[DSCodec]Replacement for DSPlayer - tiben20 - 2011-02-19 05:39
Hi i'm the original creator of dsplayer and the only developer behind this directshow implementation into dvdplayer.
Last build
http://dsplayer.passion-xbmc.org/testbuild/XBMCSetup-Rev0f7bcc3-dx.exe
Previous build
http://dsplayer.passion-xbmc.org/testbuild/XBMCSetup-Rev1d981af-dx.exe
The branch
https://github.com/tiben20/xbmc
To report bug post them there
https://github.com/tiben20/xbmc/issues
KNOWN ISSUES
-right now its almost useless to try the build if your under windows xp the code is only in half way in construction
TODO
-Adding config for which filter is going to be used based on fourcc codec.
-(Maybe)Adding config page like i had in dsplayer to configurate a filter that is currently playing. I didn't like the old way i made which was buggy due to fake fullscreen and true fullscreen behaviors. I'm thinking about a python script with a gui that look pretty much like the alsa mixer for xbmc live
-fixing wmv2 and wmv3 codec
-fixing dvd playback
-add vmr9 for xp users
-adding audio codec (Already got them all of them working but i have a problem with the internal renderers(wasapi and directsound)which don't support a pass through for hd bitstream. So i'm thinking about a solution to fix this, i might try to create a fake renderer and render with a directshow renderer but from the test i done already with a fake renderer i'm not getting the timing working right)
-adding dxva description in osd
TROUBLESHOOTING
-You need ffdshow installed or mpc standalone video codec registered to be able to use the codec(will be fixed when i add the config stuff)
-If you can't connect to a currently directshow graph because your using windows 7 x64 register proppage.dll and quartz.dll in your syswow64 directory
Of course a screenshot

If the dvdplayer use the codec its going to be written dc:DirectShow
You don't need to ask for adding DirectshowDXVA when its a using it's also in my to do list.

Thx Tiben for continuing development.

Thanks for your valuable contribution !
Could you please provide some instructions on how to make XBMC DSCodec use MPC-HC codecs ?
I installed your version and tried to find something where I could define which codecs to use without success. Is there any configuration file that I need to create ? Or it is uses some default system codecs (like WMP does). Info shows "dc: Directshow" but CPU is using 100% while playing 1080p MKV file.

Just register mpcvideodec or install ffdshow and they will be used. Only registered one are working on this build

Awesome Tiben, thanks for your hard work and contribution! Am I understanding you right that HD bitstreaming is not yet ready? This is confusing me:

Started working on a python plugin with basic skin so far its listing the codecs.
It's the first time i'm coding a skin so its not going really fast it took me 2 hours to make this.

Nice !! Can't wait to try this out.

Is this going to become the main codec package for xbmc, or is this just a playey abouty side project?
