I watch the re-encodes myself, and decided I would share with others who need them. To distinct it from other releases, I tagged them [EightBit] And that's all I do, I'm no expert in encoding and I don't wanna spend too much time with it (if you use other subs, you would have to time them, might turn out to be a lot of hard work).
I use xbmc for mac and tried the external player (mplayer osx extended) and it didn't work for me. After clicking on an episode in xbmc it wouldn't start playing. After a few tries I eventually gave it up and started re-encoding for now.
As for subgroups, doki, ffpeeps, hatsuyuki, shikkaku, gotwoot and horriblesubs (no subgroup, just rippers) and probably some others still release in 8bit. 8bit isn't dead yet. But I hope 10bit makes it into xbmc sooner than later.
I have same issue when set external player in windows but manage to solve it.
I followed guide from Use an external player for media playback and made a few changes.
- <filename> - make sure its the path of your external player without "".
- <args> - remove /close
- rename my 10bit anime to XXX.S01E01 10bit so you could run rules.
- set rule filename=".*10bit.*"
Lastly using eventghost, I've activate media player classic plugin and re-map my PS3 bluetooth remote to the media control of media player classic.
It works brilliantly for me... only 10bit anime will run media player classic.
FYI, I download K-lite Codec Pack and the Media Player Classic came with it.
Sorry if did not work with MAC cuz I do not have any MAC ... Just might be able to give some ideas if you are allowed to use same method. ^_^
