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

Let me guess: LAV player.

We can only dream ;)

[pacemaker1000]

anybody got a way to launch MPC from within MCE for Bluray/sd discs?
running them so far from desktop with DvdFab and having to navigate to the drive which is frustrating and not family friendly

i have used mediabrowser for ripped stuff to launch MPC but annoyingly it wont give the option to run bd or even sd actual discs

[pacemaker1000]

is there an Argument that will tell MPC to launch whats in the dvd drive?

thanks

mpc-hc /? displays a dialog with command line options. Possibly interesting:

/dvd - starts player in DVD mode; an optional parameter may contain the DVD path
/cd - loads all tracks of an Audio CD or (Super) Video CD

Still, there is a decision left how to behave. And it doesn't check for any available media file on a data disk (e.g. DivX AVI on CD).

I believe you would like to submit only the drive letter as parameter, and MPC-HC shall decide on its own if it should load this media as Audio or (S)Video CD or DVD or media file disk?

@LigH
mpc-hc.exe e:
mpc-hc.exe e: /open
Usage: mpc-hc.exe "pathname" [switches]

"pathname" The main file or directory to be loaded (wildcards allowed)

@volt
Can you revert rev3808? It broke basic subtitle functionality.?

I do not see any problems. In older versions had problems with .ASS subtitles.

There is weird problem with subtitle font size setting. When I set "16", apply and than go back to settings there is in fact set "15". And it happens whit almost all sizes...
fixed in r3833.

[LigH]

Thanks, v0lt ... but "@ pacemaker1000" would have been more appropriate. ;)

That would be dream come true ;)

[nevcairiel]

I have no plans at this time to write my own player. There are for more important things to consider, like all those features documented on my issue tracker ... a list that isn't really shrinking!

MPC-HC BE mod has been brought up to scratch. The 3835 build can be snatched from xvidvideo.ru

Now maybe we can get it included in the SVN, cant we? :rolleyes:

Internal H264/AVC DXVA decoder still has BIG problems playing H264/AVC interlaced files while the NON-DXVA H264/AVC internal decoder has no problem with the same files
Can someone please take a look at this and fix this Interlaced problem once and for all

Sample (http://www.multiupload.com/JE8XZTCV5H)

[JanWillem32]

No problems here, the video is really heavy though, I need to disable some of my regular filters to run it properly without glitches. The first part is marked as "TV"-like interlaced 50 fps, the second part forces a weave deinterlacer (for 25 fps). http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/256/clipboard01ks.jpg/

First you're using your build so... :) but even so don't you get green spots and corruptions at the beginning of the file ? after that the file plays "better" (not perfect) for me too

EDIT Using "Video Render" instead of EVR or EVR-CP solved the problem so the culprit it's the combination of Internal H264/AVC DXVA & EVR or EVR-CP; any other combination e.g. EVR-CP and other decoder (e.g. Microsoft DTV-DVD Decoder) or internal DXVA decoder and "Video Render" it's working fine

P.S. I just tested your build too (default settings) and the problem it's still there (at the beginning mostly )

[JanWillem32]

I only get some lag from starting up the deinterlacer: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/13/grgrd.jpg/ . After that, everything is pretty normal. I don't have any visible corruption on screen. I've also tested the trunk build, it's pretty much the same. It's only really bad with initialization of scheduling. (It drops 5 frames on start, lags for quite a lot of frames after that, even while I'm not even using the heavy "VSync" or flushing options).

[Mercury_22]

For me this is how it starts http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/194/capturegts.png/ but then it gets better (but not perfect/good) http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/703/capture2md.png/ while using Microsoft DTV-DVD Decoder this is how it starts and continue http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/31/capture3gr.png/

[judelaw]

MBAFF... with ffdshow dxva and internal dxva decoder on ATI - almost always artifacts. It's normal :)

[JanWillem32]

That looks like the driver performs a zero-fill, as Y'CbCr {0, 0, 0} is a dark green: http://multimedia.cx/eggs/yuv-and-rgb/ . Normally, if a reference frame is missing, the driver first assumes a black frame (Y'CbCr {0, 128/255., 128/255.}), and then tries to patch things up with the partial-temporal image data in the delta frames. That's probably what's happening in my case and with the other decoders, but it's hard to test with such a dark first scene. I don't really know what part in the EVR DXVA chain could cause this.

I PM'd about it but he hasn't responded... Anybody in touch with Alexins, elsewhere perhaps?

[Keiyakusha]

I think the best place to find some devs is an IRC channel... unfortunately I forgot where it is located, maybe on freenode.

Since it's been a month and none of the builds to date solves my problem:

http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1532608&postcount=18272

... i simply ask again ;) :
I've got a strange behavior with Haalis Video Renderer, after going from (x86) build 1.5.3.3677 to build 1.5.3.3734. While using Haalis Renderer, the MPC-HC starts with a black screen. The playback is running fine (according to the audio output, the slider and timecode) - there's simply no video output visible. But when using the slider to jump through the video, i'll suddenly get an output :eek: .

(...)

Is it reproducible for others? Was there any change from build 1.5.3.3677 to build 1.5.3.3734, which could possibly lead to this kind of problem :confused: ?

