I am also having the same issue. I did download the XBMCSetup-20110430-caa7295-dx_video.exe, latest ffdshow tryout and installed them in my machine. I made MPC-HC to work with ffdshow, but when I run the XBMC it still uses the internal codec. The internal codec couldn't handle mpeg2 movies and m2ts movies properly (toomuch video artifacts). The same videos plays very well in MPC. I would really appreciate any help in making the ffdshow to work with XBMC (any config file to tinker with?? Changing ffdshow "DirectShow Control" Merit higher didn't fix it).

ENV: Windows 7 64bit
ffdshow 64bit

Here is the error message I see in the log file.

Thanks,

tiben20 Wrote:This is a good question. The way it's working right now for the audio codec you have to chose from the gui the audio renderer you want to use with your audio codec. (This include of course reclock and all other registered audio renderer on your system)

tiben20 Wrote:Is there any preference for the way you want the filters loading to be made this time.
right now i made it quite simple

Code:

<rules>
  <video>
    <rule codec="mpeg4">
      <path></path>
      <guid>{008BAC12-FBAF-497B-9670-BC6F6FBAE2C4}</guid>
    </rule>
  </video>
</rules>

this would load the guid from the registry instead of using a specified path.
Of course this time i didn't base the rules on file extension which was a mistake i made for dsplayer in the first place.

tiben20 Wrote:Those will be fixed since lavfsplitter maintained by nevcairel and created by me based on the current code of dscodec i will just update my code to his change. This will fix many problem in the loading of the codecs.

sansub Wrote:Just a quick question, forgive me if it is dump, I am a newbie when it comes to codec thing. Do we really need to install any external codec (ffdshow) for your XBMC version to work? The reason is, XBMC plays most of the videos fine with it's internal codec. Does it comes with ffdshow already integrated in it? and if yes, is there any way to improve it to play m2ts and mpeg2 videos (currently it plays with lots of horizontal blocks around the objects when the camera moves faster).

sshaikh Wrote:So just to be clear, I can use Reclock right now by picking it as the audio renderer in the GUI?

therealjoeblow Wrote:I would very much appreciate if codec rules included the ability to be set with a filename filter (ie, portion of the filename) as before, since I like to use ffdshow(software) for everything except for stuff that is 1080p, and I use ffdshow(dxva) for that. I use move.year.720p.x264.mkv or movie.year.1080p.x264.mkv filenaming convention to make this happen.
