Thanks.
Fixed in r2073.

PS: I think the problem is incorrect work of swr_set_matrix() if the SwrContext was never initialized.
I created the ticket #5897 (https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/5897).

Tried the latest stable and nightly (MPC-BE.1.5.0.2065.x64) builds too with or without madVR, but x265/HEVC DXVA doesn't want to work with the internal video decoders, i get funny green and only green image/video on my RX480.

Software decoder is working fine, LAV Video Decoder's DXVA also working fine with HEVC.

Using the lastest 16.10.1 WHQL driver on Win10.

[Aleksoid1978]

Developers don't have RX4xx video adapters and can't test.

[olymind1]

What is the crossover frequency for "Redirect Bass to LFE"?

Is it working similarly like or the same as AC3filter's redirection, ffdshow audio decoder's LFE crossover and foobar2000's Channel Mixer?

Can I have a request for you? I hope I won't offend any of the devs here by asking this :) :
can you make the key IDs (under Player -> Keys) identical to what MPC-HC has for the following keys (if you don't use the current one anywhere):
- "Subtitle Delay -" from 1010 to 24000
- "Subtitle Delay +" from 1011 to 24001
- "After Playback settings" (some IDs are there but for the wrong command)

The reason behind this, as I mentioned here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1782389#post1782389), I use a remote app for Android (that I had painfully modded for MPC-HC around a year ago). The rest of the features of that app is working fine with MPC-BE as well. (If you don't know it, give it a try!)

Thanks for considering this!

Only 2 After playback entries aren't good:
- "Do nothing" : from 918 to 948
- "Play next file in the folder" : from 1078 to 947

Thank You, guys! Now it's perfect.

There's 1 more thing, but feel free to say no to this (since I don't use this feature, for now): there's an another option in MPC-HC called "After Playback: Turn off the monitor" that has the ID of 918.

Thanks for your amazing support!

[v0lt]

Done in r2093.

I doubt about the "After Playback: Turn off the monitor". I find it hard to understand why it is needed. Random movement of the mouse and the monitor works again.

Thanks! It's working fine with b2100.

Well, it can be useful with a remote (like the mentioned app). Even, when it's combined with Exit -> Turn off the monitor.
But as I mentioned above, it's not an important feature for me, it's just about for the sake of completeness. :)

I do not need all the text, only the first line.

Try this build - https://yadi.sk/d/NXflnnp8xiuwv

But I do not recommend using third-party TimeStretch filters. Better use of MPC Audio Renderer or other other audiorenderer with such a function.

hy there,

thanks for the test version..
sadly, i cant try it right now, i am at work, but i will as soonest i get back..

Hello,

First i just want to start by saying thank you for this program,
then i would like to make a request if possible:

- Will it be possible to add a way to save custom presets, a bit like Minimal, Compact and Normal that we could save as preset and also be able to assign a keybind to them please ?

For let's say save the display like compact mode but with the playlist and statistics displayed or whatever display options we want to have saved as presets, so we can switch between them easily using keybinds, like we do now with 1,2,3 default keybinds for presets.

- And also have a startup command line for using the presets, like mpc-be.exe /preset compact or /preset mini, /preset normal for the existing default ones, and mpc-be.exe /preset custom1 ( or custom2, custom3 etc ) , for the manually saved ones please ?

Thanks in advance and have a nice day.

I need the help of professionals.
I need a working example project in VS2015, which is from the first texture (from BMP file) to fill the second texture using the shader.

The conditions of the problem:
1. The size of the textures can be different.
2. Examples of useful shader - resizer_mitchell4.hlsl (https://sourceforge.net/p/mpcbe/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/src/Shaders/OnePassResizers/resizer_mitchell4.hlsl).
3. The most important requirement. Shaders need to debug.

Hi!

Can anyone tell me whether I can set MPC-BE to be portable? Or at least have it store the settings within it's folder.

Hi!

I use the zipped version, not the installer one and have the setting in the program folder in a .ini file using this option :

more than 100+ video i cant change them all so i went to play it them like this i prefer MPC-BE no love it so please can add it as filter or some option

[BetA13]

i think you can do this by using a shader.
not shure where i saw this one, but i will check my bookmarks..

ok, i got it..
wasnt a shader, haha.

Its allready an option in the player. you just have to assign a key to it.
i made a screenshot, so its easier to follow..

there, under "Keys" you can assign a key of your choice to that option, marked in the picture..

and voila, your video is mirrored/H Flipped..

I don't believe it to be distorted the player window and a menu.

[robl45]

I made a ticket about this with the P+S feature where I need to increase the height on my 3D videos since madvr will not crop the black bars. Since there is no direct button to scale to 16:9 I have been using the P+S increase height command. On the computer now I can hit the number key assigned to it and rapidly increase the height to where I want it. But when trying with remote it only increases one time, then I have to hit another key like pause, then hit command to increase height again. It also seems to need some time between command button and after hitting pause before it will work again. Its taking like 5 minutes to increase the movie to the full height of the screen. Anyone know what is causing this and what I can do to make it simple? Its the only issue I have with my system at this point.

