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

[Aleksoid1978]

But the internal filters seem to contain the most leaks, even before the changes to the PGS parser.

Like that ?

[Armada]

I tested PGS subs with the internal filters disabled and I don't get any memory leaks. But as soon as I turn the internal filters on I get at least 30 with the DXVA filters, 10 if I only use ffmpeg.
No memory leaks detected.
Visual Leak Detector is now exiting.

Memory leak log, that i posted above - it's happened on file when need render multiple PGS at one time;

VLD - it's very paranoid program :) - it see memory leak, as example when see AllocMemory - and do not see delete for this;

P.S. - I could help you with this - if your "commander" asked me :)

I will also look at that log, but could you add the stack trace? It would help me find the source.

VLD - it's very paranoid program :) - it see memory leak, as example when see AllocMemory - and do not see delete for this;
But despite being paranoid it doesn't report any memory leak to me when not using the internal filters.

P.S. - I could help you with this - if your "commander" asked me :)
Help is always welcome, but you should only do so when you want to yourself. This is a team effort, there is no "commander" pulling the strings.

If this is a team - why so one person deprived of access another, simply because he wanted to, а ???

I'm talking about our mutual "friend" XhmikosR :)

When no internal filter - VLD do not see source for external filter and do not generate his report.

About multiple PGS - see this is sample
http://aleksoid.tosei.ru/Test/Sample/PGS/PGS_StartBroken.m2ts - enable subtitle and see in Debug mode what happened.

What happened in past should stay in the past. All of us have the same goal and that is to have best media player for windows.
Personal crap should stay behind and we all should concentrate on getting things done. That's all.

[ryrynz]

I don't see him bringing up the past as much as saying "I want to help why don't I have access to help?"

Personal crap should stay behind and we all should concentrate on getting things done. That's all.

But isn't Aleksoid1978 trying "get things done" but has the issue of not having access?

[Armada]

Please don't bring this up again, there has already been too much drama around this subject and frankly it's been a big demotivation to the team. If Aleksoid1978 wants to help he is still free to submit patches and we will review them, you don't need write access to the repo to contribute and you don't need to involve XhmikosR.

Aleksoid1978 had a disagreement over how the project was being run and so he started a fork. We are currently satisfied with the situation where we can each manage the project as we see fit. We are hoping we can build a professional relationship between the two projects so both projects will improve.

No - i don't have a disagreement over how the project was being run. I just lost access, for what started my own project. And I still do not understand how connected the MPC-HC and my project - MPC-BE. What was I deny access?

Hey guys, something fun for you to see. MPC-HC was featured on last night's episode of the Showtime TV series Homeland.

Product placement :D Oh, well MPC-HC is the best player with simple gui so why they would want to use anything else?

Dear all,

Recently when trying to play a dvd (from file load dvd and select the Video_ts folder) I get error "failed to query the needed interfaces for DVD playback". I tried different renderer but the issues still occured. I am playing with madvr and LAV (cuvid) filters. I tried the repair fromm the MPC webpage to register a .dll but still this issue occurs. Also updated to the latest MPC HC build.

Any hints and tips what I can try to repair this issue?

what version of windows you're using?

In general, you may run "regsvr32 qdvd.dll" and "regsvr32 quartz.dll" to fix this issue, but I don't know about europe "N" version of windows.

I came to post same. :)

Oddly, Microsoft did pay for Skype placement yet WMP was replaced with MPC-HC. Maybe CBS wanted more monies for that but they declined since not marketable. Or maybe production IT just know MPC-HC is better. ;)

[madshi]

@developers,

there's an incompatability between MPC-HC and madVR now with the "save thumbnails" MPC-HC feature. Basically MPC-HC asks madVR whether it can do frame stepping. madVR says "yes". Then MPC-HC asks for 1 frame step. madVR replies with E_UNEXPECTED. I'm aware of that this is not standard renderer behaviour, and it's on my list of things to fix. Unfortunately a proper fix will be quite difficult due to madVR's internal queue design, so I can't fix it at the moment. What madVR currently does is a bit weird, but still somewhat "ok", I believe, and it works ok with normal MPC-HC frame stepping during playback. Only the "save thumbnails" feature has a problem with the way madVR behaves.

