[Flac] Re: Illiminable DS filters for FLAC don't work

[Christian HJ Wiesner]

Tom,

Illiminables' filters work normally great, i have no idea why they dont 
work for you. Maybe a conflict with any other filter you are having 
installed ? If you are interested, we could do some bug tracking with 
Graphedit.exe , the main DirectShow debugging tool. Its from M$, but 
freely available, just google for it, there are various download sites 
listing it.

First thing to do is, reinstall the illiminable filters and see if it's 
working in parallel with matroska filters installed. If it doesnt, fire 
up graphedit.exe and do a 'file' 'render media' on any FLAC file. 
Graphedit should give an error message, or build a partial playback 
graph. Make a screenshot and send it to me, or to the list. This will 
give us the chance to insert various other filters manually, and see 
where the problem is.

BTW, we thought about adding the illiminable filters to our full pack, 
and remove CoreVorbis and CoreFLAC from it then. Main advantage would be 
to have Theora video decoding, and OGG playback. Unfortunately, both 
replacement decoders from illiminable don't work very well for FLAC and 
Vorbis coming from matroska container, at least last time i checked ( 
stuttering, probably caused by timing problems, as we output timestamps 
from our splitter filter ).
