Maconi Wrote:How do I run XBMC in debug mode so that I can post a proper log? I would just post the normal running log but I don't really see anything in it that would help (no errors).

My HTPC is an Intel HD Graphics system (i3 Processor) with Windows 7 using the DSPlayer version of XBMC and there are a few movies in my library that it refuses to play (the screen goes black, it says Loading, and then it takes me back to the movie selection screen). It hangs/crashes sometimes but not every time. I'm using the MPC standalone filters as well as DXVA EVR as well.

I tried installing Shark 007 codec pack and Windows Media Player also refused to play those movies. It either said it was missing a codec, or it would play the movie stuck in pause mode (as in I could click the slider bar to fast-forward to a random part of the movie and see the picture change, but it would remained paused and wouldn't play normally).

However, if I use the MPC Player or VLC Player those movies play perfectly fine.

Every other movie on my HTPC plays perfectly fine with DXVA and what not enabled except for those few exceptions.

My main PC has a Radeon HD 5870 with Windows 7 and it plays those movies just fine using the Shark 007 codec pack or anything else.

I'm inclined to believe it is an Intel problem but I'm not sure if it has to do with DXVA (hardware acceleration) or not since I forced DXVA in the MPC Player and the movies still played just fine (although I'm sure there is a difference from using DXVA in XBMC).

Your problem is that you don't even have directshow playback working on your machine (and the fact that MPC and VLC Player play your files means nothing, they use their own built in filters by default, not necessarily directshow filters installed system wide), plus you installed a codec pack, which is a MAJOR newbie no-no, and usually fubar's a system to the point where you'll need to reinstall the OS, and finally, you don't know enough about XBMC to know how to post a debug log... That's definitely not a prerequisite for posting useful questions and feedback on this thread.

Try reading the basic XBMC forums to learn more first, and post your question on the DSPlayer *user's* thread not the dev thread.

You could try do the opposite, putting microsoft codec to default codec, and before it, the elecard one, like that :

Code:

<video>
<video filter="elecard" videocodec="!h264" />
<video filter="microsoft" />
</video>

It will load elecard only for non h264 material, and microsoft for the other.

Thanks, Wire

blinkseb Wrote:Currently, there's none. Won't be very clever to do such an app right now, because the file format are subject to change. But I plan to do a little app when everything would be finalized.