[amayra]

I don't believe it to be distorted the player window and a menu.

nope this just example not my old video
bythewaythis option is available in kmplayer and vlc and i went in mpc-be
ps: i think i can use it with ffdshow but is outdated and i like LAV

[v0lt]

I repeat, we will not distort the player interface.
If needed mirror your video frame, then the solution has been shown several times.

[Nothingness]

I had issues with my sound, I was not sure if it was my headset or not (it was) so I played with the options and I don't remember the default options anymore for the options at Video (video renderer and the others below). I use subtitles a lot because English is not my mother language so subs helps. I also watch animes with Japanese audio and English or French subs too. Right now:

- there is no sub

- MP4 videos have no videos just audio, same with WMV, FLV, MKV, AVI.

Also, you should stop demanding hard core questions, which was the case when I registered which was hell, had to retry a few times. And it's the same just to reply so I can get some support for my issues which is really frustrating and enough to make anyone bolts. All I do with the application is watch tv episodes, movies and animes, I don't know anything about anything else.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

P.S. I will not answer because your forums make things TOO hard to reply!!!

When serious problems with some strange reason, the solution is simple:

If you enabled the autochange fullscreen monitor mode
Ctrl+enter: Change the resolution according to the rules of that mode.
Alt+Enter: ignore the autochange fullscreen monitor mode, keep the original resolution before you enter fullscreen

First sorry for my bad english :sly:

Feature request: Would be possible to add 'Delete file from Hard Disk' option in right button menu in playlist?

I like MPC-BE very much and I use for review a lot of videos every day, this feature would be really useful for me and I think also for others.

Thanks for your hard work in this awesome player!! :thanks:

Feature request: Would be possible to add 'Delete file from Hard Disk' option in right button menu in playlist?
Not planned. The player should not change or delete user files.
There are many other ways to delete a file in Windows.

Is line 1461 and 1464 still correct? I changed it because the "k" of "kB" should be small.

[aufkrawall]

Build 2199 doesn't use internal splitter for YouTube. Instead it uses external LAV splitter source, even though I blacklisted it.
And it still doesn't play YT 4k 60fps video without stalls/drops since it doesn't buffer enough.

I forgot to translate a word in last one.
Here (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4y5u0gBKYqbUHk0T3A0ellIa28?usp=sharing) is the new one for the new stable version :)
AND: Can you please make this (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4y5u0gBKYqbU0NHMTBRR2ZCQkk/view?usp=sharing) window a bit bigger, so the text is displayed in one line?

It is difficult to adapt to each translation. There is little space to the edge of the window, but not much.
In this window, you can make a line break by using the "\n". It will be safer for every style and scale.

OK, I thought about that already but there is no part which makes sense to cut. So I deleted a word.

Here (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4y5u0gBKYqbUHk0T3A0ellIa28?usp=sharing) is the updated file.

Update of language file for Chinese Traditional/Simplified and Dutch

@Klaus1189
Thanks. Updated in r2207.

@beter
Thanks. Updated in r2209.

[Ditto666]

With the previous update, switching the subtitles through the interface doesn't work.

Also, I somehow accidentally changed the the seekbar to show the time left rather than the time I'm at. How do I change this back? Thanks!

[v0lt]

With the previous update, switching the subtitles through the interface doesn't work.
You use internal subtitle renderer, VSFilter, xy-VSFilter or xySubFilter?

[Aleksoid1978]

Thanks - fixed.

MPC-BE 1.5.0 (build 2235) stable (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/files/MPC-BE/Release%20builds/1.5.0/)
I might have missed it in an earlier build, but I was very pleased to find a "Sync video to audio" option in the Audio Renderer. It's great to have this capability in a 64-bit player (finally).

Thank you MPC-BE devs (and I assume the Sanear devs, too).

[huhn]

this option isn't new and i'm pretty sure it isn't doing what you think...

Is it something like ReClock?

[v0lt]

Is it something like ReClock?
No.
IMHO, the option has the wrong description, but maybe I'm wrong. It would be better if Aleksoid1978 will explain how it works, he is the author of this feature.

[jkauff]

My reading of the github commits indicated that Alex Marsev (Sanear author) added re-clock functionality to Sanear, but later suspended development because it wasn't working right. I thought maybe someone (possibly Aleksoid1978) picked up the effort and got it working.

We'll have to wait to hear from him.

[Ditto666]

You use internal subtitle renderer, VSFilter, xy-VSFilter or xySubFilter?
I use xySubFilter. Another problem I actually have with MPC-BE in particular is that I can't find any way to not get subtitles to be shown by default. The option to not play whatever subtitles by default doesn't work in the filter. With MPC-HC, it works just fine. Here, it even overrides the internal marker in whatever MKV files even if it's set to none by default.

