mkvmerge not like these subtitles. many warnings.

[sneaker_ger]

Subtitle start time > end time = bad idea

But mkvmerge should simply drop those lines so I don't know if that's the source of the error you are seeing.

potplayer shows the sub colorful.:scared:

I think - Pot show this subtitles incorrect. Aegisub editor don't show such colors. VLC also show black&white as MPC-BE/MPC-HC.

I look this subtitle file - and don't see any such colors inside ...

[wanezhiling]

Maybe XySubFilter shows incorrect too...

[sneaker_ger]

Cut small part (e.g. 0:0:15 - 0:0:25) of mkv file using mkvmerge split parts feature so we get the fonts plus the dropped lines (hopefully). Your sample may be bad, we don't have what you have. And watch out for mkvmerge error messages, as I said: your ASS file is broken.
Or maybe even make binary sample (using e.g. DGSplit).

As I promised, this is a version with untouched code, just the new OSD Controls, icon and toolbar. I'll be touching the code in the next few weeks to see what I can do with the actual GUI and the playlist part of it.

MPC-BE "GUiMAGiNATiON MOD" PRE-ALPHA 1 - build 534 - X64

- New Controls Toolbar
- New EXE Icon

What's coming:
- New unique file icons for every single extension supported [PRE-ALPHA 2 to PRE-ALPHA 3]
- Modernized native GUI (main, backgrounds, playlists) [ALPHA 1 to FINAL]

Thanks, nice to see this finally being looked at. Love the icon and it's taskbar status display.
The OSD controls looks nice but I feel some icons are a bit thin, perhaps thicken them up a bit to look similar to the cog, the i and the x.
The controls toolbar I think would look better if it was the same shade of grey as the GPU icon or there abouts with the GPU icon also being the same color.

All the icons on the OSD Controls were extracted directly from Windows 10 assets, I agree, however, that they do look a lot thinner than they should be. The trend started with that damn iOS 7 with it's Helvetica Neue Ultra Light font as a standard, I guess. I might provide two versions, one with bolder traces on the OSD controls on the next alpha!

I will re-do the controls toolbar to be flat dark-grey, kind of just exactly as you want it. You might expect it soon. The icons on the toolbar will also change it from Win8 standard to Win10 as soon as I get my hands on proper assets for those controls. Guess I'll have to wait for Visual Studio 2015 on July 20th :D

[tjcinnamon]

Saw this version has different set of bug fixes.

does this handle HTTP RTMP streams better than MPC-HC. When I watch an RTMP stream on Kodi (XBMC) it works really well (at least doesn't crash often), on MPC-HC the stream doesn't buffer well and is prone to crashing.

Curious if that was fixed/enhanced in this version.

I have used Nev's mingw /w XhmikosR's MSYS files for a long time but the 2 lib's required for MPC-BE never seem compatible and always fail to compile, I have always had to source the 2 libs from a different toolchain. Nev's recent update to GCC 5.1 prompted me to try this all again.

Is it possible to add:

Copy path/URL to clipboard

maybe in the File menu?

Sometimes, I need to copy the url to a stream, and the only way I know how to do it, is to open the playlist and "Copy to clipboard".

Also:

I don't know if "Save as" is working well. Everytime I tried to save a fully buffered youtube video, mpc-be starts downloading it again. Is this normal?

Thanks

[Telion]

@Aleksoid1978

In regard to saving youtube video, I suggest to store a buffered temp file under the same name that is already displayed in the seekbar - instead of using mpcNNN.mp4 random names. Then it would be very easy to perform a simple file copy operation - in a file manager or internally - of a fully buffered and correctly named video from the %TEMP% dir without the need to redownload it once again.

[Aleksoid1978]

I change "Save As" mechanism. Now - if youtube fully buffered will not be re-downloaded when saving.

Version: MPC-BE 1.4.5 (build 557) beta - x86, x64

If you add more than one file into the playlist and play next file in folder is active BE does not play the next file in the folder at the end, it just pauses.

Can't test Sandboxie - on my PC it's not working, many crash & error :)

[ryrynz]

Yes - so conceived.

Why?

Current behavior should be an option not the default..

Load one file (I want to watch this)
Load next file in different folder which has multiple files (Don't know how many episodes I'll watch)
Next file in folder doesn't load even though it's set to.

Why do I have to break out of full screen to delete the first file so the next one in the folder plays?

[Aleksoid1978]

Why?

If the playlist consists of only one file - working go to the prev/next in folder.

If the playlist consists of several files - working playback & navigation only in playlist.

I'm using 557

I'm on a 3MB/s connection, and it says now: 7.17MB/s ... I wish :)

...now 7.72...


...now 8.01...

I can see the video size increasing and I can guess the real download speed is less than 1MB/s.

2 feature requests:

1) Add to playlist from clipboard

If I want to add something to my playlist, it has to be a local file. I can't see away of adding a url. The only workaround is drag & drop from browser.

2) preload next youtube video from playlist

Is it possible to add this in youtube options?


I'll explain it a bit...

I like making playlists with youtube videos to watch. And I'm on 3 MB/s, but I don't get that speed when playing youtube videos, so sometimes I have to pause and wait a few seconds for it to buffer more. I really hate it.

What I'd like is to buffer the one I'm playing and the next file on the playlist at the same time. This way, I only have problems with the first one, and all the others will be fully buffered (or above 50%) when I start watching them.

It would be something similar to download managers, when you can choose the number of simultaneous connections. On this case, 2 I think would be more than appropiate.

Thanks

1 - Open File/URL(Ctrl+O) -> check "Add to playlist without opening"
2 - Not planned.

[ryrynz]

If the playlist consists of only one file - working go to the prev/next in folder.

If the playlist consists of several files - working playback & navigation only in playlist.

A way to get around this limitation (I see it as a limitation) would be to remove previously watched files from the playlist after they're watched. Would you a) either add this option or b) provide an option (registry, ini or whatever) that overrides the default behavior? If I set load next file in folder after playback I want this to always happen. The player itself even says "Every time" Currently it's not "Every time"

@Aleksoid1978:

about helping to buffer youtube videos...

could it be possible to download youtube videos in chunks with multiple threads?

1 video, 1 thread : ~300KB/s
4 videos, 1 thread each: ~1200KB/s
1 video, 4 threads: ~1200KB/s

so if mpc-be could download the video in 2 or more threads, it would help a lot

@wanezhiling
This file has invalid audio bitrate (should be slightly less than 56 kbps, this is a bug of Fraunhofer MP3 ACM encoder for 11025, 22050 and 44100 Hz). Accordingly, the audio length is also wrong. Then used the function "Change so video and audio duration match" in VirtualDub and fps instead of 25 turned into 25.117.
But in this file the correct interleaving video and audio, so it to play correctly on the system splitter (and LAV).

Our splitter analyzes and works with audio stream differently. Because of this it has extra features, but does not work correctly with such incorrect files.

To fix this problem is quite difficult. And it has a low priority. While I can advise the system splitter or LAV for such files.

MPC-BE 1.4.5 (build 579) beta
Added DXVA2 resize for EVR-custom and VMR-9 renderless.

[detmek]

Nice. DXVA2 resize works just fine with EVR-CP on Intel G3220 IGPU and Windows 8.1 x64. Blu-Ray scalled down to 1440x900(810) uses around 10% CPU (DXVA native decoding, Ctrl+J stats) and 26% GPU (by GPU-Z).

BTW, any recommendation for surface format: 8-bit integer, 10-bit integer, 16-bit float or 32-bit float with DXVA2 resize?

[v0lt]

[Manni]

Hi everyone,

I've asked a few times if we could have an option to not show the file name when playback starts and OSD is enabled, but it didn't happen.

I'm wondering if it would be easier/possible to get a shortcut for enabling/disabling OSD instead? Maybe that would benefit more users?

That way, we could disable OSD by default so that the file name isn't displayed when playback starts, and enable OSD when we want to see some info like playback/remaining time.

I'm aware that this is a very minor feature request. I guess it's only an issue for those like me who have an HTPC as their main source in a cinema room and who find that displaying a file name distracts from the experience of watching the movie yet appreciate the ability to display some important info during playback. Maybe I'm the only one in which case you're certainly right to ignore my request.

In any case, thanks for all the good work. If such a minor issue is the only thing that keeps bothering me, it means that the product is great :).

[xiringu]

I increased queue and cache size in "performance" and changed "EVR buffers" to 4 and I'm very happy with the difference on my low-spec laptop.

[CruNcher]

Great work on the Statistics OSD Part it doesn't cause so much render interferences it seems like it does with MPC-HC though i wonder why the difference with EVR Custom :)

Volume Change on MPC-HC can cause micro stuttering on OSD Rendering that's not the case it seems with MPC-BE, very nice and stable.

CPU and GPU Usage is also a nice addition, doesn't interfere with the Video Rendering everything seems nicely layered.

Somebody seemed to care about really high clean Windows Performance not only the look of the Application.

Render Frametime would be a nice addition to the Statistics specially with the Shader Part.

A Graph only mode without any Text Statistics would be a nice addition as well.

What is used for GPU Usage calculation ?


About OSD - we are rewrite OSD mechanism, now it's don't use direct draw through video renderer(as it was and how it's work in MPC-HC). That's why it does not affect the video output :)

About GPU usage - use some function direct from Nvidia drivers(.dll) i compare result with GPU-Z and they look like the same :)

Not sure if this has been mentioned, looked a couple of pages back and it wasn't but I'm not reading 20 pages.

Anyway. I've just installed Windows 10 and encountered an extremely frustrating bug. The context menu for media files to play or add to the list in MPC-BE no longer works. Neither does it work for folders. I've tried dragging files into the list and that doesn't work either - not sure if it did before though. Basically the only way to queue up files now is to go File->Open File/Folder or to right click in the playlist and click Add.

This pretty much kills usability to be honest, though I'm still using it.

Is there a work around or do I need to wait for the program to become Windows 10 compatible.

I have a weird problem. Player works fine only for the first time and after I press reset button in Miscellaneous option, bringing back default settings. After I start any video it works like mp4, mov, avi, wmv, until I try to play mkv video, where player crashes with following report:

Hi

Is there a trick to play back UK 25fps mkv on a U.S. LCD TV (60p and 24p) smoothly.

I'm using mpc be + madvr + lav decoder and I'm getting stutter every few seconds.

Thanks

[huhn]

set your screen to 60 hz use madVR smoothmotion

[wiak]

is there a way to *pipe/frameserv* a video stream into mpc-be?

This thing above cant open the shortcuts, because your MPCBEShellExt64.dll (in shellex / ContextMenuHandlers) wont let them on Windows 10. PLEASE fix this :-)
Slightly confused by your post, were you discussing a fix or just reporting the same issue? What I gathered is that MPCBEShellExt64.dll needs updating to work with 10, I can't do that right?

Hi guys. I really like MPC-BE so far and use it as my main video player. But it seams that MPC-BE Internal subtitle render does not handle very well subtitles with anamorphic video. See screenshot:
http://www.dodaj.rs/t/Z/Ee/WAKxpDl/mpc-be-subtitles.jpg (http://www.dodaj.rs/?Z/Ee/WAKxpDl/mpc-be-subtitles.png)
Subtitles are wide.
Here is same movie played by MPC-HC with Apply aspect ratio compensation for anamorphic videos checked:

Subtitles are just as it should be.

So, can you add built-in or separate option for subtitle correction, like in MPC-HC?

Update, it is now working. I don't know why, I haven't updated MPC-BE, I have rebooted multiple times in the past and that didn't help. Only thing I can imagine is a Windows Update came through and fixed the problem.

EDIT: No wait, I was wrong. It doesn't work from explorer windows. But it does work from other things, eg. I successfully did it using Everything. I guess that's enough of a work around for me for now.

Found a possible problem with the built in MKV splitter with pcm_s24be(A_PCM/INT/BIG) audio tracks.

Using the internal MKV splitter MPC-BE (in 1.4.4 and 1.4.5.587) will not detect the audio tracks and will not play them. If it is the only audio track the internal splitter will just show video and subtitle pins.

However using external LAV splitter it will detect and play them.

Have tried multiple files and all the ones I've tried do this. The files are all remuxes from blu-rays done using mkvtoolnix.

Ok so regarding the issue using the context menus to play/add files. I believe the issue is related to UAC, previously it wasn't an issue because I was using Windows 7, but UAC is much different since 8. Did you by chance do the complete UAC disable (not just moving the slider down) on 10? Perhaps that's why it's working for you.

I came to the conclusion because I can use the context menu in Everything, which I have the Task Scheduler start at boot with auto elevated privileges to bypass UAC, but I can't use explorer.

EDIT: Yep, that did it. Slid the slider all the way down then did the registry fix mentioned here (http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/38257-HOW-TO-Disable-UAC-completely).

Context menus now work as intended.

Thanks, confirmed all working now.

Just a quick question regarding your MinGW release, you mentioned it's pretty much Nevcairiel's build's and doing a MD5 comparison shows this, there is however 1 changed file, libmingwex.a. I suspect this is a patched copy to allow building the library’s within the main exe or something similar?

I have found your patched copy will fail to build LAV filters and the original fails to build MPC-BE, it’s just a thought that if MPC-BE requires a patched libmingwex.a, would it not make sense to include within the lib folders on the SVN copy and not require the current manual approach?

[Aleksoid1978]

...would it not make sense to include within the lib folders on the SVN copy and not require the current manual approach?

It's not right - different people can use different version of GCC to build MPC-BE.

Hello, thanks for a great software!
Ever since I first found out about it, I've been using it as default most of the time when playing back video on the computer.

Problem now is that vobsub subtitles muxed in .mkv suddenly won't display - or even cannot be loaded...
The context menu for subtitles and also sub-menu in 'navigation' is greyed out.
The subs are playing just fine (same file) in VLC, though and show up correctly as third track in mediainfo.
Could you help me?

Thanks!

Well, in a way you're right of course. But then I thought since it's been working on former Windows versions fine with MPC-BE and this only occurred on Windows 10 since the upgrade last week (actually clean re-install), this would be more likely not a problem of the file itself...
Note: I am using this version of mkvmerge, since its output is being recognized by my Blu-ray player, newer version output will not, though. But as I said, the MPC-BE subtitle problem occurs with this version of Windows for the first time.

Hello @Aleksoid1978, thanks! I solved it!
Just now I started to try and use the main 'file' menu to load a subtitle file and a message popped up saying I should change the renderer...it was set to "System Standard" (default setting apparently).

I hadn't looked out for that as I had been used to in Win XP... ever since Win 7 the default video renderer had been EVR and so I didn't expect I would have to change that again manually now.

So: Everything's fine and working!

@wanezhiling: Thanks for your time and trouble.
You're right to a certain extent. Yet I am not used to upload files just like that. In times when server space wasn't as ample as it is now and upload speed of internet providers wasn't what it is now, either...well, have been around this whole thing since about 15 years ago.
And many problems for me have been solved by referring to the specs of the file, as provided by either MediaInfo or GSpot, or similar sw.

Hello again, I may have found another problem with the internal mkv splitter and a possible problem with chapters.

