Media Player Classic - BE Win32/x64

[Klaus1189]

Does anyone of you know how to set the image scaling in MPC BE the same as in MPC HC? My point is that the native resolution of the opened video should be opened in 1: 1 aspect ratio, and in full screen mode it would adjust to the width of the screen. After clicking on the stop, the window has to return to its default size, ie a small square with the logo inside. In MPC HC, I have no problem with these settings, in MPC BE something is not good.

Can you please explain? I want help, but I don't understand what you want

Does anyone have 3d mvc movies working with subtitles? I had it working previously by selecting side by side subs and it worked great. I had to reinstall everything and now with mvc 3d I'm getting two sets of subtitles instead 0f depth like I did previously.

You don't need select side by side for subs.

[robl45]

Yes, I just unselected it and it seems to work, weird because it worked fine before like that before I reinstalled all the programs a month or two ago. My subs used to come up yellow, now they come up white, do you know how to change that? I tried where I thought I would change it, but they still white.

Nope, no matter what I change there, the subtitles are just white. i even changed the font to wingding and it didn't change a thing.

Upload you subtitle - i'l check.

There is a potential audio issue I would like to report. The center channel is missing when I play back DTS-HD MA 6.1 audio tracks.

I have MPC-BE configured so it sends multichannel PCM to my prepro, which downmixes the channels to stereo (I run a 2.0 setup).

---

MPC-BE Audio Properties:

Audio renderer: MPC Audio Renderer
WASAPI mode: Exclusive
Allow bit-exact output: Yes
Use system layout channels: No (Windows is set to 7.1)

MPC-BE Sound Processing:

Channel Mixer: All options unchecked

---

The problem isn't there if I have MPC-BE do the downmixing.

[Megalith]

I just noticed that MPC-BE is showing the input and output for a 6.1 surround track as "7," even though it should read "6.1." This leads me to believe that it is definitely a player-related issue.

[robl45]

I did two different films, both the same

@Megalith
Upload a small sample.

[autobengal]

I just installed MPC-BE. I have ripped 4K mkv and and regular 1080.
Everything seems to work ok in Windows 7x64. I have a 960GTX card to a 4k tv.
My question is, should I install madvr or any lav filters? What advantage might that offer me? Thanks

I don't know how to set picture scaling in MPC BE to make it work the way it does in MPC HC?
I'd like videos to open in windows scaled 1:1 to their actual resolution, and to have it scaled to screen width in full screen mode.

I'd like the window to revert to its normal size when I click stop - a small square with the logo inside it.

It works like that in MPC HC with no issues at all, but I can't seem to make it work in BE.

One question: As I see it, the border width and shadow depth parameters are actually floating point numbers; at least they are so in the ini and it worked fine when I changed the border width to 1.5 in the ini (which to me is more pleasing than 1 or 2). But there is a problem: Sometimes when I update some other option, the value in the ini is set to the integral number (namely 1) that the GUI actually displays. Could the GUI expose that these values are floats?

[v0lt]

Could the GUI expose that these values are floats?No. The GUI sets these options only as an integer.

I use MPC-BE on 200 % scaling, and also here the integer refers to a "pixel line" around the box. Why do you want floats? A display can't display half pixels. Am I wrong?

[mkver]

These values already are floats in the ini. Changing them in the ini to a non-integral float has the desired effect. So the internal subtitle renderer already works with floats internally, it's just the GUI that exposes them as integers.
One can give the impression of half-pixels by not only use two colors (usually "pure" black and "pure" white), but also intermediate values. See this picture (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/88/Aliasing_a.png) to get the idea. (There is also another method to do subpixel-rendering that depends on the exact pixel geometry of your display; this is usually used to display fonts, but I don't think that this is used for subtitles by any media player.)
You can test this yourself by setting the value in the ini/the registry. It's the "SPDefaultStyle" entry.

Bug in Matroska Splitter:
Some Nightlies back, YT VP9 HDR was properly handled by internal Matroska Splitter. But if I play this file (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e9JFRyvq5rGHEPtViFEUSt37f7_wX37-/view?usp=sharing)for example, HDR isn't recognized anymore in r3316.
If I use external LAV Splitter, it works. And it doesn't report the FPS information (https://drive.google.com/file/d/19bHs5foy5F8i4VTOKszIkGDxRPc4moc3/view?usp=sharing) of the file.

