Here's an updated build for everyone to try out. This is the latest from XBMC's main branch, since elupus' branch has now been merged. The '-mt' version is the same build, just with the relevant code from the a0fc63d commit removed. Compare and contrast.

tried the non "mt" build right over the latest eden distro and it worked perfectly for me.!

I also tried the non Mt build and all files play fine, the only issue is Cast Details is broken as well as ass subtitles are stuck on super large setting, can't decrease the font size but everything else works great. Good work on modding the codec engine.

Well, I went and also gave those two builds a go and tried several 8bit and 10bit anime files. For 8bit I disabled DXVA.
I have an Intel i5 750@2,67 MHz with 8 GB RAM.

I got frame drops with the non mt build, while the mt build seems to run perfectly with no frame drops, but with higher CPU use.

I tested for example:

1) The Opening which plays at the end of the already mentioned [UTW]_Fate_Zero_-_01_[BD][h264-1080p_FLAC][50256238].mkv 10bit file
--> No frame drops on the mt build, and like 50 frame drops with the non mt build, e.g. at the beginning of the OP when the camera is flying past under the bridge and when Saber transforms into her battle attire. It doesn't matter whether I play it with or without subtitles.

2) My "8bit frame drop test file" that I already used for past XBMC builds.
You can find it here: http://depositfiles.com/files/i7g4otyyt (32 secs of a Macross Frontier music video)
--> Very high bitrate seems to lead to tons of frame drops on old XBMC builds and the non mt build, while playing perfectly on the mt build

3) The first 2 mins of [Coalgirls]_Mobile_Suit_Gundam_Unicorn_01_(1920x1080_Blu-ray_FLAC)_[CF793FEE].mkv 10 bit
--> Seems to play fine on both builds. That first scene had many frame drops when playing it with bambi73's XBMC version and was one of the main reasons why I switched to DSPlayer at that time.
