maybe you put some files in the wrong folder, i did that. the userdata folder is a hidden folder, you might've put everything in program files instead

I wonder.. the bug http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=118431 (seekbar always resets you to the start of the video) should be known isn't it? Because it's a bit sad, I'd love to fully switch to XBMC for my HTPC but yeah.. my HTPC is a bit weak CPU wise and thus relies on DXVA acceleration and it cannot really handle the normal player for 1080p content, DSPlayer can Big Grin

So if the seeking thing would work... AWESOME!

Tiben that would be awesome if you could fix the seek issue I too am having issues with that. Thanks for the continued help!

Is anyone else experiencing random crashes? I've always had them with the DSPlayer builds, but I don't seem to see too many other people mentioning them. Is it just me? It occurs when I select a file to play. Not all the time, but I'd say probably 20% of the time or so.

I think i've seen the same. I'm going to enable debuging without screen info, and see if i can catch it.

Cheers

Hey tiben,

Nice! Lucky bugger!

If you're going down the 3D route, perhaps you could add another feature job to the wish list for later.

At the moment, Full SBS 3D isn't being packaged correctly, so even though the resolution is 3840x1080, dsplayer (and dvdplayer as well) scales it down and loses 1920 horizontal pixels, therefore the file becomes Half SBS...

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=113646&page=3
(see post #23 onwards)

Perhaps you could investigate and implement the correct packaging method (frame packing?) so the full 3840x1080 is being received by the TV/Projector?

There's a few players out there that do it... Stereoscopic Player and Bino being two. I beleive Bino is open source and the source code can be obtained from their website.

Thanks Wink

Could somebody explain the way in which the filter graph is constructed in dsplayer ? Do the merit's of each filter factor at all, or does it simply use the config xml ?

The reason I ask is that with some video files Im seeing something confusing with the filters. If I bring up the on-screen info (top left hand corner, 2 lines of text) which shows the decoders in use, it says ffdshow audio and MPC Video, which is what I would expect. However, if I bring up the on-screen video settings menu and see the filters being used in there, it says ffdshow audio and ffdshow video.

Now I know you can have a graph with both the MPC Video Decoder for decoding and the ffdshow video decoder for post processing - is this what's going on ? If so, how would I disable this from happening and do merits come into it at all ?

Hey fezster,

Merit's play no part. It's all config xml as far i know.

If ffdshow video is being used at all, you will see the ffdshow video icon (red icon) in taskbar (alongside ffshow audio icon... blue icon). If it's not there (and you haven't disabled the icon within ffdshow!), then it's not being used.

Perhaps a bug in the setings menu? I would stick with the video stats (press 'O').

Cheers

Yup, that's what I meant to say, the 'O' menu and settings menu disagree. I'll check tonight to see if the icon is appearing, but you may be right, maybe just a bug in the settings menu. Thanks.

I've been using the dsplayer branch now for the last few days, and it's working really well. I'm quite impressed with how stable it's been. The only slight annoyance is that when waking from sleep, I have to wait ~ 30 seconds before I can do anything - it just all seems to freeze.

@tiben
The commit https://github.com/0wing/xbmc/commit/cccd08e4ba83db7915afa157840494b292a10cf4 seems to cause some problems.
If a video has finished playing the player doesn't get closed (stays open with black screen).
If I end the video a few secounds befor his end the player gets closed but the video doesn't get marked as watched.
I reverted the changes from the commit and the problem disappeared.

Cheers

Edit: Ok, happend again. So the commit I mentioned doesn't seem to cause the behaviour. But the problem remains.

Those line are fixing something with the xbmc gui. Example when you seek you see +30sec on the osd. I'm sure the problem with the player not closing is coming from where i changed the way it close for skipping over a file on a playlist. If you seek to the end it will close the player but not if you just let it play.

I made a build on 2. January where everithing was working. The next build I made on 6. January and there the problem occurred the first time.