What is "surface format" and how does it impact quality? The default for EVR-CP is 8-bit integer. Are there any quality advantages of setting it to 16-bit float or 32-bit float?

P.S. I'm using Intel HD Graphics 630, but I also have the Nvidia GTX 1050 as the secondary GPU.

Quality is only defined by yourself.
Check and choice.

I just recognized that LAV Filters tells HDR properties to madVR. Is this also possible in MPC Matroska Splitter?

Try Matroska Splitter + internal Video Decoder.

OK, but my question was what is the surface format.

[Klaus1189]

Can you please add in Video Decoder settings the option to disable DXVA for HD? For SD it is already there.

If you don't need DXVA for HD - just disable it.

Thanks, I set '14' and seems it solved the issue.

[Klaus1189]

I think I need a checkbox, because if I use DXVA for UHD content and I want to play a interlaced 1080i file, I don't get Deinterlacing.
I don't want to turn on and off DXVA for every file.

[Aleksoid1978]

Deinterlacing must work for every file, SD/HD/UHD. DXVA or software decoding.

[Klaus1189]

Forgot to mention, only with madvr default settings, it isn't deinterlaced. Only fine when I enable "if in doubt, activate deinterlacing".

EVR CP is fine :)

[autobengal]

Do I need Windows 10 or a new cpu (I'm using haswell) if I have a 960 GTX and plan to get a 1080i? Can I continue to use Windows 7?
I'm playing back already ripped 4k UHD video files. My 960 has only 2 gigs of ram and I figure the 1080i should play back much smoother.

[sneaker_ger]

No, you don't need a new GPU for playing (decrypted) 4K HEVC. Only if you want to play e.g. 4K Netflix or UHD Blu-Ray with official software (PowerDVD, Edge browser or Netflix app on Win 10).

Do you have problems? What renderer are you using? If you use madvr try to reset settings to default, then maybe try lower GPU queue sizes (because of only 2 GB). Did you enable DXVA/GPU decoding?

[autobengal]

I'm using madvr. There is a slight ripping once in a while watching 4k. I presume it's my weak video card. But actually everything works pretty well.
I'm using MPC-BE and I don't see a place to click enable DXVA/GPU decoding .
I just don't want to use Windows 10 unless I absolutely have to.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Perhaps this line is in Inno Setup.
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 5\Languages\German.isl"

I informed the devs of Inno Setup, see
https://github.com/jrsoftware/issrc/issues/251

it was changed today, see
https://github.com/jrsoftware/issrc/commit/4f649613cbf116ee49f86a5d517cfa50de47cb55

Do you also change your local file? I don't know when the new version is available for download. Not familiar with that project.

My playlist isn't saving the last played file any more, it keeps one particular file and won't update it. Tried unselecting remember playslist and selecting it again and it doesn't change.
Tried reverting versions but that hasn't helped. Permissions problem?

Yes, something wrong with permission.

[ryrynz]

Where abouts is this playlist information kept? I can't find in ini or registry.

%APPDATA%\MPC-BE\default.mpcpl or in MPC-BE's folder(if use store settings in .ini file).

[ryrynz]

Yeah, it was the permissions on \Program Files\MPC-BE folder. Sorted it.

[Klaus1189]

updated german translation (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4y5u0gBKYqbUHk0T3A0ellIa28?usp=sharing)
I used r3351 but made also the changes you made in 3352, so it is up-to-date.
I checked it already, but please check you too, if it is alright.

[vanschneidermann]

Hi, guys.
Using the latest beta dont let me drag subtitles to the player.

How can I solve this ? :(

[Klaus1189]

Did it work before?
I never did this before by myself. You can mux the video- and the subtitle file with MKVToolNix to a new MKV file.
Or you simply rename the subtitle according the videofile's filename. I don't know if there are differences allowed that MPC-BE still recognizes the external subtitle belonging to the videofile.
Something like VIDEO.mkv and VIDEO_ger.srt / VIDEO ger.srt / VIDEO-german.srt / ...
I'm sure the devs or anybody else knows that :)
