Media Player Classic - BE Win32/x64

[salam2009]

Is it possible to lock the player's window from moving?
I mostly move it by accident when I'm trying to jump quickly between a video's scenes using the mouse cursor.
Thanks a lot for your effort!

No - it's not possible.

[ryrynz]

There's a 3rd party app called Windowmanager can do that.

Would it be possible to play the subtitle specified via the /sub command line switch with an external filter (such as XySubFilter)?
It works fine using the internal subtitle renderer but not when using an external one and it looks like the player isn't sending to the filter the required information to do so.

In the XySubFilter's options set "Always load".

Nope, it still doesn't work.
I don't know anything about DirectShow so I might be wrong, but I built xysubfilter with logging enabled and it looks like it's not connecting to any Subtitle Pin.
To be clear: it works fine when the subtitle is embedded inside the file or outside with the same name but it doesn't work if I try to load a subtitle from another folder via the command line.

I experience strange behaviour from MediaInfo included in MPC-BE; standalone MediaInfo is fine. The problem affects Matroska files where the cues are located in front of the clusters and not at the end. The issue is twofold:
1. For files that show this behaviour the output of the integrated MediaInfo is

The strange thing here is the "Constant / Constant" for the frame rate mode and "Progressive / Progressive" for scan type. Normally, these are not doubled (and it's not doubled for standalone MediaInfo).

2. But the more important of the two issues is that MediaInfo reads the whole file before returning its report. Especially annoying for multi-GB files.

As has been said: The standalone MediaInfo is not affected by this; and MPC-HC is also no longer affected by it. It used to be affected just like MPC-BE, but it isn't any more since 1.7.14. This is the first version that uses an external mediainfo.dll and looking at the commits. MPC-HC 1.7.13.112 is still affected by this bug.

I know of two ways to create such files: The first is by using mkclean (https://sourceforge.net/projects/matroska/files/mkclean/mkclean-0.8.10-win64.zip/download) and the second by using ffmpeg with the "reserve_index_space" option: ffmpeg -i <InputFile> -c copy -f matroska -reserve_index_space <Number> <OutputFile>. Here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/fh9xfd98ichyl73/sample4.mkv?dl=0) is a sample.

Is it possible to edit the close button of the new Playlist window, because it is cut off when using 200% scaling, see here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/18ErlcWC9G4MPQrfjNKqQCtFfjPFZy89X/view?usp=sharing).

[Mercury_22]

MPC-BE can't see all the "long" playlist when opening a blu-ray including main movie's correct one

While MPC-HC can see it

Sample https://www.sendspace.com/file/2npu9s

I found another Blu-ray for which MPC-BE can't see / show the correct main movie's mpls so:

Aleksoid / Volt can you please let MPC-BE show all the mpls in descending order of the duration, there's no point in hiding some of the mpls as long as MPC-BE can't chose, or even show as it seems, the correct main movie's mpls for sure, without a directshow Bluray disc navigator filter (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=164314) ?

P.S. I will not send another sample cause the fix seems very easy to me: let MPC-BE show all the mpls in descending order of the duration

MPC-BE show all the mpls in descending order of the duration:
1) duration > 3 min
2) mpls don't contain duplicate .m2ts files entry.

Possible - why not, but i don't have monitor > 1080 and can't set 200%, maximum 175%(look normal).

[huhn]

there are two way to workaround that.

apply nvidia DSR to the desktop and you should get up 350% as an option or you use the newer custom option to type the number in.

If you need/want me to try a testbuild, just send me one.

I made a new screenshot (https://drive.google.com/file/d/156AQrBwjDtGWLC4IQirlYVPRgQxcDQ-e/view?usp=sharing) of r4391. Here you can see that only the close symbol is larger than the button. The button itself should be fine. Maybe it helps you, although I am pretty sure you know it already.
I beg to fix this little cosmetic issue.

Thank you devs

I see the translations being fixed up. 1.5.3 release imminent?

[GCRaistlin]

Feature requests:

[ ] Show MPC-BE in tray instead of taskbar.
This may be useful when playing a video on the secondary display and doing some other work on the primary one: MPC-BE won't hinder on Alt-Tab and in the taskbar.
[ ] Repeat reopening file in case of an error.
Now sometimes we have to press Ctrl-E tens of times (literally!) when opening an AceStream link because of repeating "Cannot render a file" error.
Increase timeout for opening external links. Now we get "File not found" error in case of heavy bandwidth load (by uTorrent on another machine). Limiting download speed in uTorrent helps. Once the link is catched we can remove the limiting or at least set it to a higher value.

All working good.

Perhaps you have an active playlist window. Click on the main window and check again.

[Anima123]

Perhaps you have an active playlist window. Click on the main window and check again.

