With Win11 24H2, if you go to "System > Display > Color Management" and enable "Automatically manage color for apps", MPC-BE does not auto-switch to HDR anymore and continues playing HDR videos in SDR only.
I don't remember seeing this option in Win11 23H2.

With "Automatically manage color for apps" disabled, HDR videos auto-switch to HDR like they always do.

Found similar issues logged for MPV and HDRTray as well:
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/14567
https://github.com/res2k/HDRTray/issues/13

Please let me know if you need any debug data from my system, and also let me know how to get it. Happy to help

With Win11 24H2
Windows 11 24H2 users complain of a lot of display issues. How so? (https://mspoweruser.com/windows-11-24h2-users-complain-of-a-lot-of-display-issues-how-so/)
Wait for updates from Microsoft. :p

Auto Color Management is sort of a "fake" HDR. Do not enable it if you want to use real HDR.

Supporting ACM requires using new API function from 24H2 SDK:

I'm on windows 11 pro, after build 64 for me the option load external subtitles not work.

Not load the subtitles.

I was watching a lot of old 4:3 tv shows on OLED TV and it started to develop a mild burn in where the edges of 4:3 frame are. As a measure to avoid making a burn in even worse, I started to use Menu-View-Video Frame-Override Aspect Ratio-16:9 while watching the 4:3 content.
Obviously, picture distortion lowers the overall experience and I remembered how the old TVs used to have "smart stretch" non linear resize where central part of the picture is not as stretched as the edges. After some digging on google, I found a handy HLSL shader that can be used in MPC-BE:
https://github.com/sickgreg/Realtime-Superview-Stretch/releases/tag/V3.0

I added it as a post resize shader and it does look much better than linear 4:3->16:9 resize we can activate from the view menu.

My question is, is there any way to automate forcing the picture resize to 16:9 and enabling Post resize shaders with 1 key ? Ideally by hitting that key second time would disable Post resize shaders and set override aspect ratio to default.

No...

[Ravioli]

No...
I see, thank you.

[excellentswordfight]

I don't understand what you mean by 'first page'?

I can find 'options' by selecting the 'View' tab but can't find anything in the top left corner.
Options->Player, then "New process for every file"

Havnt been working for me though since I upgraded to Windows 11, havnt updated MPC-BE in a while though, so might be fixed.

[mood]

I found the problem of load external subtitles.

Not load subtitles if the subtitle encoding is in ANSI

in UTF-8 load without problem.

This problem has been around since build 64, I'm now on buid 91 and I have this bug.

[jmatos72]

The same here. The last working with ansi subtitles is MPC-BE.1.7.3.65.x64.

For exact this reason always provide the devs sample file(s).

[v0lt]

1. As Klaus1189 correctly noted, if you have problems with subtitles, you need to upload these subtitles.
2. If the subtitles are not in UTF-8 encoding, be sure to tell us what encoding they are in. What is the language of the subtitles?
3. Also provide your Windows locale.

I think it's worth splitting the file "custom_messages.iss" into separate files for easier translation... Done (https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/MPC-BE/tree/master/distrib/CustomMessages).

MPC Video Renderer 0.8.7.2295 (https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/releases/tag/0.8.7)

Changes:
Cosmetic fixes to the settings window.
Statistics font size now scales according to Windows text scale.
Improved handling of switching the display to and from HDR mode.
Added the "Adjust the frame presentation time" setting. The feature without setting was added earlier in the 0.7.3 release for smooth viewing of interlaced video on high-frequency displays.
Fixed work with HDR modes when the "Automatically manage color for apps" option is enabled in Windows 11 24H2.

PS: MPC Video Renderer 0.8.7 is included in the MPC-BE 1.7.3.121 installer.

Does anyone else find that using shift-F5 for Save Image (Auto) with MPC-VR doesn't save the same image as shown on the screen?
I'm finding I have to go to the next keyframe to get the previous keyframe's image. I've found this to be the case even when I tried it out a year ago.

Switch "Swap effect" to "Discard".

All builds crash with the new Windows Update 24h2! It takes ~10 videos to load than crash. Only the compatibility mode to Windows 8 helps... Please fix this.

[huhn]

how about the crash report?

[v0lt]

Roll back broken Windows updates.
MPC-BE player works fine on my Windows 10 22H2. :p

What a great statement for programmers... I don't want a crash report from my porn videos on the Internet, thanks. Test it yourself, after a few files MPC-BE crashes with the latest Windows version... No matter what filter and setting...

[Klaus1189]

What filters do you use?
Such as external decoders, external video renderer, ...?

Does a crash report really contain source file info? And/or other personal info?
You can send a link of an uploaded crash to devs via pm. No need to make it public.
Also hardware info such as GPU and driver version is really useful for devs.

Not confirm.
Use Windows 11 24H2 - all is perfect.

Done. I sent the dump file to @alexins. I use the MPC Video Renderer but the crash also happens with all other video renderers such as the Enhanced or Sync Renderer... After 10 videos in a row the crash occurs...

Intel i9 14900k,
ASUS Nvidia RTX 4090,
ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 APEX ENCORE,
2x 24 Gb Ram, 7200 mhz (TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert CTCWD548G7200HC34ADC01)
Nvidia 565.90 drivers
Windows 11 x64, 24H2
No other crashes...

[Aleksoid1978]

Play 10 or more videos in a row...

I don't have so much free time to watch 10 videos. Or video can be short ? What video?
