It is NOT a bug! Read the above line and you'll see :

Code:

00:07:50 T:3372 M:2365435904    INFO: The video filters encountered an error so dsplayer changed the filters currently used.

The video filter refused the connection : we let DirectShow chose the best filter, and it's ffdshow which won the battle, that's all.


There was an exception on the render thread, meaning you can't do anything. I'll investigate, but without XP, it's not really easy. I will try a virtual marchine!

To prevent this from hapenning, use a fake fullscreen window. You'll be able to kill xbmc without being stick in fullscreen!

hsinchu308 Wrote:Hi Seb,

It seems that the font size problem in dsplayer is not completely fixed yet..LOL

Although in r30385 font sizes are the same between dsplayer and dvdplayer for plain text subtitles, they are still much bigger in dsplayer for subtitles in ASS format (in dvdplayer the font sizes are same between those two subtitle formats). Any ideas on where I should look for the font size calculation for the SSA/ASS formats in dsplayer?

zilexa Wrote:OK I have some new info now

1. Arcsoft didn't work because it's a 30-trial! Didn't know that. Stupid! Let's quickly forget about it.

2. Disabling "Vertical Blank Sync" (that's what everyone means when they talk about "Auto Refresh" right?) plays my movies fine using the default DSfilterconfig.xml supplied with rev30385 (stating it should use mpcvideo, but see #3).
But I have always had this option to "always enabled". In rev29443 it was no problem for me. It did not actually work since I had tearing. But the option was enabled.
Perhaps in rev30385 this switch actually works, but since auto refresh doesn't work its giving me problems. In rev29443 the switch didn't had a function so no matter if it was enabled or disabled it couldnt give problems? Just a theory.

3. ALL my movies play with FFDShow video decoder. Since the video filter (MPCvideo) rejects the video stream. I understand why this happened with Arcsoft since the trial period expired. But why is this happening with mpcvideodec?

4. As suggested, I tried mpcvideodec.ax from rev29443. Same result. Video is played by ffdshow because mpcvideodec doesn't work. Weeeeird.

The only other error I have is a popup about recentlyadded.py, a minute or so after starting XBMC. But I suppose everyone has that. Is not dsplayer related.

New debug log (using rev30385 mpcvideodec, disabled Vertical Blank Sync, playing SD video file called ...Bones...avi): http://pastebin.com/nFMZQVi8
Should use mpcvideo but is using ffdshow.
This also happens when playing videos that would normally support DXVA. The ffdshow non-dxva video filter is selected instead of mpc.

dsfilterconfig (didn't change it for these tests):http://pastebin.com/ycRFVzfW

zilexa Wrote:"Adjust display refresh rate to match video" is disabled. That always caused issues.
disabling Vertical blank sync at least lets me play video again.

I'll try to find an old mpcvideodec on the sourceforge svn and test.

zilexa Wrote:I copied the mpcvideodec.ax file from the MPC-Standalone Filters.1.3.1249.0.(x86) zip from sourceforge. Unfortunately same result. The ffdshow video filter is used. Same result for the mpc decoder copied from rev29443 so it's not dependent on the version of this file..

about vertical sync: I believe there was a discussion perhaps in the user thread that it works for people. Its hardware dependant. It seems Vsync works crappy on 780G/ Ati HD 3200 chipsets, has nothing to do with xbmc.
But the option in XBMC enabled didn't effect video playback in a bad way until now. Could be its not dsplayer related.

Using 64bit version of ffdshow revision 3439

FIXED: Had to install the version of ffdshow distributed with xbmc. Must be a bug with the latest ffdshow build

blinkseb Wrote:It's surely related to dsplayer. There're some options to control vsync, not yet on the gui (soon ) and activated by default on this release (were off before). I think it affects people on differents ways.

You can try that :
Create a file named "dsconfig.xml" on your userdata folder, and put that into it

Code:

<dsplayersettings>
  <VMR9VSync>true</VRM9VSync>
  <VMR9VSyncAccurate>true</VMR9VSyncAccurate>
  <VMRFlushGPUBeforeVSync>true</VMRFlushGPUBeforeVSync>
</dsplayersettings>

You can set the options true or false.

zilexa Wrote:Thanks! I tried the following:
Auto refresh: Disabled
Auto sync playback: Disabled
(I have always had these options disabled, also when using older revs).

Vsync: Enabled During Video Playback.

In the dsconfig.xml file I have set all three options to false.
Now the video plays with black screen. No error pops up. I cannot stop the video normally by pressing STOP on remote or via OSD. Have to exit XBMC via taskbar.
http://pastebin.com/ne7pcUb4

Now I try same settings but VMR9Sync set to TRUE, same behaviour:
http://pastebin.com/5rX6ecrb

Now same settings but both VMR9Sync and Flushbefore.. set to TRUE, same behaviour:
http://pastebin.com/43SPF44f

I also tried all three options set to TRUE, no difference.
Hope this helps a little bit.

And ofcourse FFDShow video is always being used... against my wish

zilexa Wrote:Nope, I don't. But I can try again later this morning, closing all apps and stopping all unnecessary processes. Also I should have set Vsync to Always On in Ati Catalyst Control Center just to be sure (now it's set to "Off unless application specifies" or something like that).
