I'm curious as to why anyone was looking to add Margro's pvr patches to these dsplayer builds?
margro's pull request is targeting a work around to play "growing" files with ffmpeg without sampling them for such a long duration that subsequent channel changes cause freeze up
Doesn't dsplayer's filter config effect live tv playback as well? Or does live tv still default to the dvdplayer core?
If it's "effected" then you should be able to get the channel "zapping" effect during live tv by using the PDVD12 or MS DTV-DVD video decoders for mpeg2. All my live tv is mpeg2, but that isn't universal. LAV video is not great for channel zapping, much longer pause on channel change than the other two I mentioned. Has anyone tried these instead of margro's patch? Or does live tv playback in dsplayer builds bypass the filters config?

DSPlayer still uses XBMC dvdplayer for stream source & PVR.

Great to see DirecShow support on XBMC, the only reason i switched from linux to windows was the LAV filters, my cpu can't decode the h.264 10bit with dvdplayer but on LAV it takes about 40-60% on intese scenes where dvdplayer would drop the frames and go 100%.
Still there is some downsides too, it takes incredible long time to play big video files over ftp and sometimes the video won't even start where dvdplayer starts immediately. Also lack of wasapi on dsplayer was a bummer too, had to install reclock for that.
Any plans for madVR? tried it but the video pops up into seperated window, did i misconfigure avsplitter or it simply does not work yet?
Anyway thank you for your great efforts!

I've an odd mkv bug.
Almost all MKVs play fine in dsplayer-xbmc, except some that stutter (missing frames here and there, making the screen flicker). Only certain MKVs do it, and they play fine in everything else (windows media player, vlc, etc.)
Tried playing with the codecs, no luck. Tried fullscreen true/window, nothing. DXVA on/off, nothing. Only fix is Use EVR instead of VMR9, but then it pops up the video in a new window where I can't use the remote control anymore.
I don't really know where to look to debug anymore, any ideas?

EVR is the way to go, and my video does not pop up in any new window.
Are u sure u're using DSPlayer or an external player instead?

My apologies, I'm on EVR, that's the one giving me issues (but only with certain MKVs, everything else is flawless). I confirm that DSPlayer is the player, not an external one.

I haven't tried DSPlayer in over a year, but I downloaded the newest version and I'm still having the exact same problem as before. If I have PC speakers selected as my default Windows audio, it will output XBMC audio to those speakers rather than my home theater speakers which are the selected audio source in the XBMC settings. Does anyone have a fix for this?
EDIT: I have tried changing the audio renderer under the DSPlayer menu, but it doesn't fix it. It shows the correct audio renderer if I bring up the video stats information, but it still will only output out of my PC speakers unless I manually change the default audio via windows.
