Ok guys, I can say pretty much for sure, that their was a person really looking to help in this project but with the attitudes floating around here (btw I saw the same thing when the fight with even suggesting a port in the first place started) he doesn't want to work with a group that is sort of closed off avenues to other options. BTW this person knows his shit, and has written many decoders for projects I can't mention.
With alpha or i would call this pre-alpha you should still be looking at alternatives, while their is a clear path with dvd player now, you might come to a point where things cant be put into dvd player or that other more mature players can handle and have had the man hours to figure it out. I personally use ffmpeg to encode alot and have seen that as a player its not the best on the market but with that said at least dvd player is based upon this which is good.
I think this constant bickering is useless from a developer and user stand point, and let me say it again I think everyone here appreciates the work being done, but I think their are also a lot of very smart people on this form that can some times look outside of the box and look in and see that maybe potentially using something like dvdplayer will lead to a dead end or require a lot more work in the future than it would of been to look at something else (lots of optimizations, filters, post processing, the way codecs and decoded etc)
Yes I have been around a long time watching mostly from the outside but this one struck something personal and I know for sure someone that has the skills to take things to the next level doesn't want to work with a team strikes out like that. How ever I also want to state being a developer I do realize that getting asked the same thing over and over can be annoying but some times you need to stop and think, why is this question being asked over and over and is it a better choice.
Ill stop this rant, but I think everyone needs to lighten up a bit, enjoy the work being done and also work with other potential people that would be willing to work with a team.

or it could be the telesales guy.
- very well documented and structured (coool!) and does not interference with official xbmx development (hopefully). Of course nothing official just hacky....and need to fit my working schedule...
