It is, clsid is the one doing those updates, there's no development just the odd bug fix and optimization etc.

Hey clsid, could you make it VS2013 compatible?

[vood007]

Only thing i would ask for is updated ffmpeg/libav at the time when HEVC becoms relevant. I really hope someone finds time for this. I would donate some money to support that.

[clsid]

LAV Filters provides superior decoders and already supports HEVC.

ffdshow is NOT getting updated decoders/encoders. Due to API changes it would require major rewrites of the code. There are no developers interested in doing that. Period. End of discussion.

[foxyshadis]

You might have more luck working with Hendrik to graft some of FFDShow's more useful features onto LAV Filters. Alternately, it's always possible to chain LAV->FFDShow Raw if you want to use them.

[kolpotoru]

why all vfw coddc are disabled ? Please re enable them.

[LigH]

Because they caused issues in the 64 bit version of ffdshow. They still work well in the 32 bit version of ffdshow.

[kolpotoru]

Ok there may have been some problem with 64 bit but why the vfw codac like mpeg4,xvid,h263 etc are not available in 32 bit version of latest ffdshow. Please re enable them.

[LigH]

Read back a few dozen pages. It had been decided so long ago to clean ffdshow up and remove hardly used codecs because they were too generic and by far not superior to the final separate implementations. Only really unique and superior implementations of codecs are left. If you still need the others, you may find completely outdated versions which still implement them.

@clsid,
Hi!
Thanks for holding the fort! I've been quite busy (suing Microsoft and winning and other tales )

Are we 100% sold on the subtitles pin changes in rev. 4495?
It's limiting my ability to enable subtitles mid-playback.

while I realize it might seemed odd to enable the subtitles input pin when the subtitles filter is disabled, it did save a lot of trouble enabling them later.

Sorry I'm getting there just now,
I appreciate your thoughts on this,
Tal Aloni

If the framerate changes with avisynth it outputs the input fps instead of the output. Any chance of sending the correct fps on output?

[clsid]

@tal
Configure your splitter (Haali/LAV) to use "off" as preferred language. Then it will select "No subtitles" by default for embedded subs. Then you can leave subtitles enabled in ffdshow.

@turbojet
If someone submits a working patch, then I will gladly commit it.

[Deihmos]

Is it possible to disable auto loading of external subtitles? It does not look like I can.

Confirmed! Still funny though, again this only affects MPC-HC, unlike Zoom Player and alike.

Btw, haruhiko_yamagata, thanks for your time.

I know the post I'm quoting is rather old, but Google led me to it.... and this thread.

I've been trying to use ffdshow filters with Avisynth via the ffdshow plugin (which is in the Avisynth plugins folder). I'm having a similar issue.

When ffdshow installs the Avisynth plugin, the "ffdshow.avis" script contains this:

try { Load_Stdcall_Plugin("ffavisynth.dll") }
catch(err_msg) { NOP() }

It'll autoload ffavisynth.dll if I open a script with VirtualDubMod, but when I open it with VirtualDub I get an error stating there is no function named ffdshow. I can open a script with MeGUI, but when opening it with MPC-HC or MPC-BE I get the same error.
The fix from the post I quoted works. If I change the ffavisynth.avis file to the following I can open the script with any program:

try { Load_Stdcall_Plugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\ffavisynth.dll") }
catch(err_msg) { NOP() }

Anyone know why the ability to load the ffavisynth.dll with the original avis script seems dependant on the program used to open the script?

I also have a couple of other questions.
According to the info I read, if an ffdshow preset isn't specified in a script, a temporary ffdshow preset called "ffavisynth" (or something similar) will be created. This doesn't seem to be happening. I need to specify an existing preset in order for it to work, by adding ffdshow to a script like this:

ffdshow("default")

A long time ago I was using the ffavisynth plugin and recall when ffdshow() was included in a script, the ffdshow window would automatically open with the usual filters list while the script is being previewed. This isn't happening. I need to open the ffdshow video decoder configuration manually in order to use ffdshow's filters.
I also recall any changes to ffdshow's filters would be applied in real time. For instance I could adjust the brightness and see the effect as the script was being displayed with MPC-HC, but currently I need to change a filter setting, click on "Apply", then reload the script before I see any changes.

Am I remembering the above incorrectly, and is the ffdshow plugin working as expected?

I'm using ffdshow version 4527 but I've also tried version 4500 and they both seem to work the same way. I'm running XP SP3.

Thanks in advance to anyone familiar with the avisynth plugin.

[clsid]

You can solve the problem by adding the AviSynth plugin folder location to the %PATH% system environment variable.

How do I stop ffdshow from handling the Language menu of Windows Media Player (mplayer2.exe/msdxm.ocx) and allow it to be managed by Haali Media Splitter? Ffdshow adds a single entry there with the format details, and stream switching is impossible. I have unchecked the option "Add tray icon menu to player's stream/languages menu". Enabling it makes no difference. Tray icon is also off.

Problem: ffdshow-haali-lang-bad.png

With FFdshow disabled: ffdshow-haali-lang-good.png

Older versions of Ffdshow, like rev.3154, didn't have this problem, but the new one enables more formats.

I'm talking about the plain old media player. I am using it because it allows stream switching one click away as opposed to a sub-menu. I also have MPC-HC in DXVA mode with serious limitations, and am swithcing between both players, depending on whether I need DXVA or high quality subtitle processing or other filtering (in ffdshow).

ffdshow 2013-01-06, rev.4500
Haali 1.11.288.0
Windows XP SP3

[clsid]

Fixed it in rev4528. The streams menu option must be kept disabled.

You can use multiple copies of MPC-HC with different settings if you let it store its settings in an INI file.

[Deihmos]

Where is rev 4528? No one know the answer to this?

Is it possible to disable auto loading of external subtitles? I don't want to disable subtitles but I don't want English subs loading for English movies.

[ryrynz]

Under generic builds buddy.
