Media Player Classic - BE Win32/x64

[Aleksoid1978]

Damn geo-block! :(
When I download the ts-segments and playlists from KN_1661889.m3u8 to my harddrive, the 'manifest-playlist' is succesfully parsed. So I don't know why the online version isn't parsed.


Online and offline parser is some different :)

I have problems forward skipping this video (and all others from the same guy):

http://cloudyvideos.com/gg6rrbiimcwn

Everytime I skip forward, audio plays inmediately but it takes 2+ seconds for the video to refresh. Sometimes, not always, it even takes 5-6 seconds.

Video plays well, if I don't skip.

As I said before, I'm on a 1 ghz cpu but, at the moment, these are the only files that I have problems with. I don't know if it's my hardware, the video file or mpc-be.

Thanks

I thinks it's hardware issue.
But - when i download i test on my I7@2.8 :)

Thanks for this media player. I've been using it for some time now. It works out really good for me. I have couple of requests:

1) Can you implement don't encode stereo sources in the
Internal Filters>Audio Decoders>Properties>Encode to AC-3

2) Also, don't mix stereo sources in the
Audio>Mix channels to

Thanks!

1 - Encode to AC-3 - made to encode any audio in AC-3 for SPDIF Out to any external device. Stereo sound is also able to pass SPDIF Out, so it is not necessary to encode.
2 - i don't see this options.

[cruzer]

Thanks for the quick reply.
1) So, stereo sources pass through without encoding to AC-3?
2) I mean can you add an option not to mix stereo sources (only mix multi channel sources)

[Aleksoid1978]

Thanks for the quick reply.

Sorry - i mistake. Where is no this options.

He's for feature requests.

1) Audio settings -> convert to AC3
(add option to ignore 2.0 stereo)

2) Sound processing -> Mix channels to:
(add option to ignore 2.0 stereo)

[xiringu]

Can anybody explain to me the differences/advantages of the new "Perlin smoothstep"?

Quality and hardware use.

I've tried it and I don't see any difference, and CPU usage seems the same to me.

Thanks

[v0lt]

1) Audio settings -> convert to AC3
(add option to ignore 2.0 stereo)
It will be without optional.

2) Sound processing -> Mix channels to:
(add option to ignore 2.0 stereo)
How many channels selected in the option "Mix channels to"?

[cruzer]

Let me make things clear. As ryrynz mentioned 2 posts above, that's what I need. As of now, if I enable Encode to AC-3, MPC-BE will encode any 2 channel sources to AC-3 ("Pass-through" SPDIF is enable for AC-3, DTS etc. for those respective formats). I would like MPC-BE to add an option to pass through 2 channel sources as is, without encoding to AC-3.

The reason is that, my old receiver can't process multi channel AAC audio, so I use MPC-BE to encode multi channel AAC to AC-3. Two channel sources not need to encode to AC-3 (Dolby digital 2.0). This way, we can preserve the original 2 channel sound (untouched).

In the Sound processing -> Mix channels to, add an option to skip mixing of 2 channel sound sources. This way, only multi channel audio is mixed in to stereo and 2 channel sound is played untouched. The reason is that when I play videos on my laptop I like to mix multi channel audio in to 2 channel stereo (I use headphones). So that, original 2 channel audio don't have to be remixed.

I hope things are clear now. Thanks guys!

If you source is stereo and you select in Mixer -> Stereo - source stay is untouched and not will be mixed.

Ok, that's good and thank you for the clarification. How about the encode to AC-3 part?

[v0lt]

Ok, that's good and thank you for the clarification. How about the encode to AC-3 part?I repeat, mono and stereo will not encoded in AC3. This will be without any options.

MPC-BE v1.4.3 -dev build 5617 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/files/MPC-BE/Nightly%20Builds%20%28from%20svn%20trunk%29/MPC-BE%20v1.4.3%20-dev%20build%205617/)

[cruzer]

I repeat, mono and stereo will not encoded in AC3. This will be without any options.

