x264 playback suddenly broken

bisr · 2012-04-20 10:47

All of a sudden in the last 24 hours x264 playback (both SD and HD files of all containers) on my computer through XBMC is broken.

This is what it looks like:

This is what my setting are, although I have tried all the video render modes and turning off DXMA2 hardware acceleration - nothing makes a bit of difference:

My computer:
Windows 7 x64 Home Professional
i7-3930k
EVGA GTX680 2GB
16GB Quad-Channel Memory

Everything playing back fine in Quicktime Player, VLC, Daum PotPlayer...

What the heck is up? Anyone else ever experienced this?

Appreciate any help at all.

Are there any clues in the log file? Enable debug logging from System settings, System, Debugging, and restart XBMC then wait a minute or two for all the startup tasks to finish. Play the offending video for a minute or so then stop the video and close XBMC.

Open the debug log by pressing Windows-R and in the Run dialog type:

"%appdata%\xbmc\xbmc.log"

(including the quotes). Click OK and the log should open in Notepad. Copy and paste the log into http://pastebin.com/ and post the link it gives you here.

Try The Latest Version Of DSPlayer -->Uninstall Current Version --> Install DSPlayer --> Tell XBMC To Use DSPlayer As Default Player Through AdvancedSettings.xml --> Try Playing The Videos Again

Okay, where is the AdvancedSettings.xml, and which line am I adjusting, specifically.

I uninstalled my current version of XBMC and installed the DSPlayer build and it made no difference.

Is this a different thing?

Okay I have made DSPlayer the default player. Now no video players open. I don't think I have installed DSPlayer correctly.
