Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC-HC) - DXVA!

[click2]

That's not VMR-7, that's Video Renderer. And funny that you even have a video considering his shows don't have video.
Is Haali Renderer called 'Video Renderer'? It seems to mention VMR-7 in the control panel for it (right-most screenshot).

The show does have video - it's a still frame every few minutes with a photo and the name of the track on it, taken from the official site.

After a quick glance, the new translation system doesn't look that great for now, but ok, it's not final so hopefully it will get better. Just in case you didn't notice that yet, it doesn't find changed strings, only removed or added. And how will it handle situations where a dialog/control needs to be resized to fit a longer string?
The new system should simply present translators with a list of strings to translate, all the "code" is stripped out.

The RC files are auto generated and as such require no action from developers.

The script is supposed to pick up the changes to strings too, so i'll ask around to see whats going wrong

About sizes. we will make some(all?) boxes bigger so more text will fit, but that size will be fixed.

[khagaroth]

Why not switch to gettext then? Less hassle for you (simpler maintenance, excluding the initial need to mark all translatable strings and adding all the support code of course) and less hassle for translators.

please give me more info about your finding, and did you try the latest script? changed something. If still so, please provide me the sample, let me check what the problem is. :thanks:

[khagaroth]

A way to reproduce - just change some string !!!BUT DO NOT ADD OR REMOVE ANY!!! (important, it will pick up the changes otherwise) - result, it won't pick up any changes.

[khagaroth]

Another thing to consider is how to handle a case where the translator needs to fix some string, like fixing a typo, replacing it with better translation etc.

[Hera]

I think the new Nvidia drivers eliminated stuttering with Full Floating Point Processing.

Now I can
D3D + FFP + 0-255 +10-bit RGB input
on Nvidia ION. Needs more testing though.

The purpose of script is to pickup changed strings in mplayerc.rc and then copy it to locale rc files, so if you change something in locale files, yes it will not be copied. But you are right about only change value in stringtable of mplayerc.rc will not be copied, cause it will just use locale string values. That may be changed if this is common scenario.

The patch file generated is really simple, so if you want to refine translation later, right now you can mimic the syntax, provide new patch file, and run patch.bat to patch it again. But I do admit we need a script to automate this step, thanks for the tip.

[khagaroth]

Any change in the template should be picked up no matter if it already has any associated translation or not. After all, if the source changes, it's possible the translation has to change too.
That's why I suggested you to ditch the idea of reinventing the wheel, and use some tried system like gettext, where someone already did the job of covering all the various translation related problems.

[akapuma]

Hello,

is it possible do insert a play-list as a favourite in MPC-HC? I found no way with MPC-HC. If I insert the play-list in the registry, then it works fine:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gabest\Media Player Classic\Favorites\Files\Name0\Zarah Leander;0;0;M:\Zarah\Zarah.m3u

If there is no direct way, than it is my feature request.

Best regards

akapuma

You're half right here. The script can easily be changed to pick up any changes, just now I missed that. And about the gettext, I'll be happy to ditch my script if it works now. But till then, this is a dirty solution better than nothing.

[tetsuo55]

gettextWork on gettext is also continuing, we just could not keep waiting for it, so we have this intermediate until then.

If you know anything about implementing gettext feel free to help out! :thanks:

No, what's happening is that your video is being decoded into the wrong color format (like NV12 or something) and so MPC-HC has to fall back to another renderer. For Haali Renderer to work, make sure you're outputting as RGB or YV12 in the FFDSHOW settings.

[djsolidsnake86]

the hand when i go with the mouse over the video, where is in latest build? :D

[bobdynlan]

the hand when i go with the mouse over the video, where is in latest build? :D Nobody told you not to touch pictures, paintings, LCDs, electrical panels and so on? It was better suited on the seek bar anyway :))

[Tsukihime]

Can developers make an option to hide the menubar, and press "Alt" to show it？just like firefox or IE...

