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

[JanWillem32]

That's not completly true; denoise worked for me back then, but indeed, the other transformation functions result in a black screen when enabled.

I've said that ONLY "Enable dynamic contrast" it's not working with 10-bit RGB !
It was a recommendation for the others settings

Edit: If someone can tell me how to capture the screen with stats (Alt+I it's not working) when MPC-HC is in D3D Fullscreen Mode, beside an external camera, I can post an image (SnippingTool also not working)

[janos666]

I believe that the OSD indicates 10-bit. But can you see any difference?
I think it would be hard without high bit depth test patterns, or heavy post-processing like significant gamma correction. (But there is no CMS in this old version.)

Yes I can see a difference between 10-bit RGB enable and 10-bit RGB disable

AudioBoost remake3:
* "Boost" slider now works and displays from +0.0 to +10.0 dB (x1.00...3.16). In setting the values recorded in decibels (0,0...10,0).
new:
* Changed the settings window "Audio switcher". Now labels fit in all languages.
* Fixed translation of "Boost:" in Slovak. ("Zvýraznenie basov" -> "Zvýšenie:") Need confirmation of correctness.
* Fixed a bug in Russian translation.
* Slightly cleaned the code from ANSI structures and functions.

Can you also please add volume level for every channel like in FFDshow ?

[XhmikosR]

Thanks for the report.

Another news: Marti Maria fixed the lcms2 bug which caused bluish screen with the Absolute Colorimetric intent. -> Can you (devs) include the latest GIT version of lcms2 in the next MPC-HC SVN code?

It's already in since yesterday in r2755.

Feature request:

Add compiled date and time in the about window, like ffdshow.

Might happen in the future, or sooner if someone provides a complete patch for this.

Wow!
Is possible to install a simple parametric equalizer?

[Mangix]

Thanks for the news Mercury_22, I've been waiting for months on a working new driver. Let's hope for the the 10-bit path to open soon again, I liked it a lot in the past.

i was under the assumption that 10-bit required dx10. or is that only in exclusive mode?

[Px]

Try on other MPEG2 Decoder that support DXVA - MS Internal in Win7, Cyberlink and compare.

Possible that Intel bad work with interlace material.
Unfortunately, tested graphics was in NB, which is not mine, and owner already take it back. I'll try next time...

[janos666]

Sorry. I checked it out right now.
The Absolute colorimetric intent was too bluish.
Now, it's VERY brownish (with some yellowish and reddish tones across the gray-scale). :confused:

[XhmikosR]

Well, if it's a bug in lcms you should contact the developer of lcms. Nothing I can do, except for reverting the commit.

[Skauneboy]

I can't get MKV's with TrueHD to work properly in MPC. All I get is audio static and video playing very, very slowly. Video and audio plays fine if i switch to a secondary, non-TrueHD audio track. No problems with WMP or VLC. I've tried both haali's splitter and MPC's internal matroska splitter to no avail. MKV's are made with mkvmerge 4.4.0, with or without header stripping makes no difference. Suggestions?

[janos666]

Well, if it's a bug in lcms you should contact the developer of lcms.

I did. My previous e-mail caused this current "fix" and I wrote another e-mail today. :rolleyes:
But it's also possible that there is a bug in MPC-HC too. That's why I reported it here as well. (Littlecms needs inputs to be able to do it's job, and the targets can be erroneous, etc.)
We will see more after the next turn.

[JanWillem32]

i was under the assumption that 10-bit required dx10. or is that only in exclusive mode?

10-bit requires a request to the display driver, and usually D3D Fullscreen mode. DirectX10 and 11 can use up to 32-bit RGBA in a conventional way.

This I can not and do not understand why they need it in audio switcher.

I have a question? MPC-HC use DataExecutionPrevention really helpful in developing it? but windows media player not use DataExecutionPrevention!
PS: i make a codecpack ,but my codecpack user not like MPC-HC use DataExecutionPrevention!

[Ingram]

I have a problem with H264 encoded video taken from some HD-DVDs.

I've tried a complete MKV made with MKVmerge, and I've tried just the H264 video stream. With MPC-HC's own DXVA, and FFDShow's DXVA, both play back the file, but every 4 or so seconds there is a flash back to a previous frame, it's a weird glitch, but it doesn't do it with just FFDShow decoding the video (non-DXVA). I believe that if I skip forward in the video it stops doing the glitch. I don't quite get what's happening? It doesn't happen to my VC-1 MKV's I've been making.

Ideas?

EDIT:

Ok I have done some more testing.

I grabbed the latest SVN of MPC-HC to see if it might fix it, alas it didn't infact in causes some weird aliasing issues?

