neghar Wrote:Been a little while heh.. I've searched for an answer, as it appears only this addon and SOME of my video files have a small amount of green to them. I never really noticed it but True Blood seems to have a green tint on the screens with black. When I open those episodes up in VLC or GOM player they do not have it. As far as I can tell this addon is the only one that has this, and its much more obvious here.. all the colors are off and a huge green bar on the top. Ive tried ice films, food network, cartoon network, adult swim and some others but they look fine. Ive updated xbmc a couple times most recently to e391fde from 8/22, updated video drivers.. I'm about to completely uninstall xbmc and see if something got corrupted, but I dont want to lose everything I've set up Unfortunately I love this plugin so much I'm willing to do just that!!

I think the key here is that, most all but a couple of the team sites (dallas,colts), the videos are .mp4. The add-ons that you spoke of use .flv accept icefilms, they use divx.

Play a video from one of the nfl categories, take a look at the xbmc.log, you should find something like this -

Yeah I would love to have something like that also, but it's not available in the US:stare:damn directv.

I imagine they are using the same (HLS of some sort) type streaming method that they are using for 'Preseason Live' that I looked at. Basically they are splitting the video in to two second mp4 files for witch you have to make a get request for each one. I've experimented, a little, with trying to make a M3U8 playlist, but haven't been able to get seamless playback.

Anyway, we would really need someone outside the US to develop it.

Looks like it's using the proper codec. I don't think I'm going to be of much help here. What OS are you using?

Win 7 64bit. I also have an ATI HD3800 but the threads Ive found are not completely my problem, I'm going to reinstall tonight.. looking like my best bet.

Try changing the render method in - Settings>Video>Playback. Maybe try without DXVA. You could for debugging issues install the stable 10.1 (or any other build)in portable mode without disturbing your current setup. You just install to a different directory and create a shortcut to the new xbmc.exe with the -p switch.

Wow.. I could have sworn I tried this last week.. The plugin works fantastic now!! My episodes of true blood are still greenish but thats ok Smile

Ok, GF is home.. gotta cook dinner and retire my research tonight! Thanks!!

gamepass is truly awesome, love watching stuff in 4 boxes Smile

just a PITA that i have to watch it at my computer because there are so many things to click on i can't stand sitting in my loungeroom having to get up to click everything lol.