You're right about it. But shouldn't the main window be the active one in the first place?

Thanks for the updates for High DPI settings

There are 3 additional places which could do with similar tweaks.

Flybar and header within settings dialog;

Additional thought, is that header text even required within the dialogs now?

I have set font size 18 for OSD which is likely slighly bigger than default. At 100% its good and 250% its a bit too big.

Windows is set with 250% within the above snips.

Hi,

I have been using MPC BE for more than a year without issues but after upgrading to a 4K screen, I am now facing Desktop Window Manager crashes when using this player.

I figured out a way to trigger the crash consistently, basically in full screen (Madvr standard, not exclusive) when I make the seek bar appear there is a very brief white flash across the entire screen, like a random white frame.
This doesn't make the Desktop Window Manager crash, but if I make the seek bar appear and disappear for 5-10 times in a row, I can trigger the crash consistently.

After the Desktop Window Manager crashes, the video's audio still plays in the background with the last frame stuck on the screen. The mouse is displayed on the screen but it cannot interact with anything and the application can't be closed, forcing me to cut the power the PC.

I tried to reset the player's settings to their defaults, I also tried to run the standard EVR but I can still trigger the crash.
The crash is limited to MPC BE, all the other players, 3D applications, games are stable.

The event viewer reports the following:
Faulting application name: dwm.exe, version: 10.0.17763.1, time stamp: 0xe52aabf3
Faulting module name: KERNEL32.DLL, version: 10.0.17763.292, time stamp: 0x7c9c19c8

Report Id: 7a653986-1b58-42ac-84ea-8521496361dd

Any suggestion on how to solve this issue would be appreciated.

i7 7820X
GTX 1080

Windows 10 v 1809 with the latest updates applied.
MPC BE 1.5.3 (build 4419) beta (the current stable release crashes as well).

Flybar don't support High DPI.

About osd text - it's scale by DPI.

Regarding: Infinite Pin Tee Filter
Shouldn't the 64-bit version of mpc-be load/use qcap.dll from SysWow64 instead from System32 ??

[Aleksoid1978]

Regarding: Infinite Pin Tee Filter
Shouldn't the 64-bit version of mpc-be load/use qcap.dll from SysWow64 instead from System32 ??

It's automatically load from system.

[nevcairiel]

Regarding: Infinite Pin Tee Filter
Shouldn't the 64-bit version of mpc-be load/use qcap.dll from SysWow64 instead from System32 ??

Contrary to the names of the folders...

- system32 is the "primary" directory for all OS components. On a 64-bit OS, this folder contains 64-bit DLLs.
- SysWow64 is the "compatibility" directory, containing 32-bit components to run on a 64-bit OS. WoW64 stands for "Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit"

So a 64-bit application should pull from "system32", a 32-bit application on a 64-bit OS should use "SysWow64".

crash when saving thumbnails, but not every time, and I don't know why……

mpc be 4450 + lav 0.73.1-28 + madvr 0.92.17

[lvqcl]

MPC-BE switched from libaom to dav1d, so I decided to test its performance on my (rather old) CPU.

Test CPU: Intel Core2 Q9300 (quad core, up to SSE4.1, no AVX)
Test video: Gangnam Style 720p from Youtube
All tested decoders are 64-bit.
Results:

1) LAVFilters 0.73.1-28: 46.0 FPS (CPU usage is about 50%)
2) MPC-BE filters 1.5.3.4450: 45.7 FPS (CPU usage is about 50%)
3) MPC-BE filters 1.5.3.4455: 87.8 FPS (CPU usage is slightly above 80%)

(LAVFilters and MPC-BE 4450 use libaom, MPC-BE 4455 uses dav1d).

Nice speed increase, even on non-AVX2 processor.

The option "prefer external audio files over embedded audio track" doesn't work with the /dub command line switch.

[Aleksoid1978]

The option "prefer external audio files over embedded audio track" doesn't work with the /dub command line switch.

I can not confirm(reproduce).
Using option "prefer external audio files over embedded audio track" - always external audio selected.

[crazyy]

I can not confirm(reproduce).
Using option "prefer external audio files over embedded audio track" - always external audio selected.

OK.I just tested it again.(from command line with /dub switch) The option works with local external audio files (in PC's disc, both video and audio) but don't with online external audio files (in https server, both video and audio) So the program loads video and audio nicely but does not select external audio track, i need to select it manually.

[Aleksoid1978]

Yes, it's limitation. When use external from http server it's don't work.

[crazyy]

OK. but the program should prefer the external one if it was loaded through the /dub switch without needing an option, I think.

I changed that area by adding LAV and selecting PREFER, but that didn't help, still crackling.
