@Shakey_Jake33
Do you actually have a plasma? Grey never causes burn in. Only solid white or black.

@boyumeow
It's not running 24/7 that causes burn-in, it is the contrast between black and white for those static areas of the screen.

@Merlin7777
I don't know if you read my first post, I am watching 4:3 on a 16:9 display, there are no black bars to crop out. Only zoom/stretch which destroys the picture. Yes, I have a 2004-era plasma if you wanna call that old. Leave a static image on any plasma long enough and it will BURN IN, no matter how new your plasma is.

@Casimir666
If you can be so kind and include my request on your next release? I am asking for a simple option to change the black background of the video window to maybe an RGB hex# in the ini file, doesn't even need to be in the options menu. I prefer control over color to having a border=0 option for minimal view. But either one would work for me. Thanks in advance.

And what about adding skin habilities to MPC ?!)
MPC look is a little bit "old" I aggree, and a lot of people ask for a new one. But for the moment it's not on my top priority list

Ps: what about the GC memory bug ? is it solved ?
( when user ask for to much frames in memory )
You mean when EVR buffer is set too high? If so it's not fixed. On my machine it work with 20 so i don't know where the problem is :(

Casimir666,

Is it possible to use the shaders in VMR9 with YUV data instead of RGB data? It would be great because this way we could perform the YUV->RGB conversion with some shader code, instead of letting VMR9 doing it wrong (sometimes)...

I have been looking at DX sdk docs about it and the YUV mixer mode has the data in YUV. Could we apply the shaders to this data?

Thanks.

Edit: I know we could always revert to YUV in the shaders by performing a RGB->YUV conversion, but the idea is using the original source YUV data.

Okay, this request is going to sound odd...

But I was wondering if the MPC inbuilt UDP reader could be modded/configured to have a longer buffer/timeout period?

Reason is that the player sometimes doesn't 'wait' for enough data to come via multicast before assuming that there's only an audio stream, or a video stream, or nothing.

Thanks for your time.

Hello all. I was asked by clsid to upload a clip of an FLV video with ADPCM audio to see if it can be updated to allow it to be demuxed correctly:

Upload a sample file and post it in the following topic:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=123537

Then maybe Casimir666 can update the FLV splitter to recognize this audio type.

I have attempted to play this file in Media Player Classic (and also in Windows Media Player 9.x) and it will not play the audio track (it does not recognize there is one). However, it does play with audio in SMPlayer (which I think uses the libav splitter to demux this file).

Here is a link to the file (I'm sorry about the trial watermark/etc, to recreate a file with this problem, I had to use trial software):

Test FLV file (http://arden.netfirms.com/test.flv)

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated

Does anybody know how I can change the icons for my movie files? All my AVI-, MOV-, MKV etc. are just some grey icons now, like if they are not known files :(

I want that awesome MPC logo to be applied on all my movie files (AVI, MKV etc.). Any thoughts about that?

ArdenDag

26th October 2007, 19:07

That is done within Microsoft Windows, and is different based on which OS you have, however...

Open your "My Computer". Go to Tools/Folder Options/File Types, pick the type you want to change the icon for, then click advanced/change icon. Go to where mplayerc.exe is, and select it. Voila.

26th October 2007, 19:41

Thanks, but I already know that method^^ It takes so long to do it that way, by changing icon for all movie files one-by-one... And btw, the logo I want isn't the one on mplayerc.exe, but if you go to Options -> Player -> Logo you'll find what I want :)

So, the thing I was wondering about was if it is a way to make all the movie files change icon at once, like you can do in Zoom Player for instance. There you choose "apply icon to selected", and all the selected movie files gets the Zoom Player icon, only I want the MPC Logo ;)

26th October 2007, 20:11

Although it should automatically do that to any file it's associated with.

The logos (png images) are NOT the same thing as an icon (.ico file). But you can create an icon file from if you want. Get a program like Microangelo and import the png image.

ArdenDag

26th October 2007, 20:40

@Shakey,

It should but it doesn't. I know first-hand.

@Dannyboy,

I didn't know that was the icon you wanted, it's not listed in mplayerc.exe? I see a logo similar to that as the first icon listed inside of mplayerc.exe... I'm confused.
Oh, and btw... in the two posts you listed here, you asked how to change them, but you knew how to do it manually one-by-one, you mentioned it taking so long, however in the time you read/posted/replied to this thread, you could have changed the most common of file types (AVI/WMV/MPG/MOV/MKV/FLV/MP4) already...

@clsid: Thanks, tried the program and imported the PNG-image, but I found out that the dock icon I created didn't fit at all. I had to shrink the resolution too much, so the details got ugly. But I found (http://htd.seesaa.net/category/3037681-1.html) a dock icon I liked (it's the one called "Media Player Classic", the coloured version long down). It was already converted to ico-file, so that was great. I also found a nice program called png2ico that I liked.

@Arden: Hehe, true true that I would already have been done by now^^ Now I have actually done it, with the new dock icon I found.

Theres one thing though I need to ask about, just wondering if it's possible; can I make a batch file (BAT-file) in XP that automatically register the dock icon I like to all video files I choose?