Sample 1 (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzm6CAzsd-2PZHNTblJOMHVyLXM/view?usp=sharing)
Sample 2 (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzm6CAzsd-2PcU9BUVJnWS15V1E/view?usp=sharing)

Sample file 1 is able to seek fine and shows the chapter mark at 5s on the seek bar.
Sample file 2 is not able to seek using the internal mkv splitter (it just jumps to the end of the file) but can seek using LAV splitter. Neither splitter will show the chapter mark at 5s.

What makes this interesting is that these two samples are from the same blu-ray disc and are from the same playlist and were remuxed using mkvtoolnix at the same time. This disc had multiple episodes in the same mpls that I loaded into mkvtoolnix and split by chapters into the separate episodes. Episodes 1 and 2 seek fine and show chapters, while episodes 3 and 4 do not seek using the internal splitter and show no chapters. (Sample 1 is the first 10s of episode 1 and Sample 2 is the first 10s of episode 3).

For these small samples I manually added a chapter at 5s using mkvtoolnix since the real chapters are set much later than the 10s samples.

All playback done using MPC-BE.1.4.5.605.x86.(VS2013) posted a few posts back (for LPCM big endian support).

Disable the "Fast seek (on keyframe)" option.

While this does enable seeking to work, is this the only way? The seeking doesn't work on the 24 minute episode either and I'm sure there are keyframes to seek to. Ideally I'd like to have this option enabled.

Ok I see it now. This is very interesting and may be related to a mkvtoolnix bug: https://github.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/1170

Episode 1 and 2 have cluster timecodes that start at 0, while episodes 3 and 4 have timecode starts of about 25m and 50m respectively (the original mpls was episodes 1-4 together). It seems mkvmerge maybe modifies timecodes of the second split file but not the ones after? (I checked some other series I remuxed and they show the same symptoms).

I will do some more testing to see if my existing files can be repaired (with something like mkvmerge --sync) or if I will need to re-remux from the blus in a different way to get correct timecodes (for example, only split once then continually split the resulting 2nd files until all episodes are extracted).

Anyway, thanks for the help! The nonzero starting timecodes are indeed consistent between all the files I've checked so far that show the seeking/chapter problems.

Still no chapters but I think that's related to the chapter points pointing to times that do not exist in the cluster timecode ranges?

HI,

I installed the latest madvr(0.88.21) on my win8.1 X64, with GTX960(driver 353.62) and MPC-BE (1.4.5.587 & 501). It shows green screen while playing the 4K HEVC 10BIT LG demos(UHD PQ Lovely Swiss 4K 2160p) using DXVA. All the 4K HEVC 10bit/8bit demos can be played normally in non DXVA mode. MadVR's user "huhn" explained that I should use copy-back mode in lav decoder with madvr. But I can't find such options in BE's internal decoder. Does BE really support 10bit DXVA with madvr? Is it NATIVE or COPYBAK?

Thanks!

[daert]

He was referring to LAV Video Decoder which isn't BE's internal filter. If you want to use LAV you need to install them and disable BE's internal ones

[Aleksoid1978]

MPC-BE support HEVC 10bit DXVA decoding only with EVR custom. On Win 10 also can playback with vanilla EVR playback HEVC 10 bit HEVC.

@v0lt:

2 things:

1)Can I ask you how much cache is mpc-be using now (queue size, cache size)?

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I increased those values a while ago, and I thought it helped on my low spec laptop. My cpu is only 1 Ghz, but I have memory to spare, so I don't care using extra for cache,buffer or whatever if it helps a bit. I'll try this new build and see if there's any difference.

2) I know some players are able to show info when listening to online radio (things like the title of the song). Is this possible with mpc-be? I'm listening to an .aac stream right now, and there's nothing more than "title:metal" and "description:powered by ...", but nothing useful.

Is it because the stream doesn't have that info, or mpc-be is not showing it?

Thanks

1)Can I ask you how much cache is mpc-be using now (queue size, cache size)?
Nothing. These options are very rarely given a positive result.

2) I know some players are able to show info when listening to online radio (things like the title of the song). Is this possible with mpc-be? I'm listening to an .aac stream right now, and there's nothing more than the playlist's local filename.If you are using MPC ShoutCast Source, the title is can be seen in View->Information.
Also see View->Options...->Player->Title bar->Replace file name with title.

Hi, v0lt...

MPC-BE 1.4.5 (build 651) x64 take too long to open avi files on windows 10 and Xsubs not show in this build.


Xsubs work well on MPC-BE 1.4.5 (build 629) or in previous builds and is much faster to open avi files.

Please fix this in next build, thanks.

Dear devs, big thank you for your hard work.

May I request a feature to change to default play rate step? e.g. right now in mpcbe it is 0.25x-0.5x-1x-1.2x-1.5x-2.0x-4.0x whereas in mpc-hc it is 0.25x-0.5x-1.0x-2.0x-etc so an option to define these steps would be great!

Sometimes, when I try to watch a live stream, I only get the audio. It seems to be a random thing (different streams and not often).

Sometimes it fixes itself, by reloading the stream a few times, but other times it doesn't.

Anybody else experiences this? Could it be a problem with the stream itself?

Thanks

I'm trying to record my screen using various programs but the file doesn't play properly. For example using virtualdub and x264vfw (with various profiles) the video just skips to the end and stays there. If I try to seek nothing happens. I can see the end of what I recorded so I don't think it's a lav or madvr problem. The same file plays fine in windows media player. What's wrong?:)

You use ""VirtulaDub Hack" option in x264vfw?

Try this, just click on the download button on the top: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1-tZof1xb8gdF8wNmVnbVpTNTQ/view

When I tell x264vfw to output to a file instead of vfw, I get two files. The file that virtualdub creates which is some random 5kb video that shows nothing, and a file that x264vfw creates which can be played back with no issues. But this wasn't working before with msi afterburner as the recording program. I feel like I'm doing something extremely dumb but can't figure out what. I tried vlc and it also failed. But for some reason wmp works.

[NikosD]

I don't have a WinXP and can't check.

In order to be more exact, the MPC-BE Player x86 v1.4.5.677 and x86 v1.4.5.699 crash badly without falling-back to SW decoding when using DXVA1 VC-1.

They give me a Windows error with a large text file as crash report.

The standalone x86 v1.4.5.677 tries to fall-back to SW but gives me a black screen.

If I disable DXVA1 VC-1 the SW VC-1 decoder plays just fine.

I don't know if it would help to give you the Windows error file, but my thought is maybe you forgot to put "SSE" in the compilation of DXVA1 VC-1 and left the default "SSE2".

It looks like that kind of error...

Could you check it out ?

Thanks!

[NikosD]

By using the good old method of "trial and error" I managed to isolate the error.

For my system:
WinXP SP3+

Excuse me ,but how you manage to have any DXVA enable on your system considering that the old Athlon doesn't have SSE 2 instructions? AFAIK SSE2 is mandatory for DXVA to work.

[NikosD]

AFAIK SSE2 is mandatory for DXVA to work.

That's an old myth floating around, probably because of OEM's drivers or OEM's commercial SW or Microsoft, I don't know, that is simply not true.

The artificial requirement of SSE2 presence globally for various applications including OSes (like Win 8.x or later), is more and more common, though.

Well it's good to know ,because I had almost the same system (Athlon 2400 XP ,HD 3450 and finaly a 3650 AGP ,XP SP3) and I have never ,never been albe to have any kind of DXVA. It's true ,that's hapened a few years ago.

No. We do not have available a processor without SSE2.

So, my initial thought of being a SSE2 fault is probably right.

But then again, why DXVA1 H.264 works like a charm with my SSE CPU even using latest nightly build ?

About DXVA 1 - VC-1/MPEG2 code "store" at ffmpeg's side(use my custom code) and use gcc to compile, but H.264 code store in project's .cpp/.h files and compile with VS.

you may trick around with dotnet 3.5 and EVR at least i got DXVA working in windows xp x64 with EVR which shouldn't work too. but yeah it's a lot of years ago and to be honest there is a time old hardware is just that old hardware.

the old HD 3xxx hardware acceleration is terrible anyway.

Hmm...I see...So it looks like GCC does the bad job by enabling by default the SSE2.

But I tried all SW decoders (VC-1/WMV3, H.264, MPEG2) and work fine without crashes, even with latest nightly.

Of course they are slow to death for AthlonXP.

Did you take a look at that build specifically, that started crashing badly DXVA1 VC-1 ?

ALL VC-1/WMV3 samples crash with DXVA1 VC-1 after that specific build, but not with all the previous.

Maybe there is something specific to that build, because all SW decoders work fine and DXVA1 H.264 too.

You are really obsessed commenting my posts, although your comments are (almost) always irrelevant or wrong.

As I wrote a few times above, we are talking about DXVA1 supported by WinXP and not DXVA2 unsupported by WinXP.

And HW acceleration of Radeon 3000 series is perfect for BluRay Spec H.264/VC-1 clips, btw.

i'm not the first person you said that about. not a nice thing to tell or think about people.

DXVA isn't suppose to work with EVR in XP but with dotnet 3.5 i got it working back in the time. could be xp 64 that made it possible. could be DXVA2 or couldn't be DXVA2. give it a try or ignore it this is your choice.

and according to MSDN EVR it is DXVA2:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc307941%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

[NikosD]

WinXP is using VMR for DXVA1 HW acceleration.

[huhn]

yeah i know and that's my point. i was able to use EVR which shouldn't work only with VMR and other older renderer.

but there was an issue with AMD/ATI and DXVA2 back in the days that mpeg2 decoding didn't work with DXVA2 but with DXVA1 (was the case with my 6770). but i can't say for sure if DXVA2 was used anyway.

as far as i remember i just needed dotnet framework 3.5 and EVR with DXVA worked with my nvidia ion on XP 64.

i can't deny that there is a high possibility that this isn't working at all.

[nevcairiel]

Its really up to the video driver if DXVA2 works. There are a few drivers which allow limited formats in DXVA2 on XP, but its usually half-broken or limited to one of the common formats, or something. Not really worth calling "supported" in any sense of the word. More like luck.

[huhn]

i see.

I have some trouble with downloaded YouTube-videos:

The problem only occurs if the framerate of the video is 23.976 fps:

MPC-BE:
dash: 23.980 -> maybe also take a look at this?
muxed mkv: 23.974 -> ??

MPC-HC:
dash: 23.976 -> fine
muxed mkv: 23.974 -> ??


I download the dash files which should be fine with 23.976, but if I mux the video and audio file together with MKVToolNix, then MPC-BE displays them as 23.974 in display stats (CTRL + J) and I get more stutters. See attachment.

Muxing doesn't change the videostream, so I'm helpless what's going on. I want MPC-BE recognizing it as 23.976 (24.000/1.001) like the files "hopefully" are. I'm pretty sure.

But keep in mind there are some "old" files still on youtube which are "true" 23.974 regardless what you do. So take a look at a newer video.

[v0lt]

Thank you, but it's better to use a file storage services, instead of the forum.

Sorry for being late to my respond, but I was ready to make another comment about the issue, when I saw that you had updated your post with a link to a new build that I wasn't aware of.

Anyway, I tried that build just now and unfortunately it crashes exactly like all the others from 1.3.1.1.4477.x86 and above.

[Klaus1189]

@ v0lt:
OK, can I use Google Drive for future translation updates?
Sent you links to the files.

[v0lt]

OK, can I use Google Drive for future translation updates?
Yes, it would be better.

Sent you links to the files.
Typical file:
DefaultDuration = 41708333
AvgTimePerFrame = 41708333 / 100 = 417083
FPS = 1000000 / 417083 = 23.976

Your file:
DefaultDuration = 41711111
AvgTimePerFrame = 41711111 / 100 = 417111
FPS = 1000000 / 417111 = 23.974

[Klaus1189]

That's exactly the point. Which File of the two is reported right? The File has only been muxed and then it is reported differently. Before 23.980 and then 23.974. MPC-HC reports 23.976 on the dash file as already mentioned.
Does that difference cause another playback of the file? Why is the dash file played fine on MPC-HC?
I'm clueless ...

[v0lt]

@Klaus1189
I think the problem came from the strange parameters of source MP4 file.
MediaInfo
Frame rate mode : Variable
Frame rate : 23.976 fps
Minimum frame rate : 23.974 fps
Maximum frame rate : 1 046.512 fps
In any case, the MKV parameter DefaultDuration merely informational. And it should not affect the playback quality.

[Klaus1189]

Tested a long 23.974 file with my HTPC (Intel HD 4600). Seems to don't bother for playback. Do newer nvidia cards support 23.976 like Intel hd46000 or still 23.972?

[huhn]

only intel had this issue till haswell known as intel 24p bug and it was an chipset issue.

23.972 is known as the small 24p bug.

my HD 4400 has a clock of 23.97600-23.97605 thsi is a pretty perfect clock but that doesn't really help because there are more than 1 clokc that needs to be perfect in the first place.

never heard of an problem with nvidia and nvidia had custom resolution support for a very very long time too.

I know that but there is a bug resulting only available for 24hz and not for 23 hz setting.
The Intel HD 24hz bug. Omg very old. Playing 23.976 as 24.000 very bad. INTEL HD 4600 is the Best you can use for that.

[Klaus1189]

I already contacted Mediainfo developers some years ago. They told me that this has to do with the first and the last frames of the video. For mp4 container it only uses the middle frames, but for this dash container with mp4 extension it includes all frames resulting in variable framerate vbr which is not true. They told me to spend money to get this fixed.
Can you check these dash files with special tools. Maybe you know something, I don't.
And if you mux the videostream of the dash file to a mkv, MediaInfo tells us 23.976 cfr.
Quite strange thing, but I think we should check this very deep.

[Klaus1189]

"The custom timing feature is usable, but not without its quirks. Adding a custom resolution is straightforward. Setting the vertical parameters to values similar to the ones in the screenshot above achieves desired results, but the 23 Hz resolution gets saved as 24 Hz."
Source: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5969/zotac-geforce-gt-640-review-/5

I tried that also, but same happened.

If the Information is not up to date let me know. I want to learn ;)
Is there any better than hd4600? Still 23.972 or have the New nvidias true 23.976?
Would be nice to know that. Otherwise i must buy one test and send back which i don't want to do.

[huhn]

of cause they have proper 23p.

but even with the clock from my HD 4400 i get a repeated frame every ~13 min.

you can buy 10 gtx 960 all and they will not have the same clock same for onboard sound/sound cards.

aiming for the theoretical perfect clock of 23.97602 hz doesn't really help at all. you have to match the reference clock with is usually the audio clock and it is very unlikely to be 23.97602hz.

What version MPC-BE ?? upload a video, or short sample. But - don't use forums - use external file uploaders.

[NikosD]

Sorry for being late to my respond, but I was ready to make another comment about the issue, when I saw that you had updated your post with a link to a new build that I wasn't aware of.

Anyway, I tried that build just now and unfortunately it crashes exactly like all the others from 1.3.1.1.4477.x86 and above.
Anything new ?

Is there someone looking on this ?

