topfs2 / elan,

Thanks for the tip topfs2. Will lookup the patch at sourceforge. There’s an article /forum somewhere regarding this as well (i lost my history page earlier, can’t find it now)

Elan, thanks for your response, but do put this on the backburner for now as topfs2 said, it is a minority kind of thing and I do agree on this but yes, windows dll loading option would be fantastic as it will essentially be 100% like the xbox xbmc..

Again, thanks for the effort! These few months have been very exciting for a new mac mini owner!

I think the problem with the link above is that the url path is incorrect. The one below works:

Oyvind: There was a glitch in PollDaddy, but I think it’s up again.

mcbrems: Yeah, dn-0 is down. The owner is out here in my neck of the woods, and so is unable to bring it back up. Should be back by late tomorrow.

Chris: I’d like eventually to support Windows DLL loading for this kind of thing.

Cranial Lethargy: Excellent, because we do have wood floors!

I noticed the dn-0.com site has been down since at least 11pm PST Sunday night.

It seems that the dn-0.com site is currently off-line? (holland).

Chris it would include spending redicious amount of time for playing codecs that often a minority use. Also the implementation is less than ideal as it’s hard to have it be used as an embedded video source, as DVDPlayer, which lets us use overlays and such over. this works on xbox seeing is a, correct me if I’m wrong, very modified one.
If you really need it then check out the patch on sourceforge which lets you call external players from xbmc, not fancy and not as neatly packaged but you can’t have the cake and eat it at the same time

Everything is perfect!
But on top of everything, no matter how proprietary it may sound, why can’t mplayer be used to load RMVB and other closed source files? It works and satisfies a whole of people

Insistance on using dvdplayer / ffmpeg ONLY is my only gripe but nonetheless a wonderful piece of software.
