Good afternoon. Tell me please how to enable the use of DSCodec? Now download the latest build from this page and when you play in the statistics shows that used ff-dxva2.

You need to have either ffdshow or MPCVideoDec registered on your system - see the first post.

ffdshow and MPCVideoDec already registered but XBMC use internal ffmpeg decoders.

If that is the case then a debug log should be provided.

hey lordmerlin,
if you take xbmc out of full screen into a window, do you see the ffdshow tray icons? you might need to unregister mpc vid codec.
also, maybe post a debug log and screen shot of the player stats (press O).
cheers

Hi tiben, i am a newbie of XBMC that i find very interesting and look nice as Front edn. The problem is that with some video the player integrated with XBMC cause many artifacts and graphic glitches, especially with mpg (such as video converted for PS3) or some mkv. So i have installed your last build, but it doesn't work for me. The video start normally with ffdshow activated in the tray, but there isn't any audio and on the video appears the warning that is impossible to load the render audio. All the video had audio AC3 or DTS 5.1. Can you give me some help?
Thanks and good work

Hey Benjopa,
There's a possible bug(s) in the audio renderer, left over from when tiben was doing test work on directshow audio (ffdshow audio). That will come in the future, however for now tiben needs to revert some changes he made in the audio renderer. That should then return xbmc audio back it's normal behaviour.
Having said that, it would be good to post a debug log.
Cheers

Just waiting for the audio revert before trying a new build. It's just the subbing issues, and whether network controls work that prevent me switching over once this has been done, now the CPU usage and stuttery playback are resolved.

hi everybody
does the audio analog output compares to dts-hd in dts-hd tracks?Is it bitstreaming?
thanks

Analogue audio I believe decodes within xbmc and sends as LPCM to the receiver. Bitstreaming is achieved using passthrough and HDMI.
At this stage neither xbmc natively, nor this branch is able to bitstream the HD Audio Codecs.

I understand that ... what i was trying to ask is if the audio quality is the same either way
thanks
