When creating thumbnails for video (File - Save Thumbnails), is there any way to set the default location so that it goes directly to the folder where the video file is?

No.
This is a player, not a thumbnail generator.

I have an issue, hoping someone can help. I've now managed to use MPC-BE as an external player for KODI 18 in Windows 10 (20H2) and I'm using the latest nightly LAV filters.

I have my 1080p movies streaming from an FTP server. When I use KODI's internal player, they begin to play immediately with both KODI 17 (using madVR with the latest LAV filters) and KODI 18's internal player. But when I use MPC-BE as an external player it takes at least 20 seconds before the 1080p movie begins playing, almost as though MPC-BE is buffering very slowly. Local files play immediately. Anyone know what could be causing this?

MPC-BE's filters don't support opening via FTP. If using with LAV - maybe it's LAV Source "fault", i don't know.
In case anybody else has this problem -- turns out the issue was indeed LAV filters. I've been using the newer nightly releases, seemingly without issue. When I reverted back to the latest 0.74.1 official release, however, the issue went away. All is good now. :o

Please use r5880 for translation.

I have a question relating the graph of MPC-VR, which I don't understand what it shoes, if it is correct or wrong.
For easiest test, I use MPC-BE and external LAV Filters (latest nightly build) (Audio, Video, Splitter and Splitter Source) for Software Deinterlacer on/off toggling and when I use Software deinterlacing in LAV Video on this sample.mkv (https://filehorst.de/d/dqmHnyet) the graph is linear:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14D6ghi52Ui1wtbQfj-IMf15knCvAjf1d/view?usp=sharing
but if I disable Software Deinterlacing and the Nvidia driver uses it's own deinterlacing I get choppy green line in graph:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fCpz8anJKkvKCG784BTSCGnORPgXuf42/view?usp=sharing

The refresh rate is both set to 59.940 Hz. I have a Nvidia GPU. I must test the old RX480 also, but I am tired of testing today. On the RX 5700 XT the deinterlacer is broken.

And two other questions:
1.) How is this kind of "GPU Deinterlacer" called? I mean the opposite of Software renderer would be hardware Deinterlacer, which leads me to my next question
2.) Is this kind of Deinterlacer in the chip itself (-> hardware in the GPU) or in the driver of GPU?

If the video frequency is less than the display frequency, then this is possible. Even if the frequencies are equal, the graph can also be uneven when deinterlacing (this is a more incomprehensible case). The problem is that we currently have no control over the output time of the second frame.

1.) How is this kind of "GPU Deinterlacer" called? I mean the opposite of Software renderer would be hardware Deinterlacer, which leads me to my next question
I don't know what it's called. See the "Information" window and the information provided by the DXVA Checker for the DXVA2 and D3D11 video processors.

2.) Is this kind of Deinterlacer in the chip itself (-> hardware in the GPU) or in the driver of GPU?
I dont know. This question is for those who wrote the driver.

I have an idea, which may look good in options:
Option -> Playback -> Remove the example of preferred languages "eng jap swe" but add this example as a Tooltip which shows if the user moves the mouse over "Subtitles" and "Audio" or maybe on the whole "Default track preference"
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YkQBVjtX8C3PVsj_Kwvl-OptAvQ71o97/view?usp=sharing

Is "eng, jap and swe" still valid or correct? I remember of a conversation , I think it was some time ago in MKVToolnix development that "jap" is a bad abbreviation and it should be "ja" or "jpn". But I must admit that I don't know about the standards which must be preserved in this area. ISO, ...

Yes, that's correct. The title of the track that says "Japanese" is compared. In new versions, you can also compare by code, it is now also present in the name if the code differs from the beginning of the language.

[Klaus1189]

OK, it was just a thought that this options page would look a bit more clean. It's only cosmetical choice. Only seen by user if (s)he needs it and moves mouse over it. I was inspired by playlist option to show the full path of the entry with the tooltip feature.

Is there a way to save a specific window preset in the settings? When you open MPC-BE you can select either "1" Minimal, "2" Compact or "3" Normal". I prefer "2" Compact but every time I open MPC-BE it defaults to "1" Minimal.

[v0lt]

I do not confirm. The preset is remembered.
If you use saving settings in the player folder, then check the write access of the INI file.

INI file has write access. Which line in the INI controls the preset?

Edit: Never mind. I figured it out. I didn't have Users set to write access.

I know it might be weird, but do the mouse actions need to have separate button choices by button/gesture? I've been using scroll-up for entering/exiting fullscreen for 15 years, and while that's probably pretty idiosyncratic, it also doesn't make sense why I can map that to middle-click but not scroll-up, when they're in the same menu with mostly the same options.

Question - We can set up MPC-BE to remember the file playback position but is there any way to tell MPC-BE to remember what subtitle was last selected for any file (similar to what KODI does)? I have movies where I need a specific sub enabled or disabled but would love not having to do this manually each time.

Shaders have been changed, both binary and text resources. I think so, but I will not check, laziness.

We don't have a DVD-Video like this to reproduce your problem.

[clsid]

Maybe test with a debug build? The logging of IKsPropertySet in "CMpcVideoRenderer::Set" might reveal something.

[cmhrky]

Ok. I can test debug build. But I don't know where to download the debug build.

[v0lt]

MPC VR Nightly builds (https://yadi.sk/d/X0EVMKP4TcmnHQ). There is always a debug version available.

Does it log to a file or is DebugView (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/debugview) needed?

Hello everyone!
I have a problem with MPC-BE and madVR.
If from windows I set the audio output "topping" to send the audio to the DAC / AMP Topping to listen to headphones, madvr goes crazy: I lose many frames.

If instead from windows I set the optical output of the motherboard to send the audio to the DAC / AMP for listening in headphones, madvr works as well as ever.
This problem is only with MPC-BE. With MPC-HC no problem both if the audio output is "topping" and if the audio output is "optical"

In MPC-BE I added LAV video and audio filters to MPC-BE.
And they are the same as MPC-HC.

As clsid correctly noted, you need a DebugView (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/debugview).

It would be nice if you can define the type of DVD-Video protection. You may need utilities like AnyDVD HD (https://www.redfox.bz/anydvdhd.html), CloneDVD (https://www.redfox.bz/clonedvd.html) or something similar from the Decrypting forum (https://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=9).

MPC VR did not create a log file.

[v0lt]

@cmhrky
1. Run DebugView.
2. Run MPC-BE with MPC VR debug version. Open DVD-Video. Close MPC-BE.
3. In DebugView. File->Save As... log file.

Also, I don't know if this is a problem but there are no chapter marks on the Seek Bar. But there are chapters.
