Yes - it's working "bad". If need - use yt-dlp.
I'm not interest spend my time for such urls, sorry :)

[Sunspark]

MPC Video Renderer is good. People using EVR-CP should give it a try.

I had the thought that it might help adoption to bundle it with MPC-BE.

OK. Thanks.

[cmhrky]

I do not know if it is possible to do this. In any case, now nothing is planned.

If yt-dlp.exe and ffmpeg.exe are in the same folder, it can record.
Suggestion: If a url is opened with yt-dlp, yt-dlp can do the job when trying to save with "File > Save As..".

Simplified Chinese update：）

[v0lt]

It seems like the subtitle text size decrease/increase is not working. "Subtitle text size: XX" OSD appears, but nothing happens without reload the subtitle.
Fixed today. Also works for subtitles in SubRip format.

@wushantao
Thanks. Updated.

Some other translations have also been updated.

Video where 'MP4(H.264) 720p' doesn't play but MPC-BE just stays paused: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah2Ioe1fo3U
Pressing play or trying to play from the middle of the video jumps right to the end.
Most other resolutions and formats work fine. Happens with more and more videos in the last few weeks. Any ideas?

This means that the video in this format is simply "unavailable", it is not completely uploaded, usually the file is simply without data.

This can be easily checked by downloading this format with any download program.

Hi, I've noticed when using DirectX11 mode of MPC Video Renderer with XySubFilter, in full-screen mode, there's always a flickering when the first sub pic appears. It's probably due to the XySubFilter in DirectX 9 mode.

The flickering is annoying, my best shot for now is to go back to DirectX 9 mode. Any better solution that I can use it in DirectX11 mode, without the flickering?

Please wait, decision in progress :)

I know different XySubFilters: one (https://github.com/Cyberbeing/xy-VSFilter/releases), two (https://github.com/pinterf/xy-VSFilter/releases), three (https://github.com/Masaiki/xy-VSFilter/releases).

[Sunspark]

Is there really that much difference between the external subtitle filter and the internal one? I was under the impression that they share a common codebase.

[huhn]

long ago yes the majority are vsfilter based but libass is different has different strengths over vsfilter and is still in active development so even the different xy subfilter are very different.

Actually I have tried these and ended with the same result.

Added experimental support for image upscaling by the "Jinc2" algorithm.
Recommended version of MPC-BE 1.6.2.6991 (0a27de8af) or later.

[Perenista]

I did a comparison between MPC-HC and MPC-BE playing the same file with these specs:

https://pastebin.com/2t26ZNvx

MPC-HC played correctly, while MPC-BE failed, because if you move back and forth macroblocks will be seen. If you don't touch the seekbar everything is fine.

Then I did a comparison of filters being loaded.

This was the end result:

MPC-HC

- SaneAR Audio Renderer
- madVR
- Audio Switcher
- LAV Video Decoder (internal)
- ffdshow Audio Processor
- LAV Audio Decoder
- LAV Splitter Source (internal)

MPC-BE

- Default DirectSound Device
- madVR Renderer
- ffdshow Audio Processor
- LAV Video Decoder
- Audio Switcher
- MPC Audio Decoder
- MPC Matroska Source

After I changed MPC-BE to load all of these, the problem stopped.

- Default DirectSound Device
- madVR Renderer
- ffdshow Audio Processor
- LAV Video Decoder
- Audio Switcher
- LAV Audio Decoder
- LAV Splitter Source

Any thoughts?

[v0lt]

Any thoughts?
Use the latest version of MPC-BE and include the version number when you write "bug report".
Use built-in filters including video decoder.
The MediaInfo report for a regular file is useless because prevents others from checking exactly your file (other similar files are reproduced well by them).

When I play HDR movies passed through to my LG C1 OLED and have the seekbar open, the colour changes and has a slight green tint. When the seekbar goes away it looks normal. This only seems to happen on my LG C1 and not my monitor. Is this because of the ABL (auto brightness limiter) on the C1, a bug, or something causing it that I can change to fix it?

I have just discovered MPC VR recently and used madvr before, so I have only used the last two versions of mpc vr.

