Media Player Classic version 6.4.9.0 bug

[hartford]

There seems to be a portion of MPC v6.4.9.0 that stays resident after closing.

It is about 200K in size.

I don't know how or why, but it prevented me from doing an e-mail, ie, click on webpage to send an e-mail, but e-mail client is somehow blocked from starting.

When I started Task Manager, I found multiple instances of resident MPC.

I can't say that this fixed the problem (removing via Task Manager the "instances") since I've sent e-mail to this particular address by other means.

However, I did have a problem connecting a second time to an internet broadcast when "clicking" via web browser; it wouldn't start. If I put the address directly into MPC it did start.

In general, I reboot my PC about every 2 weeks. I became suspicious and viewed the Task Manager where I found 11 instances of MPC running (200k each).


My OS:

Windows 2000 SP4, all updates as of Feb 2006.

Happens sometimes when Media Player Classic hangs. Sometimes prevents opening of new instances. Just kill it.

Bugs are bugs.

You're suggesting that I should ignore or not report bugs?

Of course not, Josip Tosic has suggested that you can do this way while it has been fixed ... :)

I have a avi file with H264. I choose "Repeat mode"
After Media Player Classic finished playing the file, it play the file again but It only play audio and don't play video. If I t click "pause" and click "seek bar" , MPC will play all.
I try to play this file with JetAudio and WMP but no problem. Only some avi file which MPC can't re-play

I'm running into this bug when playing bigger slideshows (+ 10 min) from DVD slideshow GUI as previews(.avs scripts) getting it to hang.

Are there any workarounds which doesn't include the Task Manager?

Or should I try to find another commandline .avs(avisynth) videoplayer?

Are there any you would recommend?

[foxyshadis]

I prefer zoomplayer way over mpc, because it can actually seek through scripts. (MPC just gives me a grey seek bar.) I don't use it otherwise anymore though; hmm, I wonder if its pro license is transferrable.

[celtic_druid]

Well there's always mplayer.

[tin3tin]

I don't zoomplayer will allow me to include it in the DVDsGUI install.

Hmmm I can't get mplayer to play avs files - can it really do this?

[celtic_druid]

Yes it can. Requires a patch for audio support. Works ok here.

[tin3tin]

Hmmm... I can get it to play avi but not avs - anything special I'll have to do?

[celtic_druid]

Nope. Should just work. What build are you using. Because that it is possible that AVISynth support isn't enabled.

edit: Ok, it doesn't like your avs files. Thought maybe because of the complexity, but even with only 2 slides it won't play. Works in ffplay though.

Doesn't seem to like AddAlphaBack, even though the function is not used. There are other functions that it doesn't like either. Remove enough and the avs plays. Maybe also no longer causes problems with MPC though.

[tin3tin]

Do you have a link for ffplay?

[celtic_druid]

Comes with ffmpeg, requires a patch and uses AVSredirect. So basically in this case it would just be an SDL frontend for AVSredirect. Might be better to incorperate some kind of AVISynth preview directly using AVSredirect.

[tin3tin]

The gui is coded in wxbasic, which doesn't support usage of dll's, so unfortunately I'll have to go for some sort of avs commandline player.

Where do you get those reports of errors in the DVDsGUI avs file? Just in the promt with mplayer? Strange because I don't get any errors using those avs files anywhere else.

Tin2tin

[celtic_druid]

No errors. Juse ripped the avs apart to see what is up since I know that mplayer can at least handle simpler scripts. Certain lines just caused it to not play the script. No real logic to it.
