As I won't be using any other players other then what was provided in the install package would it be correct in saying that in my playercorefactory.xml I don't need a players section and just need a rules section as follows.

<playercorefactory>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mkv" filename=".*720.*|.*1080.*" player="dsplayer"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

Or do I also need both an advancedsetting.xml

<advancedsettings>
<video>
<defaultplayer>dsplayer</defaultplayer>
</video>
</advancedsettings>

as well as the playercorefactory.xml

Also my default install directory is users/dannyv/appdata/roaming/XBMC/userdata. Am I correct that this is where I would plase these files.

I am very new to XBMC and XML so please forgive me if this question sounds kind of noobish.

dannyv45 Wrote:Thanks for the reply.

If I just use advancedsettings that will make it the default player for all content.

what I'm trying to do is have dsplayer defaultly play HD .mkv files with 720 or 1080 in the file name.

For example:

terminator (2009) 1080P.mkv will get played by dsplayer

terminator (2009) 720p.mkv will also get played by dsplayer

terminator (2009).mkv will get played by dvdplayer (note: no 720 or 1080 in file name).

All other content with file extensions such as .vob, avi mpeg etc would also default to dvdplayer.

It should work but I don't have any 1080 but 720 worked fine and only mkv with resolution in the file name

Code:

<playercorefactory>
  <players>
    <player name="DSPlayer" type="dsplayer" audio="false" video="true">
    </player>
  </players>
  <rules action="prepend">
    <rule filetypes="mkv" filename=".*720.*|.*1080.*" player="DSPlayer"/>
  </rules>
</playercorefactory>

carmenm Wrote:Hi,
I just wanted to relate a few facks i found out playing with DSPlayer.
-When i start a movie with multiple audio tracks, i can switch track and it works. but then if i close the dialog, come back and try again i cant change the audio track anymore.
- Saf is configured here to use ffdshow for 5.1 and more. using MP it works but using DSPlayer it uses MPAA codecs. I am not sure if its normal. I remind reading in the thread that you force used codecs, if i remember well ....
- I confirm than when Playing 5.1 or DTS in the MPAAcodec i have 6 channels in and 2 channels out. Though by putting my ears in front of the speakers i can say i still have 5.1.

Now i need to try the rtick to use dsplayer as default

Thanks

When I go to play a movie, all I get is a black screen. CPU usage seems to jump up. If a wait a while, I might hear some sound. XBMC becomes unresponsive. I then have to bring up task switcher to kill XBMC.

Maj. Incident Wrote:In Video Settings > Playback do you have "Adjust display refresh rate to match video" turned on? This will blank out the display as I don't think the DSPlayer likes this yet.
