Having the same issues relating to the playback of 3D MVC content, seems to be playing just the top left hand corner. Plays flawlessly when using MPC-HC/BE as a launched external player but obviously it would be preferential to have DSPlayer playing it back. I've noticed this issue has been mentioned in various places around the internet, though I've yet to find a solution.

[lexiconman]

To (possibly) help troubleshoot, the issue seems to be that DSPlayer isn't engaging Fullscreen Exclusive mode for 3D content. Here are the interactions between screen resolutions:

Desktop/Kodi Resolution: 2160p
2D 1080p content - Desktop res stays 2160p, engages FSE D3D11, scales content to 2160p. Looks great.
3D - Desktop res auto switches to 1080p FP, plays D3D11 windowed mode, regardless of setting configuration, scales content to 2160, filling the 1080p screen with just the top left of the movie.

Desktop/Kodi Resolution: 1080p
2D 1080p content - Desktop switches to 2160p, D3D11 windowed mode, movie stays (i.e., doesn't scale) 1080p, and only fills up the top left portion of the screen. Looks like a picture in picture.
3D - Desktop stays 1080p (but activates 3d settings), movie plays in D3D11 windowed, movie isn't scaled so would look fine, but usually causes Kodi to crash after a little while.

I'm on Windows 8.1, GTX 1070 (having downgraded from Windows 10 on Madshi's recommendation).

Yes I'm also driving a 4K 3D enabled panel with a 10 series Nvidia GPU (GTX 1050) HTPC. Downgrading the OS seems like a lot of effort though, and is hardly an ideal solution.

Just discovered that since Windows 8 it's possible to mount as a drive an ISO file. MPC-HC plays back ISO files with no problem. Kodi DSPlayer doesn't. Is there a simple way to achieve this?

Edit: added ISO to the file types and the files are played back but with inconsistent behaviour. Is there a "right" way to achieve this?

More info regarding the above. Madshi seems to agree with my assessment (it's a Kodi bug). Hope this helps.

Hello guys,

I do not know wether this belongs in this thread or if it is not related to the DSplayer version of Kodi, so excuse myself if I ask. I did a clean installation from anew one day when the library would not update and since then I can not get the audio and subtitle settings while playback to apply to all media through the 'set default for all media' option. It simply does not save. I have set the preferred audio and subtitle language in the player/language settings. I remember having this problem once, earlier but I forgot how I fixed it >.<

As a second query I would like to learn wether it is possible to set audio and subtitle settings individually for shows. I would apply that to different anime with preferred dubs.

I am having an issue with some of my MKV files with DSPlayer v17.4 32-bit on my Windows 7 64-bit machine. The MKV files play fine with VideoPlayer, but it seems like LAVsplitter is failing with DSPlayer.

This issue is recent with only a few of my MKV files. Other MKV files work without issues. Below are a pastebin of both my Kodi.log and a media info on the MKV file in question. I would appreciate any ideas on how to resolve the problem.

[lexiconman]

Anyone with a keen eye mind giving me some tips (admittedly I'm not a coder, hardly).

Here's my setup (or what I hope to become my setup):

1) DSplayer for default player.

2) Videoplayer to play all .mp4, .mov, .mpeg, and anything that reads PRESHOW in the filename --this is so that my CinemaVision can play my preshow without the awful HDMI sync issues that comes along with my beautiful JVC projector

3) MPC-HC to play all my 3D.mkvs. and all mkvs marked UHD.HDR (these were crashing my DSPlayer)

My code is below. Anyone see any reason why it's not working? With my current code all .mkvs open up in DSPlayer and mp4/movs,etc open up in VideoPlayer. If I take "<rule filetypes="mkv" player="DSPlayer" />" out, then everything opens up in VideoPlayer. So, doesn't seem like my filename rules are working, but I can't seem to figure out what I've done wrong.

Any help?

After doing some more research, I've modified the files as follows. Result is now DSplayer plays for everything. N either VideoPlayer or MPC ever get automatically called.

<rule filetypes="mp4|mov|mpeg" player="VideoPlayer" />

[lexiconman]

Problem solved. Just kept trying different configurations. Here's the code that works for my situation, should anyone else need something similar.

Code:

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>

</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mkv" player="DSPlayer">
    <rule filename=".*PRESHOW.*" player="VideoPlayer" />
    <rule filename=".*UHD.HDR.*" player="MPC-HC" />
    <rule filename=".*3D.MVC.*" player="MPC-HC" />
    </rule>
<rule filetypes="mp4|mov|mpeg" player="VideoPlayer" />
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

Take away points for me were (from the wiki) start with the most general rule (e.g., Dsplayer play all mkv) and then use a tab for all the "carveout" or "exclusions" to that general rule you want to make. And then close that rule.

I stop to use DSplayer, good job for this work.
The last nightly of Kodi give me what I need for quality.

The last nightly of Kodi give me what I need for quality.

What has changed?
Did they add anything like NGU or remove artifacts?

[mbze430]

I just did a upgrade from 17.3 to 17.4 Changed nothing, and now everytime I start a movie KODI just crashes out.

I don't even know where to begin to troubleshoot

[Rockeily]

hei hello， the DSplayer's father , nice to meet you , can you give me your eamil address?,i have questions to ask ,maybe I want to cooperate with you on your DSplayer
您好，听说您是个中国人，我这边有点问题想请您帮忙，也有想要跟您合作的想法，如果可以，请您回复我一个email，谢谢：[email protected]

To (possibly) help troubleshoot, the issue seems to be that DSPlayer isn't engaging Fullscreen Exclusive mode for 3D content. Here are the interactions between screen resolutions:

Desktop/Kodi Resolution: 2160p
2D 1080p content - Desktop res stays 2160p, engages FSE D3D11, scales content to 2160p. Looks great.
3D - Desktop res auto switches to 1080p FP, plays D3D11 windowed mode, regardless of setting configuration, scales content to 2160, filling the 1080p screen with just the top left of the movie.

Desktop/Kodi Resolution: 1080p
2D 1080p content - Desktop switches to 2160p, D3D11 windowed mode, movie stays (i.e., doesn't scale) 1080p, and only fills up the top left portion of the screen. Looks like a picture in picture.
3D - Desktop stays 1080p (but activates 3d settings), movie plays in D3D11 windowed, movie isn't scaled so would look fine, but usually causes Kodi to crash after a little while.

I'm on Windows 8.1, GTX 1070 (having downgraded from Windows 10 on Madshi's recommendation).

More info regarding the above. Madshi seems to agree with my assessment (it's a Kodi bug). Hope this helps.

Yes it's definitively a DSPlayer/KODI bug. I had a quick look at the source code and found a workaround .

Code:

         g_Windowing.UpdateResolutions();
         if (g_advancedSettings.m_fullScreen)  
         {

The patch works for me if I disable Settings/System/Use fullscreen window. As mentioned above this is only a workaround. For a clean fix more adjustments have to be made.
