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

[Amour]

Would it be possible to have MPC-HC for OS X one day?
I only have OS X at office.

[nevcairiel]

MPC-HC uses technologys specific to Windows, running it on any other OS is impossible.

[LigH]

Well, as impossible as WINE, VirtualBox, and Parallels Desktop ... depends on their grade of emulation/virtualization. But indeed, MPC-HC uses quite specific libraries and APIs, e.g. of DirectX 9+.

[bugmen0t]

I updated my codec pack and the MPC HC too got updated to 1.6.2.4832.. But it seems like Don't use XP-theming on the player controls (need restart) option has been removed.

I normally use separate XP theme so when this option was available it disabled the xp theming on the players control part. but as it is removed the MPC HC player controls looks very odd (check attached pic). i would be nice if the option can be brought back :)

Just for my interest; Would XMBC's new AudioEngine (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=AudioEngine) be something MPC-HT could use as a source (of inspiration)?

[Aleksoid1978]

Question - where is my access to commit in SVN. I want make some small improvement in MPEGSplitter - but can do this :)

[v0lt]

MPC-HC v1.6.3.4963 (x86) (http://www.mediafire.com/?xfgh33iws56bh)
+ Added support for .AOB-s with MLP tracks.

known issues:
- The incorrect determination of the duration;
- A stupor on the .AOB-s containing both MLP and LPCM tracks.

Any modifications to the iconlib can cause wrong icons. This is because Windows caches the icons. When replacing the iconlib file with a modified version, the cache needs to be cleared, and all file associations re-created.

My suggestions for the installer:
1) don't replace existing iconlib on updates
2) clear icon cache on fresh installs

Here is example for use in install script:procedure ClearIconCache();
var
iconcache: String;
begin
iconcache := ExpandConstant('{localappdata}\IconCache.db');
if FileExists(iconcache) then begin
if NOT DeleteFile(iconcache) then begin
try
RestartReplace(iconcache, '');
except
Log('Failed to clear the icon cache.');
end;
end;
end;
end;

Somewhere between 4848 and 4872, the auto-zoom size was changed. Any reason for that? I liked the old slightly larger size a lot more.
It now takes the size of the window decorations into account I think it explains it. Maybe we can increase a bit the fraction of the screen auto-zoom uses (currently 2/3 including the window decorations I think).

thank you :thanks:
We have a patch which fixes this bug without having the need to disable the XP theme. It will be commited soon.

[Tiduz]

is MPChc-BE discontinued?

Would it be possible to let the user adjust this in options/tweaks?

[ryrynz]

A few patches made it in from BE, the UI was left left out obviously and there's been no comment about it from the devs. I'd like to see the rest added but it seems the focus right now is on tidying up the code. Any chance we could get a comment on the BE UI merging please?

I removed the icon cache, but it changed nothing. :confused:
Helped install the version before 4920.

I used the following batch file.
taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
attrib -H IconCache.db
del IconCache.db
pause
shutdown /R /F /T 5

In the r4968 the problem is solved.

I suggest not to change the index of icons. If we need to remove the icon, we need to put a gag.

[Underground78]

It would be possible but I wonder if it's really useful. Also it would make sense to have this option beside the "Auto-zoom" option which would require quite a lot of changes in the UI.

Frankly I don't know what we should do. We were willing to merge the BE Mod but now it evolved a lot and we only have quite an old version of it... I'm a bit reluctant with merging an old version of a patch when I know that a new, probably improved, version exists. :confused:

[ryrynz]

I think it would be a good idea to merge it as it is even with it being old code. Reason being that it does not affect the default theme and provides the user with an option, which by all accounts looked to be based on perfectly stable code.

Also the new BE interface leaves a lot to be desired right now (Some have commented it looks a little ugly) and I noticed it added a noticeable amount of time to the start up. We don't know when the final code for BE will be released or how it will look or work by that time, so I think by holding off merging the old code it's just delaying the benefit to change the theme for the possibility that a better theme may come.

