Thanks CoRoNe

I'm going to use this workaround for now. I was doing one extra step: downloading the audio file (a bit of waiting time) and feeding it to mpcbe. Yours is better. :)

btw, nice song. I have goose bumps listening to it. :)

mpc-be team, i don't want to be rude, but you can discontinue this project & merge this project with mpc-hc project to making the one of the best light-weight video player.

There's no way that's happening. Ever.

why............?

[filler56789]

why............?

Because MPC-BE is a "dissent" :) from MPC-HC.

FWIW, you'd better "study" some old threads, such as

I've had some problems trying to sync video+audio.

I have 2 videos of the same thing, from different sources. Their lenght is very different.

The thing is that I liked the video of the 1st, and the audio of the 2nd...

I opened the 1st video and load the audio from the 2nd as external audio (the second is not audio only, it is a full video). This is what happened:

1) Suddenly a second video window appeared on the screen. I was seeing both, the first video and the second at the same time, but the second window was different. Not from mpc-be.

2) I closed the second window and everything looked ok. I was watching the 1st video+2nd audio. So I started tweaking the delay (about 5 min).

3) Suddenly the video started going fast, no audio and mpc was totally irresponsive (still playing fast video) until I killed it.

4) After that, tried playing ONLY the first video again, and mpc-be gave me an error, and then I got both videos playing together. his time on the very same mpc-be window. Very weird. I fixed it, by renaming the second video and restarting mpc-be.

I know this is a "extreme" example, but I'd like to know how to sync video+audio with several minutes delay. Is it possible? or I have to find an external editing program to do it?


Thanks

[Aleksoid1978]

For use external audio - must open audio file, not full container with video & audio :)

MPC-BE 5465 (http://dev.mpc-next.ru/index.php/topic,2581.0.html)

[xiringu]

OK, 2 questions for you guys:

1)Is there any place I can check the revision changes ... in english? When I download the builds, all I can see is the info in russian, but I can't find it in english. Is there any?

2) This one is about youtube videos. I've been having a small issue with these videos since the beginning. I waited to see if it was fixed, but it's the same, so I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this.

What happens to me is that I can see some artifacts when starting a new video. At first, you could think it is a buffering problem, but I can see the buffering bar going far ahead of the playing bar and still have this artifacts on the video. I can fix the video by simply rewinding the video a few seconds and, like magic, the image is fixed, but pausing the video and waiting for it to buffer more doesn't fix it. Weird, right?

edit: I forget to mention another thing that happens sometimes. The video starts buffering and playing and suddenly de video stops (both video and sound), but playing and buffering bars keep moving like nothing's happened. Sometimes it fixes itself after a couple of seconds (with a bit of choppy video) and sometimes not.

As I said, both are similar to a buffering problem, but from what I can see the buffer is well right ahead and it shouldn't be a problem, so it could be that or the buffering indicator showing something wrong.

Anyone else?

Thanks

[xiringu]

One more thing... :)

If I load a playlist, mpc-be loads always the 1st movie on the list (at least, to me).

What I'd like is the possibility of continuing playing on the same movie I was when I stopped, when I reload a playlist.

I've seen an option to "Remember last playlist", but it's not that.

Is it possible to do this now? how?

It would be very nice to load a 50 chapter playlist and avoid looking for the last chapter you were watching (especially if your memory is as bad as mine).


Also, I've seen that playlists don't appear on:
File->Recent files

I don't know if other people could find it useful to add:
File->Recent playlists


Thanks

vsfilter.dll (standalone filter build 5440) Extend to 16:9 doesn't work, subtitles just staying in frame not in black zone at bottom, this with WMP 12 (video that i play have 2.40 Aspect ratio)

vsfilter.dll (standalone filter build 5440) Extend to 16:9 doesn't work, subtitles just staying in frame not in black zone at bottom, this with WMP 12 (video that i play have 2.40 Aspect ratio)

VSFilter can render subtitles only in video-frame.

[cyberbeing]

VSFilter can render subtitles only in video-frame.

The 'expand' settings in VSFilter are supposed to pad the video frame and move subtitles down into the padded area.

@somespirit
I just tested this with the r5465 build linked above, and it seems to be working just fine with WMP12 on Win7 + LAV Video. The setting requires you to re-open the video for it to be used though, maybe you forgot to do this?

[xiringu]

OK, another option that I often miss is the following:

Could it be possible to add another Video Frame Size? A fixed size, height and width?