[ryrynz]

I too experienced jumping problems with the BE builds.
Instead of jumping forward, it jumps back to the time when the jump is initiated.

Can someone also look at the BE mod code and find out why it prevents small and medium skipping from working properly?
or let me know who I can pass the bug along to? It's been four months since I mentioned it and seems like it would be an easy fix.

I believe it's been less than a week since someone clearly stated BE is something completely different and not "supported" here at all - which kinda makes sense, given the mod part.

This bug isn't from the GUI part of the BE mod, but the ffmpeg/swscale changes I think. Using the patch/builds from Blitzker posted has no such issues.

[bozek]

The way I see it the BE mod aint that different from the 'official' release. From my point of view I spotted three key features that make it a better player than the classic one:

1. cute, round and border-less window
2. ability to force 0-255 Output Levels on FFmpeg
3. different set of icons for different filetypes

I'm kind of surprised MPC-HC still uses the ancient win98 look... As for #2 and #3, they shouldn't be that hard to care of either, right?

EDIT: I'm not experiencing the jumping problem any longer. I believe it was fixed several builds ago ;-)

[ryrynz]

Yeah I know, but with talk of merging the code I figured it was a good idea to bring it up.

It's your lite builds I'm interested in, any chance you could look into it sometime? Thanks.

*Actually don't worry your build is working fine for me*

STRING IDS_SHADERS_SELECT_SCREENSPACE can be removed from translation files since it is no longer used. By the way can someone commit our work from https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/ticket/1579 :) underground78 is on long vacation I guess.

[v0lt]

@kasper93
RC file is not needed. (\src\apps\mplayerc\mpcresources\mplayerc.pl.rc)

We need a modified TXT file. (\src\apps\mplayerc\mpcresources\text\mplayerc.pl.rc.txt)


to English-speaking
What do you think about renaming?

pre-resize pixel shaders -> frame pixel shaders | frame shaders
post-resize pixel shaders -> screen pixel shaders | screen space shaders | screen shaders

[Hera]

Both are equally confusing.

[namaiki]

I think pre and post-resize is easier to work the meaning out.

[Superb]

I think pre and post-resize is easier to work the meaning out.Completely agree.

[v0lt]

If we are removing "pixel"?
pre-resize pixel shaders -> pre-resize shaders
post-resize pixel shaders -> post-resize shaders

[nevcairiel]

The name is pixel shader, not just shader.

[LigH]

Originally, it was named "Fragment Shader"; but that didn't sound advertizing enough.

Meh, speak for yourself. Though, there's nothing wrong with adding some more skins... I mean, one doesn't have to swap one look for another.

I know and I meant TXT files. (\src\apps\mplayerc\mpcresources\text\mplayerc.rc.txt) String in the line 1743 is no longer needed after rev. 3841 so it can be wipe out from language files and
resource.h to keep that files clean.

Anyway, thanks for little polish translation updated in r3841. There are a few more changes in the file attached to the ticket and we (me and haix) would be glad to see them also included sometime. ;)

In the installer have various skin options.

Is there some obvious reason why EVR-CP will not work with Intel HD Graphics 2000? I've tried several revisions over the course of 4 months and nothing has changed, always get a black screen on playback. EVR works though.

[clsid]

The internal DXVA decoder is not compatible with the integrated graphics of the Sandy Bridge processors.
Try build 3851 or newer. That might solve the black screen issue. If not, disable the internal DXVA decoder.

[Wodde]

I have a (maybe stupid) Question:

When i load a Bluray, MPC HC selects automatically the longest Videotrack on the Disc.

So far, so good, this works in 95% of my BDs.

But on a few Discs there is a Extended Version or an Extra Track which is longer than the MainMovie, and this Track is loading instead of the MainMovie.

For Mediaportal there is a Plugin named BD Handler, which allows my to choose which Videotrack i want to play.

Is it possible to integrate such a Function into MPC HC?

Thanks in Advance.

[Tiduz]

rev 3851 gives me vertical stripes in dark scenes, not black lines but kinda transparant.

am i the only one with the problem?

i only see them when i go fullscreen and i use a ati hd6850

[namaiki]

What items are present in the menu 'Play-> Filters' when you have that video open in MPC-HC?
Also, please post a non-resized screenshot of the issue.

[LigH]

@ Tiduz:

Did you activate automatic contrast enhancement (or whatever it is called) in your ATI drivers? Don't do that...

[Tiduz]

no i have disabled dynamic contrast

the problem with posting a screenshot is i only see it in full screen, maybe i can use print screen to show the issue instead of the build in screenshot taker, ill try that
heres a sd screen, it also happens with HD tho.

I have updated my MPC-HC BE builds with the new r3855 sources. You can grab it while its fresh here http://www.mediafire.com/?nbb4gclb828ax ;)

(I tried a new gcc build for this one (4.6.2) and so far, it seems to behave as good as the xvidvideo.ru gcc 4.6.1. Feel free to give some feedback if you experience problems while using it)

[disto]

Hello i have a question is it possible to add gamma correction slider in mpc-hc for EVR or MadVR render.