[STaRGaZeR]

Just remove the freakin' hand once and for all. It looks bad, MPC is not some link you wanna clic :p

[sansnom05]

It seems hard to make everyone happy about almost any GUI changes, so please let's agree to disagree if someone don't like the cursor changes I recently made. :thanks:

Carnivalish interfaces are for WMP 11 and 12,
not for MPC-HC. :sly:

Media Player Classic HomeCinema (x86/x64), 1.4.2604 (http://www.xvidvideo.ru/media-player-classic-home-cinema-x86-x64/media-player-classic-homecinema-x86-x64-1-4-2604.html)

Changes (2600-2604): (http://www.xvidvideo.ru/logi-izmeneniy/log-izmeneniy-media-player-classic-homecinema.html)

fixed: don't scroll to end when using ctrl-A in PinInfo/MediaInfo tab;
fixed: rcfile.pl script misses stringtable's changed values.;
Changed cursor behaviour in different cases. This commit fixes ticket #791;
fixed: use the hand cursor on the toolbar button only;
changed: use the hand cursor for the volume slider;
replace weird keys in key list with standard names. This commit fixes ticket #647;
updated changelog

[Hera]

EDIT:
FFP Processing still laggs. This is noticeable (extremely so) during panning scenes the most, a stop -> go pattern. This is not detected on the ctrl-j on screen info or renderer info. Although, wait for flushes disallowed me to get more than ~24 FPS on a ~30FPS 1080p. :(

1. Set D3D Fullscreen Mode
2. Open File
3. Use page down key to open to next file in directory.

Actual Behavior,
MPC exists fullscreen, then enters fullscreen again and starts playing file

Expected,
MPC remains fullscreen, starts playing next file

Intermediary step is rather displeasing, makes little sense.

[hoborg]

Problem report:

Not sure if somebody reported this before.
MPC - Mpeg Splitter (rev.1.4.2599.0) have problem to detect correct AAC stream in *.TS recodings.
For example this sample (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/downloads/04-12_01-42-50_TVNZ7_TVNZ_7s_overnight_information_service.ts.zip) have AAC (HE-AAC LATM) audio track (i think it should be subtype "{000001FF-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71}", but MPC - Mpeg Splitter report MP3 subtype "{00000055-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71}"

EDIT:
Looks like it already have similar ticket (https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/ticket/101)...

[nevcairiel]

I don't think LATM is supported at all.

[Kado]

@Hera
MPC exits fullscreen because it has to rebuild the graph and in exclusive mode it is not using mpc standard video frame but forced fullscreen "window" that is only used when a video is being played, the normal frame is always there. you can see this because in exclusive mode you can have the video playing in one screen and the mpc window in the other screen (using windows 7 shortcuts to send the "normal" window to the other screen like Windows+Shift+left/right arrow when mpc is in focus)

[clsid]

Has anyone noticed the following issue?

When opening a file from explorer, MPC sometimes starts playing the video very fast, while the audio plays at normal speed. It occurs randomly and happens with different video formats (xvid, h264). Last time it happened it enabled the statistics view and noticed it was playing at 60fps. Judging be that specific value, I suspect that perhaps the refreshrate changing code might be interfering with normal operation. Note that I am not using any of the fullscreen/refreshrate options. The problem occurs during normal windowed playback.

[namaiki]

This has happened to me when I had added FFDShow Video into the External Filters list. No idea what was causing it.

Yes I've had this issue lately. Running on windows 7 32bit MPC-HC build 2561.

Noticed that it usually happens with MPG/TS files

It would be interesting to know if the refresh rate in the stats are shown as "-1,#IND0" or "-1.#IND0" when this problem happens, and if it only occurs with EVR Custom. This sounds very similar to a problem that started in one of beliyaals betas. See this post and the next few posts after that:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1276634#post1276634

I know beliyaal added fallback code for improper refresh rate detection at least a couple of times after these posts, but I don't think it was ever 100 % fixed, which is the main reason I prefer EVR Sync, because this has never happened to me with EVR Sync, but it did happen the last time I tried EVR Custom over a period of time. I don't know how to reproduce it reliably, since it seems to happen randomly/occasionally when EVR Custom is used.

So if this is the same problem, I think it's almost certainly related to failed refresh rate detection in EVR Custom.