There's a lot of video sizes right now to choose from, but many times they are too big or too small.

As an example, sometimes I watch low quality videos, that are too blocky to look nice on full screen, but if I put original size, they are too small, and double size, they are almost full screen for me. There's nothing in between and I get forced to zoom in and out to find the right size.

What I'd like is to be able to do things like this:

width=640px or
height=512px or
width=480px and height=396px

If not, what about 1.5 size? :)
Thanks

not working for me with r5465 also (i use video decoder from mpc-be standalone filters)

[cyberbeing]

Don't know what to say, since it's working with both LAV and the MPC-BE Video Decoder on my system. Are you sure that VSFilter is even being used?

Re-install VSFilter.dll with regsvr32
Open VSFilter settings and enable "Extend to 16:9"
Download GraphStudioNext
Drag & Drop your 21:9 Video
Is DirectVobSub(auto-loading version) present in the graph?
Double-click DirectVobSub and confirm "Extend to 16:9" is indeed enabled.
Press the Play/Start button, and a video window should appear.
This video window should be padded to 16:9 with black bars.

on second pic frame is extended to 16:9 but subs are in frame (it is the same at fullscreen) and on right side of frame there are 2 green bars dont know why some programers think they need always to round resolution to 16 maybe or sort of kind

[xiringu]

Is it possible (or will it be in the future) to individually change volume to L and R audio channels, and after that mix the result to mono/stereo?

I've had problems with a video with sound effects on L and voice on R. Sound effects were too loud, so I kindda fixed it balancing to the R.

I found it weird to listen to, so I decided to mix it to mono, but when I did, the sounds on L were again louder than the voice on R, and I couldn't stand it.

It would be nice to have individual volumes for each audio input channel (at least L-R), and be able to mix them with the new volumes, like I said before, to equalize between sound effects and voice for example.

This is the first time I have to do something with audio and neither mpc-be nor mpc-hc can do this. afaik.

Thanks

Looks correct to me: it always renders one line above the bottom, and in this case the bottom is small enough that it still renders in the film. If you had the option turned off, it would render much higher up the frame. Turn on "override placement" with a V of near-zero to force it into the black border.

The green is obviously a bug, though.

It would be nice to have individual volumes for each audio input channel (at least L-R), and be able to mix them with the new volumes, like I said before, to equalize between sound effects and voice for example.

Not sure if this will ever make it in, but in the meantime, you can use ffdshow's raw audio input and mixer to customize the volume of each channel.

[v0lt]

Is it possible (or will it be in the future) to individually change volume to L and R audio channels, and after that mix the result to mono/stereo?No. This is not planned.

[xiringu]

foxyshadis: thanks!

That's what I needed. I don't have any experience with filters at all, basically because until now I didn't need anything more than load a movie and press play/pause/stop...hehehe.

I've played with ffdshow for a couple of minutes and it seems to be doing the trick just fine. :)

[xiringu]

I've noticed that when you change brightness/contrast/etc (with the sliders, inside the menu) while the video is paused nothing happens, I have to play the video again to see the changes.

I've also noticed that I can change shaders while paused and see the effects.

Is there any reason for the different behaviour? Can it be changed?

Thanks

A couple of weeks ago, I played this youtube video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrNh8vnIXBc

and I added it to mpc-be Favorites.

Everything worked OK, and I played that video through favorites many times. I installed the new mpc-be version and when I tried to play it again, it didn't work.

I get "Cannot render the file" or "Failed to render the file" everytime.

I tried the video in firefox and it's working, and I'm trying the "Open file/URL" and I get the same message. I've even deleted the link from Favorites, just in case.

Other youtube videos are working so I don't really know what's going on.

anybody else experiencing something similar?

btw. organize favorites has no option for:

1.-editing path/url
2.-copy link to clipboard

and I really miss these options, although the 1st one would be enough.

thanks

More questions. :)

How does "Subtitle Database->Search..." works?

I've tried it a few times, but nothing happens.

And there's a thing about "Subtitle Database->Download" that's very annoying. Everytime I reload a movie, I have to find and download the subtitles again. Why aren't downloaded subtitles saved locally?

Also, as it happens to me sometimes, when I continue a movie, I'm offline, so I can't re-download subtitles.

I simply don't understand the logic behind this.

Thanks

When you download subtitle press CTRL + S to save subtitle. It will get the same name as movie. You will also get one more file, style which can save custom settings for that subtitle, like font settings, position ect.

