Media Player Classic - BE Win32/x64

[VipZ]

Thanks for MPC-BE and with some testing have found 2 bugs,

1. SHOUTcast doesn't work both x86 and x64 builds, either through playlist or direct to HTTP stream, MPC-HC was tested in same clean OS and was working.

2. Trying to interact with the GUI as MPC-BE is launching a video file like changing the volume with mouse wheel will crash MPC-BE.

Here is the website for the SHOUTcast streams I am using, http://www.181.fm/index.php?p=mp3links

Here is what I did for a temporary fix for SHOUTcast playback, took the ShoutcastSource.cpp from MPC-HC and correct ifdef to REGISTER_FILTER and compile, works perfectly.

O -> Playback -> Auto-zoom

Can you describe in more detail your actions and the problem itself

Sorry I wasn't too clear on this and put steps in detail below,
1. Make sure "Use the preview in the search" is enabled.
2. Ensuring MPC is closed launch a video media file via file association, the bigger the file and slower the disk the better to catch this.
3. Before MPC has had a chance to load the media file and display a video frame, attempt to change the volume as quick as you can with the mouse wheel.
4. MPC window should now stall and crash.

I have confirmed this that is happens 100% of the time on multiple systems providing you catch it on time. Disabling "Use the preview in the search" will result in no crashes in the above steps.
I have also noticed other crashes if you interact with the GUI as media is loading but this one is random and cant put down steps to reproduce but I assume this would be the same bug.

Thanks, there is also a cosmetic issue that would be nice if it could be fixed.

The option replace file name with title in the title bar to use the meta-data providing by SHOUTcastsource which is is currently only viewable via properties->clip.

Also it would be a nice option if this could also be applied to the seek bar file name option.

Thanks.

I may as well make more bug reports today

There has been a long standing bug with file association ever since custom icons where introduced. If you use cmd's /regall, /regvid etc it doesn't honour the AssociatedWithIcon registry key and act's as this was set to 0.

MPC Audio Renderer doesn't output any audio when set to WASAPI in shared mode. Tested with multiple audio outputs and settings. Also in exclusive mode there is a bit of hiss until you seek which then clears it.

Thanks. Any chance for an ICL12 build? MPC-HC MSVC 2010 SP1 are not utilizing all of the threads of the latest Intel processors if using other decoders like ffdshow raw, LAV Filters, and so on. TIA.

At the moment there are three MPC versions on this forum that are hot correct?

1. MPC-HC
2. MPC-BE
3. MPC-HC with internal renderer fixes

How do I know which version is the best/is right for me? For info: I will use MPC only for playing full Blu-Ray rips in .m2ts or BDMV structure folder formats and occasionally for playing .mov 1080p trailers from HDtrailers.net. I want to use madVR as renderer and LAV filters also but I suppose this is possible with all three versions.

[the_weirdo]

If you intend to use madVR as renderer then you don't need "MPC-HC with internal renderer fixes". Main differences between MPC-HC and MPC-BE are interface, and some addon features of MPC-BE. There may be some differences about internal filters of the two, but you want to use LAV Filters so that doesn't matter. Which version is right for you? I think you have to find out yourself.

Ok, so if I use LAV filters and madVR as output renderer I m good to go with MPC-HC or MPC-BE? Can I see somewhere what kind of interface MPC-BE has? Is it much nicer than MPC-HC?

Hi,
I really like this version of mpc but there is one (for me) major problem: I use middle mousebutton to play/pause the video in all my players, but unbinding left mousebutton in mpc-be removes the ability to move the window when clicking in the video area. Any chance to "fix" that?