I've looked into this a bit and from my logs madVR clearly replies with E_UNEXPECTED to the frame step request. In MPC-HC's "MainFrm.cpp" in line 4902 (current revision) there's the line "HRESULT hr = pFS ? pFS->Step(1, NULL) : E_FAIL;". However, it seems that this for whatever reason doesn't come out with E_FAIL, because MPC-HC freezes then a bit later in the source code in line 4913 in the WaitForSingleObject. MPC-HC waits there for madVR to reply with EC_STEP_COMPLETE. But madVR doesn't send that event because it already denied the step request in the first place.

Hope somebody can look into this? It's dead easy to reproduce. And you can get a freeze report which shows you where MPC-HC is stuck by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Break (freeze report will be saved to desktop). Just make sure you have the correct MPC-HC.pdb file in the MPC-HC folder, so the freeze report contains valid stack traces.

I added the keys Alt+Up/Down to change the volume by 1 unit in the latest stable. If you want to use 1 unit as the default, you can change the keys in the options.

can you make an option for this in Tweaks section?? below "jump distance" :D
thanks again ;)

I don't think that's necessary, we already have way too many tweak options. Is it that that much trouble to press the same button twice?

What's the best method of viewing MediaInfo readouts for files within MPC-HC? It used to be integrated but not anymore I guess.

[vBm]

Properties (Shift+F10) -> Media Info

It's still there, unless you are using some unofficial build or lite one.

[sneaker_ger]

While you're talking about MediaInfo I have a request:
If a file cannot be played by MPC-HC it would be nice if it ran MediaInfo over it anyways, so you could quickly analyze what the problem could be.

Big bug? :scared:
Open video file(mp4), after drag and drop another video file(mp4) to mpchc, mpc-hc is crash. :(

W7 x64, mpc-hc rev6086

[LigH]

Using the internal MP4 splitter or an external (e.g. Haali)? Using an internal MPEG4 decoder (DXVA / FFmpeg) or an external?

[hayan]

no open any file -> drag n drop video file -> no problem
play audio file -> drag n drop audio file -> no problem (mp3)
play video file -> next video file (page down) -> no problem
play video file -> drag n drop video file -> mpchc gui and video freeze

EVRCP

@hayan
i had a problem like that with JanWillem32 builds.this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1570488&postcount=936)
and JanWillem32 said:
I'm very familiar with that one. When the renderer's initialization fails (usually because other components are still quitting), the graph builder will just try again. Note that it may revert silently to VMR-7 w. after a renderer failure.

This error is due to the inclusion of subtitle support in UTF-8 without BOM.

hi there

can someone help me with web interface ,can i download files by this method ..

i mean , if there is a someone have mpc-hc web interface and it shared with others , can they download files or at least play it in there own computers.

and thx


-- is there an irc channel for mpc-hc developers ? , to ask him in faster way -- :)

[kasper93]

It's not media player task to share files :)

Of course there is IRC channel, even two. #mpc-hc (general) and #mpc-hc-dev (for devs) on freenode :)

[MADAJ]

thank you kasper93 for answering me :)

what is benefit from MPC-HC Web interface ?

[vBm]

Remote controlling of the player. (there's no way at the moment to stream video, so only to play/pause/load/etc files)

[MADAJ]

OK , thanks a lot
:)

Does the settings on VSFilter color tab work? It seems to always output YUY2 to EVR.

[cyberbeing]

On regular VSFilter, the colors tab has been broken for as long as I remember. Though the reason you are seeing YUY2, is because AMD/ATI GPUs don't support YV12 with EVR, and regular VSFilter doesn't support NV12. What will usually occur, is VSFilter will take YV12 input from the decoder, and then do a color conversion to YUY2.

xy-VSFilter has a fully functional colors tab, and it also supports NV12. Though unlike regular VSFilter, xy-VSFilter will never perform color conversions.
Input format from decoder to xy-VSFilter = Format supported by Video Renderer = Output format from xy-VSFilter to Video Renderer.

Anyone know how those PowerDVD and TMT plug-ins for Windows Media Center works?

On Windows Media Center you can add Blu-rays and DVD's into movie library but you will need a plug-in for Blu-rays, for example PowerDVD, when you launch a BD from the WMC library it opens the movie on PowerDVD on top of WMC. You can get MPC-HC to load also but the problem is that it can't properly communicate with MPC-HC to start the playback. I think it would need some plug-in that wouldn't require much code to start MPC-HC on full screen and start playback with the correct switches.

