Thanks mate.

Yes, you call up the menu (M key), select the video settings and then scroll to the bottom, where you'll find source filter, splitter, audio and video codec being used. Bear in mind, for Reclock checking, that once you call up its dialogue window, the screen will revert to the desktop refresh rate. So if you have your desktop (and XBMC GUI) set at 60Hz, that's how you'll find Reclock working. But if you use the autorefresh rate switching function, videos will be played at their correct refresh rate, don't worry.

liquidskin76 Wrote:@tiben,

I'm finding that DTS audio (only tested with DTS-HD core) is still not playing correctly? It's constantly breaking up. Can you test at your end and confirm? I can post a debug log if needed.

@all,

Is anyone else still seeing this on the latest build?

Also, is anyone else seeing a slight audio delay when using set fresh rate at 24hz, whilst using true full screen instead of full screen window?

Cheers

How are you playing your DTS core - are you decoding it on the HTPC and sending a processed signal to your AVR, or are you passing it thru via bitstream? I'm passing the 5.1 core via optical and have no issues with breakup, but not sure if it's the same build as you have.

I'm getting it on the 25.12.11 and 01.01.12 dated builds. I get it on bitstreaming and decoding using multiple audio filters (lav and ffdshow). It's running across optical at the moment (HDMI out port on av reciever is dead!).

It's been fine on older builds, plus it's ok on mpc-hc using same filter set).

I'll give the new build a go later.

Cheers

[EDIT:] i'm talking crap! DTS-HD core audio is fine decoding, just stuttering when bitstreaming. Just tested new build however it's the same. I'll do some more investigating later with plain old DTS as well...

I did have an issue where DTS wasn't bitstreaming at all (kept connecting then dropping then connecting etc) and video seemed jerky, turned out that the video had been locked to 20fps when using DTS, and affected mediaportal additionally.

Turned out to be some sort of directshow codec conflict, uninstalling LAV, resetting the codecs to defaults, then reinstalling LAV fixed it system wide for me.

Probably not the same issue, but just in case...

Thanks 0wing

Yep, spot on... frame rate stuck at 20fps! Cheers for the pointer!

Other files play fine, and I have all videos set to use Lav.

Something strange going on. After a while, it does work. In fact - even other mkv's don't work sometimes, with the same error. Then they randomly start working, without changing anything.

Confirmed, it's absolutely nothing that I do to make it work. If I just keep pressing enter to play the file, eventually it plays just fine, and the menu shows all lav filters being used.

I'm using all of the config from here:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=975...tcount=875

And the latest lav filters (0.43).

Now that you mention that, I updated ffdshow to a nightly build just before Christmas and had all kinds of massive frame rate and stuttering issues on .mkv's with dts. I simply reinstalled my previous version of ffdshow which was about 4 months old over the old one and everything was back to normal. I haven't tried a new version of ffdshow since, so not sure if this could be your issue too?

The REAL Joe

Just a question: why do you guys all use Lav filters when there appear to be so many issues with them? Do they provide something that ffdshow doesn't? Just asking, because I don't know... I'm happily using ffdshow with no want or need for anything more personally.

How is DVDplayer rendering subtitles, with default player subtitles are in sync when fastforwarding.

Thnx

The subtitles process is far from being the same.

Lav seemed easiest to setup. I tried ffdshow, but had problems with XBMC crashing on certain files. That was using shark007's package though, so maybe I'll try just ffdshow on their own.

the match of the splitter with the codec is made to work together. It is based on the same ffmpeg library. This is why i started the splitter in the first place for a better compatibility between the demuxer from ffmpeg and the codec from ffmpeg. ffdshow as a highly modified ffmpeg version which might not always work with the demuxer your using.
