restore the standard mplayer.dll as a test becase this appears to be completely unrelated. until you actually play a video, mplayer isnt even in memory. this looks like samba problems. (smbc_read error 9)


- drd21 - 2007-01-12

just used the latest binary. impressive progress with x264 encoded files. as someone mentioned only with files aac audio there are still dropped frames with fullscreen moving scenes.

Some rmvb can't play.
error code:
Playlist Player: skipping unplayable item
But if you choice play as mplayer the same rmvb can play correctly.

Another problem, new mplayer.dll can't adjust left and right track.

I assume you mean play using, and then this isn't a mplayer.dll problem as the dll doesn't make any changed to player selection.

> Another problem, new mplayer.dll can't adjust left and right track.
what do you mean by that?


Hack_kid:
Your log wasn't a debug log, nor did it play using mplayer, but was using paplayer. has nothing todo with mplayer.dll


Everybody please check results with original mplayer.dll before even considering reporting in this thread.

Hello all and congratulations for an *AWESOME* product! Have been using xbmc for 3 years more and the combo xbox+xbmc must be the best buy I've made in the last 15 years Smile It also amazes that you never stop squeezing more out of the (outdated by today's standards) hardware. THANK YOU (from the bottom of my heart la-la-la Smile ).

Onwards to the subject. Using this modified build (dated January 3rd iirc):
1) AAC sound in Matroska now plays fine. With the "normal" build no sound was detected at all
2) 512x384 Nero Digital clips, using the standard definition AVC profile and encoded with CABAC, 2-pass and AAC 2.0 audio, play without even a hitch! (NOTE: I convert the .mp4 ND files to matroska, test above is in .mkv format)
3) AutoMKV files in 704x3xx and higher resolutions have major stutters at some points. Sound is in AC3 or AAC format. x264 command line to produce these clips:
Code:
"E:\AutoMKV\exe\encoder\x264.exe"  --pass 1 --bitrate 478 --stats "F:\finished\temp\.stats" --ref 0 --no-b-adapt --progress --keyint 250 --bframes 3 --qpmin 10 --qpmax 51 --no-psnr --trellis 1 --ref 3 --filter -2,-1 --direct auto --vbv-maxrate 25000 --me umh --no-ssim --merange 12 --weightb --b-pyramid --analyse  p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8,p4x4 --8x8dct --threads 3  --output NUL "F:\finished\temp\movie.avs"
"E:\AutoMKV\exe\encoder\x264.exe"  --pass 2 --bitrate 478 --stats "F:\finished\temp\.stats" --progress --keyint 250 --bframes 3 --qpmin 10 --qpmax 51 --no-psnr --trellis 1 --ref 3 --filter -2,-1 --direct auto --vbv-maxrate 25000 --me umh --no-ssim --merange 12 --weightb --b-pyramid --analyse  p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8,p4x4 --8x8dct --threads 3  --output "F:\finished\temp\movie.mp4" "F:\finished\temp\movie.avs"
Sharktooth x264 profile used: HQ-Slower.xml

4) Disabling the in-loop deblocking, by tweaking <XBMC>/System/Players/.../mplayer.conf file seemed to improve playback on those SDTV clips (ie watchable playback, with minor skips at time).

Keep up the good work lads Smile

Quote:3) AutoMKV files in 704x3xx and higher resolutions have major stutters at some points. Sound is in AC3 or AAC format. x264 command line to produce these clips:
Actually problem appears in 704x528 for certain, possibly in 704x480 clips as well. Have not tested 704x3xx


- elupus - 2007-01-15

a tip for those video's with minor skips. just disable framedrop, leads to a minor desync instead of the skip. (will not work on files which continously drop frames thou)


- maleas - 2007-01-16

Some additional tests:
* AutoMKV produced mp4, muxed into matroska
* Sound AC3
* Video produced from x264, using HQ-Slower.xml, 2-pass, CABAC enabled.
* mplayer in-loop deblocking disabled
* first experimental mplayer.dll version was used
* Resolution was 720x304

Excellent playback, no skips. Minor blockiness around edges at times, mostly after scene-changes. Bottomline: I'm *utterly* happy that I can play this stuff Smile Seems to me that SDTV H.264 with CABAC etc will soon be plausible, even with in-loop deblocking enabled!

mironicus Wrote:I found another bug:

I have some AVIs with external subtitle-files.

Like

Movie.avi
Movie.idx
Movie.sub

The subs are not displayed with the new mplayer-build.

This bug is fixed with the build from 17th. Smile

Wow, this made my .mkv files pick up and speed a bit. There was a less lag using this, though there was still some lag none the less.. Thanks for this

Impressive work you're doing here. I just wanted to let you know that TTA playback doesn't seem to be working though. I'm accessing the tta/cue files over xbmsp and have tried ape/cue file to make sure it wasn't some kind of network issue. It seems to be unable to figure out what to play the file with?

Here's a debug log if it can be of any help. I've trimmed out the repeated fails on the cue file to keep it small.

Code:
14:01:48 M: 40476672   DEBUG: CApplication::OnKey: 168 pressed, action is 2
14:01:48 M: 40476672   DEBUG: CApplication::OnKey: 11 pressed, action is 7

14:01:52 M: 40468480   DEBUG: CApplication::OnKey: 216 pressed, action is 9

The file does exist so I don't understand the error but maybe you will. I'm using the latest Jan 17th build btw.

Latest experimental mplayer has a problem with MPG2 streamed over http: the FreeMem slowly (around five minutes) decreases from 19 MB to 65536 and then, XBMC hangs.

Previous versions worked flawlessly with the same MPG2 stream.

As I play a rmvb file.
If play directly,it can't work.
The logging is:
Code:
20:55:05 M: 27336704   ERROR: CMPlayer::OpenFile : Access violation at 0x01139199: Reading location 0x00000000
20:55:05 M: 36118528   ERROR: Playlist Player: skipping unplayable item: 0, path [F:\Movies\ABCD.rmvb]
20:55:09 M: 27328512   ERROR: CMPlayer::OpenFile : Access violation at 0x01bf9199: Reading location 0x00000000

But if I play the same movie with play with,it works.
The loggins is
Code:
20:55:13 M: 26841088   ERROR: Unable to open dll Q:\system\players\mplayer\codecs\drvc.so
20:55:13 M: 26841088   ERROR: LoadLibrary('drvc.so') failed
20:55:13 M: 26841088   ERROR: LoadLibrary('drv4.so.6.0') failed
BTW,I have put these two files in codecs directory.
The same logging appears in the older mplayer.dll verision.

Another problem means that if I want to adjust sound track,like left 、right or stereo,it only play the movie with left sound track.

Hey Elupus,

something I am still missing is a solution to this issue:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=23959

It works perfectly on my PC with latest mplayer (default settings, nothing tweaked) but won't with my beloved XBOX. Sure I can just put all the files that should be played in a row in a playlist and voilá but what if I don't know all the filenames of a streaming source in advance?

Would be glad of receiving a short note if that is of any interest for development...

Thanks in advance Smile

hibaby:
that makes little sence, it's only that rmvb file that exhibits that problem and only with the new mplayer.dll? if so could you provide me a sample?

A600:
is it only mpeg files or is it any files streamed over http? a log file would help too.
