totalhysteria Wrote:Hi,

Been avidly testing all the releases, with no problems. Until 29028. After a full clean install, all files playback with about 10-12 fps. Very very jerky. Tried changing from FFD to MPC codec, but it makes no difference to the jerykness. Previous releases seem to have been fine on my system. I went through the debug log, but couldnt see anything obvious.

Also, have tried changing from EVR to VMR, - with VMR sound in very out of sysnc, but fps are slightly improved - but not by much.

I think im quite techy as I work in IT, so I hope i haven't missed something obvious.

System is Win 7 x64 / intel 4500mhd graphics.

A silly question relating to this, I should say that my first attemp with 29028 was over an existing install, and when it didn't work i exported the db and went for a clean install. Could this cause this sort of problem, or are we looking at something relating to to the built in Intel GFX?

There you go Tiben\Seb - looks like you have a lot of people that like your work! Nod

Yes, indeed. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine having such an excellent media center application. Many thanks for your hard work and PATIENCE with some of us . :p

Tiben\Seb,

How are you guys progressing on the last few bugs?

PS - Not sure if you get the Carlsberg comments - basically it means the best - well done guys!

FPS issue was flaged a page or so back....I think Tiben is looking into it.

Subs not on screen when using 2 displays - terranow - 2010-04-07

Blinkseb, great work on subs.. one little bug, the subs are not on screen when using 2 displays, instead they are sort of centered between both screens.. Its like xbmc is calculating a virtual big screen made up of both displays and putting subs on this big screen..

BTW I just upgraded to rev 29028 and I can't seem to get any MKV that has subtitles to play (it just hangs). All my other media works fine but I've narrowed it down to MKV's that have subtitles. Im running under win7 and will provide debug logs but wanted to know if other win7 users have mkvs with subtitles working?

thanks

Bug with Haali from what I found. It was accidently set as default in that version. Try replacing the rule for mkv in XBMC\system\players\dsplayer\dsfilterconfig.xml
Code:
<rule filetypes="mkv">
      <source filter="mkvsource" />
      <splitter filter="mkvsplitter" />
      <video>
        <video dxva="true" filter="ffdvideodxvadec" />
        <video filter="ffdvideodec" />
      </video>
      <audio filter="ffdaudiodec" />
      <!--<extra>
        <extra filter="ac3filter" />
        <extra filter="dcgraphiceq" />
      </extra>-->
    </rule>

I've run into the same problem as Uncertainty, however your fix doesn't seem to work for me, subtitled mkv files still hang XBMC.

Another problem I'm having is getting DSPlayer to use FFDShow DXVA Decoder. I can get it to play a file however it's almost certainly not using GPU acceleration as the framerate is half it should be and the CPU usage is high. I've switched the filter to CoreAVC and it works as the video file plays smoothly, but I'd like to get it working with DXVA.

I've checked with GraphStudio and compared my installed filters/codecs as well as the ones in the DSPlayer folder to those listed in dsfilterconfig.xml and they all seem to be present, but DXVA doesn't want to work for me. Forcing DXVA on in the settings and using DVDPlayer just gives me flickering video which I presume it's because it's incompatible/not designed for it.

Can't help with the subtitles issue, although I originally posted this as a problem (and Seb is currently investigating) the change as described by Lyndon should work. Could you post your mkv rule from the config file.

Neither do you advise which gfx card your using or build number - might be useful to have a read here for future reference as well http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=42708 and post a debug log.

up here, try using mpc video decoder instead of ffdshow. Works for me (mkv with subs). not on my htpc now otherwise I would post my dsfilterconfig.

I'm using the exact same mkv rule that LyndonW posted (I copy and pasted the whole thing). I'm using the same build as Uncertainty - rev 29028. I'm running Windows 7 32bit and am using a Geforce 8800GTS 512mb on 196.21 drivers.

Whole debug log file here: http://pastebin.com/7tYs4w8n

Edit:- Debug log for a different subtitled mkv: http://pastebin.com/kYBF1Abs

I left it "working" for a minute or so on the file before I eventually closed XBMC (otherwise it'd have gone on indefinitely).

BTW I mistaken earlier when I posted that the mkv rule posted by LyndonW resolved my mkv-subtitle issue. It has not and I have the same issue as you do along with the same error log.

I'll wait for an update (just downgraded till then) as I also use ffdshow for my postprocessing to sharpen the image. I'm in no rush and beta is beta....

I am having a problem and wondering if anyone else is noticing it. I have tv series that are converted to x264. It looks like DSPlayer isn't reading the aspect ratio correctly. I am watching an episode right now and it shows an AR of 1.50:1. However if I choose DVDPlayer the AR shows as 1.78:1.

The resolution of the video is 720x480.

Any ideas?

This is not a dsplayer issue but rather ffdshow. Do a google search ffdshow+sar and you will see some threads on it. It occurs when sar is different the par which is rare. Out of my 1000 movies or so I see it afew times....