MPC VR just do HDR Passthrough using Windows API. If you TV enable some logic - disable it :)

Figured out what was causing it. I have two displays connected to my PC (LG OLED and gaming monitor). I only use one display at a time, and it's only when I switch to my LG OLED without signing out or restarting my PC does this issue happen. A simple signing out of windows, then signing back in fixes it. Probably a dual display/windows issue, but easy enough to fix myself.

One more question though. When I set 'Auto display HDR on/off' to fullscreen only, it only works if fullscreen exclusive mode is checked. I don't particularly like fullscreen exclusive mode with MPC VR because it takes away the seek bar. Is it supposed to only work with exclusive mode, or is mine not working properly?

Yes ...

[huhn]

the problem here is the wording.

a user understands a fullscreen anything that takes the entire screen even through this is technically windowed fullscreen if exclusive mode is not used.

[bozek]

I'm not sure whether this has already been reported but the mediainfo dialog looks a bit out of place on Win11.

Right. Basically i'm wondering if auto HDR can work with windowed Fullscreen, or does it have to be exclusive Fullscreen.

[huhn]

if you don't use it it will use HDR all the time and with the option it will use it with exclusive mode only.

@devs. I recently purchased a blu-ray containing two movies but the releasing company used a "/" to seperate the titles in the volumelabel.
Of course this causes several problems. One is that auto-load external audio fails now because "/" is not allowed as part of a windows file name. Is there maybe a way to fix this ? Maybe simply ignoring the "/" so that are just two spaces between the titles ?

Brililant - thank you very much !

Follow up: One suggestion for fine tuning this. It would be nice if I could add a parameter to the external audio files so that it gets loaded only to the correct movie. Maybe the mpls ??

i have a question about the experimental jinc2 scaler.
the code is the precise jinc version and it uses 3 tab right?
while the 2 lanczos version and there number represent the tab number?

at least 3 different implementation of ewa lanczos...

madVR jinc3 https://abload.de/img/madvrfajee.png
mpcVR "jinc2" https://abload.de/img/mpcvrxwkjk.png

as you can see here madVR starts to show the same issues.
mpv ewa https://abload.de/img/mpvamjtt.png
mpv ewa sharp https://abload.de/img/mpvsharp16kyi.png
i could not find the the mpv GLSL shader to the version used in mpcVR
i was wondering if it was the precise one.

how much dependency does mpcVR need? if it is easy to compile i may play around with it myself. if i'm very lucky i may find the problem.

its really easy to compile you need visual studio 2019 or earlier. You clone the git rep, then update the submodule and you can compile afterward.

/dub option doesn't see files the path to which is longer than 259 characters.

Support for long paths is very limited due to the fact that Windows does not have a normal API for working with long paths. Yes, I know about the "\\?" prefix and about removing the restriction in specially tuned Windows 10. But this is not a normal API that MicroSoft could have done 16 or 21 years ago.

But you can try MPC-BE 1.6.2.7111 (64f50e5da) when it's available.

[Sunspark]

Is it possible to bundle an option that grants permission to write this string to the registry? It would solve the longpath problem.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]
"LongPathsEnabled"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]

And then rewrite the entire code for working with files twice.

[Sunspark]

Why re-write any code at all?

If the registry key is present (it's opt-in) then you don't have to worry about the max path length of 255-260 anymore and you don't have to re-write your existing code.

One caveat though, this key only applies to Windows 10 build 1607 and above. So that means the option needs to be greyed out if winver is below a certain build number.

Cool. You know how to support long paths in MPC-BE! It remains to restore the player in systems other than Windows 10 with the specified key.

[Sunspark]

I don't think there's that many people that need long paths anyway to begin with. I only ever ran into it as an issue once at work on a network drive. So, based on my personal experience, I think it's good enough to have partial support where it's present for builds over x but not for others. This feature is only a nice to have anyway. Could always just be a FAQ item too and people can do it themselves.

[Aleksoid1978]

To support "real" long paths(not with "\\?" prefix), you need to rewrite a lot of code, especially considering that this support is only in Windows 10 - this is a very decent amount of work and testing.
Personally, I'm not interested.

But - patch are welcome.
