Solved Issue 10-bit h264 (Hi10) Support?

I seem to be having a problem updating my library with both the -mt and non mt build. I'm using mysql to store my library info, the stock eden build allows me to properly update my video library using this setup, while these 2 builds would not properly update them. I use smb://server/share format as my source entries. Anyone having the same issues?

Note: Shine's older build seems to be updating properly, although I'm having playback issues with that build.

Forget any hw decoders doing anything but standard h264. We just got solid h264 hw decoding in the last few years and I seriously doubt that anyone doing hw decoders to care about a less than 1 percent market.

So pony up with a strong CPU and no whining about it when the fans kick in

Can someone tell me if one of the latest nightlies contains the latest ffmpeg version to play Hi10p enocdes (or point me to a page where I can find some sort of changelog on latest releases.)

Yes, all the latest nightlies contain the updated FFMPEG. Keep in mind that it will only do single-threaded decoding.

this is the best news since ... xbmc was created ! thank you so much for all the work ... this made my day !

btw its working like a charm on my old macbook core2duo with a crystalHD ... cpu is still very low

I have to say I'm pretty happy about this too.

Hm, so what's the difference to the two builds that you posted here 20 days ago?
I am currently using the mt build as my main XBMC player - also have a DSPlayer version for anime with ordered chapters - and so far I am pretty satisfied with it.

I posted two builds previously--the standard build, and the 'mt' build. The mt build allows multithreaded decoding of hi10 content, but breaks DXVA decoding; the standard build is compatible with DXVA decoding, but only decodes video in a single thread. Both allow you to play 10-bit video, but the mt build may help weaker CPUs that struggle when decoding hi10 content.

For now, the nightlies take the approach of single-threaded, DXVA support. If you have a decently powerful CPU, this will be fine. Hopefully the devs can figure out a way to get the best of both worlds, with multithreaded decoding for all non-DXVA accelerated content. From what I understand, there are some architectural issues that need to be solved first.

For now, what i think a very simple thing to do, would be to simply not disable multi-threading if DXVA is not activated in the settings.
I don't understand why dev haven't implement yet this simple thing...

we figured it was so simple, we have left it to you.
