Can't replicate the B/W issue you are having.
My hw : P4 3.2Ghz
RAm : 1Gb
GPU : NVIDIA 7600 GT
OS : win XP SP2
Any message in the logs? can you play the file in WMP ?
I've been following this tread for a little while and I think that there's some kind of misunderstanding here. I don't think Sensei is referring to actual Black & White playback (as in lack of color), rather he's not getting any video at all, just a black or a white screen where there should be a video.
I have the same problem as well. I have access to many PC around the company with different video solutions, and put XBMC on many of them. XBMC works fine on any nVidia based machines (Geforce 4 mx4000 all the way up to GeForce 8800GT).
It also works on ATI, sort of, but video is scrambled and you get green blocks and such and most Radeon cards. I read somewhere that there is a patch for it, but I haven't tried it yet.
I also tried it on many Intel integrated solutions with everything from 855G chipsets (Intel Extreme graphics 2), to G31 (GMA X3100).
It works OK on GMA x3100 (965G, G31 & G33), as long as you use one of the latest drivers, but does not work on GMA 900 or GMA 950. I tried it on many motherboards, and notebooks with the 945G chipset and all I get is either a black screen or a white screen. The video actually plays, because I can hear the audio. I can also bring up the OSD menu and shuttle the movie back and forth, change zoom options and rendering options, but I never see any actual video.
So this is a real problem. There are thousands of notebooks and systems with GMA 950 out there that could benefit from getting this working.
Oh, before someone says that GMA950 does not have some feature or is not capable of video playback in XBMC, may I point you to the XBMC for Mac OSX which works just fine on the Mac Minis with 945G chipsets (GMA950). So it's doable, it just doesn't currently work on the Win32 version of it.
I'm not a programmer or anything, but I'm sure someone out there is and can probably fix this (someone from the Mac or Linux branch perhaps?).
