one user (eltopo, page 79) shows that xbmc dsplayer (lav decoder) is working with dvbviewer recording service. does anyone knows if dsplayer is also working with mediaportal tv server (with lav decoder, not the "workaround" with internal dvdplayer)? or is dvbviewer recording service the only one that is working with dsplayer? thanks in advance!

I don't think the backend is relevant at this point. Did you make the changes to the according xml files?

thanks for your answer eltopo. i can test this with mediaportal tv server soonest at the weekend. i will report...
i have two questions:

are you satisfied with your livetv via dsplayer (stability, switching time, timeshift) or are there restrictions?

below you find the full article from dsplayer wiki. maybe it has to do with the "http streams". but as far as i know other tv backends use rtsp, maybe thats the reason?



from dsplayer wiki:

Known issues/limitations:
- DSplayer has limited network stream support (including streams from PVR TV-backends). This is not exactly its issue, but rather a DirectShow limitation - there is no universal DS source filter which can support various network media streaming formats. As a workaround, you can add the following strings into the <rules> section of your playercorefactory.xml file:
PHP Code:
<!-- DSPlayer rules: set network streams to DVDPlayer -->
<rule name="streams" protocols="daap|rtv|rtsp|rtmp|http|https|rtmpe|rtsp|mms|rtp|pvr" player="DVDPlayer" />
to play network streams with XBMC's default DVDplayer.
Note: you can use DSplayer for http streams via FileSource (URL) {E436EBB6-524F-11CE-9F53-0020AF0BA770} source filter + AVsplitter as a splitter filter. If you have set-up this configuration, you can remove http|https protocols from the rule above.
- DSplayer does not support ass/ssa subtitles with complex effects (shadows, karaoke etc.), though it can display those subs with simple formatting (fonts, colors, position etc.).

Hi Ed,

can you post the DSPlayer config you use for setting up DSPlayer for HTTP streams using file source?

Also, I tried your config a couple pages back on my setup, but i have NPVR backend. It didn't work well for me, caused XBMC to hang. Do you know if anyone has got this working successfully for NPVR backend?