TIA

[Klaus1189]

Why does mpc play only audio of h.265 files? I'm on latest version of k-lite mega codec pack!

Are you sure you're in the right forum?
MPC-BE in K-Lite?
Anyway. I recommend not using K-Lite.

Better you use MPC-HC with integrated LAV Filters
https://mpc-hc.org/
https://nightly.mpc-hc.org/

Or you can use MPC-BE with internal Filters and if you want set ffdshow or LAV Filters as external Filters. But don't have to, the internal are very nice.

Then we can talk here ...

[Klaus1189]

Yes, it would be better.


Typical file:
DefaultDuration = 41708333
AvgTimePerFrame = 41708333 / 100 = 417083
FPS = 1000000 / 417083 = 23.976

Your file:
DefaultDuration = 41711111
AvgTimePerFrame = 41711111 / 100 = 417111
FPS = 1000000 / 417111 = 23.974



I checked the muxed MKV with MediaInfo in advanced mode under debug:
.
.
.
Duration : 225017
Duration : 3mn 45s
Duration : 3mn 45s 17ms
Duration : 00:03:45.017
Duration : 00:03:45.017 (00:03:45;01)
Frame rate : 23.976
Frame rate : 23.976 fps
Frame count : 5395
.
.
.

If I calculate the time 225017ms diveded with number of frames 5395, then I get 41,708433734939759036144578313253ms
then 1/x and then x 1000
--> 23,97596626032699751574325495407
which is quite exact 23.976 and not 23.974

[v0lt]

@Klaus1189
Your method will not work for VFR video. In addition, it requires the analysis of the entire file.

DefaultDuration parameter recorded in the header of your file.

OK, I see. Do you know why MPC-BE displays 23.980 for the dash file?

Be about time to release 1.4.5 now wouldn't it?

[Klaus1189]

Updated german Translation. I sent you a pm

Feature request: Delay timer like MPC-HC has it. I made a request there some time ago and they added it.
Reason: Every TV or monitor needs some seconds when switching from one refresh rate to another.
Please use also the delay when switching between D3D-fullscreen and window-mode. This is very important.
I think the time should be adjustable since the time the displays need is different from one to another.

[v0lt]

@Klaus1189
I do not understand what kind of delay in question.
Like madVR? There screen flashes after a few seconds switching to full screen. This will not happen, because bad idea.

[huhn]

a TV needs a long time to change refresh rates.

if you change the refresh rate from 60 hz to 23 hz the screen can be black for over a sec but audio is still played.

with other words there should be an option to delay playback when the refresh rate changed.

[Klaus1189]

Exactly. The feature they added for me is located here

If set to 0 it is like now, but for users like me this option is very important. No flashing :)

Note that I set it to 8 secs (!!) so the video starts after the OSD Info of my Samsung monitor and on my Samsung TV disappears.

[v0lt]

@Klaus1189
I do not see the picture.

I do not understand the problem. The settings (View->Otions->Video->Fullscreen) have a lot of options for all occasions.

[huhn]

but no option for that.

it's mostly for HTPC use anyway. users with an normal PC monitor normally doesn't need that.

[Klaus1189]

I made a short video with my mobile phone where you can see the feature in action.

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4y5u0gBKYqbZ1MybkNnU0xCdlk&usp=sharing

[Klaus1189]

Without the feature you don't see the complete video. In this example you don't see the beautiful back of Nicole.

BTW: My soundsystem doesn't sound so bad, it's the way my crappy Galaxy Note 4 picks up sound. And not happy with Android, next time iOS, but that's another story ...

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4y5u0gBKYqbY3RQM1UtTVE4RUU/view?usp=sharing

If I play a video with D3D-mode and press for example o for options on the keyboard, it is opened but it can't be displayed because D3D-mode doesn't support that, so I think we should disable such keyboard shortcuts which don't work while D3D-mode is being used, because if a button on the keyboard is pressed without you know that, you can't close MPC-BE like I reported that with o for options while D3D-mode is used.

[Klaus1189]

There are two ways to add MPC-BE to context menu:

(1) In options/formats you can add MPC-BE to context menu (two entries: Play and add to playlist) which is very useful, but I think we should add the icon of MPC-BE to the context menu entries. These look a bit empty. -> explorer context.png

(2) While Installation the user can install another context menu entry which should be removed because it is obsolete -> It's already in MPC-BE integrated -> (1).
We should remove this obsolete thing from the installer. -> installer.png


Do we really need the association entries in the installer? Every user must set up MPC-BE for his/her needs and can enable file association in options. I think these are also obsolete.

It will look better :)

This one is the obsolete one. Icons which doesn't represent MPC-BE and hard to remove if the user wants to disable this. The integrated ones -> (1) can be disabled and are fine.
Please remove it from the installer. No need for it.

Similar to how you can change the seek e.g. some prefer 5 seconds, some prefer 10 seconds so my request was whether we can change the playrate variable please thank you!

A quick question regarding the audio stream switcher, I noticed it had an option to be disabled, and since some time it is enabled by default and can't be disabled. Could you give me some useful information about it?

[v0lt]

Audio Switcher can not be disabled.

[DzigiBau]

I have the same question like regular MPC-HC, since behaviour is the same. I cannot play mkv files and HEVC files, with default settings and custom external LAV filters and splitters as well.

What I have found with some older MPC-HC 1.5.3.3725 (sorry for wrong threat but situation is completely the same) when turn on Audio Built-In switcher everything starts working well, I can play whatever file format. If I turned it off I cannot play mkv and HEVC files.

Could you see what s a problem and possbile make some fix.

My specs:

AMD 955 CPU
AMD R9 290 card
Creative Audigy sound card.
4Gb RAM

[madshi]

One small request to MPC-BE devs:

When subtitles are enabled/disabled with the internal subtitle renderer, madVR currently doesn't get any notification. Which means that in paused mode the image is not updated (I'm not rerendering in paused mode in order to save GPU power). Could you kindly send a "IMadVRCommand::SendCommand("redraw")" to madVR in this situation, so madVR will rerender to show the disabled/enabled subtitles? madVR v0.89.3 doesn't support this command yet, but here's a test build with support for that command, so you can test:

http://madshi.net/madVR893redraw.rar

To reproduce simply play any video with subtitles with madVR v0.89.3, using the internal subtitle renderer, then pause the video while subtitles are visible. Then enable/disable subtitles.

Thanks! :)

P.S: You can always send that command when subs are enabled/disabled, regardless of whether playback is in stopped/paused/play mode, doesn't hurt.

Sorry - but no planned.

Why not?

I hope one of the "media-player-devs" is able to do something more for Matroska.

Ordered chapters should be a standard for every player.
What I'm looking for is that the player can handle a Control Track
and then understand Matroska settings like ChapterCodecPrivate or
ChapterProcessCommand.

All players and all Splitters that i use work since 1990 for me, but for Matroska nobody wants to do something so right.

Matroska has so very good unused features :-(

[firewater]

Gonne copy&paste what I wrote in another forum, might involve a bug with BE.


I want to watch videos fullscreen on MPC (http://www.videohelp.com/software/Media-Player-Classic), with original aspect ratio. That's it, but something so trivial seems to have no solution on my end. I've recorded a small session as a video in which you can see what I mean: https://mega.nz/#!PFkFRQrb!BOaIPc3lxFaHYIMeO5rZHN-jfwOxJPogv6FIjxc0Ntg

Explaining the video:

1. As far as I know, MPC should do what I want with the option "Touch Window from Inside" but the behavior encountered here is that the smaller the window size is, the more it zooms into the picture when I'm in full screen.

2. "Zoom 1" seems to fix the issue, but then again it's a zoom and I don't want to miss a single pixel of the picture when I look at it. The other options behave similarly ("Zoom 2" works like 1, and "Touch Window from Outside" is similar to Inside, and the rest don't offer a fullscreen experience).

3. Eventually I change to a second video, using the same option that caused problems on the first one, and it works fine for a couple of fullscreens (which is how I've been seeing films lately, just randomly hoping it works), but then it happens again, out of nowhere.

Extra - probably not related, but you can see that once I reduce the screen size to the minimum, the program crashes.

Points of interest:

1. Yes, this is Windows, 8. It's heavily modded with AHK scripts (at display here: positioning the MPC window at a certain size and place when it opens, and Linux-like windows moving with Alt+Mouse) and a different UI (LiteStep). I've thought about it, but none of these modifications should pose a threat to how MPC works (in fact, normally I use a custom window border and a different theme, but I reverted back to basics for the sake of the video, and the problem persists).

2. I am running MPC-BE (http://www.videohelp.com/software/MPC-BE), which is why it looks different from MPC-HC (http://www.videohelp.com/software/Media-Player-Classic-Home-Cinema). I only got it because of the appearance, but I do wonder if it may be causing the problem.

3. Also running madVR (http://www.videohelp.com/software/madVR) and LavFilters, but then again I don't know if that has any effect on this, though I doubt it as I've used those with both PotPlayer (http://www.videohelp.com/software/PotPlayer) and years ago with MPC-HC/BE, and there never was an issue.

4. Both MPC and madVR are 64bits.
Hope someone knows what's up, because I've googled and nothing comes out.

[madshi]

Which madVR build are you using? There has been a bug like this in one of the more recent builds, which should be fixed if you update to the latest one.

ISubRenderCallback3 : ISubRenderCallback2
{
STDMETHOD(RenderEx2)(REFERENCE_TIME rtStart, REFERENCE_TIME rtStop,
REFERENCE_TIME avgTimePerFrame, RECT croppedVideoRect,
RECT originalVideoRect, RECT viewportRect,
const double videoStretchFactor = 1.0) PURE;
};
This allows madVR to transport more information to the internal subtitle renderer:

1) "originalVideoRect": Is the rect you would want to render the subtitles in for ASS files with strict/critical position information.
2) "croppedVideoRect": Is the rect you would want to render e.g. SRT subtitles in. This rect is similar to "originalVideoRect", but with hard coded black bars *excluded*.
3) "viewportRect": Full rect instead of just "width/height". The "viewportRect" basically adds the option to use non-zero left/top value which is useful for screen masking for front projection users.
4) "videoStretchFactor": For front projection users with anamorphic lenses. And maybe for users of TVs with non-square pixels.

Maybe MPC-BE could add support for ISubRenderCallback3, too? Here's a madVR test build with ISubRenderCallback3 support, which also fixes a subtitle position bug in v0.89.5:

(EDITED: both ISubRenderCallback3 definition and test build changed to include "videoStretchFactor"!)

@madshi
About "automatic detection of hard coded black bars".
I have no way to do it is now.

Maybe MPC-BE could add support for ISubRenderCallback3, too?
I do not understand why this is necessary?
Now we have many options and nuances of rendering subtitles. This is a very complex topic. I do not want to complicate it even more.

[madshi]

About "automatic detection of hard coded black bars".
I have no way to do it is now.
I'm not sure if we understand each other correctly here. MPC-BE does *not* have to detect hard coded black bars. madVR already does all the dirty work. All I'm looking for is some very small adjustments in MPC-BE to make full use of all the new features in madVR.

I do not understand why this is necessary?
Now we have many options and nuances of rendering subtitles. This is a very complex topic. I do not want to complicate it even more.
None of this is strictly "necessary". MPC-BE will still work fine with madVR if you do nothing. However, I believe ISubRenderCallback3 would be a nice improvement. Let me try to explain. Maybe you'll agree with me, or maybe not. But it's worth a try, right? I see 3 improvements by using ISubRenderCallback3. I'll explain them one by one:

1) MPC-BE's internal subtitle renderer has an option called "Position subtitles relative to the video frame". Now let's look at the following screenshots, all taken from Blu-Rays. I've used "Half Size" with my 1680x1050 monitor in fullscreen mode to make it clearer what I mean:

option "Position subtitles relative to the video frames" turned:
off - 1.85:1 movie (http://madVR.com/doom9/mpcbe/subScreen185.png) - | - on - 1.85:1 movie (http://madVR.com/doom9/mpcbe/subVideo185.png)

Looks as expected, right? With the option turned off, the subtitles are drawn to the bottom of the screen, regardless of where the video is. With the option turned on, the subtitles are drawn *into* the active video area. Now let's do the same thing with a Cinemascope Blu-Ray:

off - 2:40:1 movie (http://madVR.com/doom9/mpcbe/subScreen240.png) - | - on - 2.40:1 movie (http://madVR.com/doom9/mpcbe/subVideo240.png)

Do you see the problem? The option doesn't work as intended. The subtitles are *not* drawn into the active video area, although the option is turned on. I would go as far as saying that this is a "bug" that should be fixed. Well, you and I know that it's not really a bug but it happens because MPC-BE doesn't know where hard coded black bars are. But madVR does know! And by using ISubRenderCallback3 madVR could provide this information to MPC-BE. So using ISubRenderCallback3 would allow you to fix this problem with very small effort on your side. I'm already doing all the hard work in madVR!

2) Let's say the end user has the option "Position subtitles relative to the video frames" turned off, and let's say the user has a front projector with a 16:9 panel (99% of all home theater projectors are 16:9), but he has a fixed frame Cinemascope screen hanging on the wall. This is called a CIH setup (constant image height). Now when subtitles appear, what we'll see is the following, regardless of which aspect ratio the movie has:

CIH problem (http://madVR.com/doom9/mpcbe/240screen.png)

The red frame in this image shows the size of the fixed frame Cinemascope screen. The gray areas on top and bottom of the 16:9 PNG file show areas which the projector 16:9 panel could draw pixels to, but the end user has this area masked up with black cloth. So the subtitles shown by MPC-BE are outside of the fixed frame Cinemascope screen. Once again ISubRenderCallback3 would allow to fix this, by allowing madVR to inform MPC-BE about the viewport rect into which subtitles can be rendered without getting lost in masked areas.

3) Some front projection owners are using an anamorphic lens to stretch the image. Basically the lens makes the image wider by a factor of 1.333x. Which means the video needs to be vertically stretched by a factor of 1.333x. madVR already does the necessary adjustments for the video rendering. However, since MPC-BE's internal subtitle renderer does the rendering itself, madVR can't do the vertical stretch for the subtitles. So currently MPC-BE renders them in normal aspect ratio (square pixels), and then the anamorphic lens stretches them and they end up looking as if somebody had sat on them. ISubRenderCallback3 allows madVR to tell MPC-BE whether the subtitles need to be rendered with an additional Y stretch factor or not.

So now it's your choice. You don't have to implement any of this. I wouldn't be offended, or anything. But I don't think it would be a lot of work for you, and it would IMHO improve MPC-BE, especially for (but not limited to) front projection users. But you decide, of course.

[jaro1]

Sorry if discussed earlier, but i couldn't find a mention about it. Please, consider this as "small" feature request, which i wanted kindly ask you for.

Would it be possible in case of "system default" or rather "dsound:..." adjusted as default audio renderer api, to synchronize mpc-be's volume slider with windows mixer application volume slider on Vista or later, as it was with former waveout api? Or at least to have an option for this, if from whatever reason somebody wants, along dsound api adjusted as default, to use internal mpc-be volume processing anyway.