Could you implement an option for ''streamed song playback''. I'll explain in an example - I've ripped songs from CDs, but some of these songs are meant to play exactly one after the other (there's no gap on CD) but, when ripped, there are, of course, more than just ''one long song''. But when MPC-HC switches to the next song in playlist, it, of course takes some time, so there happens a gap. It would be nice if you would implement an option for MPC-HC to start internally decoding the next song whilst the first one's still playing, so it could seamlessly rejoin the songs together (as on the CD). Well, if it's not possible with encoded music, at least it could be possible with WAVs, wouldn't it?

[hoborg]

Hi.
I think MPC-HC should now use DirectShow to play *.MOV files by default instead of QuickTime.
What do you think about this?

[DigitalLF]

desert.katz: that is called "gapless playback" and if your album is riped to lets say 10 mp3 files its not possible to my knowledge but if they wore riped to 1 big mp3 file with a cue file it is possible with other players but not with MPC-HC and they do not want to make it happen.. :/

[nevcairiel]

I can't speak for anyone else, but imho, mpc-hc is a movie player, not a music player. I'm sure there are mp3 players that can properly play those gapless.

Why not? Wouldn't it be just necessary to pre-buffer the next file on the playlist (when it's reaching the end) for it to be able to play it gapless?

[Betsy25]

Is it a known missing feature that MPC-HC does not detect and show subtitles added with AviAddXSubs ?

In the "details" tab of the properties window, no sign of any subtitles. The "MediaInfo" tab shows them as below, and I see them when played on the PS3.

Text
ID : 2
Format : DivX Subtitle
Codec ID : DXSB
Codec ID/Info : Subtitle in AVI from DivX networks
Width : 720 pixels
Height : 576 pixels
Bit depth : 4 bits
Stream size : 2.38 MiB (0%)
Title : Subtitle - nl-xx;02

[XhmikosR]

Yes. It's not supported.

[v0lt]

I have the same opinion.

[NanoBot]

I would also like to see gapless playback of music files in mpc-hc while I can unterstand that this is not a top priority for the devs. Nevertheless it is possible to circumvent the missing feature by muxxing all titles of an album into a mka-file and adding chapter marks for each title.

[Betsy25]

Yes. It's not supported.

Hi XhmikosR,

Do you have any idea if it would (considered to) be implemented in MPC-HC ?:o

[Kado]

I have the same opinion.

+1.

I use MPC-HC for video and Winamp for audio. Winamp can support cue files, rar albums, gapless playback etc with proper plugins.

[Inspector.Gadget]

I have the same opinion.

Agreed.

[Px]

Am I miss something, and player's name not Media Player Classic - Home Cinema, and Movie Player Classic - Home Cinema? :rolleyes:

[sansnom05]

I think it's ok for mpc-hc to suck at gapless music playback, cause WinAmp can play video and it sucks at it. :)

A friend of me has exactly the same problem with the new 1.4.2599 build, so it's not my system.

[XhmikosR]

Hi XhmikosR,

No idea, there's already a ticket for this.

[Silent Rain]

Hi guys!
Version 1.4.2499.0 of MPC HC is simply amazing!!! But how about the MENU on the Blu-Ray (BD)? It will ever be implemented?

First of all not everyone speaks Russian. Secondly, use the trac (https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/wiki/How_to_Report_Issues) to report bugs if they are not already reported there.

[niksus]

I'm having a problem with subtitles in MicroDVD format (.sub / frame dependent). When I jump forward/backward the displaying of subtitles goes wrong.
If I just click somewhere on the seek bar, a single subtitle is shown that doesn't belong there (it's not even an adjacent subtitle) and afterwards everything goes back to normal. But if I jump forward using keyboard shortcut and even abuse it (as I do often when I'm bored with a movie :) ), more "ghost" subtitles appear in the gaps between the normal subtitles. Sometimes the situation never goes back to normal.
And this problem goes way back. I'm currently using 1.4.2612.0 x64 and it's still there.
Is it a known issue?

[Silent Rain]

Ok, add links on MediaFire + create a new ticket (https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/ticket/802) ;)
