ZERO <ibis>' Wrote:I only use 3% cpu playing 1080p so I have no limits. Interesting, you say that I should maybe switch back to ffdshow for video? Is there any filter options I should set or just leave everything alone?
As far as audio I notice that ffdshow audio likes to output everything as Dolby digital vs how it was before where things would output as PCM 96 PL. However in testing it correctly set dts when that was the bitscream although I have not tested with ac3 yet. Am I beater leaving audio to raw output as PCM 96 PL or should I switch my audio to something else or adjust an option?
I must say that I really am loving the options that this dsplayer build brings to the table. I just hope there will be something similar for the next xbmc release.
On another note has anyone had issues with the screensaver? Mine will start up but then stop randomly which is a big problem as I am using a plasma. I have already had to run the white bar twice to remove burn in caused by this.
@Video - you could indeed, I'm more of a "leave well alone as long as it looks fine and is working properly" man, so I don't tend to fiddle around too heavily with FFDShow etc, some filters can do more harm than good! All I'll say is if you're fine with the picture quality with Bicubic and the default decoder settings, you may as well leave it be, unless you know what you want to achieve
@ Audio - what it outputs will 100% be down to your audio configuration. FFDShow audio has a lot more configurable options and you can tinker a lot more; LAV is more of 'WYSIWYG' audio filter, that passes the original audio correctly, and does minimal amounts of tweaking to it; which is probably WHY it's more reliable when it comes to bitstreaming
One day hopefully DSCodec or similar players will come to the fore; it is with continuing sadness I look back and see how close DSPlayer was to completion before the project was scrapped.
I haven't had any issues with the black screen screensaver, as long as I dont knock the mouse/keyboard/remote etc. You might have something else that's waking the PC, or alternatively could you be vibrating/knocking the mouse etc slightly?