Current behavior is confusing if you actively use both player's and/or tray control's volume slider and is related just to volume. Because for example if dsound is adjusted, resampling (if necessary) is performed within dsound api (not player's internal resampling), what is IMO as it should be.
Only marginally now, there can be option to use just internal resampling (if necessary and fast enough) as well along dsound adjusted, to save some cpu cycles for dsound.dll thread and maybe for whole player process, but it is just idea and not priority, there is player's own renderer for internal resampling anyway..

Maybe the player has to be properly registered to perform processing in windows audio engine, when immediately after opening it, player's volume column appears automatically in volume mixer tray control without playing something first.

Thank you for considering this.

It seems to be related to a previous post of mine, where I said streaming channels, sometimes, only displayed audio.

Today I tried that channel again, and it's playing properly (the other day wouldn't play video at all). BTW I'm using the same build as the other day.

It seems to be a random thing to me...whatever it is.

Thanks anyway.

It's not a bug. XySubFilter store subtitles's delay.
And - we don't touch it's value after close media file.

If need reset subtitles's delay for VSFilter/XySubFilter - i do it. :)

Hello, I want to ask a question that maybe is stupid but I'm not an expert and so please guide me if it's a matter of settings.

I've got an rtsp stream (ip cam on local network) in h264 format, If i open it with mpc be it lags several seconds behind "live" (it is actually unusable since it can lag up to 2 minutes).
The problem happens only with mpc be and mpc hc, if I open the stream with vlc everything is fine (it has less than 0,5 seconds latency).

I've tried to change some settings (using nvidia cuvid etc) but nothing changes, so please help if you can

Thanks in advance :D

P.S. Tested up to 1.4.6 (build 882) beta

@ MPC-BE devs:

According to the following mpv commit, FFmpeg should be able to properly support DASH now (in conjunction with youtube-dl), see:

https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/78caf6ae8634b9fe9589187d8febb927dce2ddeb

And this appears to be the FFmpeg commit that made DASH work properly now:

https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/4ab56667594842283dc5ae07f0daba2a2cb4d3af

So, would there be any way YouTube DASH videos could also be supported with MPC-BE now?

Maybe by implementing youtube-dl inside MPC-BE or something like that?

mpv definitely can play YouTube DASH videos (in conjunction with youtube-dl).

It would be really nice if MPC-BE would also be able to do that.

Regards

MPC-BE support open & play YouTube DASH videos long time ago ... but from local store. Opened from http:// - not supported.

Hi there,

I'm getting MPC-BE crashes with any AMD driver post 14.12. I tried 15.7, 15.7.1, as well as the recent 15.10 beta, and I keep getting crashes as soon as the player launches, before it even starts playing anything.

This is with an AMD HD 7870, Windows 8.1 Pro x64 with MCE (details in sig).

I'm launching my Blu-ray rips to BD Folders from MyMovies. This is with the last stable of MyMovies, the last stable of KCB Black (0.7) and the last MadVR (0.89.13).

Is this a known bug? Anyone else experiencing this? It's been there for a while now.

I'm happy to help debug this, but I have reverted to 14.12 so would need to reinstall the drivers causing the issue to debug. There are no crash with Catalyst 14.12, only with more recent versions.

Please let me know if you need any more information and how to get it to you.

I'm having trouble starting videos: I start a MKV by double clicking in Windows Explorer, which launches MPC-BE, and THEN there is a 10 second pause. The audio plays fine, but often times I'll get only the first second or two of video, then it stops showing new frames until around the 10 second mark, then it resyncs video to audio and I'm good to go. Worst thing, the controls are completely unresponsive, I just get a spinning "computer is busy" pointer.

This only happens on player start up, not if I choose a new video from within the player.

Windows 7 x65, AMD Pheonom II triple core CPU, nVidia 8600GTS video card, 8 MB ram, video files are stored on local hard drives. Power management isn't the cause (that is, the hard drives aren't sleeping when I begin the video.)

System was rebuilt a few months ago w/ a new SSD and new install of Win 7. I install MPC-BE using the archive instead of the installer on this machine. The issue wasn't present for at least a month afterwards, as I was looking for problems with the new build and didn't find any.

I've had this problem for a few months, I figured it was introduced in a nightly build and would get resolved, but still no. Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?

check your harddisk

Different issue: On another Win 7 computer, I load a DVD iso using VirtualCloneDrive 5.4.7.0, then watch the DVD using MPC-BE 1.4.5 (build 677). When I exit the program, it auto-ejects the image. This is undesirable, is there a new option for this behavior?

[73ChargerFan]

check your harddisk

I have 6 hard disks and it does this on all, also across the network from 3 other computers.

Note that I don't have this problem on other computers, so maybe it is a flaky video card? I don't have a spare to test, though.

I'll try turning DXVA on/off to see if that helps.

There is no such option. The player automatically mounts the image using Virtual CloneDrive and automatically unmounts it at the end of play.

Hi, so since it seems MPC-HC has stalled in development, Im trialling MPC-Be. I currently have spent a few hours learning the settings and configuring my x64 nightly MPC-BE to use the external GIT LAV Filters v33. Some questions please:

Q: Where can I find button toolbars that are huge for high DPI 4K displays? Like minimum 48x48 or bigger? Im running a curved 65" UHD display. The default is way too small and doesnt work for a user in the setup.

Q: Im having troubles figuring out how the development is going and what features are supposed to be present since the commit logs are in Russian and I dont speak it. Is there a way to get english change notes for the in dev stuff not released?

Q: Like the above, is bluray disk menu playback supported like what VLC have been doing recently with full java bluray menu support?

Thanks, I look forward to contributing to bug reports and so on

[73ChargerFan]

There is no such option. The player automatically mounts the image using Virtual CloneDrive and automatically unmounts it at the end of play.
No it wasn't automounting it. I mount the image myself beforehand, play the dvd, take notes about extras / play lists / episode names, then expect the image to remain mounted so I can convert it to various MKV files.

Please, if it didn't automount, then it shouldn't auto-unmount.

Hi, so since it seems MPC-HC has stalled in development

Anything you are waiting in particular? Any issues, requests?

[XMonarchY]

What are the benefits of using MPC-BE over MPC-HC??? Here's my setup: MPC-HC x86, LAV Filters, ReClock, madVR. I definitely need to use ReClock to get perfect video + audio synchronization. Would it be of any benefit for me to switch from MPC-HC to MPC-BE? From what I see, MPC-HC is more a raw player, while MPC-BE comes with some enhancements, but aren't they redundant when used with LAV Filters, ReClock, and madVR???

[Nullack]

I posted some screenshots showing high dpi font scaling bugs in the MPC-HC GUI in your discussion thread. The tickboxes in filters for example. This is fixed in MPC-BE.

Since, Ive also noticed that the CTRL J statistics in MPC-HC are also too small too read in MPC-HC. Its fixed in MPC-BE.

Im happy to assist both projects with bug reports for things I notice :)

For both projects, it would be super awesome in the request of features space to have my dream of:

1. VLC dev style attempts at full java menus with bluray discs

2. Support for 3D bluray discs, including going full screen and changing from a 2D resolution to a 3D resolution automatically for 3D bluray content. e.g. My UHD 4K display does 2160P@60hz in 2D, but it goes down in 3D mode to 1080P@24hz.

The DVD stuff in both works well, its high time for bluray content to be fully supported :) I believe libluray has come a long way - I just use anydvd for decypting

Thanks, so you're saying this is a known bug and using 14.12 is the solution?

How about if I move to Win10/Upgrade my GPU? Is this issue only present with my AMD HD7870 on Win 8.1?

I'll probably need a more recent driver if I upgrade the GPU/OS.

Right now, I have no problem sticking to 14.12.

Will be fixed.

1. VLC dev style attempts at full java menus with bluray discs

This would require separate filter it isn't a job for the player. And since no one is willing to work on it. We have what we have. I personally care too little about menus which only made me click few times more before I can actually watch a video.

The DVD stuff in both works well, its high time for bluray content to be fully supported :)

DVD support is provided by Microsoft. It is completely different story.

[Nullack]

And was fixed in MPC-HC like a month ago...

I'll take another testing look at your new nightly build. The last nightly build that was there for awhile as the latest hat for sure, still had the problem. If its still bugged Ill post a new screenshot and build number in your discussion thread.

I've mounted Blu-ray and HD-DVD images, and play one m2ts or EVO file. Then when I try to play a second m2ts or EVO, I get a "error, file not found" message from within MPC-BE! It shouldn't auto-unmount every time I change video file.

Update to a newer nightly fixed it. The problem was w/ build 677, which was the newest nightly available on sourceforge per post #1.

Now build 909 doesn't have the problem. Sorry for the alarm.

What are the benefits of using MPC-BE over MPC-HC??? Here's my setup: MPC-HC x86, LAV Filters, ReClock, madVR. I definitely need to use ReClock to get perfect video + audio synchronization. Would it be of any benefit for me to switch from MPC-HC to MPC-BE? From what I see, MPC-HC is more a raw player, while MPC-BE comes with some enhancements, but aren't they redundant when used with LAV Filters, ReClock, and madVR???

I find MPC-HC is better for fullscreen use when controlled with a remote.

The OSD elements are more user-friendly in MPC-HC. When seeking through a file, the time remaining flashes on the screen to tell you where you are in the file. MPC-BE requires this information is enabled manually through a key press. So seeking is done blind. Also, I can check the audio or subtitle tracks in MPC-HC by pressing "Next Audio" or "Next Subtitle." Viewing the audio or subtitle track in MPC-BE is possible, but only if there is more than one track available.

Both players have a dearth of usable OSD elements from a TV viewing distance, but MPC-HC is currently a little more user-friendly.

The program never launches correctly. Instead, it crashes the explorer file manager when I try to start MPC-BE64.exe
No blue screen of death, but I can't kill the explorer process and have to restart the computer. There isn't even an option to collect a crash report, debug log or memory dump

MPC-HC works fine, and MPC-BE used to work. Maybe a Windows update? I get them fairly frequently now.

We are know. Problem that toolbar based on image file ...

Gday. I'm just thinking about this some more. The problem is I cant use MPC-BE currently because the toolbar is way too small in HTPC situations with say a 65" display and a 10 foot viewing distance.

I understand the long term thing about scalable graphics that would scale to what high DPI and high resolutions a user may do. I understand this would take time to develop as its a new feature.

Rather than alienate users like me until this is done, do you have anyone that for the time being could artist up a toolbar in say 64x or 88x? Im not an artist so I cant do it. Would doing that as a workaround with a much larger toolbar download as an option be better than waiting for some future unplanned date for it to be useable?

Thanks

[Aleksoid1978]

Hi everyone,

I came across a very strange thing and I was wondering if anyone had an explanation.

This seems to be related to MPC-BE as I tried with MPC-HC and couldn't reproduce, hence why I'm posting here.

I have also tried with EVR-CP, and I get the same issue as with MadVR, so this rules MadVR out too.

Setup is as per my sig.

Here is the issue:

When I play a UHD file (x264, but the same happens with HEVC content) from the desktop using MPC-BE on my UHD compatible display (JVC X500, it's not 4K native panels but it does accept 4K content and then displays it using e-shift), MPC-BE does some downscaling even when set to fullscreen / touch window from the inside.

Instead of displaying to the UHD actual window (desktop definitely set to UHD 24p), it downscales to 3072x1371 (both with MadVR and EVR-CP).

However, if I play the same file, using the same player (MPC-BE) with the same renderer, from MyMovies (MCE plugin) then the file is displayed fullscreen as it should be with no downscaling.

I've taken some screen shots in the various modes, so you can take a look if you want. Here is a link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/60hx72bhg9wtmxy/MPC-BE%20downscaling%20issue.zip?dl=0

You'll need to zoom up the screenshots to see the MadVR stats as they are UHD screenshots obviously.

It does this with all UHD files, irrespective of the encoding.

Please let me know if this is a known bug, or if anyone can reproduce this.

Thanks!

[madshi]

Could be high DPI setting related? At least the madVR OSD looks "scaled" in one screenshot, which should only happen if madVR's output is scaled behind madVR's back.

[Aleksoid1978]

What MPC-BE version use ?? Try latest svn from here - http://mpc-be.org/builds/

[Manni]

Thanks, I'll double check that. I did use some scaling to make the desktop more visible, so it might be the reason, but it doesn't explain why it happens in MPC-BE and not MPC-HC (which I never use but installed just to debug).

Any plans to display this OSD info larger when in UHD? That would be great! :)

[Manni]

Thanks for the quick reply. I used the MPC-BE bundled with the latest KCP 1.0.8, as per my sig. Can I just drop the latest build you link into the KCP subfolder, or do I need to uninstall KCP and install MPC-BE separately to test this build?

Thanks again, I'll try this and report (after checking that changing the DPI settings doesn't solve it, as suggested by Madshi).

You were correct, if I make sure the DPI setting is set to the minimum there is no downscaling applied even with the MPC-BE build included in KCP 1.0.8.

I have checked with the latest MPC-BE build, and the problem is gone, even when DPI settings are applied, so it now behaves as MPC-HC.

Thanks again to both of you :).

Thanks, Ive been trying to do this. I found some doco from a post in 2010 here:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=153123

But it seems out of date cos it says its limited to 32x, when for example in MPC-HC there is a toolbar that is 48x48 by Reckless. And I need the icon size way bigger than 32x, such as 64x.

Is there current documentation on how to skin and what is supported in MPC-BE with size, format etcetc

[Aleksoid1978]

No limit to the toolbar size. Here some toolbars - http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/files/Toolbars/
You can take 32x and resize to 64/128/256 for test and see what's happened :)

Gday, on the latest nightly x64 build. When using 4K in high DPI (my monitor defaults to 300% DPI by default in Windows 10), and a user right mouse clicks during playback, then does filters, then selects one of the filters, the Pin Info tab GUI is garbled up and does not display correctly. I reported this bug to the MPC-HC Team, and it was fixed in their code fairly recently in their source code commit log so it should be straightforward to fix it also in this fork.

Link to screenshot showing the bug:

Another fixed in MPCHC one to do with 4K resolutions and situations of high DPI 300%, again on the latest nightly x64 build. In the CTRL J statistics menu, MPC-HC has the video graph at a size that is easy to see. Heres a pic:

http://i67.tinypic.com/vxm915.png

In MPC-BE the graph is too small and is very hard to see in granular detail:

http://i66.tinypic.com/3g2er.png

I do really like how in MPC-BE theres also a CPU and GPU useage indicator in the renderer stats, thats not in MPC-HC and its useful.