You took the words right out of my mouth :)

I totally agree the new UI it's ugly comparing with Bobdynlan's version and even with the one from the available code = r72

So come on guys pull the trigger already stop stalling :mad:


Or just come forward and confess you don't want to make any changes to the GUI and lets all move on

[Virtual_ManPL]

We can also look on SPlayer source code, as far I remember it was based on MPC-HC.

[khagaroth]

Czech translation update (https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/ticket/1505).

[ryrynz]

I was looking around at themes today and thought Simple Gradient looked better than the original theme whilst still maintaining the same look. found here http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/raw-attachment/wiki/Toolbar_images/mpc_toolbar_simple_gradient_16.zip

http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/1302/image2xzw.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/403/image2xzw.jpg/)

Simple Gradient theme is on left, original theme is on the right.

The big difference really is the volume icon which coming straight from Windows 95 ideally should be replaced at the very least.
I mocked up how the BE GUI could look once implemented along with the traditional grey color below.

http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/5795/image4adt.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/210/image4adt.jpg/)

There's some differences in the playback buttons sizes between all three images, personally I'm not fussed but people may prefer one type over another. Feel free to comment.

I have to say, one feature I'd like to see is the enlargement of icons on mouse over as Potplayer does. It would be fairly easy to implement and it retains the classic feel without being overly flashy, perhaps worth a look.

[stevenckl]

Can someone verify izzit the function with icon tick or untick does change the files icon or function it broken?

[ajp_anton]

It would be possible but I wonder if it's really useful. Also it would make sense to have this option beside the "Auto-zoom" option which would require quite a lot of changes in the UI.Auto-zoom can be enabled with alt+4 also, not just when setting the default zoom, so IMO this setting would belong in "tweaks".

[ryrynz]

So come on guys pull the trigger already stop stalling


Build 5014 Todo.txt


10) Replace the default old looking toolbar with a more modern one


So it's on the cards, the toolbar at least, whether this is BE or something else who knows. It doesn't look like anyone is interested in coding a new front end right now, so BE should swing through in the meantime to tidy things up. Probably wouldn't hurt to get some color in those graphics too. As I said earlier the volume icon and the volume bar really are the eye sores and BE fixes those. So Underground, what's the plan?

[Pr3d]

But the new automatic update check works only for stable version or even for the unstable one?

[vBm]

Only for stable builds of course.

[Pr3d]

Only for stable builds of course.

I think that'd be great a radio button to enable the unstable version check, dont you think?

[kasper93]

I think that'd be great a radio button to enable the unstable version check, dont you think?

New nightly build are every day, sometimes even few per day, so we don't need notification, just go to http://xhmikosr.1f0.de/mpc-hc/ and download new version.

user friendly for stereo speaker system
not boost the sound, weak volume on 5.1ch+ audio
but boost my sound, the 2ch audio volume is too high

feature request
Only boost the sound when audio channel is more than 2

@ryrynz Maybe you should post your ideas about GUI here https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/ticket/1598 too :)

[ryrynz]

r5026: winter is coming


Oh yeah! :D

[Mercury_22]

Oh yeah! :D
Finally something seems to be moving (let's hope so) in the GUI area :)
But let's wait and see before getting our hopes up !

@bobdynlan Any chance you can share your plans ?

If this is will happen only the bugs fixed in BE mod remain to be merged / fixed in MPC-HC too e.g. http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/ticket/1938 :)

[Underground78]

It was kind of broken before r5035.

[ryrynz]

Just regarding the change log entered for 5037, I believe the user details should be bobdynlan not bobdylan, correct?

[vBm]

That is correct. It will be changed on next commit. Good catch.

Build .1.6.3.5083 64Bit crash when choose non english language and open avi file please fix it.

thanks...

