Thank you, this is one thing that I have been missing for quite some time (Using all kind of external programs , dirmon and bat files).

I will give it a try.

After installing this on top of the latest SVN, Configuration won't launch. I get a windows error message which wants me to send the report to M$.

Hello Noelix,

Sorry the patch is only for the version released 2.2.0.

here the patch for the svn version tag 12777 download

It is difficult actually to follow the svn version because it will necessary to deliver one patch per release.

I can deliver the patch for svn on demand.

Bye

Ah I got you now. Thanks so much for making a build! It's actually SVN tag 12771 (so people don't get it confused - there is no 12777). I'm checking it out now.

EDIT: mencoder crashed on that build. From this point forward I'm going to test with the 2.2.0 release version of MediaPortal so we're all on the same page.

EDIT: Ok I tested with MP 2.2.0 and using the 2.2.0 version patch. I replaced config.txt with mencoder.xvid.config.txt, and tested that. Mencoder crashes. Below is a link to the mediaportal.log file:

EDIT: I tested with MP 2.2.0 with the corresponding transcoding patch. I used the default config.txt (uses ffmpeg), and it leaves a blank command prompt window up on screen. The log file throws up error flags as well. I used a different file to test this one:

Hello fabrice,

This was on my to do list. So, thanks! Are you the fabrice who holds the copywrite on ffmpeg? If you post the code changes and a working ffmpeg version, I can add it to the svn. Does the included ffmpeg version use libxvidcore or the internal xvid?

MP 2.2.0 Mencoder crash, awaiting developments