Thanks v0lt for the reply. However, when I enable encode to AC-3, stereo sources get encode to AC-3 (Dolby digital 2.0). My receiver recognizes it as AC-3, 2.0. If I disable encode to AC-3, the receiver recognizes the stream as PCM stereo. This is the reason why I requested an option to just pass through stereo sources as is while encode to AC-3 is enabled. Thanks.

[Aleksoid1978]

You are mistake :) - encode.

[xiringu]

I tried today to select some different shaders, and my list is empty. The shader folder seems ok.

I haven't touched anything for weeks, so I don't know when this happened.

Is it only me without a drop-down list of shaders? (using 5617 x64.7z)

[cruzer]

Do you use MPC-BE 5617?

I have tested out the v.5617 and it works as I intended. Thanks! :thanks:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothstep

link gives K:helpful:en Perlin's version or changes to AMD's Smoothstep- which you probably already know

I do not know how this might change actual perceptions though.

I saw that already, but it's not a big help for me. :)

I've tried them in a bigger screen, and now I can see the differences (for example on faces edges).

Subtitle problem when played windowed in 5617.
When stretching BE window, aspect ratio of subtitle varied based on the window size, which is not expected.
Text subtitles are fine.

Check this settings.

[kissglay]

Check this settings.
http://i.imgur.com/b55hKcQ.png
With this option checked, the aspect ratio of subtitle is locked at a wrong one(condensed vertically), even at full screen. Without checking this, at least ratio is correct under full screen.
BTW, I think this option is for the position of the subtitle rather than the AR of subtitles which shouldn't be changed in most scenarios.

All be ok with subtitles. See here:

It's PGS(BD) subtitles.

P.S. If uncheck - subtitles render proportionally to player window. So all right.

So, now I reset all the settings, with PGS subs.

Unchecked:

Checked(the subtitle is actually quite condensed vertically, which is abnormal) :

----------------------------------------
So, if unchecked, not only the position but also the aspect ratio of the subtitle is relevant to the windows aspect ratio. Is it intended? Shouldn't only the position be relative to the windows AR, but not the AR of subtitles?
And following is the rendering of MPC-HC and the AR of the subtitle is correct.

For me if checked all be fine, subtitles render correctly.

P.S. Can you make a short sample with subtitles(use MKVToolnix) and upload, i look.

Is it possible to add a "vibrance" shader into the default shaders that come with mpc-be?

I tried using vibrance from my ATI drivers, and it turns out it doesn't work well on my hardware (video gets choppy), but I've tried shaders and they work well.

Could you add vibrance to the pack, please?

Thanks

[xiringu]

Is it possible, in any way, to display 2 different subtitles at once?

I use TV & movies to learn languages, and I use subtitles a lot, but I wonder if I could have 2 different languages on screen at once. Something like french at the bottom and english at the top.

Any ideas how this could be done?

An alternative could be ok,too. I thought of having 2 different players, simultaneously, but I can't keep sync of both when I want to rewind or go forward, and I do that a lot.

edit: I've just realised that I could open one of the languages in notepad and display it, side by side, with mpc. That could work. :)

Thanks

[jmartinr]

Yes you can show two subtitles at once.
One subtitle through ffdshow and one through MPC-BE subtitle renderer or vsfilter.

[xiringu]

@jmartinr: thanks

I also found another subtitle format that I didn't know before, that does exactly that (.ass)

http://spanish.amandajw.com/2012/11/multiple-subtitles/

I tried it with mpc-be and it works. :)

[Aleksoid1978]

ok then. Thx
BTW, this test version is made for only showing PGS, so it can't show SRT and other subtitles, right?

Hi,
Do you think it could be possible to add 3D auto switching, like a hardware player can do (for example Popcorn C200) ?
When player detects 3D flag from MKV or .3DSBS. or other into filename, it uses framepacking to auto switch TV to 3D.
Thanks !

I can't change subtitle styles to a movie.

Subtitles are in .sup format (17mb!!!), and I wanted to change size and color, but I can't.
I tried everything I could think of, but nothing changes.

Any ideas?

[wanezhiling]

.sup is one of image subtitles which are impossible to be resized.

[73ChargerFan]

Download a srt subtitle (text format) or convert the sup to srt. I've converted in the past, but found other obsessive people had already done a good job of it.
