Hello guys,

I am having issue with ISO playback. I know it is not supported with DSPlayer, my concern is that the DVDplayer won't start instead of DSPlayer.
kodi.log
mkv files play fine.

I am using KodiSetup-jarvis.16.1.dsplayer-final-05.02.2016.08.05.dx11.exe
madvr latest
dsplayer internal filters
reclock

My playercorefactory.xml is:

Code:

<playercorefactory>
    <rules action="prepend">
        <rule filetypes="iso|bdmv|mpls" protocols="daap|rtv|rtmp|http|https|rtmpe|mms|rtp" dvd="true" dvdimage="true" dvdfile="true" player="DVDPlayer" />
    </rules>
</playercorefactory>

Did you try:

<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="iso|bdmv|mpls" player="DVDPlayer">
<rule protocols="http|https|daap|rtv|rtsp|rtmp|rtmpe|rtsp|mms|rtp|pvr" player="DVDPlayer"/>
</rule>
</rules>

Thank you sir, it is working this way.
Interesting thing is, I added the filetypes from the Kodi DSPlayer GUI.

I just saw this thread about DSPlayer for the first time. As I use Windows I thought about trying out, but does it make sense (with regard to Kodi Krypton):

There wont be further development of DSPlayer in the future? Will there be an alternative?

I wouldn't say won't. The issue is the last developer the project had has left and no one has stepped up to continue his work. A major overhaul is needed as Kodi v17 has a completely new Video player which will be an effort to integrate DirectShow support into. If another developer steps up to the plate then we'll be good to go.

Yes there is an alternate solution stick with plain old Kodi or you can try to integrate a 3rd party external player that supports Madvr (MPC-HC) with Kodi

There probably won't be a build for Krypton. So users are stuck with Jarvis. Jarvis should work for at least a couple of years, while remaining compatible with video-addons and other Kodi features.

MPC-HC is very stable and can be used as an external player with v17. But you really need to prioritize video quality to want to use a desktop media player as a primary player. I would do it if DSPlayer ceased to exist because I mostly care about watching videos, not the wrapper used to play the video. But DSPlayer is a much better experience.

Emby Theater is another frontend with native madVR support.

Thanks guys @Warner306 @Talguy for your reply. Too bad that this project seems to die out. I was looking for some improvements regarding Kodi+Windows, but for me Jarvis is only a temporary transit, Im focused on Krypton (because of inputstream.*). In regard to that, is it worth to employ mentally with DSPlayer/madVDR anymore?

What is inputstream?

What is inputstream?

Im not particularly familiar with Websites out of germany, but german services of skygo, amazon prime, netflix... itensify usage of DRM-protection/Google Widevine (https://bitmovin.com/mpeg-dash-vs-apple-...adobe-hds/). Kodi Krypton, esp. mapfau develops a solution for these problems, called inputstream.mpd/inputstream.smoothstream (https://github.com/mapfau).

Hi there

I hope someone can help as i have the same bug with all my installation of DS Player :
If i start a video with volume set to 0 (muted) it will start at 100% volume instead. This is the case witrh all videos, if i set the volume to anything different than mute it's working fine.
I did not had this issue with Kodi before installing DS Player.

Anyone have an idea or can try to see if they get the same issue ?

Since upgrading to the latest version a month or so ago, I've been having frequent crashes upon starting playback. I'm now on Jarvis 16.1 RC2 (latest version as of 3/28) and am still having the problem.

Log is here: http://xbmclogs.com/pgvpg7wmp

Kodi most often crashes when I've stopped playback and attempt to start playback again - on the same video file or a different one. Sometimes it happens the first time I start playback after opening Kodi, but not usually.

My setup:
Windows 8.1
Kodi Jarvis 16.1 RC2 + dsplayer * (03/28/2016)
madVR v0.90.13
fullscreen exclusive mode enabled in madVR settings
Kodi set to Adjust display refresh rate upon playback start/stop
madVR display modes: 1080p23, 1080p24, 1080p59, 1080p60

Use only one method to adjust display rate. If you use Kodi, blank madvr display modes. If you want to use madvr display modes changing, disable Kodi option.

I personnally let Kodi do it.

Unfortunately, after trying this, I'm still getting very frequent crashes. The crashes occur upon starting playback and upon exiting Kodi (using the exit menu). It's not consistent - it probably crashes about 20-25% of the time that I start playback or quit the program.

Everything about my setup above is still the same except that I'm now on Kodi Jarvis 16.1 + dsplayer * (04/26/2016) .

Well, there are Android remotes for MPC-HC.

What would be great is if Kore had modular structure like Kodi does and you could add remotes to it, like MPC-HC/foobar2000/VLC remotes. It would be wonderful indeed.

I have some random crashes when starting DSPlayer (both Kodi and madVR crash at the same time). Without a developer, I have learned to live with these crashes. As you said, they are random -- probably not 20% of the time, though. But the player does crash.

Mine just exits back to Kodi, more often if I interact with it in the first few seconds of playback (tipically to skip the titles in a TV Series or download subtitles for the video). But this doesn't happen always. Just sometimes. And randomly (I've tried pretty much everything by now to find a pattern). The video starts just fine, in case of interactions is pretty obvious, as I have the time for it, while some other time it exits after having displayed a couple of frames (but I see them).

This using external filters (not the built in ones... the only thing I haven't tried because... well, I don't know... I kinda don't like it for whatever reason... maybe I should try, doubt it'd make a difference).

The thought of Krypton fast approaching and DSPlayer being "left behind" is so saddening

[vicmanpergar]

Just be optimistic boys, at least we have Jarvis. And u know the project has been left and picked up for someone several times as well. Why couldn't it happen again?

[stoolzo]

the next version of KODI is vastly different though, its not like someone is going to migrate this project onto that, they will likely have to start from scratch so this is likely the last dev you'll see on this thread apart from tweaks of this version.

I dont think i'll need to move from this until KODI is able to hardware accelerate MVC 3D, if that actually ever happens.

In general , reference to performance Video , I make you a question a bit 'special (and not for all, alas)
madVR, Kodi, Kodi DSPlayer and MPC-HC , It is best handled by drivers Nvidia and / or ATI / AMD ?
