First off, I just wanted to thank tiben and blinkseb and anyone else who has contributed to this version of xbmc. DSPlayer is an amazing project and has made my little Acer Aspire Revo into a bitchin'-awesome HTPC! I really really appreciate all of the work that you guys do!

However, as you probably expected, I have a slight issue that I'm hoping someone can help with. Up until yesterday, everything worked great aside from subtitles on DXVA-accelerated media. I was trying the fix of adding VSFilter+CoreAVC to the mix when suddenly MKVs with embedded subtitles stopped working, even after i reverted the changes.

Long story short, I've uninstalled CCCP, CoreAVC, and XBMC/DSPlayer and reinstalled them from scratch (xbmc version r28980), but these MKVs still freeze. Upon further investigation, it seems to only happen with MKVs in which SSA/ASS subtitles are embedded. If I extract the subs and recompile the MKV without internal subtitles, it plays fine. It also plays fine under DVDPlayer, just not DSPlayer.

Any idea what the issue could be? I'll post a relevant log below:

Google searches revealed this issue cropping up on an old xbmc version with a solution to replace libass with a modified one and/or delete MSVC*90.dll. I tried these, even though they're probably for DVDPlayer, and had no luck. I've tried everything I can think of, and would appreciate any ideas thrown my way.

Thanks, and again, I really love the work you guys are doing!

Quote:It's totally random (well, seems that way)....if I start a film, and have high cpu, I stop-start-stop-start untill cpu is normal. I think you might be right - I'm 90% sure this is a trunk issue, however, dvdplayer always operates with low CPU....so, it MIGHT be a dsplayer problem. Also, dsplayer can take upto 10-50 seconds to start the movie - dvdplayer starts playback in about 1 second.

For the loading time, there aren't much things we can do, it's all because of filters loading which can take a lot of time. DVDPlayer hasn't that problem. And if you look at it, mpc has the same issue. But when everything will be working fine, there's problably some optimisations to do

I first thought dsplayer+mpc video dec was the best, very sharp and it doeslook good but look at the ladies skirt... it's like a poor anti-aliasing. Could just be the screenshot (depending on the frame taken).

I've installed XBMC on my HTPC and I've been having issues with HD content. CPU load is sitting at 80-100% and I have slight hiccups every now and then.

I used to run Mediaportal before this and I haven't had any trouble with it.

I decided to download de DSPlayer and hope this would solve my problem. After setting it as my default player however, every file I play ends up as one big bucket of glitching, tearing and other nasty stuff.

I'm running the following setup:
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 5050e
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA780GPM-DS2H 780G chipset with HD3200 onboard
RAM: 2gb DDR2
OS: Windows XP pro

I also have CoreAVC installed.

I was wondering if anybody knows what I'm doing wrong and how I can solve this.

Thanks in advance.

blinkseb Wrote:New build available! Changelog & link here, http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=70436, but for a summary, better subtitle implementation

zilexa Wrote:WOW I was just an hour too early doing my clean install... hope everything will be fine when installing the new rev over the old.
still have this q:
I suppose I can leave postprocessing options disabled in ffdshow hardware acceleration tab? Since subtitles are now handled via dsplayer? How about the Bluray & DVD subtitles tab, its enabled by default.
