Hmm that's a shame. Thought it could be solved otherwise. So it will not work even if I disable xysubfilter and just using internal?

i'm not sure internal works with madVR. it's worth a try though.

Can someone tell me which of the following protocols are now supported by DSPlayer (I am referring specifically to the live TV upgrade)?

daap|rtv|rtsp|rtmp|http|https|rtmpe|rtsp|mms|rtp|pvr

I planned to update this information in the set-up guide.

I have a problem with rc1 dsplayer madvr. Often when I stop a video i only see an empty frame so I have to exit to get normal screen. Any fix for that?

I just installed the Amazon Prime Video + PrimeProxy addon. Has anyone tried to get DSPlayer to handle video addons like Amazon Video (which works great BTW).

Sorry, didn't understand if we can use pvr with latest rc1, or we should stick with beta2 special binaries. If someone can explain if it's possible and how...
Many thanks,

Thanks Ed. Yes, I've already configured DSPlayer to use directshow for http/https (without using DVDPlayer). However, I think for Win8.x/Win10, DSPlayer isn't able to handle this. It's all boils down to the error in my Kodi log:

Kodi Condition/Error that DSPlayer can't handle[ automatically

Code:

FATAL: CFGFilterFile::Create CoCreateInstance failed!

The only way I can get all my video addons to work (Youtube, and Amazon Prime Video) is the enable, "Use System Filters (DirectShow Merits).

EDIT: And.. now I know exactly what filters are used when "Use System Filters" is enabled (I used GraphStudio + Connect to Remote Graph). No surprise... "File Source (URL) + LAV Splitter + LAV Video + LAV Audio + MadVR + Default DirectShow Audio Render"; which is EXACTLY what I had specified in mediasconfig.xml + filtersconfig.xml.

So, I can finally prove there's a problem with DSPlayer (at least under Windows 8.1) when trying to do a simple HTTP/HTTPS playback filtergraph.

Code:

FATAL: CFGFilterFile::Create CoCreateInstance failed!

is the only log error captured unfortunately.


@aracnoz can you please try to reproduce this using the Youtube addon for Kodi using the Isengard beta 2 DSPlayer version of Kodi?

Not sure what condition causes DSPlayer try to start the unusual "CoCreateInstance"; and, DSPlayer doesn't know how to handle it at that point... For youtube videos, it tries to use cyberlinkvideocodec. (poor attempt from DSPlayer to handle CoCreateInstance), For Amazon Prime videos, DSPlayer tries to insert another filter I don't have,

Code:

11:04:29 T:4028   ERROR: CFGLoader::InsertFilter Failed to create filter "cyberlinkvideodec"
11:04:29 T:4028   ERROR: CFGManager::RenderFileXbmc Failed to load filters rules
11:04:29 T:4028   ERROR: CDSPlayer::Process - Failed creating DS Graph

mediasconfig.xml

Code:

....
        <rule name="Remote URLs" filetypes=".*" protocols="http|https" url="true">
            <source filter="file_source_(url)" />
            <splitter filter="lavsplitter" />
            <video filter="lavvideodec" />
            <audio filter="lavaudiodec" />
        </rule>
    </rules>

playercorefactory.xml is pretty much empty...

Code:

<playercorefactory>
   <rules action="prepend">
     <rule protocols="daap" player="DVDPlayer"/>
   </rules>
</playercorefactory>

On I run Kodi with administrator priviledges (and UAC slider turned all the way down in Win8.1). I don't have any real-time antivirus running (Windows Defender is completely disabled during testing).

I just installed the Amazon Prime Video + PrimeProxy addon. Has anyone tried to get DSPlayer to handle video addons like Amazon Video (which works great BTW).

Did you try enabling Force madVR to exit fullscreen before stop in DSPlayer settings?

Or do you mean pause instead of stop?

The Starter Kit in the set-up guide was updated to support MediaPortal and Argus TV PVR backends. You will need to overwrite the previous mediasonfig.xml and filtersconfig.xml with the new files and follow the instructions below (also in the set-up guide):

MediaPortal and Argus TV – Live TV Users

Built-in support is provided for live TV streams using the rtsp protocol. This service has been tested with MediaPortal and Argus TV PVR backends. To complete live TV installation, the user must install a custom version of the TsReader filter designed for DSPlayer.

MediaPortal TsReader.ax Replacement:

• Before installing the new TsReader.ax, the x86 version of Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2013 should be installed.
  
• Download & install TsReader.ax: MediaPortal TsReader Filter for DSPlayer (regsvr32.exe TsReader.ax); TsReader GitHub.
  (Overwrite and replace the original TsReader.ax in C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal or C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal.)
  
• Extended support for the installation of TsReader and configuration of LAV Audio is available in the following thread:
  MediaPortal TsReader DirectShow Filter.

A couple of notes:

1. In order to play Live TV with DSPlayer, users have to remove "rtsp" and "pv" protocols from playercorefactory.xml file that included in the "DSPlayer Starter Kit.zip"

Code:

<playercorefactory>
    <rules action="prepend">
        <rule protocols="daap|rtv|rtmp|http|https|rtmpe|mms|rtp" player="DVDPlayer" />
    </rules>
</playercorefactory>

2. MediaPortal users have to change "Streaming method" to "ffmpeg" in MediaPortal PVR Addon settings.

Yes I did that. I have enabled madvr exclusive mode and kodi in window mode. Is it correct

Guys, i've a question, but take into account i'm a complete ignorant on this, and just being curious.
Is it possible to watch Dash streams from DSPlayer, using any filter (hence, youtube 1080p)?

[MKANET]

It's pretty straight-forward (if it's going to work) (per ED76's suggestion a few posts up)
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2037842

However,, there's a condition that the DSPlayer code doesn't account for (see my last post for full details); which happens to other people in this thread per their log files). I'm still waiting for aracnoz to test this under a normal Win8.1 setup; or, at least, expose a little more details about what's going on regarding the CoCreate instance error when trying to play http/https video streams.

Or.. you can just hope for the best; and, enable " "Use System Filters (DirectShow Merits)"; which "can" circumvent the above issue. Bottom line, I think we need aracnoz to confirm the "CoCreateInstance" bug in DSPlayer to considerably improve our chances at getting this to work.
