Re: AW: SAF v6.00 (based on LAVF)

I just updated from SAF5 to SAF6 (unlock) on MP 1.2 RC an noticed that I cannot choose PDVD codec any longer on MP Config after SAF upgrade.
Is this normal or did I miss anything obvious?

Thanks.

You need to use unlocked SAF.

AW: Re: AW: SAF v6.00 (based on LAVF)

That's what I did.
I unlocked with SAF5 and installer said it operats in unlocked mode.

I tried it multiple times always with same result.
Is there a way to make an offline install as with SAF5 so I can check if the file can be downloaded properly
or is there any indication in the logs?

Thanks

Looks like server is down (again)... :(

EDIT:
Just tested it and it is working as it should.

Just tested again and it did not work for me.
Is there any chance for me to track down the problem?

Cheers

Edit:

The installer also says downloading.... and a directory T is created at root with two files in it however
it disappears to quick to find out what it is in there

Send me your SAF LOGs.

Here we are.
Just renamed it as .txt as 7z is not allowed.

Thank's

That is strange.
SAF download unlock file but it is not unpacked.

After SAF download unlocking file, it move it to sysroot:\T hidden folder (mostly C:\T\604.zip) and do a copy in folder where SAF.exe is located.
The SAF decompress the 604.zip file - and here seems to be problem, SAF didnt found the 604.zip file. Looks like something delete it. Can you check your antivirus if it doesnot block it? For example Kasperski have some falce detection, but in SAFkey.exe, not in 604.zip.

Hi Hoborg,

I noticed by default LAV video is not enabled in SAF 6. Do you still recommend FFDShow for video decoding even though the new version of LAV filters seems to have better support for YUC/RGB conversions.
Thanks a lot!

Well, in MePo you can try it to play video files, it should be working just fine, but not for LiveTV yet.
You can play all formats supported by FFMpeg, but due lack of VC-1i decoding, you wont be able to play interlaced VC-1 BluRays.

In other applications (like NPVR) you will hit limitations - no remote controler support (to switch audio/subtitles streams) and no subtitles rendering.

Missing DXVA shouldnt be a problem on modern CPUs it these days.

I am a NPVR user and i need subtitles and remote control support, so LAV video decoder is not an option for me.
Only way is using FFDshow video processor as postprocessing...

Thanks for the reply.
OK, subtitle is also important for me. FFDShow seems to support subtitles very well, so I'll stick to it for now.
I don't miss DXVA that much, as the RGB conversion produce horrible PQ with my HD5770 graphics card.
For now, to get the best PQ in MePo, software decoders are still the best bet IMO.
