- Mariano - 2006-02-12 when xbmc will reproduce avi files in format xvid through a xvid "original" (http://www.xvid.org) codec or as videolan... the codecs are obsolets ? thanks. bad english - pike - 2006-02-12 yeah that sure was bad english. i'm not sure i even understand your question. i *think* mplayer uses the first compatible codec it can find, in this case ffodivx: Quote:videocodec ffodivx which is part of ffmpeg. second on the list is: Quote:videocodec xvid try and rearrange the order here in xbmc/system/players/mplayer/codecs.conf. that *may* cause xvid to be used. - Gamester17 - 2006-02-12 (pike @ feb. 12 2006,14:48 Wrote:try and rearrange the order here in xbmc/system/players/mplayer/codecs.conf. that *may* cause xvid to be used.not possible with the currect cvs, elupus removed/disabled the native xvid codec to save memory, and as the native xvid codec had bugs which made it unsuitable as the default xvid decoder http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/cgi-bin....;t=4466 @Mariano, like pike i have no idea if this is really what you asked about, please try a more detailed explaination (maybe by using more words will help get more of your message across) - HarshReality - 2006-02-12 he's aware of the removal/disable of the xvid codec and asking when it will become available suggesting videolan as a possible source for information. if the internal xvid codec is disabled, could it make use of an external and if so how? - Gamester17 - 2006-02-13 sorry, i still don't have a clue what he wants/asking - Youbecha - 2006-02-18 which version doesn't play xvid? mine plays xvid just fine. - SchOX - 2006-02-24 (youbecha @ feb. 18 2006,14:05 Wrote:which version doesn't play xvid?it plays xvids "just fine", but it is using ffmpeg decoder to do so, at this decoder is becomming "obsolete". videolan (vlc) is dooing a much better "job" at decoding xvid's than mplayer with ffmpeg on my pc so i suspect that the original post was a request to: 1: use the "original" xvid decoder or 2: switch from the "mplayer base" to a "vlc base" or 4: upgrade ffmpeg to support all xvid standards - Gamester17 - 2006-02-24 (schox @ feb. 24 2006,04:59 Wrote:2: switch from the "mplayer base" to a "vlc base"he might be asking your 1 and 4 points but i don't think he is asking/requesting for a vlc port for xbmc (which is a completly separate matter; discuss here instead if needed!. as for using the 'original' xvid decoder in mplayer hifty: there is already an open thread for this open here (link) so please move that disucssion there instead, thanks in advance. - pike - 2006-02-25 i think i remember why we removed the builtin xvid codec. we couldnt detect any visual difference, so we decided to remove xvid codec to save mem. ffmpeg handles alot more than xvid already our ffmpeg isnt that old either if memory serves. sure we're still on mplayerpre6 but im quite sure ffmpeg was updated to pre7 or even newer a while ago. if there has been additional xvid improvements since pre7, where can i read about this ? - elupus - 2006-02-25 ffmpeg's xvid decoder is definatly not going obsolete.. if somebody can provide me with a sample file that doesn't play using ffmpeg's decoder that does with standard xvid i'll might reenable it. otherwise it's just a waste of memory. |
