Media Player Classic - BE Win32/x64

[hubi73]

With some Youtube clips there is a notable increase in volume control response time. (More than one second after hitting the arrow key or scrolling the mouse wheel.) At the moment I found only "Audio only" clips, but I will search further. Maybe there are video clips too.

Tested so far with v1.5.2.4102 and all internal filters and cross check with LAV Filters - both the same.

Clips with increased time:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2ohR0xwrf8

In contrary here is an audio clip with normal response time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxvSVpIN7Ys

Edit: It seems madvr is responsible for that problem, with VMR9 the response times are normal.

Edit2: For some clarification: Not the volume change is delayed but only the OSD.
Besides I downloaded one of these clips and tried it out with some older versions of madvr and MPC-BE, it was always with the same result of a delayed OSD response.
Maybe this is only a madvr problem and madvr has some kind of a sleeping issue while it is displaying still images - I don't know.

If OSD is delayed only with madVR - it's madVR faults.

Changelog in the OP is absolutely massive. Thanks for all the wonderful work.

MPC-BE 1.5.2 (build 4105) stable (https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/files/MPC-BE/Release%20builds/1.5.2/)
Thank You guys for your relentless, hard work! :)

[JNW]

Stable version has arrived! People kept asking for it over a certificate lol. I was more than happy using the nightlies. I keep up with the daily commits on the Sourceforge repository. A lot of work has gone in this last year. aleksoid , v0lt really top stuff and really appreciative. Just the best player right now. Thank you for your efforts :)

EDIT: I like when I open the player it's in widescreen. In celebration and in nerdy spirit lol of new stable I'm sharing modified logo :P :) https://imgur.com/pxwBJlx

[hubi73]

Yes, it is, as JNW says, just the best player right now. Thank you very much guys.

[Manni]

Just to add my thanks to the list, your hard work is much appreciated, MPC-BE is also my favorite player. Thanks a lot!

[JarrettH]

Added device buffer setting. Available values are "Default" (which gives the driver), 50 and 100 ms.

Thanks, this should help my USB DAC. Is there a way to find out what value my default is?

[Klaus1189]

updated german translation (https://drive.google.com/file/d/16maGUeQ-5_yQ_yWuNzcPxqgMJr_t82ek/view?usp=sharing) for 1.5.3 :)

Usually is 10 ms.

[chros]

I tested one thing for the last time both with the 2 test builds you made: mpc-be.exe.20180830, mpc-be.exe.20180912
- Only Wasapi Exclusive mode is affected! If I set it to Wasapi Shared mode then it works as it should.

@Aleksoid1978: BTW this issue is also fixed for me in 1.5.2! Thank You!

[Klaus1189]

I updated from r4113 to r4117 and encountered a little issue:
I have set Seek bar text in first options page to display Nothing, but when I close MPC-BE, open it again and play a file, it is set to display File name (else title or URL).
I switched back to r4113 which is fine.

Comfirm - fixed.

[Grimsdyke]

Just wanted to report that after a nice discussion via PM one bug that must have been present in the codebase for ages because mpc-hc is also affected has now been fixed !!
Most users never even noticed that this bug existed but it really annoyed me - so thank you very much, you guys are amazing !!!!!

What bug ?? :)

[heiseikiseki]

To report an issue on the 1.5.2 stable. When I attach the MPC-BE to the hafe side of the monitor.(By dragging it to the one side of the edge of the display) .
Then if I double clicked to change to full screen. It doesn't fill the screen.

(enviroment : Windows 10 1809)

[hubi73]

@heiseikiseki
Try this with every other window on the screen and you will find that this is Windows standard behaviour.

half size window > double click > shrunken window > double click > full screen

[heiseikiseki]

Thanks for the reply. I tried. But IN MPC-BE it not becomes the shrunken window.
For example my display is 2560*1440.
it just become 2560*1429. (almost fill but not full)
Since the previous version I didn't see this behavior.

[hubi73]

On my 1920x1080 everything is fine. This is probably a bug with hi-res monitors. As of Aleksoids equipment list he doesn't have a display above Full-HD and maybe therefore he doesn't recognise this. Perhaps you should do more testing and provide more information.
E.g. how is your display attached (HDMI, Displayport, ...) and test to change your resolution to Full-HD.

