RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - sp90378 - 2019-11-28

So, it's been a while since I started another show, as I had been watching a long running anime with embedded subtitles. Found that when I watch shows that uses .srt external subtitle files, that the player shows it, however they do not show up on the screen. The filter, xysubfilter does not show a language, however if I manually open the subtitle file in the filter when playing, it then works. Thinking something maybe related to it and madvr?

Thoughts anyone?

Post of an image of what you checked in LAV Splitter and XySubFilter.

So, sorry, it was really late and I should have put more info in it. I was up really late trying to figure it out. Earlier in this thread, someone reported the same issue, but never replied back to you I believe it was. So I am using the Plex app within Kodi for video as well. Kodi is installed on the same machine that Plex is, so file structure/folder paths should not be an issue.

In LAV I normally had audio specified along with advanced for subtitles with a list, but decided on the last go when I uninstalled everything and reinstalled to leave it default. So as you can see, while playing a video file xysub does not show it at all. The subtitle files do not end with something like -eng.srt, but just simply the same filename as the video source, but of course ending in .srt. I know I could merge the subtitles with all the video files, but that seems like it would be a bit of a pain, especially since I have a  ton of shows I would have to do that with.

Did you try adding a default subtitle language into LAV Splitter?

I did. It was how I originally had it. Here is what it was, which is how I have it on my other machine when I open videos using just windows media player. And it works great there and does what I want. It's just in Plex/Kodi, it shows 1 file/subtitle, but it never is actually displayed. And just FYI, I am just going to merge all of the files. It's just annoying as I have 3+TB of shows, and the script can only do 1 folder at a time. Then I will need to move the merged file into the main folder of the show, etc.

RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - Shogunreaper - 2019-12-02

Anyone have an idea of why this happens when i try to play some 10 bit mkv files? Is there a setting in madvr that i can turn on/off to make it stop?

Doesn't happen immediately only after about 15-30 seconds of playback and it's only a problem when using dsplayer, if i switch to kodi's videoplayer it plays it fine

this is the mediainfo of the mkv

RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - spencerjford - 2019-12-02

Have you upgraded the lavfilters in the install directory of dsplayer?

RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - sp90378 - 2019-12-04

Anyone know if its possible, some setting maybe, that would keep an audio signal live while a video is paused? The issue I run into is when I pause a video and resume it, the receiver basically has to re-negotiate the signal type and then has several seconds of no audio, prompting me to always have to go back 5 seconds or so. When playing content on a Fire TV Cube, Xbox, etc. I do not seem to have this issue. I verified with Pioneer and they say it's behaving like normal, so not like an eco mode or anything, which I had checked just to be sure. I had Yamaha receivers before and never had this issue. I have Windows in general set for Atmos (running a 5.1.4 setup).

I had a similar problem for a long time, mainly with with Blu-rays I ripped myself and bitstreaming lossless audio, but the sound was usually gone completely until I stopped playback and started it again.

I did finally found a solution that fixed it for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/arbdfi/fix_for_nvidia_hdmi_audio_timeout_issue_such_as/

I have Nvidia GPU and Denon AVR, but I guess it might affect other GPUs/AVRs as well. Basically you need to find the HDMI audio driver in the registry and disable the power saving function.

RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - mclingo - 2019-12-04

Hi, getting a small issue with my setup, I need something to test it further, I think its a problem with my TV to be honest though.

Issue: when I play some HDR 2160p movies they play fine with low rendering times but every now and again i get a horrible cglitch where a panning shot will stutter really badly. If I wind it back sometimes it will do it again, sometimes it will be worse, sometimes slightly better or not at all. I first though it must be an issue with the MKV file itself but I' not sure now as when I use MADVR to tone map and convert to SDR the problem stops.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a HDR version of a test pattern like any of these, has to be a downloadable MKV though, rather than on youtube.

This helped me out.  i always hated that delay on audio start.  from youtube to watching stuff on kodi!

Thanks for the info. I am using an Nvidia GTX 1080, and tried this fix, and while it seems to be slightly quicker in getting audio back, it has not resolved the issue. I did notice is DSplayer settings it has it set for internal audio decoder, and mentions that its settings overrides the settings in the main settings, however the main ones has an option to keep the steam active as well, which I had set to always. In any case, I still get 3-5 seconds of audio delay when I resume. Having a baby in the house unfortunately means we pause fairly frequently. I am using a new Pioneer receiver, and never had this issue with the old Yamaha receiver (was only using WMP then though).

Any other thoughts? Of course when using the Xbox, Fire TV Cube Gen 2. this is not an issue.

RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - IT007 - 2019-12-05

The Kodi keep alive setting never did anything for me, only that registry fix.  I always use external LAV filters myself, be sure to keep those up to date. Could it be an Atmos thing? One thing you could try is decode everything in LAV audio and send LPCM to test. If it works, you could only use bitstreaming with dolby. 

I'm running out of ideas but this add-on https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Unpause_Jumpback could make it a little less annoying. If the delay is constant use that and set it to rewind like 5 seconds.