Anyway, the file plays fine with FFDShow software, as well as using the PDVD10 Video Decoder with DXVA turned on. So I don't understand why MPC-HC's inbuilt DXVA isn't playing nice?

Here is the info for the file.

[clsid]

I have noticed a bug in the latest MPC-HC. Skip to keyframe (Shift + Left/Right) does not seem to be working at all.

[namaiki]

Seems to be working in 1.4.2765.0 as far as I can tell. (tried some random xvid video in avi)

[clsid]

Found the reason. It only works with the internal AVI splitter.

[Kazuya]

Hello !
Is there any chance the OSD looks a little... nicer ?

This colors are really freaky ! :p

Following up this. I have tried a transport stream and raw h264 file and still the same thing in MPC-HC. I have even converted the entire HD-DVD to Blu-Ray with clown and still the same thing. But if I play it in PDVD10 it's perfect, or if I use the PDVD10 video decoder in MPC-HC it's also perfect.

:(

Ingram, what's your graphics card and the specs of the video?

[Ingram]

Ingram, what's your graphics card and the specs of the video?

This is happening on my Ati 5670 (Cat 10.10) and my Ati 3200 HD (Cat not sure... ). Both are more than capable of doing DXVA for H264.

specs of the video, I attached the info above, I'm not sure if there are more stats I can give you with something else?

All I know is that it's from a HD-DVD, it's H264 encoded, and it's 23.976FPS.

This might help too:

(MKVInfo) | + Codec ID: V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC
(MKVInfo) | + CodecPrivate, length 58 (h.264 profile: High @L4.1)
(MKVInfo) | + Default duration: 41.708ms (23.976 fps for a video track)

But remember that it does it even without being muxed to an MKV.

[namaiki]

Thing is, I can't even read the specs since the attachment hasn't been approved. (not that I could particularly help about the issue anyway)

Hi,Today, My friends zhfi make a patch for mpc-hc audio Track Switch In the MPC-HC's menu bar like kmplayer or potplayer!
Why is it needed?
Why this function is needed in the context menu?
The player already has a balance function and custom channel mapping.

[betaking]

Many Chinese users prefer to set up here in the context menu!
:) And if I only update this code applied to the private sector build the mpc-hc. Each sync mpc-hc's svn code changes a lot of trouble after the contrast!

[betaking]

patch update .
Set the name of the audiotrack to audiochannel.
And this option should be set in the custom channel mapping in the time before the speaker for the opening of 2!

I repeat. Why is it needed? For what great purpose should be so quick to switch channels?

a useless feature.

[Superb]

MPC-HC 1.4.2769 (xvidvideo.ru vs2010 x86):
When the player is at Compact or Minimal mode (pressing 1 or 2 in the keyboard) and NOT showing in full screen, clicking on the video doesn't pause/resume it.

Is this an intended behavior or a bug?

Features may be useless, but I think it is stupid fast operation of the! Because the majority of video users in China are a lot of play left and right channels of a bilingual video!

This is intended cause those two modes have no caption bar to move window around, so you can click & drag to move it. Right now you can only use Space to pause/resume video in those 2 modes, but this can be changed in the future. :)

Thanks for your effort to contribute code for mpc-hc. One thing important though: source file is not the best way to provided patches, better way is to use any source control software for generating .diff/.patch, you should mention which revision you patch is against too.

[janos666]

Well, if it's a bug in lcms you should contact the developer of lcms. Nothing I can do, except for reverting the commit.

I talked with Marti Maria. He says that MPC-HC is actually using MS ICM instead of LittleCMS! :eek::eek:
He tested my ICM display profile with lcms and he says that it's ok. But he has brownish image with my profile when he uses the latest MPC-HC.

So, the current hypothesis is that this problem exists on your side.

But it's strange that colors shifted after you updated the lcms code. There should be some kind of correlation and he must be wrong with this MS ICM idea. :rolleyes:

Single-monitor system can't exit from fullscreen mode pressing alt+tab, win+tab and win key. (non-d3d-fullscreen mode)

Can only press Esc key, alt+enter and d-click(mouse).

I vote to add the audiochannel patch, its really usefull (but again due to chinese background)

Also Catalyst 10.12 is out, some interesting changes, for one DIVX DXVA should get enabled on 6xxx cards, anyone have one so they can show the id with dxvachecker?

it also updates openGL to 4.1.

I don't use D3D Fullscreen so I never see that. Seems functional enough, though.

edit: the one at the top is fine...

[Kazuya]

I'm talking about the OSD on top of the screen too.

Functional yes, but in a hometheater which looks like a real theater with 3 meters width screen it's a real disaster ! :rolleyes:

MPC wants to be the BEST player ever, I think it has to make a little make up to really access to the top ! ;)
