FattyMcDirty:
No idea what that can be. Haven't hard of any such problems.

CrystalP:
Never tried to turn on dx debugging. But sound weird that it would work with mpc but not xbmc. GetDecoderDeviceGuids() is quite early in the chain aswell.

Trying Build r29466 I cannot reroduce FattyMcDirty's issue either.

Win7 x64
Nvidia 9400 GT
Intel 9300 quad core 2.5gha

Elupus - I have the same issue as FattyMcDirty has.

Could be anything from ref frames to who knows what - Let me know if you want system specs and a sample file.

oldpainless,
Could I get a sample? I only tried a few of my files but I run through all my files I use for testing as well here in a min.

Yeah of course - I'll post a link - but won't be untill tomorrow morning tho.

Sorry, should add for clarity - very low cpu overhead, but stutters, as if it's playing a random frame several times (and we all know there is no such thing as random..lol)..for me - H.264 with either DTS or AC3 in an MKV, or TS wrapper.

Win7 32 bit, Ion rig.

Can you tell me any info on the file? m2ts or mkv etc? VC1 or 264?

Hey Elupus,

Just checking in to see what the latest on "auto adjust refresh" is? I know you had mentioned that a newer version of FFmpeg might resolve the issue. I just grabbed build 29466, and I am still seeing the issue. If I set the refresh rate to 60hz on my desktop, the UI is smooth and things work for a bit. Swtiching back and forth between 24 and 30 hz content causes all sorts of screen artifacts and eventually I hear audio for a second, then a black screen and a screeching sound. I have to kill XBMC at that point. Setting the UI display to 24hz seems to cut down on the amount of crashes, but the UI isn't very smooth.

Last time I reported this issue, you said you didn't need a debug log. I'm always happy to provide one if it will help Smile

Cheers,
Rand


- elupus - 2010-04-24

auto refreshrate is still funky, has nothing todo with fixes upstream. it's our code that has the problem. I've not looked at it since initialy addition of dxva, found it less important than getting it to work on more cards.

The artifacts I actually thought would have been fixed before r29466.. then again there is no r29466 of trunk repo, so you must be using something else (possibly pvr).


- Rand Al Thor - 2010-04-24

Hey Elupus,

I'm using the DX build from xbmc nightly at sshcs. I definitely understand what you are saying about spending your time on support for more cards. The refresh thing is a very mild inconvenience. It is all about the greater good Wink I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something or had broken something on my end.

Cheers,
Rand

Yeah anything Ive tried...even my "The Shining" rip..nothing stutters at all. Ill jsut wait for a sample.

Ok..as promised...sample file here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?dtmq3cmhctx

Overview of the issue - low cpu (7-15%), on-screen menu shows fps as rock solid, but, the video jerks/judders every few seconds, as if playing a frame several times - that is important to understand, because it is not skipping frames, if that makes sense. All files streamed via SMB - not tested local files, as all media is on a central server.

I'm not sure a debug will showing anything, but let me know if one will help.

Downloaded your clip mate - but nothing notiecable - smooth as silk playback (low fps) - this is running off a local drive - Win7x86, Nvidia GT240.

Could this be a server issue?

Cheers buddy - nah, just installed a portable version of the latest svn and copied the sample to the local hard drive - same issue...Angry..lol

Like I said, pre-merge (using XBMCSetup-Rev28622-dx), dvdplayer plays flawless.

- FattyMcDirty - 2010-04-25

jup, same issue here.. file not streamed via smb, it's on the local pc...
not skipping frames, cpu-load is ok, too.. but it's jerking around like hell Sad
ONLY with DXVA enabled.. if you disable it, video plays ok!
