i think that if you could make a way to check if all codecs are correct lots of post of people asking with video problems would be saved.
maybe this is totally impossible as no perfect codecs exist, its just an idea. |
MediaPortal 2 will allow you to define which codec should be use for mpeg2, h.264, mpeg4/divx, ac3/dts.
normaly the "best" codec is choosen by the intelligent connect system of direct show which is looking for filters that can decode the media-stream. if it finds multiple filters then the one with the highest merit setting ("priority") wins and is used.
since MediaPortal allows the user to select the specific filter he wants to be used for some media-types, means that the merits become meaningless.
MediaPortal will always force to use the codec you configured.
this is extremely nice because without that you would have to manualy alter the merit of every installed filter so the right one (the one you want) gets used when playing a media file.
note: if you play a file you can not configure a filter for, then ofc the correct filter is choosen by Windows/DriectShow. i.e. mov files or avis with MJPEG.
