Apparently you can use EVR on Windows XP SP3 with this small tweak
can anyone confirm. i can't :( (no H/W Accel & DXVA Support on my PC)

To get EVR working on Windows XP SP3:
1. Make sure .NET 3.5 and 3.5 SP1 Installed.
2. Update DirectX 9 to the latest redistributable.
3. Download & Unzip. http://www.embedupload.com/?d=4ROIBFISMW
4. Run the Install batch file.
5. Reboot PC.
6. Go to MPC-HC > Options > Playback > Output > Set to EVR.

Windows XP supports DXVA2 just fine, once you've installed .NET 3.0 (or newer). But the GPU driver must support it, too. E.g. the current ATI drivers support DXVA2 deinterlacing and DXVA2 VC-1 decoding in XP, but not DXVA2 h264/MPEG2 decoding. Don't know about NVidia.

And also - try sample from ticket 1804 - https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/ticket/1804 (after that "fix" error - we have green bar in x64 build).

Everything is fine now. Sample from ticket 1804 also works with lav splitter.

Could you please add more space for IDS_MPEG2_DEINTERLACING string in MPEG1/2 video decoder setting window because it is impossible to translate deinterlacing to shorter string than "usuwanie przeplotu" in my language and this get truncated. I realize that it will look a little bit worse but I think that drop down menu can be on the right side. What do you think? Screen: PL (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16282309/MPC-HC/pl.Mpeg2DecSettingsWnd.png), EN (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16282309/MPC-HC/en.Mpeg2DecSettingsWnd.png), patch (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16282309/MPC-HC/Mpeg2DecSettingsWnd.cpp.patch)

Second thing is a drop down menu in MPC Video Decoder http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16282309/MPC-HC/MPCVideoDec.png Strings are truncate in almost every language. Something similar to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a66b856s%28v=VS.100%29.aspx would be nice. At least works fine for me :) But there is still truncated string when list is closed.

I think that a few strings in PPageFullscreen.cpp should not be hard coded - Column names and "Default", "other" in first line.
Yesterday I wrote about dropdown width and today I realize that there is a function for that in PlayerListCtrl.cpp.
Anyway could you add to ShaderCombineDlg.cpp. CorrectComboListWidth(m_combo, GetFont()); Shaders may also have long name…

Revision 3808 - Directory Listing
Modified Fri Nov 4 17:01:58 2011 UTC (4 weeks, 1 day ago) by v0lt

Fixed some subtitle location when the frame size is smaller than the screen. Patch by janwillem32 (tickets #1828, #1829)This entry caused the function of "Top" and "Bottom" to be compromised when "Position subtitles relative to the video frame" is enabled. The two settings don't have any effect then.
When "Position subtitles relative to the video frame" disabled "Top" and "Bottom" do function properly, but I, and I think a lot more people, don't want those ugly large subtitles when watching in fullscreen. I tested this with rev3807 (XhmikoR) (http://xhmikosr.1f0.de/mpc-hc/old/x86/MPC-HC_r3807_x86.7z) and rev3810 (XhmikoR) (http://xhmikosr.1f0.de/mpc-hc/old/x86/MPC-HC_r3810_x86.7z).

P.s. a cosmetic thingy: the alignment of "Colors & Transparency" its boundaries at the bottom is 1pixel off ;).

kasper93

4th December 2011, 16:16

You are third person who reports that in this thread :)
Here is JanWillem32's answer:
@fastplayer: I'll take that one. I was wondering about it too. So far, I've only seen a few posts in this tread about this feature, and no other comments. Some more user input is welcome. To quote myself:Extra adaptation for aspect ratios over 2 was added for when "Position subtitles relative to the video frame" is enabled, indeed at the cost of usage of the margins setting. (RTS.cpp, line 3208)
Changes to this feature are open for discussion, just like any other part of the subtitle renderer. I don't mind changing things. (I've seen that I need to patch a few minor inaccuracies of the formatted text parser soon, anyway.)(The other patch is in the mean time ready for integration.)

fixed location of non-style subtitle, when the width to 2 times greater than the height (partial rollback r3808)Didn't even know that. My video's width was indeed 2 times the height. I can confirm that this subtitle issue doesn't happen with videos where the width is smaller than 2 times the height with MPC-HC < rev3884.

