@s0meone_new
Thanks. Update in r6821.

I guess for the Recent Files menu, the ability to open with a hotkey is required.
Added in r6824.

I'm using a nirsoft software SoundVolumeView to toggle the 'Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device' option for the specified device.
Is it possible to add one hotkey for Audio Exclusive Mode on/off in MPC-BE?
Changing the "DeviceMode" in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MPC-BE\Filters\MPC Audio Renderer] via Windows Registry Editor needs administrator privilege. Any alternative suggestion? Thanks.

MPC builds for the last two month or so, do not play AV1 encoded files, such as https://www.elecard.com/storage/video/Stream2_AV1_4K_22.7mbps.webm

MPC shows an error Like this (https://ibb.co/H25SrqH) if i have LAV Splitter enabled in external filters, or Like this (https://ibb.co/n0sG8P5) if it is disabled.

Hi having a strange issue with last few builds of MPC-BE (1.58, 1.6, 1.61x nightly builds) with "New process for every file", its been hit and miss for me in getting it to work, with windows 10 64bit home edition (latest build) all windows updates.

It did work fine with 1.58 for months, I was able to open 3-4 video files playing in separate windows fine but stopped working oddly recently. Tried the other builds and noticed different MPC-BE versions (1.6, 1.61x betas) had new options such as save to registry or save to profile, saving to profile worked on 1.6.1 beta but once again few days later it just stopped working, even trying to click open new process and save and then profile and save no luck.

Its possible some software glitch exist my side or mpcbe but not sure, but "New process for every file" has not worked right for me, even with fresh win10 installs, fully uninstalling mpc be and settings also, reg cleaning etc.

I have latest MPC-HC installed with "open new player for each media file played" which works fine for now.

Any idea on how to fix this?

I noticed on the reviews a member called TheGhost has the exact same issue, so I am glad Its not just me.
he mentioned it here: https://www.videohelp.com/software/MPC-BE/reviews#17742

Already fixed. But you need to go into the settings at least once, change, apply and return back and apply. Then everything will work as it should.

thanks, I did try this a few times, I even alternated so tried to save a different setting like single process, save, exit and then reboot then try the correct setting of new process, save and exit, no luck. Even rebooting
Pc few times no luck sadly.

Use latest SVN version ?

Did try 1.58, 1.6, a couple 1.61x beta nightly builds from last 2-3 weeks with no luck sadly. Its something I can't explain since it occurs even with a fresh forward of windows 10.

it sounds similar to what the Ghost member also gets who also done a fresh format of windows 10, seems to somehow defaults back to single process, despite it being on the right new process setting under options.

Have not tried any beta builds from this week since moved over to mpc hc where open new player for new media file works well.

I think the issue appeared slightly better when there was a separate profile to save too option or store settings .ini option.

Ill try again in the future with newer builds see if I have any luck.

[Ilovetv9]

Since updating to 1.6.1, if I rotate the video, then open/play another video, it resets the rotation properly like it should. But if I zoom in (pan-n-scan) the video playing, then open/play another video file, it does not reset to default zoom pan-n-scan like it should, it stays zoomed in. I have "remember last pan-n-scan zoom" unchecked in settings. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a mpc-be bug?

Hello, this might be a newb question. I am using MPC-BE (1.5.8.6302). Also using the MPC Video Renderer. When I set the Fullscreen playback to change refresh rates automatically, it doesn't take into effect. I have to manually change it in my Intel NUC Graphics Panel. When I was using madVR, it would change the refresh rate automatically when I specified the different display modes. Am I missing something simple of why the refresh rate is not changing? Thanks for your time.

1 - Show you options for "Fullscreen playback to change refresh rates automatically".
2 - You use old version on MPC-BE.

So, I updated to the latest stable release (MPC-BE.1.6.1.6845) and still see the issue of refresh rate not being changed automatically by MPC-BE. Here is a screenshot of my "Fullscreen" options. I tried enabling/disabling "Launch files in Fullscreen" and that had no effect on fixing the refresh rate change issue.

