Are you sure your filter configuration is using XYSubsFilter and that the 32bit version of that is installed correctly? I was having problems with subs for weeks. I then realised that the starter kit files mistakingly did not have XYSubsFilter set by default for mkvs and the like. The starter kit files have been fixed now but if you are using old ones that may be the issue.

I had same problem with some files with internal Vobsub / PGS subtitles. Internal text subtitles is usually fine. Switch to XyVSfilter and the problems went away. So you might try that as well.

On my system & some files xySubfilter was the culprit.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will look into XYSubsFilter/XyVSFilter when I get home tonight. Which one is preferred?


RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - theirsbailiff - 2015-08-11

Yeah, now I know what issue I'm having; I can't get any repository to work at all. Like, I click on a repository and I just get nothing at all. Any way of fixing that?


Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - oldpoem - 2015-08-11

Try what works for you. No point stick with non-working filter. The difference in quality is not much anyway.

It's nothing to do with DSPlayer though. Usually this happen with one or some of Kodi repo mirror is down. And your system keep asking for that mirror. Give it time ,it'll works as soon as that repo went online or install your addon manually.

Yeah, this isn't a regular problem. I can't refresh the repos I have (Official and SuperRepo) at all (Only thing I get in either context menu is "Add-On information". Nothing for updating or refreshing) and a certain one (Fusion) is impossible to install. How do I fix that?

It's a change in v15 there is not update or refresh repo in context menu. The update commnad is in left sidebar.

Tried pressing the Update button and still nothing. Also, there's no "refresh" button on the sidebar


RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - aracnoz - 2015-08-11

UPDATE: Isengard DSPlayer 15.1 RC1
  • DSPlayer now uses a shared texture to show the GUI on madVR
  • fixed an issue that could cause the application to crash by navigating in kodi main menu while madVR playback
  • fixed an issue that could cause madVR to show a repeated frame loop
  • Kodi advancedsettings.xml option "<latency><refresh><delay>" to set a different audio delay for each refresh now works also by switching the display mode only with madVR
  • DSPlayer could return true in IsPlayingVideo() while performing a stop with madVR causing issues with external addons (ex. trakt.tv)
  • fixed an issue with subtitles not shown after download if playing a file with smb path

the most important thing it's that now DSPlayer uses a shared texture to works with madVR, since this will be the only method to make KODI DX11 future versions to work with madVR i decided to upgrade also Isengard DSPlayer, there are also advantages for current version

- the madVR integration code it's less invasive for the KODI original code so there should be less issues
- with this method the playstart/stop and the display mode switching should be faster
- could be not needed anymore to use the madVR option "Delay playback start until render queue is full"
- could be not needed anymore to use the option "Force madVR to exit from fullscreen before stop"

so let me know how works the upgrade to this "shared texture" compared with the old DSPlayer for you, if you are one of the guys that needed one of that options let me know how DSPlayer works disabling them
especially "Force madVR to exit from fullscreen before stop"

pls don't enable the adjust refresh in madVR and Kodi togheter, this will cause only instability

Thanks aracnoz for 15.1 RC1. I'll install and report back on the changes/fixes. Much appreciated. Smile

Hi, I've tried this build and it does everything you say it should.

Subtitles are displayed after downloading.
Playback works fine without "Delay playback start until render queue is full".
In exclusive fullscreen mode everything stops perfectly, without the "Force madVR to exit from fullscreen mode" option activated.
I switch refresh rate with madVR only.

For faster video starting purposes I've tried running madVR in windowed mode (with overlay activated) and it fails to stop the video properly. Again, this in windowed fullscreen overlay.
Here's the debug log. A tv episode is started in windowed fullscreen overlay mode, when stopped it leads to black screen. If I CTRL-ALT_DEL and then press esc (Windows 8.1), Kodi comes back alive and I close it properly to save the debug log:

These issues wouldn't have anything to do with DSPlayer. Try reinstalling regular Kodi and see if the issue persists.


RE: Kodi DSPlayer – DirectShow Player for Windows - Bjur - 2015-08-12

2 quick questions.
1. Is it best to make profiles in madVR menu or through Kodi?
2. Is AVSplitter still the best to use when playing Bluray discs or is LAV stable enough now?

Hey thanks a bunch for this work!

Playback start, faster, have disabled exit fullscreen without problems, also delay playback until render que is full is off without problems.

Sorry, theres a but coming! Do get a green/black screen randomly with playback failure.
Below log from one - (end of file is issues)
Have just played back similar file for 1/2 hour however with no issues.

Edit
Wondering whether may be directx install - ?older or something changed - directx reinstalled with Kodi causing issues?
Have reinstalled Nvidia driver, and directx webinstall to see if changes.
--- So far so good seems to resolve this issue.
Logs

New issue:
The change in the previous test build - to fix the pause remaining in screen was this included?
Still getting pause remaining on screen with this issue.


There does seem similar main thread kodi issues - which general advice appears to be move to the 15.1 dx11 version. Which appears to fix these issues for the majority.
(see here http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=232086 & http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=232900)

Now that shared textures has been won - its there a case to change dsplayer base to this dx11 thread? (pending Jarvis -or happy to try Jarvis alpha)

Anyhow thanks for ongoing support and work!