[betaking]

To all dev:
Does LOGO resource is not removed from the language resource file of the MPC-HC? Switch to another language from the default English language re-open the MPC-HC, the MPC-HC become maximize!This is a BUG?
Look at the recorded video files!

please,add this button.i don't think it be hard:thanks:
thanks in advance
how i can "Deselect All" formats?why there is no button for that?i hate clicking and deselecting :D

#2382 (https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/ticket/2382)



Both tickets were fixed at r5092 (https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/changeset/5092).

Enjoy your nightlies again ;)

[Underground78]

Currently trunk builds are broken if non english language is used. Devs are working on it. Expect fix in near future.
Last trunk version that was working properly was r5076 (https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/changeset/5076)

Should be fixed as of r5092 (see https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/ticket/2382#comment:23 for test builds).

[boyumeow]

please,add this button.i don't think it be hard:thanks:

No need of button, "right click" is there to help. Thanks to Nev for that info.

[HoP]

@boyumeow
right click works for internal filters but i need for Select/Deselect formats

[Zulithe]

*edit* nevermind

[boyumeow]

@HoP,
Sorry, my bad. "Association with icons" have the effect of select all, if I'm not wrong. As for deselect, I guess we will go 1 by 1 >.< ...

I have this issue with MPC HC decoder and i was wondering if anyone knows the problem.

Basicaly, it doesn't decode formats properly, AAC has massive problems but AC3/Vorbis work perfectly.

Here's an example i recorded when trying to play a .mp4 h264/aac trailer for some upcoming movie:

MPC HC internal decoder: MPC HC audio.flac (ftp://78.153.40.220/AiDisk_a1/DATA/MPC%20audio.flac)

Similar issue with LAV Audio: LAV Audio.flac (ftp://78.153.40.220/AiDisk_a1/DATA/LAV%20Audio.flac)

If i use FFDshow to decode AAC it works flawlessly, AC3 works flawlessly with MPC HC internal decoder. It's weird and i have no idea what's causing this.

MPC, LAV, FFDshow and drivers are all updated to latest version.

I'm using LAV Splitter, LAV Video, madVR renderer on i7 2600k, ASUS P8P67PRO, Windows 7 64bit and Asus Xonar DG audio card.

Upload a sample file for test.

[Traps]

It was this video: Rise of the Guardians - Official Trailer (HD) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok0M25mpJl8&feature=g-hist), i downloaded (with the browser extension) the HD 720p/AAC version to my HDD and tried to play it. Happens with all AAC files though.

Here's a small song sample, it happens with this one too: track.m4a (ftp://78.153.40.220/AiDisk_a1/DATA/Zadeta%20si%20lepa%20Ljubljana.m4a)

Downloaded the 720p version of that Youtube clip, and that sample song, and played them with both the internal MPC-HC AAC decoder as well as the mov/mp4 splitter enabled with default settings to make sure (as well as with using LAV for the splitting; it's an older LAV revision so the fact that decoding worked there too shouldn't really matter), but it seems to work fine (revision 5108 tested).

Can't help but to think that it's something else but decoding, such as specific audio output modes or whatever else that could be affecting the output. Try a settings reset for MPC-HC and friends once, and then retry (step by step veering off the MPC-HC's defaults)?

[Traps]

I've tried switching everything back to MPC HC defaults, tried every audio renderer available in MPC HC, tried Audio switcher On/Off with different settings but nothing works. The only thing that works is using ffdshow-tryouts set to libfaad2 to decode, if it's set to libavcodec decoder i get same errors in the audio.

I thought it was my audio card but i doubt that since it works flawlessly for everything else.

[v0lt]

@Traps
Show a list of filters.

[Traps]

You mean this?

[JanWillem32]

Can you take a look at the settings for the audio decoders themselves? It's accessible in the filter menu and by double-clicking an audio decoder item with a bold font in the internal filters option tab. Make sure "SPDIF" isn't selected, and that the correct speaker arrangement is set. Also disable dynamic range control if it's enabled.
The output format could also be the problem. The option for 24-bit output is refused the most, some devices don't like floating-point input, and older ones won't even accept 32-bit output. Just to be sure, could you try all four of these?
