I would hope that problems and issues reported would make their way there by coders DXVA = DirectX Video Acceleration.... ie. hardware video accelerated playback rather than softwareDXVA free's the CPU from decoding video and leaves if free for post processing filters to use the CPUAll major codecs support DXVA, from FFDshow to MPC-HC to Core codec and powerdvd's codecs and LAV filters. MediaPortal itself has been running on MPC-HC's codecs for a while by default with DXVA. Why should we be forced to switch this feature off for all video playback for this one plugin? firstly, there are many 3dtv.at filters. These are the ones listed as available. There is no one 3dtv.at filter3dtv.at Audio Stream Switcher3dtv.at Effect Renderer3dtv.at Effect Source3dtv.at JPEG2000 Video Decoder3dtv.at Null Video Renderer3dtv.at Stereo Image Source3dtv.at Stereo Image Renderer3dtv.at Stereo Transformation3dtv.at Stereo Windows Media Source3dtv.at Stream Control Your plugin is meant to create the correct filter chain with the needed filters, just adding one is not enough and your plugin is meant to enable/disable the function. We don't want it enabled for all playback. But, I manually added 3dtv.at Stereo Transformation filter anyway, set it up, and it does have in it's performance options, multi-core optimisations, use SSE2 AND....... use DXVA2, so there is no reason for it to require DXVA be disabled, but this filter alone will not playback 3d properly. Even outside MP, you need several of these filters in a chain to get it working Here is the filter list when playing from stereoscopic player directly (as an example, on this computer, not my HTPC)3dtv.at Stereo Renderer  In connected to 3dtv.at Stereo Transformation (RGB, 32 bpp, 1 x 1920 x 800, 24:5)DirectSound Audio Renderer  Audio Input pin (rendered) connected to 3dtv.at Audio Stream Switcher (PCM IEEE float, 6 ch, 48000 Hz, 32 bits)3dtv.at Stereo Transformation  Input 1 connected to 3dtv.at AVC/MVC Decoder (by CoreCodec) (YV12, 12 bpp, 3840 x 800, 24:5, 23.976 fps, progressive)  Subpicture Input not connected  Output 1 connected to 3dtv.at Stereo Renderer (RGB, 32 bpp, 1 x 1920 x -800, 24:5)3dtv.at Audio Stream Switcher  Input 1 connected to Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder (PCM IEEE float, 6 ch, 48000 Hz, 32 bits)  Input 2 not connected  Output connected to DirectSound Audio Renderer (PCM IEEE float, 6 ch, 48000 Hz, 32 bits)3dtv.at AVC/MVC Decoder (by CoreCodec)  AVC connected to 3dtv.at MP4 Source (by MPC-HC) (MPEG2, 3840 x 800, 24:5, 23.976 fps)  Output 1 connected to 3dtv.at Stereo Transformation (YV12, 12 bpp, 3840 x 800, 24:5, 23.976 fps, progressive)Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder  XForm In connected to 3dtv.at MP4 Source (by MPC-HC) (AAC, 6 ch, 24000 Hz, 16 bits)  XFrom Out connected to 3dtv.at Audio Stream Switcher (PCM IEEE float, 6 ch, 24000 Hz, 32 bits)3dtv.at MP4 Source (by MPC-HC)  Output 1 connected to 3dtv.at AVC/MVC Decoder (by CoreCodec) (MPEG2, 3840 x 800, 24:5, 23.976 fps)  GPAC ISO Audio Handler connected to Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder (AAC, 6 ch, 24000 Hz, 16 bits)  Output 3 (eng) not connected  MP has an option for automatic codec settings. It's here<img src="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/@api/deki/files/1245/=VideoCodecs.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> This allows you to set codec prefs outside of MP and allow custom filter chains. I already use it to allow DXVA codecs to decode video, and depending on the type of video, use ffdshow to upscale, clean up older noisy video or cleanup compression artifacts, different settings for different types of video depending on size, codec, etc. I did make the suggestion of reading an SVI file, where the 3d settings for every video can be read. This is part of the stereoscopic player program to create SVI files so that the video will automatically load with the correct settings everytime. But, this idea was dismissed, instead making you re-setup every 3d video in the plugin and let the plugin remember it. Setting SVI as a filetype in MP would have been a great way to separate 2d and 3d playback. So, I'm left to load 3d video in powerdvd. Stereoscopic player doesn't respond to remote control settings and does not playback subtitles. It would have been nice to have a plugin that can be turned on and off, within MP but I will not sacrifice DXVA and more for it. It's a shame, it could have been a good plugin. Perhaps you could get some more skilled coders to take over.</blockquote>