@scollaco:
I can not confirm the issue "auto refresh rate switching of MPC-BE not working":
I tried latest stable MPC-BE 1.6.1 with EVR-CP and also with MPC Video Renderer (also last stable release - 0.5.6.1807). Both were fine.
What exact GPU do you use and what driver version?

@Ilovetv9:
Using an older version has another Pan&Scan behavior? If yes, what Version is fine for you, so I can test, too.

@Ben.P:
Still waiting for an answer, if you want help :)

Klaus1189: Thank you for trying to help me. I'm using MPC Video Renderer (0.5.7.1812 - nightly build). But, I will switch to the latest stable build (1807) and report back when I get a chance much later today after I get back from work. I am also using an Intel GPU (Intel Core i7-10710U with Intel UHD Graphics) I am at work so don't have the other driver details with me. However, when I was using madVR and gave it different display modes, the auto refresh is working all correctly. it's only when I switched to MPC Video Renderer and wanted to rely on MPC-BE to auto change the refresh rate that it's not doing it for me. Thank again for your time.:)

So I was able to use the stable release of MPC Video Renderer and also am using the latest stable release of MPC-BE. Here is an image of the Render stats for the video in question. The file is 25fps. But, the refresh rate won't automatically change to 25hz. It's stuck at the 23hz that I leave the computer on by default at.

https://imgur.com/a/WWyzqOU

Here again is my Fullscreen settings in MPC-BE:
https://imgur.com/a/FhM4jf9

I did notice that in the render stats, my primary display says "[windowed]". Is that something that is the problem? I don't see any setting to change that.

[Klaus1189]

Please set at first:
- 25 Hz to 50 Hz
- 29 Hz to 59 Hz
- 30 Hz to 60 Hz
so you get the only benefit on interlaced 25/30fps interlaced material - the "motion resolution" of 50p/60p.

Does it switch to 50 Hz for your 25p file?

What monitor do you use? How is it connected?

windowed is not an issue, I use windowed too.

I read that you use a "primary" display. Do you use more than one display? If you do, what happens if you disconnect the other display(s) and test again?

And last but not least set your "Default" refresh rate (see your picture of settings) to the highest your display supports, not 23 Hz but 60 Hz or higher

I am only using one display - JVC Projector (NX7) connected using HDMI from my Yamaha receiver. As I mentioned, I am able to successfully auto change refresh rates when using madVR display modes and not relying on MPC-BE to auto change refresh rates. Also, there are no other displays I'm using, so, I'm not sure why it says "Primary".

When I get time later, I will try testing to use 50hz, 59hz and 60hz instead of 25hz, 29hz and 30hz respectively. I also will set my default to 60hz and not 23hz as I have been doing. Will report back later with my findings. Thanks for your guidance.

@Ilovetv9:

What older version had another pan&scan behavior?
If I uncheck "remember last pan'n'scan zoom" in the settings, shouldn't it reset the defaut zoom pan'n'scan when I play a new video?

I was using 1.5.8 before and it did not have this problem. When I played the next video, it reset the zoom like it should.

I also tested this in mpc-hc and it works properly there. Only after this update using mpc-be does this happen.

[Klaus1189]

What older version had another pan&scan behavior?

Yes, we should start here. If the bug was introduced in some commit. The reason I asked is to track down when a feature ended to work. For this you test two different stable releases. If the older stable is fine and the newest not, then pick a nightly in the middle between the two. If it works, then the commit which introduced the bug is between the middle nightly and the newest stable, so we choose next a nightly in the middle of the first middle nightly and the newest stable. And so on and so on. Till you reach two nightlies and only 1 ... 3 commits are done in between, and only one commit can change this behavior.


If I uncheck "remember last pan'n'scan zoom" in the settings, shouldn't it reset the defaut zoom pan'n'scan when I play a new video?

