Bugreport:
1) seeking the file I linked still doesn't work. If playing from the start, the cursor moves, but if I move the cursor, it plays the file from the start. If I pause after a while, it resumes fine.
    [with cursor I meant the progress bar of XMPlay]
2) when playing from a .mkv, the vis windows tells "no GDC file loaded". Maybe you could split the message for video and lyrics?

Didin't check anything else.

Video display is just for CDG. No other kind of video will be displayed.

It's not decoding audio from AVI.

Post that avi so i can check.

+added video output option. Please select the video visualization to see video output.

Download link: recheck first post.

It's really cool! At the moment works only with MKV videos with slow refresh rates and sync issues... but I can't ask for more. YOU ARE AWESOME!

[Ionut Cristea]

 It works with avi and other formats too. Just remove from blacklist avi and mpeg files:P

UPDATE: BLACKLIST REMOVED. IT WORKS OK NOW.

Just one little tiny thing:

Is another resize method available for the vis? (Just like the multiscaling modes from the XMPlay Cover Vis).

No is not.

Also i recommand setting the visualization refresh rate at 40 or higher.

Glaad to see this plugin progressing.
Still some considerations:

1. High CPU usage when decoding video. 720p video takes 50% CPU, while my video setup uses only 20%.
    I use no HW accelleration, so there's something strange, like 2x decoding? Maybe it affects audio decoding too?
    Positive note: if I close the video on the vis windows, the decoding stops and the CPU usage goes down, so it doesn't waste CPU.
2. As Nicolas @ b&f said, A/V desynch is bad. I can't really be of help here. Be aware it can be tiresome stuff to do.

@Nicolas @ b&f : gimmie that skin! XD

1). It takes so much because it uses GDI to draw video, but in the future it will use D3D, so you'll have 18-20 %.
2). I will post an update tomorrow

Guru! Master! Idol!
I'll wait for the next update.

is it able to play DVD format ?

ok, avi and mkv containers works nice, specially with audio. Video too but not full screen where the performance fall down so much. Anyways I LIKE THIS !!! keep the good work and give to the best audio media player the video playback !!!

DVD is not supported yet, but you can load video from video_ts folder

I've un-blacklisted the AVI container in the XMPlay settings, but then when I try to open one (to play it with this plugin), it crashes XMPlay. I have tried files with and without audio. All of the files successfully play in Windows Media Player (using the stock Windows codecs). I know two of them use the "MJPEG" video codec (which is little more than a really fast slideshow of JPEGs for the video stream), but I believe ffmpeg supports this, so it shouldn't make a difference.

[Ionut Cristea]

Please upload files that dont work so i can test

[Wes]

Where should I upload them to?

[Ionut Cristea]

  Any upload site and tell me the link

[Wes]

Here is a link to one of the files: http://www.mediafire.com/watch/w5gw99j9vk3mf35/book_1.avi. The other two files I tested are personal files of footage taken from a digital camera (they are the ones I mentioned that use the MJPEG codec).

[piovrauz]

mmm, that mjpeg looks strange. sure it's a mjpeg?

[saga]

He said that the other videos are MJPEG.

[piovrauz]

tch. I'm getting old.

Thank you very much for this plugin!