[Klaus1189]

I use 3840x2160@200% and can confirm the behavior that heiseikiseki has reported. I also tested an old build from 2017-10-17 r3005, same behavior.
I tried MPC-HC 1.8.3 and it is fine.

I recognized that in case of MPC-BE the taskbar is in front of MPC-BE in this case, so MPC-BE is of course in the background.

[heiseikiseki]

I tried to change the resolution into FHD but the behavir is the same.
It change the resolution into 1906*1072.

My display is attached by Display Port 1.2.

[hubi73]

@heiseikiseki or @Klaus
Maybe a screenshot of the almost filled window would help.

[heiseikiseki]

@heiseikiseki or @Klaus
Maybe a screenshot of the almost filled window would help.

Here is the Screenshot https://imgur.com/a/LseGK2H
(that frame is all white)

Notice that If I hide the taskbar and there is no other window behind MPC-BE then it would be filled.

[hubi73]

As I can see the window is not completely filled in horizontal direction, can you move the taskbar to the left or right side and look if this makes a difference.
BTW: I can't really help you, I do this to provide Aleksoid the information that maybe helps him.

Just to be really sure: This is maximised window and not a resized (or shrunken) window?

[heiseikiseki]

Here is the new screenshot with the taskbar on leftside.
https://imgur.com/a/06buNeC
Notice that there is very thin edge of the right side not been filled.

And yes, I am sure.

[Aleksoid1978]

Comfirm bug - but i don't know what's happened :)

[Klaus1189]

I tried older MPC-HC builds and found out it was the same issue in MPC-HC till 1.7.3. Since 1.7.4 it is fine. So the fix must be between 2014-02-02 and 2014-04-16.

(BTW, finally there is someone maintaining the Japanese translation......)

[Mercury_22]

Recent file list can't be cleared after MPC-BE 1.5.3.4126
Last working is r4126

[v0lt]

@beter
Thanks. Updated in r4125.

@Mercury_22
Thank you! This bug is based on a very unpleasant typo in r4128. Fixed in r4141.

I ask everyone not to use versions from 1.5.3.4129 to 1.5.3.4140.

[ryrynz]

I ask everyone not to use versions from 1.5.3.4129 to 1.5.3.4140.

Given how you guys update the player almost every day I'd hope you release 1.5.3 before the end of the year. There are already bug fixes in this new version. The more often stable is updated the more people see it.

[hubi73]

Youtube playback didn't work again neither with integrated web parser nor with youtube-dl. Tested with MPC-BE 1.5.2 (build 4105) and build 4141.
youtube-dl error message: signature extraction failed

edit: youtube-dl File Version 2018.11.07 works so far.

Same as here:

If this doesn't help, I don't know. Although I don't use MPC-BE that way, but knowing this issue is driving me crazy.

[Zinglar]

I notice a problem with some, but not all, mkv files. The audio plays fine, but the video element is stuttering and jumpy, almost frozen. I'm using v. 1.5.2 (build 4105) on Windows 10 Pro. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Any ideas how to solve this problem?How about running one or more of your problem .mkv files through an application called 'MediaInfo' (set to text mode) and post what it reports in full.

Apps should always be improved even if only one user has a specific problem ! So I hope that one day my issues with external audio will be fixed too.

@Klaus, in b4145 under 3D-Stereo-Modus there are some Englisch texts !! May be meant this way but "Left/Right tauschen" sounds strange !?!

[Klaus1189]

I know. It is sometimes hard to find short suitable words.
What do you think about "Halbbilder tauschen"?
I personally do not know if "Halbbilder" is fully correct, I mean some 3D methods have full resolution pictures for left and right. But since you need 2 pictures for one "3d frame", one picture would be "half".

[Grimsdyke]

Tricky indeed - how about "3D-Halbbilder tauschen" because I think "Halbild" does mean indeed something else. Or just simply "Links/Rechts tauschen" because people who uses 3D will surely know what that means.

[Klaus1189]

"3D-Halbbilder tauschen", to much "3D" -> already in 3D menu
only "Halbbild" to much of normal interlaced video.
I simply didn't translated "Left/Right", so it matched the 3D modes above, but since you want it, I change it.
