Media Player Classic - BE Win32/x64

[v0lt]

I tested with Intel UHD 630 - working.

I have already said that the tex with an asterisk in the statistics does not mean anything. Check how the picture changes when watching SD video on a FullHD display or more.

If you have any demo file which can show a measningful difference also my wooden eyes ;) can tell, please post link.
Open a YouTube video, set the quality to 360p, expand the window to full screen, switch the setting (you will need MPC VR 0.6.6.2005 or newer).

[Shark007]

as instructed, but my old eyes can hardly see the 360 image.

It looks like a sharpening filter was applied. Some people might like it, some will hate it. It tends to make faces look unnatural. Better suitable for cartoons/anime/games.

Yes it works.
You have a 4k display, so you should be able to see the effect on 720p video.

@Klaus1189, @s0meone_new
Thanks. Updated.

@s0meone_new
It looks like you are not working with the original text file. Your files are missing a BOM marker and a newline at the end of the file.

You can open the link to mplayerc.hu.rc.txt in a browser and save it to a file (File > Save as...). This will give you the original file.
You can also open the mplayerc.hu.rc.txt page, hover over the "Raw" link, right-click and "Save target as...".

[s0meone_new]

Ok then let's test it:

Is that okay? :)

Yes, this is the original file, and it should be used for further translation changes.

I suspect somewhere in internal Decoder settings window, but I am lost.

MPC Video Renderer 0.6.7.2013 (https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/releases/tag/0.6.7)

Changes:
Added "Request Super Resolution" option for Nvidia and Intel graphics adapters. Hardware and driver support required. The display of "SuperResolution*" in the statistics only means that the request was sent successfully.
Recommended version of MPC-BE 1.6.6 or later.

@beter
Thanks. Updated.

[Blue_MiSfit]

The super resolution feature is really cool :)

[v0lt]

Super Resolution has limitations that may vary between Nvidia and Intel.

I tested Super Resolution on an Intel UHD 750 (driver 30.0.101.1273).
NV12 -> B8G8R8A8_UNORM - works
NV12 -> R10G10B10A2_UNORM - works
NV12 -> R16G16B16A16_FLOAT - not supported by D3D11 VP, used R10G10B10A2_UNORM.
P010 -> B8G8R8A8_UNORM - does not work, there is a shift of 1 pixel to the left and up.
P010 -> R10G10B10A2_UNORM - does not work, there is a shift of 1 pixel to the left and up.
P010 -> R16G16B16A16_FLOAT - not supported by D3D11 VP, used R10G10B10A2_UNORM.

Results may vary on other adapters and newer drivers.

Is there a list of supported 1080P and/or 4K HDMI Capture Cards for MPC-BE?

Such as, Decklink or Elgato?

[huhn]

the player is not that important you just need directshow driver that pretty much up to the card is like replacing the internal filters with lav filter or ffdshow/haali media source.

magewell cards usual have directshow support out of the box.
maybe avermedia too but the rest is very unlikely to support dshow. meaning they need a custom driver or something that translates the output to directshow.

audio is BTW very limited on all these cards.

Thank you.
I really like the MPC-BE interface and I use it for watching critical movie rips.

So, this may not work out of the box?
I already have MPC-BE setup for MadVR, using LAV filters.
I'll go ahead and research whether DirectShow is already part of my setup or if I have to install it. DirectShow has been around forever but never something I've had to worry about before.

The Magewell are beyond my budget for this project.
I'm getting into it mostly to watch sports.

Sad to hear I may not be happy with audio though??
I ordered a AVerMedia GC573 and Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Recorder HD and will see which one works best for me.

[huhn]

directshow is not something you just install.
the developer of the driver have to do that or you need a hack.
the Blackmagic as discontinued dshow support 6 years ago...
the aver has dshow driver that are utterly broken but an injector exist that may work with mpc-be. https://github.com/defl/directshow_metadata_injector_filter

also madVR is design to not work with any capture card.

[CZ Eddie]

Ahh, thanks huhn. I read about that hack over on AVS when they were discussing problems with HDR passthrough.
I'm not too worried about HDR since my primary concern is non-critical 1080P with Dolby Digital.
Guess I'll find out more in a day or two when the cards arrive.

[kirakami]

Features suggestion:

Option to choose Vulkan Video Renderer in Options > Video. Would like see this feature in MPC-BE that MPV already has when gpu-api=vulkan is added to mpv.conf file.

Option to enable Virtual Surround Sound 5.1 and or 7.1 option in Audio > Sound Processing. For Headphones.

Equalizer Presets option in Audio > Sound Processing. This will help with USB headphones and speakers, and PnP USB Sound Cards that don't come with its own Sound Software.

