Check 2 pages back, from page 111.

Thanks.

I kinda feel like an idiot for not reading few previous pages... ^.^;;

Well, after reading it, these should be something that I can live with.

hi
I'm using only the internal Decoders.

Most of the time I'm playing mkv files with aac Audio, which I let convert on the fly to ac3 and stream through spdif to my Receiver. DD and DTS streams, I also let funnel directly to spdif....

I have now observed that this settings are lost when I Play in between e.g. a "real" DVD...somehow MPC-BE forgets what I have selected in the settings of the internal Audio-Decoder...

[arrgh]

a different Topic:
Stereoscopic Player, which I have payed for, is now able also to display subtitles of interlaced 3D-mkv (like produced by MakeMKV)...I'm wondering of it would not be possible to use this Decoder to implement this function into MPC-BE for those who have payed for StereoscopicPlayer...

Is it possible to add Gamma to Color controls?

Now there's Brightness, Contrast, Hue and Saturation.

Thanks

There are standard renderer capabilities. Gamma is not supported.

3 questions :)

1) I've seen that mpc-be can't remember the position where I paused some of my files. Is there a limitation on the number of files that remember this? Is it the same as the recent files?

2) Are there any plans on adding Color Controls to the OSD?

3) And any plans on being able to make and save shader (and color controls) presets?

Thanks

[xiringu]

Now,if you change values on color controls (inside the menu) while the video is paused, nothing happens. You can't see the changes until you start playing again.

I've seen that you can change shaders while paused and see the results immediately. Is it possible to do the same with color controls?

Thanks

...you have a PM...

[xiringu]

Is it possible to "remember" the audio track and subtitle settings, together with the current position?

This is what's happening:

When I watch movies with several audio tracks, and subtitles, mpc-be remembers the time when I stopped watching the movie, but I have to manually select the audio track and subtitles, everytime I resume playing.

Thanks

There's something wrong with subtitle styles.

If I do Right Click->Subtitles->Styles

and I put them on top of the screen it works, but if I do:

Right Click->Options->Subtitles->Default Style

I can't move the subtitles to another part of the screen.

Right Click->Options->Subtitles->Default Style - it's for default style & text subtitles without styles.

[xiringu]

OK, I understand the subtitle thing now. :)

Is it possible to add an option in Default subtitle to load a different subtitle, like the 2nd one for example?

And the same for audio. As I said before, I have 30 min movies with several audio tracks and subtitles, and I have to manually select audio and subtitles everytime. Loading the 2nd audio track as default would be very useful.

Thanks.

[xiringu]

I've found a series of movies that do a weird thing with subtitles.

Everytime I load one of them, subtitles appear on the right, no border and a shadow depth of 100.

I change it, and when I reload the movie, it happens again.

They are .mkv files. I don't know if this is a problem on the files, or the player. I've never seen anything like this before.

I can send you the file or the link in a PM, if you want.

This is what I can see in Subtitles->Styles

@Aleksoid1978

In the past, MPC-BE used to allow XySubFilter/xy-VSFilter/VSFilter to load when 'autoload subtitles' was enabled, while only enabling the ISR if no other subtitle renderer was present in the graph.

Now, ever since MPC-BE 1.4.2.4738, the renamed 'use built-in subtitle renderer' setting has been blocking XySubFilter/xy-VSFilter/VSFilter from loading and forcing the ISR. This reverted MPC-BE back to MPC-HC-like behavior, so it was likely a result of settings/gui merge which occurred between 1.4.2.4733-1.4.2.4738.

Was this behavior change intentional? Arguably the prior MPC-BE method more useful when it came to co-existing with other subtitles renderers, as well as ease of use. The MPC-HC method, while less functional, does have it's own merits in terms of reducing settings confusion though. I don't really mind either way. At this point I just want to confirm this wasn't a mistake, and if the current method will continue to be used going forward?

[xiringu]

I see now.

I didn't even know movies stored subtitle styles, that's why it was weird for me.

Thanks for the info :)

I downloaded MPC-BE v1.4.3 -dev build 5416 and something happened.

I watched 6 chapters of an anime series with a previous version and everything was OK.

These movies have 2 audio tracks and 2 subtitles.

Now, when I select the 2nd audio track, the whole movie (video + audio) starts playing very fast.

If I switch again to the 1st audio track, everything goes back to normal.

It doesn't happen with other movies (I tried another series with 2 audio tracks and they play well).

It's only these series (all chapters). The thing is that when I watched the first chapters (about 1 or 2 weeks ago) everything was OK.

By the way, MPC-HC plays them well, so it's only MPC-BE.

Thanks for report. Wait a fix.

[xiringu]

I skip a lot when I watch sports videos, and I've noticed that MPC-BE is generally slower than MPC-HC.

My computer is not very powerful, and some videos have problems when skipping a few seconds. Some are fast, some are slow, I guess it depends on many things, like enconding, bitrate, etc.

But what sometimes happens is that I can't watch some videos on mpc-be because everytime I skip, it takes 1-2 seconds, and if I try the same video in mpc-hc is faster.

As an example, videos I record with acestream (.ts), skip faster with mpc-hc, and those I record myself on my tv (.mts) as well. I can't remember now if it happened with other formats.

It's not something that happens with all videos. Sometimes, when I have problems with one, I try mpc-hc to see if it works better.

[foxyshadis]

MPC-HC is built-in with a recent copy of LAV Filters (https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases). MPC-BE doesn't, so you should install LAV, which should make everything faster.

