You can use DSPlayer for music, but you will not get visualization/"full screen" just music playing in the background.

But if you're just looking for better audio I would suggest trying one of DDDamian's AE builds over here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=124600

One question, I have found certain mkv/h264 files that behave rather weridly with DSPlayer and the LAV filters setup.
They play at around 80% of the FPS (stuttering slightly) and there is no sound.
Checking the debug log I cannot find anything weird.

Am I correct in assuming it's something with the LAV filters in this case (I used that guide), that is having issues with certain parameters of the file?

Here is the media info for one file, in case anyone sees a compatibility issue or the like:

are you sure you're using LAV? i would double check everything because there should be no issue

phunqe · 2012-04-19 18:55

Yes, I see the LAV filters being in use in the log.

I'll fiddle with some settings at some point. I set it up quite recently with DSPlayer, so I don't know yet if there are many movies that display this issue. If it's only a few I'll just do a re-encode probably.

Is there a build that exists that would take advantage of true HD audio such as found in DDDamians builds - https://github.com/DDDamian/xbmc/downloads that also combines the ability to play 10bit properly as this DS player build does? It would be nice to have the improved audio quality but choosing a build other than this one isn't really an option as it would render much of my anime not playable without it.

I've got a strange problem i can't seem to fix. everytime i use pseudotv it crashes xbmc upon exiting. It only happen with eden 11.0- dsplayer. if intsall any other version of eden problem goes away. Heres a copy oof the debug log maybe someone could help me out. thanks

Regarding my previous bug with some movies playing at like 85% FPS, stuttering without audio.
I found more movies doing this unfortunately, but I found what it is. It's the bitstreaming. If I turn it off for the format in question (DTS) the movie plays normally.

Does anybody have any ideas what might be happening here?

Is it possible to use LAV video with something else for the audio (e.g. ffdshow)?

EDIT: I'll fiddle with the filters section to try to get ffdshow going for the audio. Since it's bitstreaming I don't care much what takes care of it, but the video part should be LAV (since from what I can gather it has better PQ).

Ok so this was not encouraging obviously... I set ffdshow as the audio filter, but I still get the same problem. When bitstreaming for DTS is turned on the movies lag with no audio at about 20 instead of 24/25 FPS.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

UPDATE: I tried with a different splitter (Gabest), since I read that the splitter sometimes could cause similar problems. Didn't help. I even tried using ffdshow for the video but the problem persists.

UPDATE 2: I restored everything to LAV filters and pasted a debug log here if anyone can see anything weird http://pastebin.com/2K4a4meK

UPDATE 3: I was getting a bit worried that it might be my general setup, so I tried MPC-HC, using ffdshow for audio with passthrough enabled. This worked without problems, it passes through the audio correctly and the video plays normally. I have a sample file of this movie in case of interest.

Hi guys, is Dsplayer seek bar can work now on Eden ? i can use seek bar with dvdplayer , but not dsplayer.

I've now tried with DanielaE's patched version of XBMC and bitstreaming works there without problems. I'm finding more and more movies displaying the issue with DSPlayer.