Thanks

This one I also reported to MPC-HC but it is not fixed. It also exists in the nightly x64 build of MPC-BE. In 4K with high DPI settings, the GUI for lav video/lav splitter/lav video decoder on the LAV Formats tab is broken. When viewing any of the three LAV config programs outside of MPC-BE, the formats tab for all three display fine as per the below screenshot:

http://i66.tinypic.com/2gxnzpf.png

But then a user is in MPC-BE and they want to view any of the three LAV filters format tab, it gets garbled up in high DPI 4K situations like the following screenshot

There is a performance problem in the latest nightly x64 build of MPC-BE. It occurs when using the EVR-CP and playing back 10 bit video in HEVC. Normal 8 bit video in HEVC is ok. I am using the nightly x64 LAV filters to do DXVA 2 native decoding of HEVC, so thats zero internal MPCBE filters and only the external LAV nightly ones. I have set EVRCP to use the 8 bit integer for the renderer. I do not run D3D FSE. What happens is that the CPU is slammed for no reason in playback and the playback of high bitrate L52 HEVC MAIN 10 content becomes a stuttering mess. Here's a screenshot of the renderer stats:

http://i65.tinypic.com/2nhpyrd.png

There's no reason MPCBE should be using the CPU so heavily. In MPC-HC, the CPU on the same file is barely touched and is just a few percent in utilisation. Theres something different about how MPCBE is dealing with 10 bit videos compared to MPCHE. In any case since Ive told MPCBE to use 8 bit integer in the renderer I cant see why it is trying to use the CPU.

Thanks

Hi all. Who have Win10 + Nvidia or Intel. Check this build https://yadi.sk/d/ieCV2GUemAsfr on software 10bit video playback + EVR/EVR Custom.
I accidentally discovered that on my Nvidia 960 + Win10 - EVR/EVR Custom accept P010 input in software decoding :)

[Nullack]

Gday mate. I was delighted to see the commits into the trunk on these items :) This is just great. Ive tested sir on x64 Win 10, Nvidia GTX 960 2160P@60Hz HDMI 2.0.

Commit #r014 - all passed testing, P010 high colour footage is now accelerated in DXVA 2 by LAV filters. And MPC-BE with the EVR-CP render shows it smooth as silk, its truly awesome to watch high bitrate HEVC L52 MAIN 10 content on MPC-BE. I have not had much luck with poor test results on MadVR/Windows 10 in 4K but the EVR-CP is working great. And it's fantastic how with MPC-BE in the EVR-CP, you get allot more options and flexibility in the output with choosing between 8 bit and 10 bit integer modes than the EVR-CP version in MPC-HC which has less features.

Commit #r1013 - The new renderer stats size is great. Works well on a 10 foot gui, my 65" display with 300% DPI. Top stuff!!!!

I cant test commit #r1016 until a build is on mpc-be.org or theres another compile I can download. I'm excited to see the pin info working with high dpi.

Hoping you might be able to weave even more magic and fix the LAV filters formats tabs in high dpi when viewed under MPC-BE.

Thanks so much, :)

Maybe need ask LAV's author about it - he can test and say what's wrong.

Gday mate. I was delighted to see the commits into the trunk on these items :) This is just great. Ive tested sir on x64 Win 10, Nvidia GTX 960 2160P@60Hz HDMI 2.0.

Commit #r014 - all passed testing, P010 high colour footage is now accelerated in DXVA 2 by LAV filters. And MPC-BE with the EVR-CP render shows it smooth as silk, its truly awesome to watch high bitrate HEVC L52 MAIN 10 content on MPC-BE.

i don't like to ruin your dreams but the image EVR is rendering is just 8 bit.

[Aleksoid1978]

i don't like to ruin your dreams but the image EVR is rendering is just 8 bit.

So what ??

[huhn]

until this gets fixed by microsoft not a lot has been won by this.

[Nullack]

The fix is useful cos now its using dxva 2 as instructed in settings to accelerate playback. Without it, its a stuttering mess for high bitrate complex material with 10 bit colour. I realise its not hdr high colour rendering but for the moment Im experimenting with RGB 60hz stuff which on my setup is limited to 8Bpc anyway at that refresh rate and UHD resolutions. The fix is a great step ahead for those use cases.

[huhn]

your system has clearly an major issue. MPDN isn't starting, madVR is dropping frame like crazy and dxva copyback with EVR isn't working too. all this is a piece of cake for an GTX 960.

at the moment there isn't a way to get 10 bit to EVR without DXVA native right now.
but the real deal getting 10 bit to the driver isn't fixed yet. but this was the first step.

[Nullack]

DXVA Copyback generally does work with the EVRCP, I prefer not to use it as native uses less GPU memory. Thats why Ive focused most of my testing on the native method. Ive only got 2GB of video ram. I can get 12Bpc happening at UHD resolutions, its just my display cant do it at 60hz. For the time being Im playing around with 60hz RGB, which with my display at that setting is limited to 8Bpc. I have to drop down the refresh to get higher bit colour happening.

As for the other issues with madVR and mpdn, I welcome input into the other threads on those this isnt the place for it.

[Aleksoid1978]

On my GTX 960 + Win10 working software decoding 10 bit(H.264/H.265/Apple ProRes) on EVR/EVR Custom. EVR accept P010 input and i have picture.

Here test build - https://yadi.sk/d/ieCV2GUemAsfr

[huhn]

interesting change. it is still nv12 on my r9 270 i will test it on my 960 gtx later.

Hi, now that mpc-be.org has build r1019 I was able to test the pin info fixes in high DPI 4K situations. All great, pin info no displays for all filters just fine. Thanks for the commit.

Since it's almost XMAS, heres two items on a XMAS wish list for feature enhancements :)

a) Ability to instruct MPC-BE to close itself following playback ending. Perhaps other options too on what to do at end of a file.
b) Building the nightly builds on MPC-BE.org with a digital certificate so that the binary is fully signed like Hendrik does with LAV filters.

Thanks

Hi guys,

I have an issue that has existed for a long time. I use livestreamer ( https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer/releases ) to watch live streams on MPC-BE. But the stream won't start to play with the built-in splitter of MPC-BE. however, swiching to LAV Splitter Source works. I really hope MPC-BE can do work all by itself.

There is a 24H stream that you can test with:
http://www.twitch.tv/ink_owl

Here is the command to pipe the stream to stdin of MPC-BE:

How do I go about getting a debug build of MPC-BE? I am experiencing random crashes during playback of DVD files and I want to narrow it down to MPC-BE, LAV filters, madVR or video drivers. It is a MPC-BE crash so I assume it's a MPC-BE fault.

[somespirit]

MPC-HC BE 1.4.6 1034 and before versions also, so i have problem Color Correction no more works at all, this happend after i installed AMD Crimson 15.12 driver on AMD 6850 video card (Win 7 x64)

[v0lt]

How do I go about getting a debug build of MPC-BE?
You need VS2013.5 or VS2015.1, MSYS_MinGW-w64_GCC and source code (https://sourceforge.net/p/mpcbe/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/).

i have problem Color Correction no more works at all, this happend after i installed AMD Crimson 15.12 driver on AMD 6850 video card (Win 7 x64)
1. In the driver, select "Use application settings" in the "Video Settings".
2. Use a different version of the driver.

On build R1055 there is no file open for image types like .jpg. I suggest images needed to be added as a group of files used in MPC-BE, just like you have groups for Video and Audio. This is important for calibration test patterns. Also the more general use case of someone just wanting MPC-BE to be the "everything" media player they use exclusively cos MPC-BE is awesome :) Yes you can force it to open a picture via open with in windows but the MPC-BE file open GUIs should just handle it in my humble opinion.

[Aleksoid1978]

MPC-BE - it's a video/audio player. If you want open picture - simple dran'n'drop file or - in Open Files Dialog select All files(*.*).

[chros]

1 - test with latest AC3Filter, playback is fine.
Thanks for the answer. I made more testing:
- in ac3filter on System tab only PCM and LPCM is checked
- it indeed works fine with mp3, aac audio (e.g. in mkv container)
- problem exist with e.g. ac3/dts/dtshdma audio
-- not matter if I use wasapi shared or exclusive (!) with MPC Audio Renderer
-- same with Directsound audio renderer
-- maybe it's connected to bitstreaming (there's an avreceiver in the chain)
-- MPC-HC bitstreams the ac3/dts/etc audio even when exclusive mode is swithed off, strange

I'm using 1.4.5 x64 and ac3filter 2.6.0 x64.

Someone experiencing the same happening in Nvidias Realtime Color Correction (Enhancing) Algorithm ?

Maxwell GM204 (359.06)

It seems very rare and Input dependent though.

Also as if you would need a very very high density scene (Natural Sun Light) with a window or door directly going outdoors and a very high captured exposure.

Normaly it seems just to try reconstructing Chroma back that it thinks got lost in the 4:2:0 Compression it seems but sometimes it does this strange looking turquoise results.

And yep it seems to analyze at least parts of the Encoder bitstream data for it's decisions (Recosntruction Model).

the left picture is just white clipped.

[CruNcher]

yes its overexposed but still Nvidias Color Correction is trying something here (right Nvidia result) which in the end result looks more bad overall then the overexposure alone ;)

[huhn]

can't tell wothout the file but i don't think so thsi is just a wrong rendered file.

atleast the left picture is not current.

but more important what does this has to do with MPC-BE?

Hi, using machine translation of one of the recent commits

Change: Added support for scaling elements toolbar according to the current DPI (system or the current screen). While it supported values ​​up to 200% (more than just will not scale).

Im thankful for this. In full screen, on UHD resolutions with high DPI it is heaps better fellas so thanks allot! :thanks: But please, is not really the ultimate solution cos in my case, Microsoft recommends and actually defaults the display to a DPI scaling of 300%. I sympathise that your having problems going beyond 200%, but it wont ever look right for people with my setup until its 300%. Please consider :D

In window screen, its way too small. There is something wrong between the size of window screen and the full screen.

Im on the compile number #1095

Cheers fellas

I don't have a hardware for test > 175%. Can you tell what percent value between 200% and 300% is present on slider in Windows 10 ??

[Nullack]

Hi, Im not quite sure what your asking (I realise we have language barriers) but I think you want to know how the setting of 200% is different to 300%. Im sorry I dont know exactly because in Windows 10 in the desktop control panel, all it says is "Change the size of text, apps and other items: 300% (Recommended)" and it doesnt say how 200% which is a lower setting is different to 300%. WIthout a user doing anything, everytime I update display driver versions it defaults to 300% and 300% "looks right" for my setup.

To try to help you, I found this info but sadly it doesnt give exact numbers on 300%:


DPI Setting Minimum Resolution
96 (100%) 1024x720
120 (125%) 1280x960
144 (150%) 1536x1080
192 (200%) 2048x1440

It came from here:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2014/04/14/dpi-scaling-issues

Basically your latest commit makes fullscreen on my high DPI UHD display "better" but its not "correct to the eye". In window situations though, its the same as before and something is wrong because the recent commit is only helping fullscreen and not window situations.

Thanks again for all the great work coming out of the MPC-BE Project :)

you can test it too with a simply trick.

nvidia control panel -> manage 3D settings -DSR - Factors activated 4.00x (native resolution)

now you can change the desktop resolution to UHD and test the DPI settings. of cause not a good idea for general desktop usage but what ever.

i could give you the DPI scaling setting up to 8k you like.

Hi

I just want to share a story of success and to give a word of thanks. So if you've got nothing better to do, sit back and hear my adventure in multi channel PC audio :)

I got a vizio S4251 sound bar. It's about as good as you can get for $185 shipped if you only have space for a sound bar and don't want to run wires for rear speakers. Anyway, the bar has no HDMI, and I want to connect via HDMI (I also have on board realtek audio with optical out, but the optical input is taken, and the sound on my nvidia card is better). Just plugging the PC to TV doesn't do it because Windows only sees a 2ch device with no encoded format.

I went through a bit of trouble trying to work around this with EDID override. Couldn't get it to work. Then I found out, duh, like many TVs mine doesn't pass 5.1 through optical. I wasn't getting real 5.1 audio anyway except from internal sources, e.g. TV's apps. The TV down mixes HDMI sources to 2ch and the sound bar up mixes to fake 5.1.

Plan B: bypass the TV. Connect cable box via digital coax input, connect xbox via optical input. That still left the PC with no remaining digital input. I looked into getting the monoprice HDMI switch with optical out. Then I found it has no ARC support and some other caveats, I forget what. I didn't want to spend like $50 for an incomplete solution and have to deal with another box, another power cord, another remote. I might as well get a receiver, and then, real speakers. Argghh.

Then I remembered the Xbox has HDMI in and maybe could act as receiver. Bingo, now PC goes into xbox. Except Windows thinks xbox can only do 2ch, even though it lists Dolby as supported format. A little more research and fiddling and I got MPC HC to bitstream AC3, but no DTS(-HD) or TrueHD. I figured HDMI has the bandwidth for 5.1 uncompressed; if only I could decode audio into PCM and somehow get the xbox to accept it. More research got me into using reclock for WASAPI to bypass Windows' 2ch limit. Still no joy. The xbox doesn't seem to accept 5.1 uncompressed. Then I used ac3filter to encode into ac3. I was getting surround sound, but with scratches and break ups. So close yet so far!

I browsed through doom9 looking for a clue. Just by chance, I came across a post about MPC BE supporting WASAPI. I'd switched to MPC BE for a while then went back to MPC HC for some problem. Tried MPC BE again and used its renderer instead of reclock. Still same audio glitches. Then in desperation I decided to start clean. Got rid of ac3filter and lav and used MPC audio filter. Jackpot! Success at last.

So here are the settings to send multichannel audio from MPC BE to xbox one's hdmi in.

MPC audio renderer-----
Device: xbox one
WASAPI mode: exclusive
Allow bit exact: checked
Use system layout channel: UNchecked

MPC audio decoder-----
Output sample format: int16 and int32
Pass through: AC3*
Encode to AC3: checked

* Actually I think maybe the xbox handles EAC3 also, but I don't have a file to test it. I know DTS and TrueHD are no go.

In short thank you MPC BE team for the WASAPI [emoji173] [emoji173] [emoji173] I hope this too long post helps someone [emoji2]

PS: I did find one format that causes problem

http://thedigitaltheater.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/dts_sfx_short_lossless_1080p-thedigitaltheater.mkv

It's DTS-HD HR 7.1. It's ok if I uncheck encode to ac3, but I get no surround. With it checked, I get audio break ups.

[Nullack]

Hey guys. So the new video engine utilisation stats for the EVR CP renderer in todays nightly is working well. The system RAM utilisation while it works, it doesnt really tell me much of importance because even with MAIN 10 HEVC 4K @ 60 FPS in high bit rates 127 Mbps I only see 300-400MB used which is hardly anything. IMHO, its more important to know how much GPU RAM is being used, because most have more of an issue with GPU RAM utilisation than CPU RAM utilisation. Anyway its not a big item to my mind atleast and the renderer stats are comprehensive pretty much.

With the problems of the GUI at high DPI (300%) and high resolution (UHD 4K) I've noticed in addition to what I said earlier about bugs in this space, that when in fullscreen on the top right is a OSD menu that pops up - that menu is very small and much smaller than the bottom of the screen with the seek bar and so on. Thanks

[Aleksoid1978]

1 - i think i can add "GPU Memory Usage" indicator. But - only for Nvidia.
2 - about top-right OSD - it's a fly-bar, problem that it's use bitmap to draw elemets. When we can create different bitmap for different DPI - we add support scaling.

