I did a build from this commit https://github.com/tiben20/xbmc/commit/da86f0f303e5981e3f42b0ac53f6054cc4d865b1
The directshow implementation has no settings possible yet. Its mostly to let users trying it.
Its locked on the video codec. If you had crash with dsplayer before it won't be the same thing with that way. Instead of crashing its only going to use dvdplayer codec.
to get it working
1:you need ffdshow installed or mpcvideo codec registered.
They are tryed in that order ffdshow dxva, ffdshow and at last mpcvideocodec

for the audio codec it is working but it is still disabled to public unless you test it from visual studio. It is currently worked out by me with the testing of liquidskin76
It's only for testing i won't give many explanation on how to get it working.(I will when the settings code are added to xbmc)

alexrose1uk Wrote:Awesome stuff Tiben, I'll definately give this a try at the weekend. Got some files that don't play nicely with DVDPlayer standard, and others that crash DSPlayer so I should be able to test it from both sides

I'm presuming as it uses the DVDplayer splitter and renderer, rather than EVR, we won't be able to use stuff like Bicubic filtering, but would be able to use FFDShow's filters; and right now it uses XBMC's WASAPI/Audioengine so all elements of the gui should work as per normal XBMC (not a bad thing as I use files with multiple language audio tracks, and as I don't have a card that streams HD right now, decoding or raw DD/DTS/DD+ passthrough is fine for me) Sorry if that sounds quite nooby!

The only set of files I can see any issues are, are one set I have where the subtitles show massively on XBMC, but play fine in everything else including DSPlayer...there's always something lol

tiben20 Wrote:Currently yeah it is using the evr for rendering the video and the bicubic filter from dsplayer. The evr is completely different from dsplayer because i didn't wanted to duplicate the code for current renderer so im using a callback similar to the one used by dxva2. Basically the evr(enhanced video renderer) have the capability to render to direct3d surface. I also have in the code a way to do it without the evr but the other way can't use dxva.
for the subtitle ffdshow can do it if xbmc doesn't

Darth B Wrote:I've just been catching up on the thread. Sad and disappointed to hear DSPlayer is longer in development. I just started using XBMC about 3 weeks ago. I started with Dhrama, but it didn't support HD bit streaming. Found the DSPlayer variant, installed it and have been using it ever since. Real nice work blinkseb and tiben.

Tiben I tried the test build - from the executable file - and it didn't work very well. No HD audio bitstreaming. It only used the FFDShow DXVA video decoder. Real slow and choppy. I really like the idea of being able specify which codecs to use. I've always had good luck with MPC-HC standalone filters for video and FFDShow for audio.

Keep up the good work.