It depends what you think exactly when it should reset Pan&Scan:
When MPC-BE is closed and opened new or file is closed and played again, ...

I was using 1.5.8 before and it did not have this problem. When I played the next video, it reset the zoom like it should.

I downloaded all different stable releases of MPC-BE and tested each one and on my system - Win10 with all updates up to today - the behavior of 1.4.6 .. 1.6.1 is exactly the same.

Would you mind to test again 1.5.8?


I also tested this in mpc-hc and it works properly there. Only after this update using mpc-be does this happen.

I tested MPC-HC and can confirm, the behavior is different. The Pan&Scan option is only applied during file playback of the file. After opening and playing another file it resets to default Pan&Scan.

In MPC-BE it resets after MPC-BE is closed, started and video is playing again.

Please ask developers if this behavior is intentional.

[Bluedraft]

Hi, I used to use mpc-hc and mpc-be, never had a problem with them, but now I got some issues playing h.264 at 60fps only with mpc-be, I realized that it's cos the option "mixing video renderer 9" that is available on mpc-hc it's missing in mpc-be. Any idea how to fix this, thanks in advance.

[v0lt]

@Ilovetv9
The player does not remember the rotation of the frame, because often the rotation is written in the file properties (the default is that the rotation is 0). And will not remember.

Why does the position and size of the frame get stuck during the session? I do not remember. Perhaps this was requested. Perhaps this is the influence of the ability to remember the result of the commands from the "Video Frame" menu.

@Bluedraft
We do not support legacy renderers (VMR 7/9).

You did not say the model of your video card and the version of the operating system and player.
I think you have a graphics card problem (many AMD graphics cards and some very old Nvidia graphics cards have 60 fps issues). You can try disabling hardware acceleration for H.264 in the video decoder properties.

[scollaco]

I am only using one display - JVC Projector (NX7) connected using HDMI from my Yamaha receiver. As I mentioned, I am able to successfully auto change refresh rates when using madVR display modes and not relying on MPC-BE to auto change refresh rates. Also, there are no other displays I'm using, so, I'm not sure why it says "Primary".

When I get time later, I will try testing to use 50hz, 59hz and 60hz instead of 25hz, 29hz and 30hz respectively. I also will set my default to 60hz and not 23hz as I have been doing. Will report back later with my findings. Thanks for your guidance.

After making the changes, I realized the refresh rate changes happen correctly with SDR movie and it's actually HDR movies that the refresh rate changes don't kick in. It's possibly MPC Video renderer messing things up as it sends the HDR data to the projector. All HDR movies I tested with MPC Video Renderer and auto refresh rate, it kept the display at my default refresh rate (60hz). For SDR movies with MPC Video Renderer, the refresh rate changes happened as expected. So, I'm inclined to believe it might be an issue with MPC Video Renderer.

Thanks for reply v0lt. I've a very old video card, a radeon 4650, disabling the hardware acceleration option in the codec fixed the issue, thanks a lot for your help!

@alex1399,

I have some good news.
The MPV Player developers (https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/7326) have managed to reverse-engineer DolbyVision encoding.
Now DolbyVision-encoded videos can be viewed with normal colors on all monitors/TVs !!

Alex, Please use their open-source code and implement the same in MPC-BE, which is my favorite player!!
Up until now I've refrained from downloading DolbyVision-encoded movies because I don't have a certified monitor, and colors would display in green-magenta tint.
Now that we have the code that solves this issue, you know what to do... ;-)

I've tested on 3 DolbyVision-encoded videos that I have, and with the MPV Player (with special command parameters) - all finally play with normal colors.
The command is:
mpv.exe --target-trc=pq --target-prim=bt.2020 --vo=gpu-next --gpu-context=d3d11 [PATH_TO_VIDEO_FILE]

Cheers!

MPV has a very complex code, especially when it comes to shaders. In addition, an external library is used to play Dolby Vision. As a result, it is very difficult to understand the code.
If someone can do this, that would be great.
