I never thought a software like Media Center 17 could ever exist, let alone be written. I wonder why, after some 5 years dedicated to HTPCs, I didn't give it a chance before. I can really tell you have a deep commitment for quality.
In fact what brought me here was the possibility of using ASIO, both for music and video files, along with DSP filters, above all DRC. Now, seeing that you have even added your own Convolver to the stack is giving me chills. Media Center is all what I've always wanted from a HTPC and much more.
Now, after the due praise, I'm asking for your help.
I'm still new to the forum, I searched a bit but couldn't find the answers I'm looking for to solve my current problems and I'm too excited to wait and see if they come out so I'm going to pose specific questions. If the questions have already been addressed somewhere else please forgive me and point me to them.
1. I love CoreAVC and saw I could include it into my configuration through the Custom Video Mode feature. I wrote a rule by making use of the condition field filled out as follows: codec(h264); codec(vc-1).
The problem is that CoreAVC doesn't kick in no matter how I specify the codec name, be it (h-264, h.264, H264 etc, I tried many combinations). The only way to make it work is to change those conditions in a more simple container(mkv). Obviously that condition doesn't seem so neat nor comprehensive. I would really prefer to specify the codecs there. What am I doing wrong? Is there a list somewhere of the supported codecs that can be typed into the condition field?
2. I have several hi-res music files (bought at HDtracks.com site) converted from FLAC to ALAC format - up until today I always used iTunes to play them. Most of them are even 192KHz/24bit but none of them play at all with Media Center. They just produce a sort of white noise when played. I don't understant why that happens. The Output Format filter is unchecked, I'm using the Asus Xonar ASIO driver, 32 bit-depth, 50ms latency. What's wrong with those files?
3.Is there any chance of seeing a routing option to front speakers under Room Correction filter when applying a crossover frequency? Now the available choices are: remove bass, move bass to sub, copy bass to sub.
Thanks in advance.
Guys you ROCK, hard.
