There is no information about 'videocodec' syntax on official wiki http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO:_Using_DSPlayer

The syntax is officla xbmc playercorefactory. You can find all supported tags here : http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_use_an_External_Player_for_media_playback (under the playercorefactory method). Some meaningless tags does not work, like player, audio, video, protocols, etc...

'videocodec' directive not work.
I try following code:

Code:
<rule filetypes="ts|mpeg|mpg|m2ts|mts">
      <source filter="mpegsource" />
      <splitter filter="mpegsplitter" />
      <video>
          <video filter="microsoftdtv" videocodec="H264" />
          <video filter="elecardmpeg2" />
      </video>
      <audio filter="ffdaudiodec" />
    </rule>
but always there is elecard decoder, even on H264 ts and m2ts. I try 'h264' and 'H264'.

Hi,

how can I use other Milkdrop presets? I downloaded the presets from here:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=24616

But after I installed them, I still can only see the standard preset packs (Winamp Presets(436) and WA51-presets(265).zip) in the visualisation config dialog of XBMC.

How do I properly include new preset packs?

I have the same problem. It worked with the regular XBMC-install, but after installing dsplayer it crashes when I try to enable the webserver Sad

just enable it on guisettings.xml on a port other than 80. Voila Big Grin

Sorry if it has already been covered. Ever since I installed the directshow XBMC version (31520) I only get a black screen when selecting Milkdrop visualisation. Previously I had the 'regular' XBMC installed and there were no problems. I even uninstalled XBMC completely and started 'fresh' with the directshow XBMC 31520 but it doesn't make a difference. From what I gather there were problems with Milkdrop in previous releases but it is not clear to me if it is suppose to work with the latest 31520 version. If yes, how do I get it to work?

Tiben, Is it possible to get a new build with a recent trunk. The last build I see listed is from 6/30/10 and that trunk had afew issues including milkdrop not functioning.

thanks

Like stated a few times, there won't be new release until Dharma is released. After that, we will switch to a nightly build system. Just be patient, or build your own version (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_compile_XBMC_for_Windows_from_source_code)

liquidskin76 Wrote:Hey guys,

Think you may already be aware of this one however letting you know just in case! Wink

When seeking in vids (h264 mkv's for me), the video plays really fast for about 2 seconds, then pauses for about 2 seconds, then resumes at normal speed.

Is it an easy/quick one for you to fix and commit?

Thanks

[EDIT:] also, when using the new lavfdshowsplitter, mkv chapter seeking won't seek past the first chapter. You can do a small seek past it, however when you try to then skip to chapter 2, it skips back to chapter 1 again. This is working fine mpc-hc.

Thanks

Hey seb,

Just compiled and tested your recent changes. Seeking problem appears to be fixed. Actually, seeking in general is miles better. Wink

Cheers

Great news! Are you still experiencing issues when playing files? (black screen, etc...)

Make sure the option on settings "Extract thumb and video informations" is turned on as dsplayer rely on it for filters selection.

I haven't really seen any problem like that. I'm on a ATI 5xxx card and all my backups are H264 MKV's.

I'm still seeing this with the new lavf dshow splitter (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=156191).

Also, i believe .sup (BD subtitles) are not showing. Would you like some samples? There's one in particular (Lord Of The Rings - The Fellowship Of the Ring) that has fading subtitles. When converted to sup/idx subs, the fade isn't seen and one part of the subtitle isn't converted. If i keep them as .sup and use ffdshow to read them, again, the fade isn't read correctly and the subs appears black. If you can get them working internally that would be cool!

Thanks

Ok, that's nice. But it's (hoptefully) fixed in my latest commit.

I've not tried yet, will do when I got some time

A sample would be nice yep Smile

Seb,

Sorting samples for you now. Will post in a sec.

Just gotta say, it's bloody good to see you guys back on development! Hope you both had a nice break!!

Cheers


- liquidskin76 - 2010-09-03

Hi Seb,

Here's the .sup samples...

http://www.mediafire.com/?ucagguu7ntuu675

There's 2... 'Avatar' and 'Lord Of The Rings - The Fellowship Of The Ring'. Both are forced subs. The first Avatar sub appears around the 11min 8sec mark, and the first Fellowship sub appears around the 7min 30sec mark.

Regarding the first sub that appear for Fellowship, it should read 'The Shire', then about 2 secs later '...60 years later' should fade in. The trunk and Dharma beta 1 only read the 'The Shire' however its position is wrong and it is way to large!

Thanks
