Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) - v1.7.13

[mindbomb]

why not just replace the isr with xy subfilter completely? or is that planned?

I just updated MPC-HC to 1.7.1 from sourceforge to see the internal HEVC codec and how well it runs on my computer.

I was however suprised to see that the tv tuner functionality actually works now. I have a Leadtek Winfast 2000XP Expert tuner and it never worked right with previous versions and with VLC and other players. Now it actually works.

There is however a small issue and I can't seem to find any way to fix it: the framerate is locked to 29-30 fps while I'm in PAL land and my tv box outputs 25 fps. Basically I can watch TV but it keeps stuttering due to the framerate.

Any suggestions about fixing this?

(tv box from isp outputs s-video/composite through scart , i'm connecting the composite to composite in on the tv tuner, audio through line in )

Made some screenshots of the filters involved and a snapshot of the main mpc-hc window with the view > renderer settings > display stats text on top of the page to see the stats.

Have you set country in options?

[mariush]

I didn't even check before but yes, it : see picture

Don't know if it should matter because the filter defaults to composite in + audio line in and that input can normally accept various framerates and the card supports both ntsc and pal so it must support 23.976, 25fps, 29.97 fps etc etc ...

I should be able to select the framerate somehow.

Unfortunately for now only embedded subtitles are supported, external subtitle files such as SRT are not supported until we decide on some architectural design issues relating to it.

Unfortunately we're not satisfied with the code quality of XySubFilter, it will be difficult to maintain for us if it were to be abandoned.

But don't worry, we're working on improving the performance of the ISR so that it should be fast enough for the complex animated subtitles that are becoming the norm.

I was watching this ep of HIMYM and noticed the video didn't feel very sharp. Took a screencap here: http://i.imgur.com/DWedBLX.jpg

What might cause this? Source is 720p TVrip, player is MPCHC 1.7.0.7851. Looks like the default video decoder is LAV but I haven't touched it.

[nevcairiel]

Did you consider that the encode is just bad?

[mindKILL3R]

Actually I did, haha. Just forgot to mention it in that post.

I did get the file off a tracker (wasn't just a random P2P download), but that wouldn't necessarily guarantee a good encode, so who knows.

No further help to be given on this due to rule 6 violation.

I'm having an issue opening h264 video (any container it seems) via an Avisynth DirectShowSource script with MPC-HC. Well it's more than an issue. I can't get it to work no matter what I try. I'm not really sure when it stopped working. Same problem with MPC-HC on two different PCs (both XP). MPC-HC displays an Avisynth error message:

DirectShowSource: Renderfile, the filter graph manager won't talk to me.

The same script will open fine using MPC-BE (it results in two Haali Media Splitter and ffdshow icons running, which I think was normal), so could this be something to do with the switch to LAV Filters? I've tried disabling MPC-HC's internal filters and adding the ffdshow video decoder as a preferred external filter, but nothing has worked so far. I've even tried changing renderers.

Other methods such as FFVideoSource and AVISource seem to work as they always have (even if the source file contains h264 video).

If it helps any, after attempting to open a "problem" DirectShowSource script with MPC-HC and then using the Play/Filters menu, there's three filters listed as follows (in this case the source file was an MKV containing h264 video):

Video Mixing Renderer 9 (renderless)
Color Space Converter
AVI/WAV File source

Repeating the process with MPC-BE (which successfully open the script), shows these three filters listed:

Video Renderer
AVI Decompressor (YV12)
AVI/WAV File source

Thanks in advance for any help.

is there a solution to this yet?

preview from HD capture card can work pretty awesome with EVR Custom, I can play from xbox in 1080p60 from 1080p60 capable card.

but I cant record. -((
is there any combination of record settings that works?

thanks

Hello all,

I've been using MPC-HC for years. I've been having a problem since a few days and I can't find the solution.

The EVR CP renderer has suddenly started being slow, ie, it takes 4-5 seconds to start a video on launch. Things to consider :

- This behaviour is new, has been happening for a few days, but I am almost positive nothing special happened on the PC (no new CG drivers, no hardware / software changes...).
- Selecting other renderers (for example Haali), videos do start instantly, so it is really EVR CP - specific.
- Have tried updating to the latest MPC-HC (1.7.1). Didn't change anything. Player itself launches instantly, but there is a 4-5 seconds lag before video starts playing.
- This only applies to the first video being launched. If I hit the "next" button, the next video will start playing immediately.

For reference, my setup is Win7 64bits, MPC-HC 64 bits, nVidia 560 Ti.

Do you guys have any idea what could be causing this, and how to solve it ?

Thanks for your help. I know it shouldn't, but it's driving me crazy.

[Pulstar]

The shaders have profiles now, awesome. Can we next please have resolution conditions so that for example 720p and above videos do not load the sharpen shader?

Does this only happen with a single file or video format or does it happy with every video?
Are you sure nothing changed on your PC? Things like Antivirus or Windows Update do things in background. Check your event logs, Taskmanager etc for anything fishy. You can try to reinstall DirectX and do a "SFC /SCANNOW" from the command line as admin.
