Using portable edition must mean that you're not using the DSplayer edition that is posted at the first post of this thread, so maybe check out what XBMC edition of Frodo you're using first!

My setup....

video material is always 720p, 1080i (LiveTV DVR from WMC) or 1080p (BR rips)
Onkyo TX-NR818 with HQV Vida VHD1900 chip doing 1080p upscaling
HTPC: Intel i7 w/ 6GB RAM, running XBMC (playback) & WMC (LiveTV DVR only), Win7, NVidia Quadro 880M

First step is to get hold of that patch then, even if it wasn't finished. I don't mind working on it even if it's never going to be patched into the trunk. I think there'e quite a few users that are serious enough about having the best PQ to compile XBMC by themselves.
On a side note, I had relaxed my need for the best PQ for a while until I accidentally did a non prepared test. I had setup a playercore factory xml file to use with MPC-HC and madVR becuase I wanted to test something. However, I got something else to do and I forgot about it for the rest of the day, without restarting XBMC. I was at some stage later (next day) watching a blu-ray of The Life of Pi when XBMC crashed. I started it again and played the movie from start while I was going to the bathroom (so I didn't notice MPC-HD starting up). When I came back I was like what the hell happened to the PQ. So much better PQ "suddenly", until I realized it was MPC-HD with madVR playing.
After this experience there is no more internal player and I want to get madVR going with DSPlayer, even if it means I have to compile it myself, since with DSPlayer you retain all the GUI parts.

- DSplayer has limited network stream support. This is not exactly its issue, but rather a DirectShow limitation - there is no universal DS source filter which can support multiple network stream formats. As a workaround, in the builds I post I add the following strings in the system playercorefactory.xml file:
to play network streams with XBMC's default DVDplayer. If you have obtained a build from other sources, you may want to consider adding these strings to your own configuration.PHP Code:<!-- DSPlayer rules: set network streams to DVDPlayer -->
<rule name="other" protocols="daap|rtv|rtsp|rtmp|http|https|rtmpe|rtsp|mms|rtp|pvr" player="DVDPlayer" />
- DSplyaer does not support ass/ssa subtitles with complex effects (shadows, karaoke etc.), though it can display those subs with simple formatting (fonts, colors, position etc.).
