I wrote one in VB6 not that long ago that does exactly that for ZoomPlayer via a GUI that I can easily control with my remote before ZP launches - it lets you select FFDShow, PowerDVD8, PowerDVD9, or NVidia as the dvd decoder.
ZP stores that info in the registry, and that was the biggest challenge since VB6 doesn't have any built-in routines for access to random registry keys (VB.net does), so my app has about 10 lines of code for actually selecting the decoder, and a couple of hundred lines for getting it into the registry
Writing out to a text (xml) file instead of the registry would comparatively be a piece of cake.
I can post the source code if anyone wants it, it would be a good starting point for manipulating the DSPlayer codecs.

VB6, really?
- therealjoeblow - 2010-10-20
VB6. Really. That's all I know, and for basic programming tasks, it's all I need.
Here's the code, c/w compiled .EXE(s, one with borders, one without). Designed to work with a remote, hit up and down arrows till the decoder you want is hilighted, then hit enter to write to registry and exit... Could easily be adapted to write to a text (XML) file instead and maintain the same functionality to select codecs for DSPlayer.
Cheers to Steve McMahon for the registry code - I would never have figured this out on my own (VB.net has builtin support that can do this in 2 or 3 lines).

There. Don't say I never contributed anything :-)
Did I mention my coding skills suck?

HI
Any chance of getting madVR support in DSPlayer anytime soon?
If someone can point me to where I can download the xbmc dsplayer source I'll have a go at adding support for it.

Alright I'll have a look and get back to you

Hi again
I've had a talk with Mad Shi, the developer of MadVR.
Yes MadVR does support rendering to a 3D surface however because of the way MadVR works it needs to create the Direct3D surface itself, its unable to use a Direct3D surface created by media player.
Madshi goes on to explain that MadVR also switches seamlessly between windowed and fullscreen exclusive mode on the fly whenever it makes sense to do so.
MadVR is designed to behave like VMR-7/9 but only supports windowed (compatibility) mode at this time and exposes the following interfaces,
IVideoWindow
IBasicVideo
IBasicVideo2
MadVR at this time does not have anyway to allow the media player to draw a OSD or subtitles but MadShi is working no this.
Anyway given this information, do you think it will still be possible to integrate madVR into DSPlayer? I think that if we can get at least basic integration, just get it working, then we can look at fine tuning it and adding support for features such as subtitles, etc, as they become available.
MadShi is quite happy to support this project if it goes ahead.

That would not be possible if we can't pass a Direct3D surface to the renderer to draw on. Furthermore, if OSD drawing isn't possible, the best way is to use a external player if you want to use madVR.
- cl0ud - 2010-11-03
I would use an external player but I prefer the tight integration that DSPlayer has with XBMC.
Rather than passing a Direct3D surface to madVR, once MadVR is done rendering the scene, if madVR could somehow provide access to its Direct3D surface can you not copy the surface from madVR back onto the surface created by DSPlayer?
OSD and subtiltes is on MadShi's todo list.

@seb
Not sure if you are aware of this one...
When enabling the 'Allow control of XBMC via HTTP' option in Network Settings, XBMC crashes with a Windows 'XBMC has stopped working' error.
Dharma beta 4 is fine (haven't tested latest trunk, however i expect its fine as Dharma beta is ok
). Here's a debug log...http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=UTWX41Nw
I'm on build 34948. Perhaps it was trunk related, and is sorted in a later trunk build and a merge is needed?
Cheers

Weird, it has been fixed a while ago. Can you try to do a full rebuild?
The webserver isn't crashing here with Visual studio 2010, but i'll look at it when i've some time.
- liquidskin76 - 2010-11-03
Ok, just tried a fresh build. I usually compile a new .exe instead of updating anyway, however this time i deleted the build folders as well. I also did a complete uninstall.
Still no luck.
Thanks Seb.
- cl0ud - 2010-11-04
Sorry to continue this topic but can I ask why DSPlayer needs to pass a direct 3d surface to the renderer?