[huhn]

they already working on there own video renderer so porting mpv for directshow is unlikely...

mpc audio render has crossfeed which i ask for many many years ago and they don't wanted to add it but did it anyway.

getting HRTF for headphone in is a lot to ask for. it's quite niche
ffmpeg has 8.105 and 8.89.

https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#headphone

this may even work directly see sound processing in mpc-be.

ffdshow audio processor has quite some filter for this which should still work. just to name an alternative.

[SirMaster]

Can't you just use HeSuVi with basically anything including MPC to get virtual surround on headphones?

https://sourceforge.net/projects/hesuvi/

[s0meone_new]

I know that the program can play music with these features.
But! :)
I think more people would use this player for listening to music if it had better musical features and appearance when someone plays music with it.

for example: it has an equalizer and then a graphic equalizer display appears during playback
and etc.
So when someone starts a music, the program starts with a different appearance.

It's just an idea.

https://www.google.com/search?q=music+player+windows

This utopia. I don't know of any media player that is both a great video and music player.

[s0meone_new]

But someone else can do what surpasses these.
They may not have the features or functions that users really need.
What they know may not even be important to users.
I mean some settings are too complicated or they are not even used as a media center, media library etc. But an attractive exterior (ui, skin) and a high-quality player may be more popular.

[P.J]

When I open this video with MPC-BE x64 1.6.6, it plays at low volume, but if I press Stop and then Play, it plays at high volume: :confused:

It's working. It's not perfect but I've got some nice hopes to make it work great.

Greetings,
thank you for your work on MPCVR.
What is the function of little green dot that moves from right to left below the text in statistics window?
Thank you.

[v0lt]

What is the function of little green dot that moves from right to left below the text in statistics window?
It moves from right to left each time a frame is drawn.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-1Z9Sp_eJy2ujGwQ4e8z1VL0GSTA4tFV/view?usp=share_link
I confirm, but I don't know why this happens with DirectSound output.

[Sunspark]

I confirm, but I don't know why this happens with DirectSound output.

I tested this, it doesn't happen for me with DirectSound output. (Why even use this when MPC audio renderer is better?)

Possible reasons: 3.5mm analog output (me) vs HDMI digital output? Build regression? (I am using an older version.)

Update: VLC can't play this file at all. I see the de-interlacing kick-in and then it goes skip-skip-skip. There might be a problem with this file.

[kopija]

Is it meant as some kind of troubleshooting feature?

This problem doesn't happen with MPC-HC :confused:

Does MPC have a setting for AC3 Dynamic Range like PowerDVD?

https://images2.imgbox.com/41/6d/ipb8d2Vf_o.png

[Sunspark]

Try using the loudness equalization setting that is built into your soundcard. The audio needs to be in shared mode not exclusive.

[v0lt]

Does MPC have a setting for AC3 Dynamic Range like PowerDVD?
Send us this source code from PowerDVD under a free license. We will look and think.

Or use what is available.

1. View > Options > Internal Filters > Audio Decoders > Audio decoder configuration > Apply DRC for AC-3 and E-AC-3.

2. View > Options > Sound processing
Mix channels to: Stereo
Request stereo from the decoder = on
FFmpeg filters = on
Presets = "For audio with whisper and explosion parts"

[Sunspark]

@v0lt I have tried DRC checkbox in the past, it never really did anything when what most people are really looking for is louder voices when down-mixing. I'm not sure how well it works. Handbrake states "Dynamic range compression only works when the source audio is AC3 and you are encoding to another format, like AAC. It has no effect on AC3 pass-through or on DTS or MPEG-2 audio."

I have a question, the "request stereo from the decoder" checkbox.. isn't that redundant if one is going to be using the mpc mixer? If the decoder is being told to send stereo, then it will do the down-mixing as I understand it, so what's the point of then using the mpc mixer? It's already been down-mixed at that point except without the ability to adjust values. When I tested it awhile ago, that checkbox actually made things quieter on a 5.1->2.1 down-mix.

[clsid]

Some Dolby audio formats have an internal downmix configuration. So the decoder can also produce stereo output in that case. Might differ from a standard generic downmix.

One easy way to boost the volume of voices when downmixing is to use 1.0 as Center mix level in LAV Audio Decoder. Dunno if the internal decoder has similar option.

[v0lt]

If you think the checkbox is superfluous or you don't like the result, then just don't enable this feature.

The MPC-BE channel mixer will only work if the input channel layout differs from the selected channel layout.

[Sunspark]

One easy way to boost the volume of voices when downmixing is to use 1.0 as Center mix level in LAV Audio Decoder. Dunno if the internal decoder has similar option.

It does, I figured that +3.0 dB is the equivalent.

What I never did, was to pipe the output of +3.0 and LAV at 1.0 and overlay them to see if they are the same or different. I just don't have the software for that.
