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

[Aleksoid1978]

There's a bug in some of the latest versions, for some videos the FPS are more than doubled, e.g. with Theora Big Buck Bunny.


Theora playback fix;

[CruNcher]

they're a lot of different decoding problems with Intel SB and the DXVA implementation for @ least 2 of the 3 major BD codecs Mpeg-2 as well H.264 didn't test VC-1 enough yet :(

Mpeg-2 Progressive seems to work fine though Mpeg-2 Interlaced shows major distortions (stretched wrong resolution decoding results some frames appear ok but most are distorted and over half of the render area is gray) and H.264 even Progressive streams show very crazy green frames most of the time all frames are green actually, though seems stream specific some streams are quite ok and show only sporadically green frames or blocks :(

Argh now it gets more complex with the Mpeg-2 issue it's stream specific also :(

Both VLD decoded on the first analyze look no big difference @ all :(

here is a sample of the failing stream (made sure its also failing, ignore the name was something else) http://www.mediafire.com/?8u0sn24cfggx6dq

Mainconcept SDK9 DXVA also fails Potplayer, Arcsoft, Cyberlink DXVA seem to be DXVA implementations that can handle this stream on Intel SB with the DXVA VLD expected 2% Overhead (includes renderer)

Opened a directory full of music with MPC.
Started playing a flash game in Opera.
Every time MPC switched to next music file, Opera became unselected.

Theora playback fix;
I can confirm it's fixed with build 3975. :)

What about 5.1 Vorbis audio?

[aufkrawall]

The custom channel mapping also seems to be bugged.
I can't downmix 5.1 channels to stereo properly (some channels simply seem to be missing) and it doesn't save the setting of the number of input channels.

You're probably doing it wrong. Post a screenshot of your settings and I'll tell you what it is.
Or better yet set the decoder to downmix, if it has an option for that.

It seems to be an issue of LAV Audio Decoder, not of MPC HC or any of its components itself.

Fix at rev. 3876;
Great, thanks! :)

[nevcairiel]

It seems to be an issue of LAV Audio Decoder, not of MPC HC or any of its components itself.

LAV Audio doesn't do any downmixing, its rather unlikely to be the cause. :p

[aufkrawall]

LAV Audio doesn't do any downmixing, its rather unlikely to be the cause. :p
Does LAV support the custom channel mapping of MPC HC?
When I use the internal audio decoder I can set it up as the following:
http://www.ld-host.de/uploads/thumbnails/629b800e00d3efbda32f5b3c6aa3202d.png (http://www.ld-host.de/show/629b800e00d3efbda32f5b3c6aa3202d.png)
Result is proper stereo.

When I add LAV Audio Decoder and play a 6 channel file it always looks like this and I'm not able to change it successful:

[sneaker_ger]

It has to look something like this:
http://www.abload.de/img/audio_switchers2j1k.png
(LFE deactivated)

As I told you: you did it wrong.
Though this downmix is rather "rough", as this feature is more for channel mapping, not downmixing. Better do this in a decoder.

[aufkrawall]

Ok, works.

Which decoder do you recommend for standard purposes?

[fastplayer]

Ok, works.
This works better as it maps left channels specifically to the left speaker output, same for right:
http://i39.tinypic.com/358v0ux.png
The LFE is optional.

[aufkrawall]

This works better as it maps left channels specifically to the left speaker output, same for right.
Sounds reasonable to me. :)
Do decoders anything different when downmixing?

[fastplayer]

Do decoders anything different when downmixing?
I can only guess but there might be some tweaks to the volume levels, especially for LFE.

[aufkrawall]

I can only guess but there might be some tweaks to the volume levels, especially for LFE.
If nevcairiel is reading:
Is there some chance that there will be downmixing support in future LAV Audio Decoder versions? :)

I think I'll stick to ffdshow with downmixing for audio.
Edit: Or just use the internal audio decoder that has downmixing too.

So, if I got it right, it may come in future?
Until that ffmpeg implementation of MPC HC seems to be a good solution.

Indeed, my solution was dirtier than possible. Yours is better.

I can confirm it's fixed with build 3983.
Thanks for the new build. :)

[boyumeow]

Hi,

http://i.imgur.com/dss30l.jpg

From my picture, the subtitle did not show up when [Default style] is not tick, is this a bug or just limitation in mpc-hc.

Thanks.

[v0lt]

@boyumeow
What kind of subtitles?

[Mercury_22]

@Alexins Can you please share your patch for your "BE Mod" ?
Or at least please share ( / add to svn ) your fix for the "Window Close" bug for the x64 (http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/ticket/1938) version of MPC-HC from your x64 "Media Player Classic HomeCinema - BE Mod" :thanks:

P.S. I thought this is an open source project and people should share at least their bug fixes for it

[boyumeow]

@v0lt,
It is an Advanced ass subtitle, extension .ass.

