76 - 2019-02-05 (2019-02-05, 19:03)Warner306 Wrote:Thanks but for a couple of reasons I get better results with Limited>Full>Limited (my TV is worse near-black with all full), and I've also calibrated this way. It's not a big deal really, I can just stop the video instead of pausing.(2019-02-05, 17:00)LostBrit76 Wrote: I run with madVR limited>GPU full>TV limited and I have Kodi set up to use video levels.

RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - mclingo - 2019-02-05 you should be using full RGB 444 on your graphics card, 0-255 in madvr and set you TV to HIGH if its LG OLED, this should not affect near black performance, in fact quite the opposite, id have another look at this again if i were you as it will fix this issue and you wont have a crushed pc desktop. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - Jachin99 - 2019-02-06 @Warner306 I started reading the documentation, and noticed next pvr, and Media portal are recommended. I'm not completely convinced this eliminates serverwmc just yet but obviously I can't say it does work until its proven. I still suspect a codec issue because my videos still play in the default skin. I'm trying out kodi because I want things to be just right so I'm willing to put in the work to make them the way I want them to be. I have an extra hard drive laying around so I might pull the drive on my test machine, and install windows 10 on the spare, and setup kodi ds without any codec packs just to eliminate any potential issues with that. If that fails, and I can't find a different way around my problems then I'll try next PVR because I have used both of the options mentioned above, and NPVR seemed simpler, unless you know of some advantage that media portal has over NPVR. Edit: If the PVR client has to use the server's codecs then I might be out of luck for server WMC. I didn't have any luck changing the live TV codecs for WMC because MS restricted the video decoder to its own locked down decoder. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - Warner306 - 2019-02-06 Have you tried regular Kodi? It has better support for live TV. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - Jachin99 - 2019-02-06 I'm not ready to give up just yet. Kodi DS still does a lot of what I need, and I can always just throw up a next pvr instance on a spare pc to try things out. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - hac_ - 2019-02-06 (2019-01-30, 03:35)nicr4wks Wrote: Is anyone using play/pause/stop events in Kodi dsplayer to trigger events? In my case via home assistant connecting to Kodi web sockets. I'm using my own Python service to listen to the websockets and adjust lights based on the play/pause/stop events. No such problems, I haven't noticed any missed events. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - hac_ - 2019-02-06 (2019-01-18, 13:18)madjockxbmc Wrote: I do not think I am the first with this issue, as I have tried to read up on similar issues. But I have not seen many working fixes apart from shortcuts rather than stopping it happening. I think the problem is most likely with nVidia driver and HDR-SDR switching that causes this. Not really a solution you were looking for, but I thought to point out that your extra display isn't really the root cause, it just causes some extra symptoms. Many of these problems occur also with a single display. On my main HTPC (regular 1080p SDR output) I have a DVI-HDMI adapter for sound (with the phantom display), and I haven't seen any such jumpiness, Kodi stays fullscreen and sticks to the main display just fine. My secondary setup with a 4k HDR TV doesn't have the separate sound and phantom display, but it still has jumpiness after playing HDR. Sometimes after stopping playback, the Kodi window moves to the upper left corner as a smaller window in some pseudo-fullscreen state. I'm also using DPI scaling on this machine, but I haven't bothered to investigate this more to see if changing that makes a difference. RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - madjockxbmc - 2019-02-06 Thanks for the reply. Ironically I have a fix ? well sort of. As I said earlier apart from buying a new AVR with correct full 4K passthrough I was pretty stumped, I tried all the apps, but nothing seemed to work or if it did it would be a once all and then the usual surprise. However I did read that mirroring the display got rid of it, I had issues with this as I had a basic DP to HDMI adapter and was using DP1.4 to HDMI 2.0b, and I never knew that was a thing so was also limited to 1080p on the phantom 2nd display, so if I mirrored with that, I would be restricted with my main 4K display to 1080p as well, so no dice there. So after messing about longer than I needed to in hindsight and very close to buying a new AVR, I bought an Active DP.1.4 to HDMI cable, set both my displays to 4K as I had the option now, could only set the phantom one to 30Mhz max (AVR) and thought I would be limited to 30 Mhz max with primary display. But No, primary at 60mhz, and all good now, nowhere for any application to jump to so I think all is good now. |
