how do i fix this?

Choose WASAPI exclusive and bitstream.

where are those options in dsplayer, i don't see them.

What audio renderer are you using? You should be using ReClock or Sanear.

i'm usining the nvidia high definition one.

i tried ReClock before but it made videos take like 20 seconds to load.

Is the developer of DSPlayer still around?

I was now debugging the DSPlayer Krypton version and it look like this isn't working at all!
Example on DVBViewer backend:
Live streams are getting opened by the default player in Krypton


So it is using the ffmpeg, isn't it?

PVR recordings are handled by the DSPlayer and this is the problem because it isn't working at all.
I think there have to be done some more mods to get the DSPlayer working in Kodi v17 and higher...

If the stream get's handled by the DSPlayer there should be some informations about CDSInputStreamPVRManager but there isn't any!

I seem to remember that some hard coding was done...the flipside is that now DSplayer handles video streams from addons, which many of us consider to be a huge bonus.

I have done some more debugging of the DSPlayer Krypton mod.
The DSPlayer is working only for local/remote media files what have a matching file extensions with these ones defined in "mediasconfig_internal.xml".
LiveTV of pvr addon isn't handled by the DSPlayer because of the function PlayMedia in Application.cpp:
return PlayFile(*(*m_currentStack)[0], "videoplayer", true);
It will use everytime the default VideoPlayer, not the DSPlayer.

Also a big problem is that the DSPlayer is designed to open the media stream by itself.
This does not apply for Kodi >= v17.

Like the DVBViewer PVR addon is opening and handling the stream. Kodi VideoPlayer gets the stream data from the addon - not by a local file...
The problem here is that the DSPlayer doesn't know anything about the stream info and/or file extension and can't initialize the graph for the stream.

So on my opinion the DSPlayer for Krypton needs a lot of rework to be compatible to handle the CDVDInputStream.
The default VideoPlayer is handling all stream data with the CDVDInputStream.

So somebody have enough know-how and time to rework the DSPlayer for Kodi v17 and higher?

Hi,

I've got a problem with Sanear, it's not very important since I can still bitstreaming to my avr, but it's kind of annoying not to make it work ^^....

Sanear is indeed registered and I can select it as Audiorenderer in DSPlayer, but, if I play a file, it is not used: there is no Sanear tray icon and if activate the codecinfo overlay (pressing "O") it says the default audio device is used, not Sanear.

What makes it more annoying is that I can use Sanear with MPC-BE (si it well registered) or reclock with DSPlayer (so my DSPlayer installation seems ok)

Does anybody have an idea why Sanear can't work with DSPlayer in my case ? Thanks in advance.

@Portisch Actually there is no active developer for DSPlayer. The last 'stable' is the version 16.1 I don't know if PVR was handled in this version by DSPlayer maybe you can try if you like. Maybe it never worked with PVR. As i don't use PVR i don't know. One big issue with all V17 of DSPlayer is 4k/HEVC.

If you play a 4k/HEVC file Kodi crashes with madVR but not with EVR. I have tried to debug this error and i found the crash happens in the module lavvideo.ax. The destination buffer gets a zero pointer. As i'm not good with this low level code
i don't know where to search the error. It could be an error in Kodi DSPlayer or in madVR which sends a wrong buffer to the lavfilter or an error in lavfilter itself.

All developers of DSPlayer left the development for some reasons. It's sad because it's a really nice piece of work but we have to accept their decision. The Kodi team don't like to support the DSPlayer because it's windows only and Kodi itself is multi platform. It's sad too but we have to accept this too.

As now no developer is fixing errors. All i can do is merge the codebases and compile the code as it is and post the result to the DSPlayer community. I would like to do more but my knowledge of this low level isn't good enough.
As 4k and HEVC becomes more important for many users maybe in near future DSPlayer is fully abandoned.

@andy - is anyone else having issues with 4k Hevc? Like I said before, I am using the x64 build of dsplayer and have no issue with Hevc or 4k Hevc (10 or 8bit).

Which version of MadVR are you using? Lav set to Cuda or DXVA copy back?

I don't know, but ReClock will do the same things, so I'd use it.

Try Sanear

@oldpainless As far as i know everybody who uses Krypton DSPlayer 17 have issues with 4k/HEVC/10bit. I have tried the 64bit but this version never worked for me. A crash during start.

I use a GTX 950 with Windows 1064bit as OS. I have tried HW, software, copy back native and copy back and also cuda. The crash is always in the module lavvideo.ax. No matter which version of lav i use. The crash only happens with madVR as render. With EVR no crash. So maybe it's not the fault of DSPlayer but i don't really know.

I have tried with many test files found in the kodi wiki. 4k h264 runs fine but 4k HEVC always crashes Kodi. Maybe you can test this file http://jell.yfish.us/media/jellyfish-120...-10bit.mkv

With DSPlayer 16.1 the file is playing but with distortions. With all DSPlayer 17 versions i always get a crash. I love the DSPlayer but 4k becomes more important for me maybe i need to find another solution.
As i need madVR to use my 3dLut the EVR is no alternative.

Hmm, not sure what to say then, apart from I am on win 8.1 x64 with a GTX 980 TI and a 4k HDR display.

Win 10 is well known for issues.

Don't know about the last release posted by some user here but with the last Wanilton release 4K videos crash even if they are not HEVC. With the last one by aracnoz I didn't have any problem.

I really really hope this will be solved, now 4K content is really growing and not being able to use it is quite a relevant issue.

I don't know how to locate the error with 4k. It seems for some user it's working and for some it's not. In my case only 4k/HEVC crashes Kodi. 4k x264 is ok.

Actually i don't have any hope this could be fixed. So i you really want to use 4k you are stuck with DSPlayer 16.1 or Kodi 17 official releases without DSPlayer.

Is there a way to configure Kodi so that would use an external player only for 4K videos? In that way we could still use this release but avoid the 4K problem - maybe.
