Solved Issue 10-bit h264 (Hi10) Support?

Sorry, i personnaly don't know the answer to your question.

Wow, those Kara effects of UTWoots' Sword Art Online 01v2 kill the latest build. First time that I noticed it that much.
The v1 of that episode didn't have any Kara, so the OP playing at the end played fine without any framedrops.

I haven't got around to trying it yet with my E2140, but looks like I might need to swap around some CPUs. I have an E7500 in my main HTPC ... which doesn't ever play back 10-bit, and my server has an E6300 (the original 1.83GHz, not the later much faster one).

Subtitle effects should be able to use the second core even if the h.264 decoding doesn't.

...I wonder if XBMC is smart enough to give ffmpeg it's own core and to keep everything else on the other core(s) to ensure that one core it can use is used as best as possible...

Each OS will prevent this. Because there are more processes/threads running then cores are available the ffmpeg thread and even the whole XBMC process are very likly to get moved off the CPU by the task scheduler.

Well, I installed yesterday's nightly and now UTWoots' Sword Art Online episodes play perfectly, including OP and ED with no slowdowns, so either something was wrong with my system or some more progress was made in those 12 days regarding the subtitle engine of XBMC.
Other releases of UTW, such as Kono Naka still have problems when it comes to heavy kara effects, though.

I haven't had any problems using ericab's OpenELEC built on the 17th for SOA on my E2140 - sits around 30% on each core during the kara effects.

BTW, it looks like 10-bit is completely broken on OpenELEC 2.0 RC5 - if I try to play any 10-bit video, XBMC crashes. But the Frodo builds are going very nicely for me (they used to freeze sometimes esp. after resuming, but that seems to be fixed).

Does it mean DVDPlayer in frodo has combine or inside LAV filter? I'm confuse why people always discuss DSPlayer with hi10p instead of DVDPlayer?
Is DSPlayer the original default player in XBMC? why it replaced with dvdplayer?

XBMC uses what we call DVDPlayer, it's our internal video player.

Out of curiosity, am I correct that with the current cleverness in hardware decoding, a file that has all these latest encoding tricks will be partially hardware-accelerated (for example I assume that the DCT's and motion compensation stuff can still be done by the GPU) and the rest will have to be done by the CPU? Or will GPUs basically do all-or-nothing when it comes to format support?