I had grown to like that "feature". I didn't initially, but then it made sense to use different placements for 16:9 and anamorphic formats.

5th December 2011, 18:56

Could someone please have a serious look at MPC-HC its parsing capabilities of m3u-files (SHOUTcast). Where as Zoom Player can play all radiostations (mp3,aac,ogg) you throw at it, MPC-HC fails miserably! (http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/ticket/1562) Also ZP wasn't perfect at first; it couldn't parse m3u-files pointing to radiostations broadcasting in Vorbis audio, but that's all fixed now. Perhaps contacting bLight (ZP lead developer) wouldn't be such a bad idea.

dansrfe

6th December 2011, 08:58

Can someone please explain to me how MPC-HC "pauses" a live SHOUTcast mp3 stream and starts to play it back from the same spot where I paused it. Does it start saving the stream to a temporary mp3 file? If so does that temporary data automatically delete once I close the instance of MPC-HC? How can I potentially use this to save the data to an mp3 file for playback later on? Thanks.

Hi!

Thanks! I tested this build. It's worse than the trunk svn builds. :( I also tried the alternative mode, but it did not make a difference. Also this alternative mode always launches videos in full screen mode even if i don't want it to do it.
And another thing: with this build, internal video decoders are not working when using Haali Media Splitter.

Also i just spotted an interesting behaviour, every build is producing it: when subtitles are displayed, there are spikes on the graph, but no visible glitches in the video playing. Is this normal?

It would be nice if you add to Shoutcast source filter function to parse name of stream http://antywawamp3-02.eurozet.pl:8600/;stream.nsv and set window title with name of stream instead of URL. Also in filter list it should show name of the stream or filter instead of URL.

I don't know if you've noticed my post on the previous page, but after having thoroughly tested the MPC-HC SHOUTcast Source Filter, at the moment I really wouldn't recommend using it! It has a lot of issues. The DC-Bass Source Filter plays your stream just fine.

Hello. I made a primitive support for selecting playlists from BD.
They can choose from a menu - Navigate-> Jump To ...
The time limit - not less than 1 minute.

http://aleksoid.tosei.ru/Test/mpc-hc.BD_Playlist_test.7z

Tested it with a few chaptered MKVs and it works fine.

But you are supposed to use an ellipsis (...) after a menu item, only if additional steps are required after selecting it (i.e. it brings up a dialog). That's a problem with View->Presets... too, btw.

mpc-hc is great for video playback, but what about music? Parse ID3 tags (now only title and author are supported), show title instead filename in a playlist, search for audio-cd track title, maybe even display the cover if it is included would be a good feature in my opinion. Too bad that I'm not a programmer, maybe someday…

I believe for that you need to have internal stream switcher to be on.

mpc-hc is great for video playback, but what about music?

For music you have fb2k. Or songbird if you want opensource. I believe there are even more alternatives that I'm not aware of.

way more to offer? what?
If we compare it to fb2k, then aside from minimalistic interface that both of them have, there is nothing that mpc-hc can offer to the user on the same usability level. Features, that are not absent entirely, are way limited. "playing some audio file" is possible, "listening to music on constant basis" - only if you are masochistic enough. Even playing some file can be hard enough since it doesn't supports many popular compressing formats without using directshow framework.

@Nev Calibration discs usually have ~1 minute mpls for test patterns and I can't see a reason why it bothers anybody that 1 min mpls are present in the list you can select the playlist you want I think it's more important to have all the mpls so we don't miss anything

Thats no true. There will be multiple small m2ts on the discs with low durations, yes, however there will be only 2-3 playlists of full size (one for each edition). There won't be 1m playlists, because that would be silly, you don't want to play those extra footage alone.

Playlists less then 10 minutes are of no interest to me, because even on TV series discs, those are either extras, or some sort of intros or stuff used in menus, which i never care about.

Hence, make it configurable, it'll be the best for everybode.
