@flyingrat, new tests with subtitles, I compiled gotham master with your latest commit for fix subtitle, well in BD Iso, internal subtitle is work again, but don´t show name language in audio settings (menu m). And external subtitle don´t is load yet . I need other tests for send more info to you.

OS: Windows 8

Thanks,

Thanks for the feedback! Regarding external ffmpeg, maybe mr vicbitter can shed some light on this? Have you checked if the video format you are using contains language information? You can use the tool mediainfo (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/sv/Download/Windows) to provide that info...

Speex and opus enabled macosx binary uploaded to ffmpeg_head_with_speex_and_opus/org.xbmc.speex.opus_13.0-0~a2_macosx-2013-04-29.dmg. Please test and report any oddities! /Thanks Lars

Cool!
Does playback with papplayer and or dvdplayer work?

Paplayer, but it has only been tested with some few samples i found online. You are more than welcome to try it out and provide some feedback!

Will try to test when I find time for this. Another question I have: FFMPEG 1.1 supports animated gif's. Did anyone try this already? Or does this also needs code change for this feature to be supported?

I think this will bring in lots of possibilities related to animated weather icons and fanart.

FFmpeg 1.1 introduced an animated gif decoder and demuxer but that will unfortunately not help us with the display logic, you will still need to extend the xbmc gui engine regardless of which "moving picture" format you want to use ("Post #7"). There are also other formats than git that might be interesting to support, check thread: "Animated (Cinemagraph) posters in skins". I'll think about it...

Thanks for clarifying that for me. What I know: Currently the slideshow (atleast before this commit) and thumbnails just show the first frame of an animated GIF. Never tried dvdplayer with an extra .gif extension in as.xml.

To be honest, I've never tried using animated gifs, but XBMC already supports them: Image Control (wiki)

flyingrat,

I didn't have any luck playing the opus audiobooks I have, I tried both PAPlayer and DVDPlayer and both say the files are unplayable.

I'll PM you a link to one of the files I tested.

@flyingrat, been away enjoying the Beer in Budapest... I'll look at this tomorrow!

Leechguy is working on something other than this http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=157585 which is completly new way of doing this.

FYI: The FFMPAG package will not compile with mingw64 for the 64 bit libraries, it will compile with the following line:
./configure --extra-cflags="-fno-common -DNDEBUG" --extra-ldflags="-L/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer" ${OPTIONS} --enable-memalign-hack --arch=x86_64 --target-os=mingw32 --pkg-config=pkg-config

So no XBMC dxva2api.h, I know that is now not a problem, but who knows in the future

Great, thank you very much! One of the things that really was biting me when --pkg-config= wasn't set, then pgk-config defaults to "false" and ./configure fails all the time in check_pkg_config() with the statement "$pkg_config --exists $pkg 2>/dev/null || return". Hard to tell if it's a bug or feature... /Cheers, Lars.

And also I noticed that crystalhd is now mainstream in the new ffmpeg library, so imho the existing implementation of crystalhd can be changed to the native ffmpeg.

[Skixbmc]

Uhhh, it looks like libass is also mainstream now in ffmpeg see http://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#subtitles

[flyingrat]

I assume that all patches are xbmc specific.

Yes, some are but many (most of them i would say) are worth putting upstreams...

Sounds like like you spent some quality time over there!

Yeah, as well as some others like vdpau but that one has been take care of by FernetMenta with PR #2699. Care to join forces? /Cheers, Lars.
