I don't recall having had to do that previously. does FFDShow and MPC deliver their own EVR.dll? I was seeing an error in the XBMC log indicating that it was unable to find evr.dll, and a few web searches led me to realize that I might need to have WMP to get that dll. Is there a different/better EVR to use?
I do have my filtersconfig and mediasconfig in my <userprofile>Roaming\XBMC\userdata\dsplayer folder and it's picking my modifications up. IIRC (and it's been a while) I never had to add codecs themselves to my XBMC directories, only made sure they were installed on Windows and make sure they are properly declared in filtersconfig and referenced in mediasconfig. I use LAV filters - and I know XBMC is picking them because it is displaying them when I showed the codec info.
In any case, I'm getting playback now and everything seems to be working well, except for Brave, which is running fast and stuttering with lots of audio dropout. I have seen behavior similar to this in the past with some HD files, but usually an update to LAV fixed it. I'm using the most current LAV filters available now. Can anyone with a directly BRD rip of Brave confirm if they are having any issues?
I'll try and explain better but as your using LAV then its not going to really apply to you.
You can either have filters\codecs installed and registered on your system which you have (LAV) or you can drop filters\codecs in \system\players\dsplayer, older builds already had a number of filters\codecs pre installed so it would run regardless using the default setup.
If you had come from an old setup and your configs where using any of the filters previously found in \system\players\dsplayer it wouldn't have worked as they are no longer included in these builds.
Ah OK, I follow now, I went back and looked, and noticed the codecs themselves in the base install and see what you are talking about. Thanks for the help, this is good information.

As for Brave - no problems with playback - but might be worth checking your rip - it isn't a DD+ title AFAIA, but a TrueHD audio stream. I can't recall many DD+ since the death of HD DVD.

Thanks Steel - I ripped this twice, but it wouldn't be the first time that I had a problematic rip. I'll go back to the source and doublecheck it.