Hello and Happy Friday :) . And many thanks for a truly excellent media player. I've been happily using MPC-BC for several years but recently have been experiencing an issue with the audio when watching mkv files. I use headphones exclusively, and for the last several months (I'm a bit slow, ha ha) I've noticed that the audio level isn't consistent; that is, the volume gets noticeably louder and softer, like a sine curve (~), as if the normalization-replay gain isn't processing fast enough. Under "Options/Audio" I've always had the boxes for "Auto volume control" and "Boost audio" ticked and the "Level" set to 100, and I haven't changed any system settings (Win 7 x64). Also, I've noticed this wavering in the audio on two different laptops. I've tried adjusting the "Release time" under the audio options; when it's on "10" the up-and-down in the audio becomes less noticeable but is still there. Please, does anyone have any suggestions how to correct this problem? Thanks in advance for any help.

AFAIK you should lower the release time to reduce that effect.
I use headphones and normalizer too since years and never noticed your problem, but i have a SB Titanium with "Smart Volume Control" enabled. Maybe that compensates. You could try FFDShow´s audio processor. Its normalizing works great but could be its more or less the same code as in MPCBE?!

[LouieChuckyMerry]

Thanks for your reply :) . I just did a couple of quick tests with the release time originally, so I'll try lowering the number for an entire show tonight.

As I typed above, I never had a problem until some months ago. I've FFDShow installed, how would you recommend using its audio processor in conjunction with MPC-BE?

Its nothing special; Just add "ffdshow Audio Processor" as external filter in MPC options, set it to prefer, double click it, check codecs is set to Uncompressed/all supported/raw, add and enable "Volume" filter, check normalize (i used 1000% as max vol). Disable "Auto Volume Control" in MPC/Audio and restart player.

But as said, it could be you win nothing because MPC and ffdshow share some code here and there.

Good luck...

If Im reading the auto translated from Russian changelogs correctly the suprise youve guys have been working on is P010 support in EVR-CP?

[Aleksoid1978]

Yes, in Win10 on Nvidia EVR accept P010 input subtype, so can handle 10bit video.

[Aleksoid1978]

MPC-BE do not use any code from ffdshow.

[Klaus1189]

What do I need to watch 10 bit video?

- Nvidia graphics card which does support that?
- Windows 10?
- Monitor or TV which can display 10 bit per color connected with HDMI to Graphics card?

I personally don't know. I just wrote down what could be needed ...

[LogicDeLuxe]

On DVD, seamless joints aren't seamless with this, it seems. I don't have this issue with MPC-HC.
I noticed this with the German Austin Powers 3 DVD. Especially just before the actual subtitle scene, it has some unnecessarily short VOB IDs, where this is noticeable.

The screen is set to 50 Hz full HD.

If you don't have a seamless branching DVD at hand, you can also reproduce this with my demo image: www.abmischung.de_demo_v2.0.7z (http://abmischung.de/files/www.abmischung.de_demo_v2.0.7z) (40 MB)

I'm using the AC3 encoding option in MPC's audio decoding. It works fine except when sample rate is over 48000. I think I read that ac3 encoder can only handle two sample rates., one of which is 48000' Is there a way to make the filter resample?

Everytime I stream a youtube video, playback stops before the real ending of the video. Timers on the bottom right corner show the end of the video, but it's not. It ends like the video is corrupt or incomplete.

It's been happening for a few days/weeks, and I can't remember when it started. I tried build 1146 and it's not working properly.

FSE is in madvr settings,right? So is it not possible to get 10 bit on Windows 10 with EVR CP? I thought it is possible ...

EVR has FSE too.

yes FSE (d3d fullscreen)

don't forget the 10 bit display.
if you have an professional photo monitor you may have one.

and 10 bit output may not work properly too.

they added p010 INPUT support. the renderer could easily downsample to 8 bit at some point. this should easily happen with DXVA2 scaling.

Whenever i install MPC BE my quick access to pinned folders doesnt work, and sometimes it freezes my whole pc, anyone else expierence this at all? Never used to have any problems, im using a R9 390 with the latest amd drivers if that helps. as soon as i uninstall mpc be my quick access works again in pinned taskbar.

edit: and using Windows 10

edit2: It seems not enabling the custom icons during install helped, hopefully.

Hi

1) How to force MPC-BE to play video on start with window size matched to 100% video size? Every video I open is played in small window (dafault player size). I think tried all combinations from player menu, resetting mpc and nothing.

2) Some yt videos can't be rendered at all, for ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A5OdIdLYJI
Why?

[hdboy]

I did not understand what the problem is.

I have a sound bar with optical input. It can only handle Dolby and dts. So I use the internal mpc audio decoder, ac3 encoding option, and wasapi renderer to convert dts-hd and truehd audio into spdif bit stream for the sound bar. This works fine except with some truehd audio streams, where I get massive frame drops if I select sync video to audio or garbled sound if I select sync audio to video.

As far as I can tell, what the problematic audios have in common is a greater than 48khz sample rate. Is this a known limit? MPCBE's cpu usage is only 12%, so it's not overloading my cpu. It's not a huge deal since there's usually an alternative lo res audio stream, but I like to figure it out.

On my Tools page, I release pre-configured versions of MPC-BE for use when installing my codec package. If you were to use a current version of my codec package and a player downloaded from my Tools page that includes madVR, it would work with 3D MVC MKV files without any further configuration.

Hello Aleksoid1978,

MPC-BE doesn't successfully parse this hls-manifest-playlist (https://kalturahd-vh.akamaihd.net/i/content/r71v1/entry/data/412/112/1_yjrbfoc0_0_,e1d20ia2,r7mao8mk,ybgd4av0,439hamb1,3lu536fi,8ojsff0g,_2.mp4.csmil/master.m3u8). Actually it only loads the highest quality stream (the 1080p stream in this case) and the "Navigate" -> "Jump To" menu remains empty. Bug?

[Aleksoid1978]

It's not a bug - hls playlist not parsing.

[Reino]

But why not? Every other manifest-playlist I opened with MPC-BE in the past got parsed, including this one:

http://reino.degeelebosch.nl/files/Manifest-playlist.png

Why is the initial manifest-playlist I was talking about not being parsed just like the rest?

[Aleksoid1978]

CoRoNe

I was wrong - hls m3u playlist parsing, but only from http. You link - https. It's a limitation.

[Reino]

I didn't realize MPC-BE couldn't parse https.
Is it really a limitation, or can you add support for https?

[Aleksoid1978]

At now time - it's limitation. Maybe add support parsing https link in features, who know :)

[scollaco]

Aleksoid1978...first fo all thansk for the amazing mpc-be player. I use it exclusively and have never gone back to another player.

I'm a noob and don't understand exactly how things work...but I had a question. Since madVR/LAV can now play 3D MVC and blurays, I noticed the subtitles render in 3d but not at the proper depth. Is it the subtitle renderer inside the player that is responsible for allowing us to adjust the depth of the subs. Currently I don't see any way to do this. Seems like only top/bottom and side-by side subs work.

thanks

[madshi]

@devs,

I've had to introduce ISubRenderCallback4 as a new interface for the ISR (of course all the old versions are also still supported). For 3D subtitles I need to be able to tell the ISR at which 3D depth to render the subtitles.

It sounds complicated, but it's really simple. You only need to look at the new "int xOffsetInPixels" parameter. And all you need to do is to add this integer (it can be positive or negative) to the subtitle X position. So if "xOffsetInPxels" e.g. has a value of -3, you would draw the subtitle at position e.g. "x,y:97,100" instead of "x,y:100,100".

Here's the new interface definition:

[uuid("C89CF1D4-29C5-4A96-8AAC-528EC6F7AF1E")]
interface ISubRenderCallback4 : public ISubRenderCallback3
{
STDMETHOD(RenderEx3)(REFERENCE_TIME frameStart, REFERENCE_TIME frameStop, REFERENCE_TIME avgTimePerFrame, RECT croppedVideoRect, RECT originalVideoRect, RECT viewportRect, const double videoStretchFactor = 1.0, int xOffsetInPixels = 0, DWORD flags = 0) = 0;
};

Have you updated to the latest LAV nightly? Forgot to mention that it is needed to get proper 3D subtitle depth information from LAV to madVR. Without that I'm defaulting to a 3D subtitle depth of 4 (which is a bit nearer to our eyes than the screen). With the latest LAV depth might start as 4, but once the movie plays and actual subtitles are visible, the depth should sometimes be different.

Always getting offset=4 and flags=1 sounds like a bug, though. With 2D movies it should be an offset of 0. And with 3D movies it should alternate between +4/1 and -4/2 for left/right eyes. Sorry about that, will fix that in the next build.

Ok, v0.90.12 is released. It now always sends "xOffsetInPixels=0" for 2D movies. However, for 3D movies I can't confirm that "flags" is always set to 1. It should properly alternate between 1 and 2, and the xOffsetInPixels value should alternate between + and -. I tested that with a test build of MPC-HC sent to me by kasper93 and it seems to work just fine.

This information is in h264/MVC SEI information blocks. So it's not the splitter but the decoder who provides this information. The decoder attaches this information directly to the IMediaSamples. See "MediaSideData3DOffset" here:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/master/common/includes/IMediaSideData.h

Edit: nevcairiel was faster.

[Aleksoid1978]

madshi thanks.

[madshi]

There's one additional thing the splitter will have to do: The SEI depth information blocks contain an array of depths, one depth for each subtitle track, one for GUI etc. Currently madVR simply uses the "min" of all these values for subtitle rendering. For a "perfect" solution madVR needs to know which array index belongs to the currently selected subtitle track. This information is stored in the Blu-Ray playlist files. nevcairiel is planning to export this information from LAV Splitter in a future version. Maybe you can then do the same for the internal MPC-BE splitter? That said, if you don't do that, it's not a deal breaker. The current "min" solution madVR uses seems to work reasonably well (but it's not perfect).

In what format you need this information ??

[madshi]

In what format you need this information ??
In IPropertyBag. I think the latest LAV should already have this included. If you look for IPropertyBag, madVR reads most/all of them and makes use of it. Specifically, madVR reads (or will read) the following:

"ROTATION": allows madVR to auto-rotate a video which needs rotation
"STEREOSCOPIC3D": allows madVR to know early whether a movie is 3D or not (optimized initialization)
"STEREOSCOPIC3DMODE": allows madVR to know whether left or right eye comes first (important!)
"stereo_subtitle_offset_id": index of 3D subtitle depth track
"stereo_interactive_offset_ids": comma separated list of indexes for IG 3D depth tracks (used for madVR 3D OSD depth)

The last two are brand new and not in madVR v0.90.12 yet. They will be added next weekend. They practically let me know which array indexes in the SEI 3D depth information have which meaning and which I should use for subtitles and OSD.

Ok - i understand. Question about "stereo_subtitle_offset_id" - it's value can't be different for different subtitles track ??

[madshi]

Yes, it will often be different for different subtitle tracks! I'm not sure yet what madVR will do: Maybe I'll ask "stereo_subtitle_offset_id" every time I start rendering subtitles for a frame. Or maybe I can find a way to be notified when the subtitle track changes, so I don't have to ask "stereo_subtitle_offset_id" all the time.

[nevcairiel]

Yes, it will often be different for different subtitle tracks! I'm not sure yet what madVR will do: Maybe I'll ask "stereo_subtitle_offset_id" every time I start rendering subtitles for a frame. Or maybe I can find a way to be notified when the subtitle track changes, so I don't have to ask "stereo_subtitle_offset_id" all the time.

There should generally be something happening when the subtitle track changes. With LAV the graph will stop to do the change and then resume.

[madshi]

Yeah, I was planning to look into a log to see what happens in that situation and maybe find a good place to update the "stereo_subtitle_offset_id" information. On the other, I suppose the splitter will have this information handy, anyway, and asking it once per frame (so 24 or 60 times a second) doesn't sound like it would likely cause any performance issues, so maybe I'll choose the easy way out and ask it once for every frame (at the moment when I render it).

[Aleksoid1978]

With LAV the graph will stop to do the change and then resume.

With MPC-BE's MPEG Splitter is the same.

Hi madshi - can you check this build https://yadi.sk/d/bPiEQ69DpPZJP for 3D subtitles output. For checking 3D you can only use LAV Video because internal Matroska/MPEG Splitter support demux MVC stream. Also - MPEGSplitter support export "stereo_subtitle_offset_id" and "stereo_interactive_offset_ids" metadata through IPropertyBag.

I do not have yet the possibility to check with the 3D glasses. But in 2D i see difference :)

[madshi]

Thanks, I will definitely give it a try, but it may have to wait for next weekend. I haven't implemented support for "stereo_subtitle_offset_id" and "stereo_interactive_offset_ids" yet, and probably won't have time to do that before the weekend.

Thanks, I tried several files, and it works like a charm.

Does MPC-BE now also support vtt subtitles of a muxed MKV, or must this be added later?
I know at the moment there is no such a file, but the developer of MKVToolNix is already working on it, see https://github.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/1592

Ok, tested. I see that the splitter properly reports "STEREOSCOPIC3DMODE = mvc_lr". Also I can see that ISubRenderCallback4 is supported, and sending data through that interface produces visible subtitles. So far so good. However, the subtitles appear to be rendered flat, without any 3D depth, although I do send +4/-4 xOffset alternating for left/right eyes (in the short test I did). Also "stereo_subtitle_offset_id" does not seem to be supported yet.

"stereo_subtitle_offset_id" & "stereo_interactive_offset_ids" can be present when open Blu-ray structure.
"stereo_subtitle_offset_id" present if any PGS subtitles present in movie. "stereo_interactive_offset_ids" present only if IG offsets present in .mpls

BTW, I can drag&drop the Blu-Ray disc drive, or the BDMV folder to MPC-HC when using LAV Splitter, and it starts playing the movie. That doesn't seem to work with MPC-BE, at least when using the internal splitter. Maybe you can add support for that, too? Would be quite nice!

1) Drag&drop - work like a charm with internal filters. You can drag&drop main BD folder, BDMV sub-folder or BD drive. If you need i can capture movie from desktop :)

2) I do screen on the same test build. Test on full BD with internal PGS subtitles.

[madshi]

Strange. Why didn't either work for me? I'm confused. Well, I guess it doesn't matter if it works for everybody else. :)

(FWIW, if you want to double check if "stereo_subtitle_offset_id" works properly, you can activate madVR debug mode and then in the log search for "stereo_subtitle_offset_id".)

I don't think they'll bother. Madshi looks to have vapoursynth support coming in a later version if madVR though so you could use that with any media player capable of running madVR.

there should be a "activate debug mode.bat" in your madVR folder.

after running this bat you should get a debug report on your desktop.

Yes. And if there is no bat file (some madVR re-distributions may have deleted it), you can manually rename "madVR [debug].ax" to "madVR.ax".

Hi guys, I found one issue with MPC Std input Reader when piping livestream to MPC-BE

If the livestream ends (no more data from stdin pipe), MPC-BE cannot detect this change, the player status will still be "playing". And the program will freeze if you click stop button or close the player.
Terminate livestreamer.exe is an easy way to reproduce this issue.

