That is the original thread, and older than this one. Tiben has done further work on DSPlayer since that thread was closed so it's not impossible for work to pick up again in the future.

Yah - but only for ten months or so... also... I have to admit that the information around DSPlayer is hardly helping me here Wink
The repo was last updated about 5 months ago...

However - what exactly is the reason for using a DirectShow-Codec anyhow? As I can literally can't see a difference (may be on my part, I'll take that) between watching something within XBMC and with a DS-based player....
Could someone elaborate the reasons why one should use the DSPlayer in favor of the current implementation in Eden?
I asked this a few times but never got an answer...

If it has any benefits, developement might indeed be picked up... I just read the first two lines of the post I linked to which implied that the xbmc-player ultimately should perform everything DSPlayer does.

A guy known as Eduard_K from unofficial Russian XBMC forum released a patch for 0wing's XBMC DSplayer code. Main improvements:
- More reliable graph building.
- Ability to enable DSPlayer via GUI.
- Ability to use default system DirectShow merits.
- BluRay titles support (only with AVSplitter installed as a system default DS splitter).

Code patch: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24356082/0001.patch

If somebody does not beat me to it, later I'll post a binary exe installer.

@ alexrose1uk
Have you ever encounter the strange behavior I described couple of posts above?

@ HenryFord
For me that was the only solution I found that would play flawlessly everything with Intel HD.

Please clarify what you mean. Obviously, this is re-worked code from 0wing's git repo.


RE: DSPlayer (DirectShow Player for XBMC) Eden build available - HeresJohnny - 2012-05-16

I meant, does it patch Eden, post-Eden or pre-Eden?

@Roman_V_M: Thanks, but for me, my DSPlayer section in settings looks the same with your installer. Did you test it ?

As I understood it, it patches the latest DSPlayer version/source available?

Yes, exactly. The patch should be applied to https://github.com/0wing/xbmc.

Guys,

I heard back from Tiben, he's gone into commercial development, and is therefore unable to continue contributing to DSPlayer. So unless some talented person really feels like digging into the source code, it appears that addition any further significant new features or bug fixes to DSPlayer are truly dead. Too bad, but a big thanks and congrats to Tiben for his hard work and best wishes for his continued success!

Cheers
The REAL Joe
