This audio stream - can playback only with LAV Audio Decoder, ffdshow - no sound. Internal MPC-HC AAC Decoder don't support decode this track.

MPC-HC crash fix - rev. 3692

[v0lt]

This faad2 problem.
MpaDecFilter, ffdshow-libfaad2 don't support decode this track.
LAV Audio, ffdshow-libavcodec play this track.

FIXED : Ticket #1519, Crackling/stuttering audio in some DTS for SPDIF output

Thanks for fixing this!

[STaRGaZeR]

Okay, it seems that the problem is caused by r2637. Why was autozoom disabled when "Remember last window size" is enabled? They're perfectly compatible with each other. Disabling it is not a solution for tickets #293 and #678, but a workaround (no more option, no more problem, instead of fixing it).

#293 is unrelated to this, and #678 is a problem with the option not being properly saved in the ini.

Should I open a ticket or post a patch instead to get this fixed/reverted?

[Underground78]

Yeah open a ticket and CC me, I will try to have a look when I'm back from holiday if nobody does before.

[Eliminateur]

What's the status of DXVA for SB GPU, specifically for Gxxx series?, is it still disabled?
if so, which was the latest build to have it enabled(so i can use it)

I thought it was disabled because it was crashing ?

[Eliminateur]

i remember something like that but nothing else, and since i'm going to be building a htpc based on that gpu i need to know which was the last version that had it enabled, crash or not i rather use it than having it disabled and enter low-fps hell

[WonderCsabo]

Auto-loading external files no longer works for me with the svn builds. Anybody?

[STaRGaZeR]

Done in #1690. I think I properly CCed you.

Thanks!

Hi to all.
Test please - http://aleksoid.tosei.ru/Test/mpc-hc.exe_new_hot_key.7z
Change settings for Hot Key, no more select from list of key - just press the key combination and "Apply".

Oops, it's working, i screwed up something. Sorry guys.

It was disabled in r2928.

Looks like it works quite well but for some keys I don't get the correct characters (mostly when trying punctuation marks so it's probably no big deal).

[Aleksoid1978]

What key ???
I think it's more better, then we have now - select from LONG list with many value ...

[Underground78]

What key ???

Well all punctuation marks I think. For example ; give me /.

I think it's more better, then we have now - select from LONG list with many value ...

Sure, I totally agree with that (I was even planning to add the exact same feature). The only problem I see is that it makes a bit more difficult to delete a binding (currently it seems that you need to press a modifier key without any other key so that the binding is deleted).

[ramicio]

Could there ever be an option to display the Chapter number and name on a file opening (first chapter) and then display each chapter number and name on the fly when the player reaches each chapter point. Either in the status area or the OSD. It's the nice thing about hardware disc players, you know what chapter you are on because it at least displays and changes the number on the fly.

[ageback]

Rev 3701.
Shortcuts.
ESC should restore to previous hotkey but not keep modified one.

cool, going back to that build then.

btw: why did it crashed?, any updates on the matter?

If you mean you're building a PC based on a Sandy Bridge generation CPU, you're not gonna see slow-fps at all. The CPU should be plenty powerfull enough to do software decoding. Heck, even my C2Q does that without breaking a sweat.

[Eliminateur]

for a Pentium G620 with no HT, no turbo and "low" clocks for 1080p content with FLAC audio?, i have my doubts....

[saint-francis]

A 2 core, 2 Ghz C2D will play 1080p with FLAC no problem. I know this form personal experience. As I understand it all SB processors are 4 core so I don't really understand where your skepticism comes from.

[Eliminateur]

i have a 3GHz C2D and it won't play 1080p smoothly with RGB32 HQ output, deband, soft subs, etc(100% cpu usage almost constant), i need to yank it to 3.6GHz to get somewhat stable fps, with close to 95% cpu use
SB ain't all quad-cores, Gxxx and i3 are dual core, only i5 and i7 are quad

Ahh the proverbial cat out of the bag: Now you come up with some filtering or HQ conversion routines you do or use.

I'd say a C2D and your Gxxx will decode and play 1080p with audio and softsubs without filtering ect.

But if it will do the filtering is the question at the same time ? I'd guess yes on a 4 core SB generation of CPU, it'll work.

But that doesn't mean the DXVA problem doesn't need fixing of course. But it does mean that you don't have to let your project depend on the fixing.

With DXVA, you cannot use those post-processing filters anyway, so disable them and see if its running smooth then. :p

Just open the informations panel, the chapter number is written there.

[mindbomb]

edit:nvm

[ramicio]

Do you mean the one under view, that is ctrl+3? If so, that doesn't pop up anything for me. The status area shows the chapters and name, but ONLY when you seek to them. It makes it pointless to even have a chapter 1.

[CruNcher]

Is it possible to leave the Video being displayed in the Background with Aero peek ?

Hmm I'm not sure to understand, the chapter number won't really pop up but at least it will be updated real time during playback.