Hello and thanks in advance for any help :) . In addition to using MPC-BE as my default video player, I also use it, in conjunction with Subtitle Edit and a programmable mouse, to sync subtitles, taking advantage of "Options/Subtitles/Auto-reload subtitle files after detecting modification". Suddenly, however, this feature stopped working, as any modified subtitles are no longer automatically reloaded. I thought that upgrading from 1.45 to 1.46 (both stable 64-bit versions) was the cause, but after reinstalling 1.45 it's still not working: as soon as I save changes to the subtitle file in Subtitle Edit the subtitles disappear in MPC-BE and I need to reload them manually. I've not made any changes to my system lately, Win 7 64 bit, at least that I can recall. While I realize this seemingly isn't MPC-BE's fault, I was hoping that someone friendly and smarter than I, who understands how MPC-BE auto-reloads the modified subtitles file, could suggest a solution, as I'm clueless and would be really really happy to solve this. Thanks for your time.

[LouieChuckyMerry]

@LouieChuckyMerry
I think you need to press the "Save" button in Subtitle Edit to see the changes.

That's the problem. It used to be that saving the file in Subtitle Edit would auto-reload the file in MPC-BE; now, saving the file in Subtitle Edit makes the subs disappear in MPC-BE and I have to manually reloade them. As I typed earlier I don't think this is an issue with MPC-BE, I was just hoping that someone who understands the relationship between the auto-reload feature in MPC-BE and Windows 7 might have a suggestion on what caused the change on my system.

Edit: it seems that the issue is with Subtitle Edit. After reverting from 3.4.11 to 3.4.10 things are fine. I'll go pester Nilkse at the Subtitle Edit thread, thank you very much for your time (and Super Thanks for MPC-BE) :) .

[hdboy]

Suggestion: an option to not resume audio files. Rationale: though you usually want to resume watching a movie where you left off, usually you want to listen to a song from beginning. Or maybe files < N minutes (similar rationale). Or files played in a playlist. Or perhaps just add a toggle on menu or control bar to not resume file so you can change behavior on the fly.

Yes I just tested the latest SVN (build 1257) and it doesn't work :(

I then tested XYsubfilter and it works perfectly with that one. I much prefer MPC-BE internal subtitle filter though. Maybe you can message madshi to see what is missing to be implemented? Maybe it's just one simple variable or something.

What kind of subtitle do you test - PGS subtitle from 3D Blu-ray or text(srt/ass) subtitle ??

[scollaco]

I tested PGS subtitle from inside 3D bluray.

With PGS subs, the depth works correctly with xysubfilter. With srt/ass subs even xysubfilter doesn't have info for correct depth. So only PGS subs work correctly with XYsubfilter but not with MPC-BE internal subtitle filter.

[Aleksoid1978]

Very strange - for me all perfect with MPC-BE ISR. Just now tested with 3D glass, compare with xySubFilter - looks the same.

That is strange and the depth of both xysub and mpc-be matches?
I'm using frame packed 3D through mpc-be and madVR.

With xysub, the depth is correct from shot to shot. With mpc-be, the sub is at a fixed depth and a lot times crashes through the 3d depth of the characters in the film. Same scene with xysub is correct.
Did I download the right version of mpc-be?

Hi guys,

is there a preference/hidden switch/whatever to not show MPC-BE on taskbar at all (but only on the tray) like in Winamp for example? Unfortunately I only found an option to enable the tray icon. So to remove MPC-BE from the taskbar You have to minimize it, which is not really useful while watching a video as You can guess.

Many thanks!

Hello everyone,

I'm on a Vaio notebook with ALPS touchpad, Win 7 64bit.
Whenever I do a "middle click" (right and left click simultaneously on the touchpad buttons) MPC-BE crashes. Middle click on a usb mouse works fine. For example opening a new tab in Firefox causes this to happen.

Why use texture resolution more then Desktop ?? This makes no sense - as the subtitle will be displayed in the maximum size of the desktop :)

It makes no sense to render subtitles at 4K and output 1080p, as example.

The name should be in the file name of the screenshot, so maybe use a viewer displaying the file name even in fullscreen as lay-over.

Hi
I'm trying to set up a machine which is able to Play back 3d-mvc (without PowerDVD or StereoscopicPlayer, which both do work)...
Since for this, one needs madVR and LAV, I had to change the set-up of MPC-BE...

out of this, two questions arise :
- MPC-BE does not remember anymore the last Video Position if the playback is interrupted/stopped; how do I re-enable this Feature with LAV/madVR ?
- it would be nice, if MPC-BE would provide LAV and madVR as internal filters with Basic Settings, which would enable "out of the box" Standard playbach but also 3d... because I was not able to make it work for 3d (Standard 2d-1080p works but 3d only with but extrem stuttering/droped Frames)

Hi

- it would be nice, if MPC-BE would provide LAV and madVR as internal filters with Basic Settings, which would enable "out of the box" Standard playbach but also 3d...

I have to revise my request...
Nevcairiel confirmed that LAV will never do transcoding, so I will need also in future the MPC-BE internal filters to transcode aac-5.1 on the fly to ac3-5.1...

So, there remains only the issue that MPC-BE does not remember anymore (with LAV+madVR) the last playback position of the played videos...

So, there remains only the issue that MPC-BE does not remember anymore (with LAV+madVR) the last playback position of the played videos...

thanks

I never used transcoding function, what is the purpose of that?

[Klaus1189]

Done.

Can you please increase the size of the drop down lists to the left, there should be some space also for other languages, so the strings aren't cut off when the longest ones are selected.

ffdshow can reencode too same for AC3 filter.

I never used transcoding function, what is the purpose of that?

my mkv have all AAC Audio (typically 5.1) ;
I use SPDIF;
since the AV-Receiver is not able to decode AAC, I need to decode in the Player; with PCM I'm limited to Stereo; therefore the internal MPC-BE Decoder is set to pass through DD and DTS and to transcode everything else to AC3 which gives me 5.1...

in general I want to keep things simple : not install more codecs than necessary; LAV and madVR makes it already complicated enough... therefore I hoped that LAV could do it, so would not need to look in two places...but no such luck...

What do you mean 'not properly'?
It seems fine here with latest build 1298

[Klaus1189]

Look at display stats the red and green line should be parallel when using the Standard refresh rate of 60 Hz, but they don't. And you already see that the framerate is at about 28 fps, way too low. The videoengine is at about 98 %.
If I use external LAV Filters you see that the picture is played smooth at 60 Hz. The video engine is at very low load. Perfect playback.

When testing be sure to disable every external filter. Only use the internal ones of 1298. I used that version too.

Last week rtlxl.nl has fortified their servers and only by specifying a useragent can FFMpeg open the m3u8-playlist.

As MPC-BE (as well as MPC-HC) can't play the hls videostream, is it possible to add an option to enter a useragent?

Hello everyone,

I need help. I'm experiencing dropped frames when watching 60P videos. Using MPC-BE + LAV + MadVR. I've tried multiple settings and players but nothing works. Some just drop less than the others. All other videos run fine. Only 60P ones cause frame drops.

My CPU is Intel Core i7 6700K, and I'm using the integrated graphics card. Windows 10. My monitor - http://postimg.org/image/ygl37m7lz/
Running 1920x1080@60Hz. Also, I'm using Software Decoding since I see no difference using DXVAs.

Fullscreen MPC-BE - http://postimg.org/image/k7rb2vjzj/full/
Windowed Mode MPC-BE - http://postimg.org/image/9d6d00z5z/full//

Could someone please tell me what to tweak, in order to fix this? This is a 10 minute video and I get a few frame drops in Fullscreen every time (no, not the ones at start of playback). However, in Windowed Mode I get thousands. Wondering how to get rid of them all, if possible. Or at least have the same number of dropped frames in Windowed Mode, as I have in Fullscreen mode.

If you need more information, please say so.

I'll do anything. Thanks in advance to everyone!

Bet you its madVR related. Lower your settings or change renderer and retest.

If you have no issues with any other renderer then if you still need help post in the madVR forum.

can you update "SubRenderIntf.h" to 1.0.9 ?

[arrgh]

no, I have the configuration in the ini and all "filenames" and "filepositions" are empty resp. "0"

ok, some clarification :
I'm using Win8.1x64;
even when I push down UAC to the lowest, I need to start MPC-BE as Administrator in order to be able to change settings in the *.ini; obviously MPC-BE is not able to write into the ini-file, if started as standard user...

is it because I'm using MPC-BE with integrated madVR from Shark007...his codecs are also enforcing UAC...

or is this a Standard behaviour of Win8.1?

[huhn]

you don't need admin rights to change settings.

install an normal version to the default folder and try that again.

[Reino]

As MPC-BE (as well as MPC-HC) can't play the hls videostream, is it possible to add an option to enter a useragent?
I wish you would've at least let me know if you couldn't comply with my request, instead of just ignoring my post.

[Aleksoid1978]

MPC-BE don't support hls, so it can play it only with LAVSource. You can ask it's author for useragent change.

[Klaus1189]

you don't need admin rights to change settings.

I need Admin rights to enable ini file saving.
I use latest 1.4.6.1368 from Yandex. Installer version.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4y5u0gBKYqbUHRqMW02c3VpclU/view?usp=sharing

[huhn]

the installer doesn't allow you change the folder so try this:

get a portable version or copy the mpc be folder to another folder that is not your program files folder like c:/mpc-be.

yet again you don't need the to store your settings in the ini.

mpc-be is working totally fine by not letting you select store settings in ini. because it simply doesn't have the rights to do that in the current folder.

[Klaus1189]

Yeah, I don't use ini file, but it is usable for portable installation.

@devs: When there is a new stable release, please let me know, so I can check translation again some days before. Thank you :)

[xiringu]

I changed this:

Youtube->Initial buffer size=1 Mb, instead of the default 5 Mb.

And now I don't get sound (most of the time), only image. If I restart the video a few times, sound magically appears.

Changed back to 5 Mb and everything is working as usual.

Bug?

Thanks

[Telion]

The whole "Initial buffer size" section is just removed in commit 1386, so nothing to play with since the next nightly. BTW default is 3 Mb.

Is it possible to implement seamless/gapless AVCHD playback? I remember when I tested Potplayer some time ago it seems to support it. AVCHD files are normally split into 4GB files. So if you record longer than about 22-23 Minutes in 1080p50 with a camcorder like my X900M then you have more than one files. If you just add it into playlist, there is an audio gap. That feature would help me a lot.

So - tx3g subtitles inside MP4 it's just a text(like srt). About .ttxt - MPC-BE don't support this format.

[Jamaika]

I understand that if ffmpeg can do that and MPC-be will be able to display subtitles GPAC.

[nevcairiel]

So - tx3g subtitles inside MP4 it's just a text(like srt). About .ttxt - MPC-BE don't support this format.

tx3g and ttxt are the same format, also known as MPEG-4 Streaming Text or MPEG-4 Part 17.

And no, its not just text, it can contain a large variety of formatting thats not compatible to SRT.

[Aleksoid1978]

tx3g and ttxt are the same format, also known as MPEG-4 Streaming Text or MPEG-4 Part 17.

And no, its not just text, it can contain a large variety of formatting thats not compatible to SRT.

This sample contain only texted data "text1\ntext2".

LAVSource also output as MEDIASUBTYPE_UTF8, just as only text subtitle.

[Jamaika]

As regards the subtitle TTXT. The last lines of the text always have a misspelled times.
The end of the time the text is the end time of the film. And so it is displayed in MPC-BE.

Edit: Without a decoder lav filters work correctly.

I read the patch and don't understand something. Can not set the forced flag mov/mp4. Me didn't succeed.
Parse the forced flag from the mov tx3g subtitle atom (https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/commit/ec5a4156c9bb9d9855800dba0f5f42396850f67d)

Problem with size font SRT.
When we have a font size 36 for FullHD is actually displayed font size 60. I wonder why?

Using MPC-BE 1.4.6 x64 (build 1447) beta, same crash occurred with the latest stable release.
Using LAV Filters 0.68.0 x64 so all MPC-BE Internal filters are disabled.

Playback Output is set to EVR (custom) with resizer set to Bicubic A = 1.0 (PS 2.0) and Hardware Acceleration set to Nvidia CUVID.
I have Nvidia GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card with latest Nvidia drivers installed v364.72

The crash occurs only when Nvidia CUVID is enabled in LAV.
I think the issue is either with MPC-BE EVR (custom) or LAV or it could be xy-vsfilter 3.0.0.306 x64 conflicting with Nvidia CUVID, not sure.

The crash doesn't always occur and not all videos crash.

Hi again,
I got another feature request which would help me and maybe lots of other people, too.

If you record videoclips with your smartphone like an Android device or an iPhone, you normally automatically add GPS information to the files. I think there are also some AVCHD camcorders which support Geotagging.

In IrfanView, my personal favourite picture viewer for many, many years now, lets you open the GPS information if you load picture which contains GPS information into it, then press E for EXIF and on the bottom you can then press Google Earth and the GPS data is opened in Google Earth and you see where the clip was recorded if the GPS info is correct ;)

Can you add that to MPC-BE?

[Jamaika]

I'm not the author of MPC-BE. I can only say that AVCHD contain GPS information.
There are players at Apple who read GPS information.
http://www.divergentmedia.com/editready
http://www.divergentmedia.com/assets/images/er-metadata.png
Because of that many cameras to record GPS information directly to the codec h264. Manufacturers don't want be dealing this issue. I also heard the answer, why burn in old sytem AVCHD now that the container is much better ex. Sony XAVC-S?

[v0lt]

I update Basque translation from sourceforge and attached here it.
Please, release it.

MPC-BE 64-bit started crashing even with CUVID and DXVA turned off and i started getting error that Nvidia kernel stopped responding error in windows 10 notifications, reinstalling nvidia drivers didn't fix the problem so i went ahead and uninstalled 64-bit version of MPC-BE, LAV and xy-vsfilter and replaced with 32-bit, doesn't seem to be crashing now.
Looks like 64-bit version of MPC-BE or LAV or xy-vsfilter is conflicting somewhere with Nvidia drivers v364.72 64-bit resulting in MPC-BE crash.

[rock]

@kirakami xy-VSFilter 64-bit is known buggy, use Internal Subtitle Renderer or XySubFilter instead

[Klaus1189]

Hi MPC-BE Team,

I update Basque translation from sourceforge and attached here it.
Please, release it.

:thanks:

The file you attached can't be downloaded by v0lt and also not by me. Upload it somewhere else, I use drive.google.com but there are so many possibilities.
If v0lt can reach the file, he will update the translation.
Hope that helps you ;)

Although it isn't a standard mkv file, it seems that DVB subtitles in mkv have similar problems that PGS subtitles also had long long time ago.

If the value in Options->internal filters->buffer length is too low(eg 3 sec.), only the last few seconds of the subpictures with long duration would be shown.

OK with MPC-HC (and VLC doesn't support DVB subtitles in MKV)

PS: The file is created with XMedia Recode

Show time where it's happened.