Something like this:
@Register "C:\MPC.ico" to "%eccho%AVI"
@Register "C:\MPC.ico" to "%eccho%MKV"
@Register "C:\MPC.ico" to "%eccho%WMV"
@Register "C:\MPC.ico" to "%eccho%MOV"
I have no idea what the code should be, it's just an example^^

MPC-HC v1.0.11.0 has introduced a bug/ undocumented feature not present in MPC-HC v1.0.10.0

in .11 pressing my keyboards volume up/down keys results in both the windows system volume being changed and also undesirably the MPC volume also changing, this does not occur in .10.

Going to "Options > Player > Keys" and removing the "App Command" settings from "Volume Up" and "Volume Down" should fix that, I think...

np: Prefuse 73 - Pitu (Interregnums)

You probably have DirectVobSub (aka VSFilter) installed. You should add the two of them (one is the Autoload version) into the MPC External Filter list, and set them to Block.

@ Casimir666 or clsid

Please consider this request for a small change: Can you add a way to set the window border to Zero for MPC in Minimal view? That is the easiest way to play 4:3 on a 16:9 display without stretching or zooming. Thanks in advance!

Please give an example of a video and screen resolution where this would be useful. Because I think it is a pointless feature. Either the whole MPC window fits in your screen, or the video height matches that of your screen, in which case you should just use fullscreen.
Using Fullscreen, Keep Aspect Ratio and Touch Window From The Inside together should play any video with any aspect ratio at the biggest size possible without cropping or stretching the video - so yeah, what's the use of a zero width border? :confused:

I hope this is the right thread (or someone can help me with this...)

I've been trying to use the "Home Cinema" patched MPC build to playback h.264-encoded MKV files, and having my Nvidia 8600 accelerate it, hopefully.

I've read that enabling "EVR/Vista .net" mode will allow the Cyberlink filter to do its thing. However, whenever I enable EVR + Cyberlink Decoder Filters, it locks the player up completely. It does not move, it does not play anything.

When I enable libvacodec in FFDShow again (and lose any hardware acceleration), EVR seems to work.

What could be going wrong here? Is there a problem with playing back MKV + h/264 + Cyberlink Decoder Filter + EVR?

You may have just chimed into this discussion, but I have a problem when there are black bars on the sides of 4:3 video when displayed on a 16:9 PLASMA screen (fullscreen, keep AR, touch inside). I can burn the black bars into the PLASMA as I watch for hours at a time. Instead, I made my desktop background color to grey, and I run MPC in MINIMAL mode and stretch its window to the full height of my 16:9 screen.

@ clsid & casimir666

See attached excel file of my propesed changes to MPC. thanks.

You can also just move the window so that the border falls outside the visible area of your screen.

How about View=> Pan&Scan=> Scale to 16:9 TV or Zoom to Widescreen to eliminate Border which bothers U, thks.

6th November 2007, 09:13

my 2 cents.. again.. for the "border=0" ..
i code, my work currently has no deal with "brain" (really),.. so i open MPC and in "minimal" watch/listen to some shows..

and it would be great to have such an option to "disable" borders in MPC.. (2pixels wide white(or due to themeing.. "not white") on each border seems to take more space,.. than border=0)..

You missed that I mentioned several times that zooming or stretching 4:3 on 16:9 is horrible to watch. I want to preserve 4:3 AR on a 16:9 display, without the problem of plasma burn-in from the black bars. (check earlier attachment for illustration).

Hi!

I just upgraded to Vista Ultimate.
I always use MPC, but something got wrong with the aspect ratio or resize (or whatever) when watching DVD.

Widescreen DVDs are all shown with two extra black bars at top and bottom. If I remember well, I didn't have this on my previous XP system.
I know about resizing, but than a huge part of the movie is missing from left/right. I tried full screen/touch windows from inside/keep aspect ratio but then the bars are there (see attachment). What can I do? If I set Touch windows from outside left/right are missing.

I have a 17 CRT display.

Is there something I can do, or I had window from outside enabled by default in XP that is why I didn't have this problem.

Regards,
gurabli

I don't have Vista but my guess is that u set up MPC using Vista's default video renderer - read VMR9.

change the renderer to either 'overlay mixer' or 'VMR7 windowed' for example (go to output settings of MPC) and u will have ur well know watch experience :)

Doesn't Vista hate RPC1 drives more than XP?

Anyway, if the drive is RPC1 Windows still keeps a region code in the registry that needs to be reset... that's why I actually prefer using an auto-reset RPC2 firmware for my drive - just put the machine into standby mode once and the drive is regionless again... :)

Deleting the reg key and rebooting is what I do usually. But it's been a while since I've done that. German DVD titles aren't inferior anymore to its original counterparts in terms of content, quality and release date.

Added and blocked both - the subs still come up, only for the embedded subs, using the patched Clsid version, with subtitles set to off in MPC.

Are there any other filters in MPC that should be blocked?

Are you using FFDShow? Maybe you accidentally enabled subtitles in it?

If you are using Haali Media Splitter, maybe you need to turn off Autoload VSFilter option too.

@Agarwal

YUV mixing seems to be broken on nvidia cards/drivers. I have the same problem as you with YUV mixing on my laptop with a 7600 Go. On my desktop, however, YUV mixing works fine, and that's with an ATI Radeon X800 XT.

My guess is that YUV mixing isn't supported properly in nvidia drivers and I bet they'll never fix it, since VMR9 is old stuff nowadays, EVR is more important.

Anyway, I use Haali's renderer, so I don't care much about VMR9. :p