Left: current situation.
Right: what it ought to be.
As you can see, the cuesheet parser wrongfully assumes track 3-22 to have the same performer as track 2.

But if I might make a suggestion... I'd much prefer the following instead:

http://www.ld-host.de/uploads/images/37e742e027f16463a7d5d1b76c5f0fb0.png

- The "Navigate - Jump To..."-menu only shows the track-title.
- The Information-bar shows the album-performer, unless a different track-performer is specified.
- An extra line is added to see the track-title currently being played.

Much better and more efficient if you ask me.

[xiringu]

thanks for the tip, about saving subtitles. :)

quite often I can't find options that are already there, because I'm looking at the wrong menu, and it's quite frustating.

A few days ago I was asking about an option to size the video frame to a fixed width and height.

I found today that there's something similar already, but not exactly what I needed.

We have Pan&Scan->Edit

and then we have 2 options: Position and Zoom


Is it possible to add a 3rd option: Size?

Can anyone explain to me the Performance options? I can't find anything useful about that.

I'm on a 1ghz laptop with an OK gpu, and I'd like to understand how to tweak those options (packets, size and cache).

I've read somewhere that low-end machines should have small queues and high-end, high queues. But I can't find more info.

Any help, please?

Thanks

In rev.5498 (http://svnlog.mpc-next.ru/comp.php?repname=MPC-BE+Team&compare[]=/trunk/@5497&compare[]=/trunk/@5498) I can see your intentions are good, but it doesn't change anything. The cuesheet parser still assumes PERFORMER "Sigur Rós" for track 3-22.

And what about my suggestion in post1695946? What do you think?

[subz3ro]

Please be so kind and make a hotkey setting which will toggle the 'Audio Time Shift' option (Playback\Audio). Let's say, if current state is CHECKED and you press hotkey, it will UNCHECK it (thus disabling audio delay setting), and vice versa. This would be of great help for some audio sync issue I'm encountering with my HTPC (and I hope for somebody else too), while I think it's not requiring that much effort for implementation. Thanks in advance! :)

[v0lt]

MPC-BE v1.4.3 -dev build 5524 (http://dev.mpc-next.ru/index.php/topic,2597.msg17358.html#msg17358)

[xiringu]

that last link points me to 5520, at least that's what it says on the filenames.




Also, I'd like to know if it is possible and theres's a chance of having this option:

.-Show a still image when you hover the mouse over the timeline, like it happens in many online players.


At the moment, mpc-be shows the time, but it would be great to also show a still image to know where you are. Many times, I have to click on the timeline a few times to find the point where I want to go, because I don't have any visual clue.


That would help a lot and also ON/OFF option in the menus.

Thanks

Yes, no, not at all, later? ;)

[v0lt]

@subz3ro
'Audio Time Shift' is adjusted if necessary once, and does not change. Option can be set from the settings window. I see no reason for her to do keyboard shortcuts.
This option for the correction of hardware delays, not to fix broken files.

[subz3ro]

@v0lt: But this is not due to broken files. It is because when you are using a HTPC equipment, connected via HDMI to TV and via SPDIF/TosLink to external receiver, there sometimes happens that the A/V sync is not ok (file is ok, because on PC the sync is correct). I assume this is due to different framrate of the video files (I'm having both 23.976 and 25.000), or maybe under some other circumstances. The point is, I can only put one specific audio delay in MPC, it's the one I measured to be -120ms. But this is only valid for the video files which do have A/V sync problem. So if I have it enabled, and I play files which are without sync problem, the sound is playing too early, and I must manually navigate through menu in MPC and disable this option, or I have to 12 times press a hotkey to increase the value to 0, which - sorry to be honest - sucks :) With this hotkey which would alter this option On/Off it will be very easy, as it's only one key press which can be also assigned to a Remote Control or something. Is it really that much effort to implement it? I would do it on my own, but don't have the time to study the code.

[xiringu]

I can't find an option to update automatically.

Is it possible to add this option?

Maybe have 2 different choices:

1.- Update to betas
2.- Update only to final versions.

Thanks

[v0lt]

@xiringu
For now it makes no sense.

[ryrynz]

1.4.4 soon?

[xiringu]

@v0lt:

it makes sense to me (not the final versions option, though). :)

everyday I check if there's a new revision.

if there is, I download it and start using it immediately...so it makes sense to me to have automatic updates.

thanks anyway :)