[wanezhiling]

Latest mpc-be has already improved the seeking speed with H.264 mpeg-ts files.
You'd better upload a sample for test.

Yes - upload file for test, i look.

ffdshow doesn't load anymore for uncompressed, even though it's in the external filter list and set to prefer.
Since the mandatory switcher it's happening.

I'm using latest CCCP codecs, and I'll try the latest CCCP beta today.

I always use the latest build of mpc-be.

Next time I find a "slow" file, I'll upload it to you.

[xiringu]

When I play this video:

http://www.enlacaye.com/wordpress/wp-content/noticias/muralsalamandras.mp4

mpc-be downloads the whole thing, before playing (I have to wait until all video is downloaded).

Why is it different than youtube videos? Is it because of the video encoding, or is it just a mpc-be behaviour?

Thanks

[agustin9]

All ok. See:
http://i.imgur.com/vsYUCbZ.png

I can't get it to show up, and it does on mpc-hc. Anyone else have this problem?

edit: solved using ffdshow "Processor" and not "decoder"...

[xiringu]

Can anybody tell me the difference between these options?

Youtube->Select Source

1) Internal
2) File source (URL)

I've been using the default "internal" all the time, and I have a small problem when playing videos,opening a youtube URL.

I decided to try "file source (URL)" today and it seems that the problem is gone, but I don't know the difference between the two, and why "internal" is the default.

Thanks

Hey guys! I saw a discussion about Audio Switcher at page 111 and later, but still don't quite understand the situation with it...

My question is:
Given that I don't use any internal decoders/filters I also don't want to see Audio switcher in filter graph. How do I prevent it from appearing there?

[v0lt]

Audioswitcher will be always present in the player graph if there is an audio stream.

[xiringu]

A few posts ago, I asked about an option to autoload the next file in the folder, the same way playlists behave.

I've just realised that option is already in MPC-HC but not MPC-BE.

Could you bring

Playback->After playback->Play next file in the folder

from MPC-HC to MPC-BE, please?


Thanks

I see. I kinda knew this, but I guess it was a bit hard to believe.
Time to switch to PotPlayer again.

[xiringu]

v0lt:

Thanks, I finally found it on the menus at the top of the screen, but it took me a while.

I never use that menu and I didn't see it. I was expecting to find it on:

Right Mouse->Options->Playback

Thanks again

[v0lt]

I kinda knew this, but I guess it was a bit hard to believe.What's the problem?

[Keiyakusha]

What's the problem?

For me personally, the problem is that I don't want to be forced to use something I don't need. In this case - Audio Switcher. Having it always on is not acceptable even if with the correct configuration it does nothing.

Is it possible to add an option to stream ONLY audio from youtube and skip the video part?

There are cases when you want to save bandwith (or have problems with it), and others when you only want to listen to some music.

I think it could save bandwith and CPU when we really don't need the video at all.

Thanks

[xiringu]

Thanks.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that option doesn't process the video part on all videos (CPU saving, that's good), but in the case of youtube videos, mpc-be still downloads the whole thing (in my case 720p). What you say is good for local videos (that I can handle with an audio only player anyway), but I still have the problem of streams using too much bandwith.

I know I can change from 720p to 144p to save bandwith, but that makes me go change that option many times during the day.

I asked for that option, because I wonder if it could be feasible to download only an audio stream (to save also bandwith), and add this option as a checkbox on youtube settings and add a keyboard shortcut to it (Youtube audio only ON-OFF).


I explain my case with an example:

.-My youtube quality is set at 720p.
.-I don't usually have problems with my internet connection, but sometimes I do.
.-Many times, I stream a youtube video only as background music, so I don't really need the video part.

The thing is I'm streaming a full 720p video for a bit of audio that is only 5-10 MBs.

I think 480p and 1080p have 2 streams, 1 for video and 1 for audio. I've seen in foobar youtube addon that it can select only M4A audio files for streaming.

I wonder if we could be able to select only the audio one in mpc-be.

edit: I've just checked youtube-dl and what I mean is similar to doing "youtube-dl.exe -f 140", as it gets only audio and it's lightning fast.

Thanks

[xiringu]

I've tried mpc-be with an audio only stream (direct url extracted with youtube-dl), and it plays the m4a stream perfectly.

After thinking about it, I think the easiest way of doing this could be:

1) Add another format/quality in youtube settings: audio only
2) Add a keyboard shortcut to cycle through all the qualities in youtube settings.

Easy enough?

Now I only hope somebody agrees with me that this is something nice to have in mpc-be. :P

Thanks for reading anyway. :)

[v0lt]

We won't do special "audio only" mode for video files and video streams.

About YouTube.
Log example from youtube-dl.exe:
[info] Available formats for "some URL":
format code extension resolution note
140 m4a audio only DASH audio , audio@128k (worst)
160 mp4 144p DASH video , video only
133 mp4 240p DASH video , video only
134 mp4 360p DASH video , video only
135 mp4 480p DASH video , video only
136 mp4 720p DASH video , video only
137 mp4 1080p DASH video , video only
17 3gp 176x144
36 3gp 320x240
5 flv 400x240
43 webm 640x360
18 mp4 640x360
22 mp4 1280x720 (best)
MPC-BE does not support downloading DASH video and audio streams. So there will be a separate option.

[xiringu]

For a moment I thought that mpc-be was playing the DASH audio well anyway, but I've just realised that it only plays a few seconds and then stops.

Now I see that it is a bit more complicated than I expected. :)

Well, I guess I'll have to make myself a little script to combine youtube-dl and mpc-be...
