I have used ffdshow for years with emby...I have my remote programmed to utilize it for subtitles, etc. Now with h265 getting more prevalent, I am beginning to have and more shows that are h265 and thus I can't play them. Is there an easy way to get h265 to play given that I use ffdshow or do I have to move to LAV or some other codec and go through that whole pita, break my remote function, etc.? Thanks.

Hi, I'm hoping that someone here will be able to help me get MPC setup on my HTPC. I have installed; - Haali Splitter (23/06/2013) - ffdshow (tryouts rev 4500_20131006_x64) - MPC - 1.7.0.x64 I have a file that I'm trying to open that reports the following in MediaInfo: General UniqueID/String : 154290161963041079409139273994921567283 (0x7413344D53662BC4DEB0FA7DC4E3E433) CompleteName : \\Temp-Store00\TestFile.mkv Format : Matroska Format_Version : Version 2 FileSize/String : 2.02 GiB Duration/String : 43mn 22s OverallBitRate/String : 6 669 Kbps Movie : Ep1 Encoded_Application : Lavf55.8.102 Encoded_Library/String : Lavf55.8.102 Video ID/String : 1 Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format_Profile : High@L4.1 Format_Settings_CABAC/String : Yes Format_Settings_RefFrames/String : 9 frames CodecID : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC Duration/String : 43mn 22s BitRate/String : 5 027 Kbps Width/String : 1 280 pixels Height/String : 720 pixels DisplayAspectRatio/String : 16:9 FrameRate_Mode/String : Constant FrameRate/String : 23.976 fps ColorSpace : YUV ChromaSubsampling : 4:2:0 BitDepth/String : 8 bits ScanType/String : Progressive Bits-(Pixel*Frame) : 0.227 StreamSize/String : 1.52 GiB (75%) Encoded_Library/String : x264 core 133 r2334 a3ac64b Encoded_Library_Settings : cabac=1 / ref=9 / deblock=1:-2:-2 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=umh / subme=10 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.15 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=32 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=0 / chroma_qp_offset=-3 / threads=4 / lookahead_threads=1 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=8 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=2 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=2 / keyint=250 / keyint_min=23 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=80 / rc=crf / mbtree=1 / crf=17.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=0 / qpmax=69 / qpstep=4 / vbv_maxrate=62500 / vbv_bufsize=78125 / crf_max=0.0 / nal_hrd=none / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:1.00 Language/String : English Default/String : No Forced/String : No Audio ID/String : 2 Format : DTS Format/Info : Digital Theater Systems Format_Settings_Mode : 16 Format_Settings_Endianness : Big CodecID : A_DTS Duration/String : 43mn 22s BitRate_Mode/String : Constant BitRate/String : 1 509 Kbps Channel(s)/String : 6 channels ChannelPositions : Front: L C R, Side: L R, LFE SamplingRate/String : 48.0 KHz BitDepth/String : 24 bits Compression_Mode/String : Lossy StreamSize/String : 468 MiB (23%) Title : 3/2+1 Language/String : English Default/String : Yes Forced/String : No Text ID/String : 3 Format : PGS CodecID : S_HDMV/PGS CodecID/Info : The same subtitle format used on BDs/HD-DVDs Language/String : English Default/String : No Forced/String : No Menu 00:00:00.000 : :Chapter 01 00:03:10.523 : :Chapter 02 00:09:33.573 : :Chapter 03 00:17:33.635 : :Chapter 04 00:24:41.271 : :Chapter 05 00:30:40.213 : :Chapter 06 00:39:07.470 : :Chapter 07 00:42:34.176 : :Chapter 08 When I try to load it into MPC - I get the following: LAV Splitter Source (internal)::Audio LAV Audio Decoder (internal)::Output Audio Switcher::Out Media Type 0: -------------------------- Audio: IEEE Float 48000Hz 6ch 9216kbps AM_MEDIA_TYPE: majortype: MEDIATYPE_Audio {73647561-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} subtype: MEDIASUBTYPE_IEEE_FLOAT {00000003-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} formattype: FORMAT_WaveFormatEx {05589F81-C356-11CE-BF01-00AA0055595A} bFixedSizeSamples: 1 bTemporalCompression: 0 lSampleSize: 24 cbFormat: 40 WAVEFORMATEX: wFormatTag: 0xfffe nChannels: 6 nSamplesPerSec: 48000 nAvgBytesPerSec: 1152000 nBlockAlign: 24 wBitsPerSample: 32 cbSize: 22 (extra bytes) WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE: wValidBitsPerSample: 32 dwChannelMask: 0x0000003f SubFormat: {00000003-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} pbFormat: 0000: fe ff 06 00 80 bb 00 00 00 94 11 00 18 00 20 00 þÿ..€»...”.... . 0010: 16 00 20 00 3f 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 .. .?........... 0020: 80 00 00 aa 00 38 9b 71 €..ª.8›q Media Type 1: -------------------------- Audio: PCM 48000Hz 6ch 4608kbps AM_MEDIA_TYPE: majortype: MEDIATYPE_Audio {73647561-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} subtype: MEDIASUBTYPE_PCM {00000001-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} formattype: FORMAT_WaveFormatEx {05589F81-C356-11CE-BF01-00AA0055595A} bFixedSizeSamples: 1 bTemporalCompression: 0 lSampleSize: 12 cbFormat: 40 WAVEFORMATEX: wFormatTag: 0xfffe nChannels: 6 nSamplesPerSec: 48000 nAvgBytesPerSec: 576000 nBlockAlign: 12 wBitsPerSample: 16 cbSize: 22 (extra bytes) WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE: wValidBitsPerSample: 16 dwChannelMask: 0x0000003f SubFormat: {00000001-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} pbFormat: 0000: fe ff 06 00 80 bb 00 00 00 ca 08 00 0c 00 10 00 þÿ..€»...Ê...... 0010: 16 00 10 00 3f 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 ....?........... 0020: 80 00 00 aa 00 38 9b 71 €..ª.8›q I'm consulted the following http://codecguide.com/faq_mpc.htm and followed the advice for the ARM issue, but no change?? Would anyone be able to help me out here - I just don't understand the interoperation of ffdshow MPc / codecs etc. It's all so complicated and I've never found anything to explain - you either know it or you don't. Thanks Alex