Thanks.

[v0lt]

From my picture, the subtitle did not show up when [Default style] is not tick
I look at the picture and I did not understand what you mean.
Default style does not work?

[VipZ]

Editing InternalFiltersConfig.h to remove internal filters is broken in latest SVN, I get errors on the audio side of it. I can build if I set #define INTERNAL_DECODER_VORBIS to 1 with the rest being 0.

Hey.

I have been wondering what causes laggy videoplayback when playing video file at first time? When I close it and open it again it plays perfectly? This happens every video file I do have in my computer.
I'm using, MPC-HC (with internal codecs), LAVfilters, FFdshow (audio), autofrequency and reclock.

Test without Reclock and autofrequency

[NiFa]

No difference with or without reclock, but without autofrequency it works little better, lag is more random, sometimes it works at first start and sometimes not, it doesn't happen with any specific file.

[boyumeow]

I look at the picture and I did not understand what you mean.
Default style does not work?

Sorry for not being specific enough, from my picture if [Default style] is tick/enable, the subtitle is not showing for that sentence ( {\pos(940,705)}My, my, you're such\Nan unpredictable character. )
If [Default style] is untick/disable, then it showing.
The bug (maybe) is something that is about positioning, I believe. Btw, my video is 1280x720.
Thanks for looking into it.

Upload a subtitle file and say - at what time to see.

[boyumeow]

Pls found the attach file requested, I have edit it so U can test as long as it would show to U :p.

And thanks.

[Snowknight26]

The internal H.264 decoder either ignores the full range flag or incorrectly does a TV->PC conversion for this video (http://stfcc.org/misc/vids/vids/BF3%20AS%20VAL%20glitch.1280x720.mp4), resulting in blacks being crushed.

Try - http://aleksoid.tosei.ru/Test/mpc-hc.ass_test.7z
and test on other subtitle with and without 'Default style' - maybe i broken something else :)

[Skibicki]

I noticed fast forwarding slightly improved with external filters in this order.
Lav Splitter
Lav Video Decoder
DirectVobSub (auto-loading version)
Enhanced Video Renderer
Lav Audio Decoder

Previously I did not add Enhanced Video Renderer and DirectVobSub was last. Disabling all 'Advanced Video Quality' settings in AMD Catalyst/Vision Engine Control Center also helps.

[robpdotcom]

Where can I download this skin? I really like the black/blue appearance.

http://i.imgur.com/dss30l.jpg

[ryrynz]

That's the BE mod with it's button color changed and yes everyone seems to prefer the look of MPC with that mod (c'mon guys commit it already)

http://www.xvidvideo.ru/media-player-classic-home-cinema-x86-x64

You can grab BE mods above (shown on the right hand side)

To configure the color go to tweaks in the options, there you can change button and outline color.

Blitkzer, your builds unfortunately have this feature broken (tried build 3996)

[robpdotcom]

:thanks: I would have never found that.

[boyumeow]

@Aleksoid1978,
Ok, I believe its consider fixed, except...
http://i.imgur.com/59qhMl.png
http://i.imgur.com/79L93l.png

From the two pictures above, the positioning of the subtitle is different too, top picture is [Default style] enabled and subtitle position at center, while bottom picture is [Default style] disabled and position shifted to right side as what the subtitle file has requested.

http://i.imgur.com/PBrpsl.png

Pls clarify that it was actually due to the [Screen Alignment & Margins], as I do not think its a bug.

Thanks.

*Thanks to v0lt too.

[v0lt]

@boyumeow
That's right. The default style is not only the font type. This is also the size, position, color...

[CruNcher]

v0lt keep on implementing all kinds of Apple framework used fourccs into the MP4/MOV Splitter, their is much better Decoder support now for them ;)

[kasper93]

In build batch file should not be 'GOTO END' in lines 115 and 130, because it is executed twice, one end trigger in line 50 is enough :)

[Mercury_22]

TrueHD channels are wrong mapped : rear and side channels are switched

[v0lt]

TrueHD channels are wrong mapped : rear and side channels are switched
How do you test it?

[Mercury_22]

How do you test it?

Using this TEST_TRUEHD_7.1 (https://rapidshare.com/files/807472142/TRUEHD_7.1.m2ts) file

[sillKotscha]

This is a very old format, now it is not used.
Use ffdshow or LAV Video.


would it be possible to play the file without installing additional software (currently LAV is installed "on top")?


Changes (3999-4006):

...
Update libav, add Indeo 3/4/5 support;
...


thx !

[aufkrawall]

It now plays also x264 RGB. :)
But it doesn't look right yet, neither does x264 I444 10bit.