[CruNcher]

Hmm if you push Keyboard 1 in Aero (no interface) also the OSD Navigation interface in Fullscreen gets lost (no Playback bar,ff&fb, no volume controls when moving the mouse) :(
And with Keyboard 2 minimal interface the Video Window can't be used to drag and Move the Video around (clicking in the Video Window stays start and stop instead of like 1 no interface becoming drag and move you have to right click and drag with the left bottom Navigation GUI interface for that task :(
It doesn't really makes sense to leave 2 in the same start and stop on Video click behavior instead of switching into the drag and move behavior of Keyboard 1 too, as the navigation window (including play and stop) stays visible, but only be able to drag and move with the left navigation bar instead of drag and moving the Video Window like with Keyboard 1 ? :(

Also there is a problem if you unsnap it from Aero snap (left,right and top) from that bottom navigation GUI the main window is moving away from the cursor onto the top Screen position still can be moved but far to high on the screen while the mouse cursor is on the bottom of the screen location (far away from the actual Main navigation where you started the drag from) :(

@aleksoid: after r3700, how can I asign the "None" hotkey to a command? For example, if I don't want any key to trigger the play/pause command instead of "Space", what should I do?

Thanks, both of you. Missed the right click menu :)

Could somebody take a look @ this issue with the default Settings EVR custom and Sync Microsofts DTV-DVD Decoder and the Intel HD 2000 Decoder (Sandy Bridge)

http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1522460&postcount=5126

also Optimal Render Settings seem not be usable for Intel Playback you will just get a black screen with any of the floating point and or RGB options.

[namaiki]

What if you disable EVR Custom Pres' VSync option? (Press 'V' and refresh rate should show up as zero)

[CruNcher]

It seems to become even faster and so slideshow duration becomes less :(
though it's funny if i move the Window around while playing back it plays relative normal but i have to continuously move it around to see continuously frames being rendered on the Playback Surface also the Diag Display gets updated then, still overall playback is much to fast ;) (Though even in this much to fast playback mode it renders less frames then with Aero on)

Also EVR sync does much better in several occasions (especially when moving the surface around the screen) but on this sample it flickers (frames get discarded)

Evr Custom has a tendency to slow down playback when moved around EVR sync doesn't show this (same with Aero On but much more heavy turning Vsync off helps considerably)

PS: If you let Aero enabled and if you move the Window around playback stays absolute smooth with EVR Sync no slowdowns anymore though the sample issue remains Evr Sync = Flickering Evr Custom = Slideshow and Evr Custom seems to brake totaly apart on Aero it shows severe Performance issues rendering the whole window trying to move the Window becomes a slideshow itself on Aero while playing back (but it depends on the streams actuall Framerate and Desktop Refresh rate) turning off Vsync on Aero fixes this with EVR Custom :(

On Aero with Vsync off the sample also stays a slideshow only when moving the Playback Window it updates though still too fast like with Aero off though much more performant on Aero speed wise (more updates occur when moving the playback window then with Aero off in the same time) ;) :(

So Aero is indeed a neat thing on a IGP at least Performance wise :)

It seems to work fine on the previous gen Intel GPU. Unfortunately, I don't have SB based PC to test. I believe the video decode engine changed quite a bit in SB.

[namaiki]

Ah, my mistake. It seems I only tested with Haali Media Splitter and MPC-HC's internal splitter. With LAV Splitter, I can seem to reproduce the video "go" "stop" "go" "stop."

Tested with (though it probably doesn't matter now):
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 (SP1)
MPC-HC 1.5.3.3704 32-bit and 64 Bit (xhmikosr) (EVR Custom Vsync = on and off)
Lav Audio
Lav Splitter
Microsoft DTV-DVD Decoder DXVA2

Intel driver 2021 (can't upgrade)

Can anyone please test the .wmv clip under "An hour-long session on Fiddler @ MIX2011 can be streamed from here." at https://fiddler2.com/Fiddler/help/video/default.asp

In MPC-HC the video plays choppy/stuttering, while in WMP it plays correct. You can see in the screen-in-screen in the video.



Video: Windows Media Video 9 960x540 29.97fps 926kbps [Raw Video 1]
Audio: Windows Media Audio 44100Hz stereo 64kbps [Raw Audio 0]

MPC-HC default install from K-Lite codec pack 7.7.0

Whenever I open an HD wmv file (especially 1080p) it plays fine at the beginning and DXVA seems to be working when I check on it in the filters (VC-1 Bitstream) but whenever I try to skip ahead the player will freeze for a little bit, not respond, and then have to be closed. 720p files seems to play fine but occasionally when I skip ahead the player will pause for a second and then the video will skip ahead with the video sped up until it catches up with the marker. I'm using EVR Custom Pres. but switching to EVR or EVR Sync doesn't change anything. Any tipes/advice would be appreciated.


My Specs:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5800+
3GB RAM
Windows 7, 32 bit

Hmm I'm not sure to understand, the chapter number won't really pop up but at least it will be updated real time during playback.

I don't have the chapter display at all unless I use the seek arrows. It would be cool to have it automatically pop up as an OSD, but without the times the chapter spans.

Wow is Aero more efficient then the Internal Vsync ?
the more i use this on the Intel IGP the more im impressed with Film content on 60 Hz :)

With Aero disabled it jitters like crazy with Aero on its a dream :)

Aero On Vsync OFF