[Joniii]

Almost got mpc-hc to load when hitting play in Windows Media Center Movie Library. Only thing is that WMC passes this to MPC-HC

"C:\Program Files (x86)\mpc\mpc-hc.exe" -embed 393972H:/AVATAR/

Those six numbers are always random.

So I would need to compile a MPC-HC build that has for example -fullscreen switch name replaced to -emblem so that is accepted and at the same time mpc-hc lauches in full screen. Other change would be to make mpc-hc to discard those six numbers in the path.

Anyone here who has everything already set up and compiles MPC-HC builds often? I could do it myself but I have VS 2012, dunno if it will work. Also it takes a while to setup everything.

Uriziel made this tiny python script you can use to strip that stuff out.

import subprocess
import sys

if "__main__" == __name__:
path = sys.argv[2].lstrip("0123456789")
subprocess.call(["C:\Program Files (x86)\mpc\mpc-hc.exe", path])


And point media center to that script instead of mpc-hc

I have improved the pan&scan rotation functionality. With this change it is easier to flip and rotate the video. Old behavior was a 2 degree step for all 6 directions. New behavior is to take 180/90 degree steps in 3 of those directions.
Alt+2 = vertical flip
Alt+6 = horizontal flip
Alt+3 = rotate 90 degree counterclockwise

Here is changed code:

mainform.cpp
void CMainFrame::OnViewRotate(UINT nID)
------------------------------
switch (nID) {
case ID_PANSCAN_ROTATEXP:
m_AngleX = (m_AngleX + 2) % 360;
break;
case ID_PANSCAN_ROTATEXM:
if (m_AngleX >= 180)
m_AngleX = 0;
else
m_AngleX = 180;
break;
case ID_PANSCAN_ROTATEYP:
m_AngleY = (m_AngleY + 2) % 360;
break;
case ID_PANSCAN_ROTATEYM:
if (m_AngleY >= 180)
m_AngleY = 0;
else
m_AngleY = 180;
break;
case ID_PANSCAN_ROTATEZP:
m_AngleZ = (m_AngleZ + 2) % 360;
break;
case ID_PANSCAN_ROTATEZM:
if (m_AngleZ >= 270)
m_AngleZ = 0;
else if (m_AngleZ >= 180)
m_AngleZ = 270;
else if (m_AngleZ >= 90)
m_AngleZ = 180;
else
m_AngleZ = 90;
break;
default:
return;

Use the win32 version of the DVDNavigatorPathHack.exe tool from the dslibdvdnav-0.2.4 package to restore the link to the DVD navigator filter. (use google to find it)

See this image showing how I hacked the DVD Navigator path on my system:
http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/428/dvdnavigatorpathhack.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/534/dvdnavigatorpathhack.jpg/)
Clicking "restore" should revert to the system default.

[Yoshi8765]

@tiny:
Thanks a lot. I'll try this and report back.

Edit: I've completely forgotten about that neat little program for allowing DVD playback with madVR. I set it back to the system default. Then, MPC-HC gave me a "Macrovision fail," as expected. I switched it back to dslibdvdnav.ax in my 32-bit version of dslibdvdnav and tried again.
Left is what I get with open disc-> E.
Right is what I get with open DVD/BD->E.

The DVD drive whirls for a few seconds after showing me this, then stops. :confused:
I have Win 7 64-bit by the way. So I tried doing the same with with dslibdvdnav.ax 64-bit version, with no avail.

I have this weird problem in fullscreen, all advice is welcome.

Window: http://i.imgur.com/kBqfI.jpg
Fullscreen: http://i.imgur.com/ZV9XC.jpg

As you can see, target rectangle in fullscreen is very wrong. My monitor is 1680x1050.

MPC-HC 1.6.4.6052
LAV Filters 0.52
madVR 0.84.3

It happens with different renderers too, on all videos.

Feature request: If the file doesn't have chapters then MPC-HC should automatically divide the file into x equal chapter points. Thanks.

No it shouldn't. Anyway for feature requests we have trac http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/wiki/How_to_Report_Issues

@Yoshi8765:
I'm sorry I couldn't test this earlier. I've got AnyDVD running in the background doing the decryption. If I disable AnyDVD the black window & no play problem like you're having occurs. Looks like the MPC/dslibdvdnav.ax/LAV combination doesn't play (normal commercial) encrypted DVDs without some extra help.
