WebM playback, luma expansion and integration to StreamedMP (1 Viewer)

[somy]

Hi,

Thank you very much for the wonderful plugin. I have the following issues which I hope someone can help me out:

1) I cannot get WebM to play, is it because I'm lacking some filters? I'm currently using LAV Splitter+LAV Audio Decoder+FFDShow Video Decoder, I also have MediaLook (not sure why I need it)+QuickTime installed.
2) I noticed the luma expansion doesn't work (16-235 is not expanded to 0-255) when I played some videos from YouTube, other videos look fine though.
3) How can I integration online videos to StreamedMP skin? Right now I can only find two shortcuts (one for YouTube, one for Trailers) in Basic Home Editor.

Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance!!!

You can select WEBVIDEOS from the list.

A little googling did provide the following: The WebM Project | VP8 and WebM Tools

You would also need Vorbis as described on the page.

Check what the graph looks like when playing a not luma-extended video. Check the filters used.

OK, thanks a lot!
I'd avoid install too many directshow filters on my system. Is there anyway to configure onlinevideos plugin not to show WebM as an option?
MP4 is good enough for me.
Thank again!

OK, I have figured out VP8 decoding is by default disabled in FFDShow.
Since WebM is basically MKV, LAV splitter supports it perfectly.
Thanks for the help anyway
