Hi Tiben,
Again thanks for your hard work. I've had a play around with the new player now as I promised via PM and I've noticed a few things with this build. This is compared against DSPlayer as thats the old player we want to supersede
1. CPU Usage is very high.
I'm getting ~55-90% usage depending on settings and ffdshow settings when I was using it, I don't think DXVA is being utilised. This persisted through me registering MPCVideoDec standalone and then using FFDShow to see if it made any difference. When I removed both, and DSCodec stopped reporting Directshow in use, CPU dropped to 35% on the same 1080p file.
It was pulling high usage on anything from DVD res .h264 mkv all the way up to BDRips with ~25MBps video, so something seems a little amiss right now.
2. Subtitles aren't working 100%.
Seems it's not reading things like fonts from the MKV; as on my DSPlayer build, both DVDPlayer and DSPlayer were correctly showing the coloured and altered font on an opening video I tested, whilst DSCodec's current build shows them in big, uncoloured arial, and doesn't look quite right either.
3. HTTP Server is broken in this build.
I use the android remote to control my HTPC. I discovered as soon as I activated the HTTP server on the DSCodec build it crashed with a fatal error.
Its definately looking better than the last build though as I wasn't noticing the noticeable video stuttering from the first build. I could have accepted higher CPU usage for now if I'd needed to, but the other bits means I've gone back to DSPlayer's last build at the moment.
Let me know if you need any logs, or I can try getting graphstudio working again later.
