Hi all -- glad things are clearing up a bit for most of you.
A few answers/comments:
- we (both AE and Daniela's patch) are currently based off master or post-Eden code, in our case anyways because there are a few nice improvements (notably the ffmpeg version bump with 10bit video support), but mostly because we had to re-base on the latest code for review and merge. Any bugs in both AE and Daniela's patch are, as she mentioned, most likely from XBMC master, so you would probably see them with a fresh pull of master. In the case of Chris's (ix400's) buffering there's something very wrong if low-bitrate files like DD are buffering, and let's hope the re-install of Win helps. Unless there is a new bug in XBMC AE should not affect buffering/caching, and recent builds by Daniela should show the same problem. If her recent builds (post-Eden) exhibit the same issue but earlier ones don't, let us know as it means a recent bug in master.
- Exclusive mode is absolutely necessary for HD bitstreaming. Loekf - glad you are good now. I've come to the conclusion that Wasapi share mode is just not worth supporting, and plan on removing support for it in the next day or two, along with the GUI button. It's just going to cause more user issues like Loekf had. It offers none of the advantages of Exclusive mode nor any of the compatibilty of DirectSound, and with our event-based methods it does not support the preferred pull mode, only push. Short answer - it's out of there and won't be missed
- @TRaSH - glad most things are working. The audio glitch at the end of an mp3 is a known issue mentioned in the post for this release, along with a crash I was getting on DVD menus. You may notice some odd behaviour on crass-fading too. Thx for the log and the report - it's now officially on the to-do list
- another added to the list is support for GUI sounds is not consistent across skins - but that one is a little further down the priority list, so bear with us.
