I registered just to thank you, tiben, for working on this. I recently started using XBMC only to find that it wouldn't play half of my videos for unexplained reasons (kept seeing "unable to obtain codec parameters" etc, but all of my files were pretty standard). Once I realized that it wasn't using directshow, I immediately started seeking out a solution. Ultimately I resolved to go with the option that looks to be supported in the future, that being your work with DSCodec. After a bit of a struggle I managed to build my own release from your git source and got everything setup correctly with ffdshow -- I used K-Lite Mega Codec Pack (and the 64-bit pack as well) along with AC3Filter -- and since finally getting everything running I haven't had a single video that wouldn't play. The only thing I'd like to see is CoreAVC, but I wanted to personally thank you for everything you've done so far! Keep up the good work!
