[QUOTE="Xetick, post: 51554, member: 20382"] Reason for request: Currently windows has its codecs hell. It's confusing and frustrating for the user to get a HTPC up and running so it plays all formats it should. To add to the confusion you often need to install multiple players to play all formats. Solution: My suggested solution to this problem is to integrate mplayer with mediaportal. What would needed to be done: - Install mplayer with mediaportal - Add option to use mplayer instead of directshow - Fix so dos box doesn't show up when playing - Integrate mediaportal OSD into mplayer Conclusion: Doing the suggested would help mediaportal get an even better reputation because then users could take a clean machine. Get their soundcard & gfx to work and just install mediaportal. Everything else would be handled by mediaportal! Something not even Windows MC can do. Links: [url=http://www.mplayerhq.hu]MPlayer homepage[/url] [url=http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php]Good working builds of mplayer[/url] My current mplayer config. Would ofcourse need to be changed depending on the machine. [code] #General quiet=yes cache=20000 cache-min=10 #Render vo=directx double=yes autosync=100 framedrop=yes fs=yes vf=dsize=1368:768 # Comment out line to skip zooming monitoraspect=16:9 # Subtitles ffactor=0.8 subfont-blur=2 subfont-osd-scale=3 subfont-outline=2 subfont-text-scale=1.8 # Sound ao=dsound channels=6 volnorm=1 [/code] Keep up the good work! It's a geat piece of software! /Joakim E. - [url=http://www.plane9.com]Plane9[/url] [/QUOTE]