If Options->internal filters->buffer length is 1, whole subtitle is affected

If it is 3, the most noticeable(with longest duration) one: between 00:01:19 and 00:01:26

Check MPC-BE v1.4.6.1464 -x86 (https://yadi.sk/d/G4tWq4TxrQ5pu), x64 (https://yadi.sk/d/l0_16QGwrQ5py).

[yuppicide]

I am using MPC-BE x64 1.4.6 (build 1034) beta. I have dual 27" monitors.

First off, how come the video stops (goes black) for 1 to 2 second when moving the video from one monitor to the other, then it starts playing again? I also have VLC installed and it does not do this.

I also still have MPC-HC x64 installed.. not sure of the version, but it doesn't have this issue.

Second, this only happens in MPC-BE as well.. when moving the video from one monitor to the other the sound changes! It's the same audio track, just has a different sound to it.. like you were changing with an equalizer or adding an effect.

[beter]

[Aleksoid1978]

For full support WebVTT subtitles - need converting in ASS/SSA format before using. It's can work with external sibtitles - bot never be working with embedded in container.

Why use Sanear Audio Renderer ?? MPC-BE have internal WASAPI audio renderer.

[huhn]

Why use Sanear Audio Renderer ?? MPC-BE have internal WASAPI audio renderer.
sanear has a features that the mpc-be audio renderer can't do.
one is the headphone crossfeed.

and there are more planned features like a "reclock thingy".

What is "headphone crossfeed" ?? How i can hear different with and without it's options ??

[huhn]

What is "headphone crossfeed" ?? How i can hear different with and without it's options ??

pretty sure my english isn't good enough for this but i give it a try.

first of all the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossfeed

when a human hears a sound you will hear it with both ears.
this way we can locate the sound source.

example a sound from the right.

in real life if you hear something from the right you will hear this with your left ear too. but it will be delayed and it will lose some of it's volume. so this works perfectly fine with speaker too.
but with headphones you will only hear a sound from the right at your right ear and nothing at your left ear and that's an issue because your brain things there should be some audio at the left side too . because of that you are kind of losing the ability to locate the sound source or with other word locating isn't the same anymore.

a crossfeed will add the same audio to your left ear too but with a delay and with less volume so your brain can locate the audio again like it used to be.

to try this out you need headphones of cause.

btw. this is pretty much a standard feature in computer games and a test with such a game is way more obvious.
games like CS GO have a "crossfeed" you just set audio output to headphone and you get it.
this helps a lot in locating other player that are making noise.

i found this page too: http://buschmeier.org/bh/study/soundperception/

i hope that helps.

1. When MPC-BE player stopped in WASAPI Exclusive mode, then I use other player, that player said "Device in use".
2. AVC/H264 DXVA gives broken image on latest build 1.4.6 1587, I use Windows 8.1 64-bit, GPU: Intel HD 3000 Sandy. I only have latest stable 1.4.5 on my hdd and fine with it. If there's a build that I should check to confirm the latest working build, let me know.

Well, µ$oft themselves is the only one to be blamed in this case... I mean, ambiguous terminology, because the marketing people speak louder than the technical staff.

Yes, it does: open it, then you'll see it in the Help menu. "Specific time" isn't supported you have to "program" it (e.g. in batch and the help of Task Scheduler).
What do you want to do? Alarm? :)

[LDD9O]

Hi chros,

Thank you for the reply. I found a Thumbnails software call Video Thumbnails Maker which create thumbnails (image) of a video. It support "open file at the specific time", so the "time" that the thumbnails was capture, clicking on that will open the video at that specific time.

It just something that I'm interested in taking advantage of.

Anyway, I never knew the "Command line switch", I see that it currently does support it using, "start pos hh:mm"

Will try it in future. Thank you.

when the entry is chosen, Win8.1 opens a window asking if the chosen program should be run or MPC-BE and the call to ffmpeg is never executed.

The best I can tell, there is no actual statement of default association, there is only this declaration:

Does anyone know enough about how associations work to determine what is missing and how to correct the problem?

[rock]

Maybe because Windows cannot find the executable file. Replace ffmpeg to the file location directly (e.g. you have ffmpeg.exe in C:\Programs then use C:\Programs\ffmpeg.exe). I wonder why you use extension .avi

[FredThompson]

".avi" was a typo left over from something else.

Your assumption was correct.

The path must be explicitly stated. I thought the system path would be used.

Thanks for your help. Fixed now.

Support assfiltermod?

[Aleksoid1978]

Support assfiltermod?

Why ?? :)

[ryrynz]

Why ?? :)

Will replace xy-subfilter in time.

[huhn]

it is using the same interface as xy subfilter and it is working fine already in MPC-BE.

so why not?

[Aleksoid1978]

Will replace xy-subfilter in time.

Who say ?? :)

[huhn]

xy subfilter isn't developed anymore.

the difference here is that libass is still developed and that independent from assfiltermod.
libass is already notable faster than xy subfilter when rendered at UHD.

it is the only directshow libass filter and the only subtitle filter that is using the "new subtitle interface" to my knowledge that is in active development.
as you may know libass is the main ASS/SSA subtitle rendered for none windows systems. the list of programs using it is long!

it is a young project that can "only" be used for Text based subtitle but i'm happy it is there.

xy subfilter support 3 inputs and assfiltermod needs an new instance for each as far as i can see.

if this needs to change you can ask the developer: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=173573&page=3


@madshi try right click "open in new tab" that works fine for me at least.

[nevcairiel]

AFAIK, madVR only supports one subtitle renderer through the new interface, so any smart subtitle renderer should ideally accept all subtitles on the same renderer and either offer an option which one to display, or "merge" them for display.

Or you know, use LAV Splitter so only one subtitle pin is exposed.

[ryrynz]

Could you add assfiltermod into the drop down box for subtitle renderers please? I still can't get MPC-BE 1737 to render with it for some reason.

[Aleksoid1978]

Could you add assfiltermod into the drop down box for subtitle renderers please?

No - filter is "bad". It's must accept multiple input subtitles pin. If and when it's will be done - we are think about add support it. Also it's don't support external subtitles ... Too early add.

Although the MPC-BE player works perfectly,there are some minor bugs in the player.The player can't at the same time split built-in two and more different language subtitles which are usually in blueray format

I don't know what the bugs are.maybe splitters have bugs,maybe not.perhapes the MPC-BE player has bugs.

Could you solve the problems?

Because too many HD fans have such a demand as I mentioned above

So how do we make it possible that the player displays built-in two and more different language graphic subtitles at the same time when it plays any of HD movies?

Quick question : I currently use MPC-HC and/or MPC-BE for playing bluray discs and HEVC samples. They rely on FFDShow and Madvr. I don't see a real difference between those two in daily use, and the changelog don't help me much. So a simple question : why do you prefer MPC-BE to MPC-HC (I guess it is a frequently asked question). Is it just because of the graph scale in statistics?

Nevermind i see now it's the Gui Rendering in the DWM context causing this slight overhead in the DWMCore through the SwapChain setup because of the D3D9 Gui Rendering so indeed it's pretty optimal in that Desktop Window Manager context.

It seems YT streaming for 4k 60fps is not aggressive enough, decoding queue often starts to get empty after a few dozen seconds of playing and playback stalls.

Greetings,
I remember that it was possible to increase buffers in MPC-BE, but now I
cannot find that option.
Has it been renamed to "jump distances" in Misc?
I have 5400rpm HDD so when jumping forward it takes sometimes five seconds for playback to resume.
How much should I increase "jump distances" to resolve this?
Thanks.

No.

No.
On the contrary, I would suggest to reduce the size of the buffer.
Large buffer gives a high reading load after the jump, but it can smooth out the jerks, if data reading is unstable.

View->Options->Internal Filters->Source Filters->Buffer lenght
This works for built-in source filters and splitters only.

Use the value that gives your case the best result. The optimum value for a typical use is 3 seconds.

Our player has no jump buffers.

Nope, I got 150Mbit internet connection (20MB/s), can watch the VP9 stream without problems in Edge with GPU decoding.
MPC BE does hardly use my available bandwidth, it mostly buffers with 2.6MB/s, which clearly isn't enough.

What about an option to buffer/download as fast as possible?
This should solve the problem for good.

According to YT stats, buffer with Edge holds for ~18s.

[Volfield]

It would be like an unlimited buffer. Doesn't have to be kept in RAM, could also be cached on disk.
The main problem is: Program doesn't download fast enough. It most likely wouldn't download fast enough with the fastest internet connection in the world.

By the way, I made a feature request ticket. Let's hope it is going to be evaluated positively.:D

You don't understand - current implementation of DXVA2 interpolation normal working ONLY on Intel IGPU. That's all - there is no discrimination.

You don't understand - current implementation of DXVA2 interpolation normal working ONLY on Intel IGPU. That's all - there is no discrimination.

Ok, now I understand. Erm, no, I don't. But, it still doesn't make any sense. Is this a real problem? Why the aforementioned fact would stop anybody from implementing it?

It would work only for Intel iGPUs. Wonderful. Isn't it nice? It wouldn't work on nVidia or AMD cards. Then what? Those users would probably use madVR or the default EVR-CP renderer with Bicubic resizer.

I feel there has to be more behind your stance concerning this issue.

Greetings,
currently I am on 1.4.6 (build 1590), which is latest stable.
How come then I am getting prompt to upgrade to latest 1.5.0 (build 1783), which has beta tag?

[Aleksoid1978]

Yes - it'a problem to make working DXVA2 interpolation on AMD/Nvidia. Not you understand ?? :)

Just about every build these guys release is stable. Grab the latest beta build 1967 here (https://yadi.sk/d/hlf1lfC8mKU58/!_last).

All right. Still, I see really no problem with the implementation for Intel GPUs first and then maybe putting a line under the resizers in the menu saying "DXVA 2 only works with Intel GPUs". For nV/AMD it can be sorted out later on in the developement, assuming that making it work for Intel is a lot easier than for the rest.;)

Then DXVA2 resizer for Nvidia/AMD is actually bilinear, right?

[huhn]

Then DXVA2 resizer for Nvidia/AMD is actually bilinear, right?

in MPC-BE but not in general.

AMD DXVA scaler is a low quality bicubic with a lot of banding and a picture shift for what ever reason.

the DXVA AMD scaler doesn't like RGB input it's using bilinear in madVR in this case.

proper bicubic 0.60: https://abload.de/img/bicubicjessb.png
AMD DXVA: https://abload.de/img/dxvaamdsfs14.png

long story short: use normal bicubic 0.60 with an AMD GPU instead of DXVA.

it should be the same for nvidia i can't test it right now but the DXVA scaler wasn't any good.

Was there a ffmpeg hevc decoder update recently ?

http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1782060&postcount=21100

Feature Request:

Graph only Mode 4 CTRL-J
Decoder Bitrate Line (Yellow) for the Graph
CPU Utilization Line (Blue)
GPU Utilization Line (Purple)

I think it would be a great addition also if the user could actually decide which timers to show individually selectable for the OSD Display Rivatuner style.

So finally giving the Statistics OSD configurability over the options menu and maybe even a Menu Preset and grouping System.

I mostly prefer Mode 2 because of the overall low latency that hardly interferes with the playback result @ all no matter how heavy the CPU gets tasked from the Decoder simultaneously to the GPU ;)


runs meanwhile super flawless on the old i5-2400 :)

CPU Utilization Line (Blue)

Too fatty will update the CPU/GPU load 60 times per second.
For detailed graphs CPU/GPU, better to use special software.

[CruNcher]

yeah i currently do that because of the missing Graphs

Rivatuners overall overhead is lower then the entire Mode 1 Statistics ;)

Hmm about the too fatty im not so sure if the impact would be so high as you think and seem to fear in a Graph Only Mode with 3 additional draw and timer calls we aren't in the 90s anymore and Nvidia tries to really be efficient as possible lot has changed ;)

Jesus sooner or later every Browser will be more efficient they partly already are.

If you really believe it's impossible you gonna fail nothing is impossible you have to face the challenge first.

How can I save "Touch window from inside" and "zoom 100%" in BE? Every time I play new video I lose zoom settings. In not full screen mode when video is 720P I want 720P window, when is 1080P I want 1080P window. Now when I play 1080P and another file is 720P, picture is still resized to 1080 window. :/

Perhaps you store the settings in the player folder (.ini file).

The driver refuses to work in 8K mode on 32-bit (it fails when initializing the decoder), it may indeed be memory concerns.

[RieGo]

i think it's time to ask you for help. i tried to use this player ages ago but skipped it because it simple didn't start.
now, years (?) later i decided to try it again, as MPC HC developement looks like it stopped.
Whenever i install the x64 version - stable or latest nightly 1.5.0.2029 - i simply cannot run MPC BE. no window appears and the process is killed after few seconds without any error.
x86 versions run fine, but i kinda would like to solve this issue.
Did anyone experience similar problems?
I'm running Windows 10 x64 i7-6700k. only internal graphics.

[CruNcher]

Im doing some low power efficiency tests and i found some really odd behavior on Celeron N2840 (Bay Trail) Windows 10 so far with the MPC-BE Gui slowing down the whole render thread when the seekbar gets Displayed on EVR (Native) it has a huge Performance and Usability hit and capability to drop frames even @ DXVA Playback which is odd as even the transparency overlay or the more heavier non osd statistics (Render Filter Statistics) doesn't cause such a massive frame drop out behavior.

http://ark.intel.com/de/products/82103/Intel-Celeron-Processor-N2840-1M-Cache-up-to-2_58-GHz

the test was 4K H.264 60 FPS High Profile Playback @ 50% CPU Consumption from a USB3 Host

As soon as the Seekbar gets actively rendered massive render frame drops take place on the EVR Output no matter the scale of the Window Surface.

Firefox, Chrome, Edge and Windows Media Player Interfaces work without issues.

anyone have issues with refresh rate switching? I used to use mpc-hc for years and now am trying this because it has stereoscopic subtitle capability for 3d films. The problem is sometimes it switches correctly to 23.976 and other times it switches to 24hz which messes up the movies. I have autoswitch turned on and the only settings are 23p which should be 23.976 and 50p for 25hz movies. Using Intel internal graphics on i3 6100.

Whole player GUI could use an overhaul but it's not going to happen any time soon as nobody is interested in developing it. Using one of the icon packs (skins) is the only option you have right now and only goes so far.

Can someone help me, I'm trying to figure out how to stretch my movies that are 2.35-1/2.40 to 1 to fit 16:9 screen using media center remote. Unfortunately the system is not smart enough to know a 16:9 movie is already 16:9 and stretches those too. So I have to stretch the widescreen movies to fit the height of the screen. Yes I know that its messing up the movies, but I've done it for years and I'm okay with it. So the problem is there is no option in the keys section for PNS 16:9 mode. Is there anyway to do this with the remote? I tried mapping key to PNS increase height and figured I could just press the key multiple times to stretch to height but that doesn't seem to work, maybe increases like slight amount of height and then does nothing on subsequent presses. The key map for resetting the PNS works fine from the remote so I just need a way to stretch to 16:9 via remote.

Meaning they have not been made to completely fill a 16:9 (1.77) screen...

Yes, I get that and stretching them screws up the height, but it doesn't matter to me, I prefer them to fill the screen.
