XBMC Media Center : Setup Guide, Knowlege Base & Support - Page 46

Look at his username, the guy has fun 24/7

GreenEyez - you still got the high pitched static noise problem you reported on xbmc forums - see the other user who had the problem resolved his issue. DSPlayer wasn't being used for playback - might be worth a check to ensure that you either have an advancedsetting file or are starting dsplayer from the context menu.

Used to think that sometimes he was in that state 24/7

Hows it going Damian - nice to see DSPlayer back on the radar.

I don't drink you jokesters. Tinkering with htcp's is going to drive me to it though.

Not too bad here, still trying to make an honest living, I think. How goes with you?

The rebirth of DSPlayer has definitely caught my attention. Will need to give it a test run with LAV.


Honestly I thought alcohol was mandatory to mess with HTPCs

Why do we still need dsplayer as Eden is going to release soon?

Apart from the fact that Eden won't have HD Audio capability - some like the option of using Direct Show filters to enhance the viewing experience.

Is there a tutorial somewhere for best picture quality possible using XBMC? Also, is there any way to utilize crossfire for video playback?

LOL give it hic...!!! time.

Hey greeneyez, thanks for this info. I havnt been able to get it going yet. I posted my below info over at xbmc but thought I would throw it up here as well in case I can get feedback on it. One thing I was wondering(maybe steelman can answer as well) is that your files are much smaller than the ones steelman has in his post below to me. They are like the ones in the program files (86) path not the userdata path. Since I thought those were already there and steelman also said they were included in the build, I was confused as why the two different type mediaconfig and advance settings files are different. Also, where you say to put the mediasconfig file in the dsplayer folder in the userdata path, there was no dsplaer file. I had to create a dsplayer file to put the mediasconfig file into. The only dsplaer file is in the program files (86) path. Let me know if you see the problem. In the meantime I'm going to keep at it and read up on the instructions given here:

http://dsplayer.wikia.com/wiki/HOW-TO:_Using_DSPlayer

- Im trying to install all lav filters and lav cuvid in dsplaer build. when i hit the c button, "play using"shows dsplayer but when i press on it nothing happens. I installed the mediasconfig.xmlin my C:\\Users\\Alex\\AppData\\Roaming\\XBMC\\userdata\\dsplay er folder. and Put the advancedsettings in your C:\\Users\\Alex\\AppData\\Roaming\\XBMC\\userdata folder. there was no dsplayer folder in the users\
ame\\appdata\
oaming\\xbmc\\userdata\\so i created oneand put the file in that. Here is the mediasconfig fileI used: ---

and here is the advance settings file i used: - - dsplayer

I didnt do anything to the C\\program files(86)\\xbmc\\system\\players\\dsplayer files but i will show them anyway.

here is the filter config file that is located there:http://pastebin.com/HhLddcSs

here is the mediasconfig filethatis there : http://pastebin.com/9EzdEFU9

and here is my error log:http://pastebin.com/wC2uDu5Q

any ideas?

Edit: I actually looked at steelmans indepth for the first time and realized they are the same as yours I believe except he was just giving me one for many file types.

Cool, thanks. I think I could figure it out, but yeah, if you don't mind making the file, that would be great. Thanks. I want to to use dsplayer with all lav spltters/filters and cuvid for all filetypes. That way when madvr is implemented I won't have to change it again(hopefully) to include the rest of the filetypes besides mkv.

Oh, I wasn't sure what you meant by or if you were asking me something with your first sentence, " Well, first let`s clarify what does 2 folders 2" ??

Haha, that's cool, that's what I figured. Hey, thanks for this. I'm sure its going tobhelo a lot if people out. I'm gonna do it right now il let you know if it works. Thanks again..

Edit:.nevermind, I got flanked by the old lady, il have to do it later.

Had to read that edit a second time purely for comprehension purposes

So I added the new mediaconfig file to the C:\\program files\\ path and removed the old one from C:\\ users path after i backed it up. I also left the advancesettings file in the C:\\users path. when i play any movie it uses the standard player, when i press "C" and hit "play using" dsplayer it works on MKV's, but thats it. When I press "O" and read the info at top of screen it says Im using Lav filters and video decoder for every filter on mkv's. But when I press "play using" and dsplayer for anything else it uses the regular player and filters again.

here is my error log: http://pastebin.com/aPYTMMaX


Edit: oh, also there is a dsplayer in my C:/user path this build(I used todays build) as well

I could just edit the file you gave me and under each audio/video format/container type where it lists wich filters each one uses, just replace those with the lav filters, right?

Also, how would I get it to use the dsplayer as my default player for everything so I dot have to us " C, play using" any more?

Did you maybe give me the wrong file by mistake, it looks like lav filters are just used for ISO, and mkv.

Don't think that will resolve the issue of default playback. I would suggest that if it isn't working it is only 1 of 2 things - incompatible xml file, or file in the wrong location.

@joeydrunk - could you provide a screenshot of your userdata location?

I actually thought of that and tried it but it didn't work. I think I'm going to do a fresh install and try it again though. I think all of my SD stuff is either avi or xvid. Besides mkv j think that's all I have, I'm going to double check though. I was going to change it and add lav to extra file types but for some reason whenever I try to make a .xml folder with notepad and then I open it, its blank. I havnt done thus in awhile since I was making a playercorefactory file, is there something I'm not doing right? I just save it as a .xml in the title and that's it turns up blank every time. Oh i tried.playing two.different ISO as well and it just plays the sound. I think they are dvd ISO. If you can think of something I'm doing wring with my making of a .xml file I can do it or if it isn't a hassle for you and you wouldn't mind makng me one with avi and xvid that would be wonderfully. I'm going to download xbmc again and move the other file and try it.

Yeah, give me a sec and il put it up.

yes it is the same. where you have alex i have home but that is fine.

Reading between the lines and by Joey's report of blank xml files - it sounds like its the set-up of the xml that's the issue.

Joey here's an advancedsettings config - paste it to notepad and when saving make sure that the 'file name' is called advancedsettings.xml and doesn't have a .txt extension.

save it to the c:\\users\\username\\appdata\
oaming\\xbmc\\userdata folder.

That worked for making .xml files. I didn't switch it off .txt to all files.