Thanks - fixed.
Awesome! Great, I checked and indeed it is fixed. I'm surprised nobody else pointed this out. I didn't bother at first cause I thought it was likely just me since it would otherwise be such an apparent issue to have otherwise noticed.

click on time to toggle
I've tried this, but it obviously doesn't work. It just moves the time position on the seekbar there and seeks the movie there. Am I missing something and you actually mean something else? XD

Oh man, that would be absolutely FANTASTIC! I honestly prefer Sanear in terms of its interfacing options and how it otherwise works, but it really is missing re-clock functionality.

[v0lt]

This option does not replace ReClock.

[Ditto666]

I've tried this, but it obviously doesn't work. It just moves the time position on the seekbar there and seeks the movie there. Am I missing something and you actually mean something else? XD

Ok, actually, I figured it out. I didn't actually have the Status Bar turned on cause I find it kind of pointless, the time being displayed in the seekbar instead. Through the Status Bar, simply clicking on it indeed changes it back to how it was. Not sure how it changed in the first place.

In any case, I do have a feature request though. Would it be possible to perhaps implement a "Precision Mode" to give a more fine representation of the time, like it's available in MPC-HC if you right-click on it? That would be nice to have. Thanks!

PS- To be able to disable subtitles by default and implementing a simpler decoding chain would be nice though. Even though the interface is overall more pleasant and accessible, those things are honestly what's preventing me from recommending MPC-BE over HC to people :/. I can take some screenshots for comparison to better show what I mean if a dev would be willing to take on improving some of these drawbacks. Couldn't really explain why it's not working tbh though (as would be the purpose of the screenshots.

[JarrettH]

Does BE work similar to MPC-HC?

Can I access madvr and lav settings with a right click? Are there any big departures or things to get used to coming from MPC-HC? UI changes?

Looks like MPC-HC development has stalled, and I'm not interested in following nightlies.

Is it possible to change the playback rate to 0.96x without pitch correction? (Or in other words PAL speed down)

It will be handy when I can't install Reclock on a public computer.

[v0lt]

No.
Even if such a factor could be specified, I think the result would be unsatisfactory.
Better use of specialized tools.

[huhn]

well a reclock feature still sounds like a useful option.

[Ditto666]

No.

[d3xMachina]

I'm having issues with seeking on an already loaded part of a youtube videos with MPC-BE, it makes my player freeze (can't do anything) until the video gets fully loaded (unless it's a very small seek). I use the latest nightly build (2254)

Also wouldn't it be possible to load the video from where you seek instead of seeking from the start only ?

[Aleksoid1978]

MPC-BE with internal filters when opened youtube - don't loading video, just playback directly from http/https. Seeking also working.
Show filters list when playback youtube link - Right Mouse Click -> Filters.

[d3xMachina]

I did some testing. I have to enable the internal source filters for mp4 or webm to make the seeking work, it bugs when I don't use those (I use external lav filters).

BTW shouldn't the internal filters be in some dlls in a folder like MPC-HC instead of being in the exe ?

[v0lt]

@d3xMachina
I can advise to disable "Use the built-in web page parser" option, and use 3DYD Youtube Source (http://ys.3dyd.com/home/).

[Aleksoid1978]

If bug with LAV - write author.

[d3xMachina]

@d3xMachina
I can advise to disable "Use the built-in web page parser" option, and use 3DYD Youtube Source (http://ys.3dyd.com/home/).

Thank you! This filter works great, it even support all kind of subtitles and DASH. I also use the firefox plugin "External Application Button 2" to launch embedded videos from the browser to the player.

To make it perfect, it would be great if the subtitles selection from lav splitter worked with it (I think it doesn't because subtitles are separate from the video) and if the image preview from MPC-BE when you hover the seek bar worked with it also. It would be the icing on the cake. Well I'm pretty happy so far :)

[EasyStart]

I have switched from MPC-HC x64 to MPC-BE x64 a week ago but I have a problem.

How can you output Y410 10 bit 444 from madVR ? No matter what I do, MPC-BE always output NV12 420 8 bits.

I have tried latest release build and latest nightly build. No luck.

My source video file is h264, 8 bit, 4:2:0. I go into the same setting screen after I am playing my video on my 5th Gen NUC, the red rectangle shows nothing. I am using DXVA2 in madVR to render the video. Tried to use your same settings, not working for me.

Thank you Aleksoid1978 for your tip. I worked it out. Have to disable DXVA2 filters to output 10 bit 444.

@v0lt

about numer 1
mpc-be has "auto fit" but i need "auto fit(larger only).why?
cause my monitor resolution is 1366x768 and i have a bunch of 1080p videos.
so when i play them in windowed mode it's like they are fullscreen and i can't use my other programs easily
(yes i play my videos in windowed mode and just when i want watch a movie i use fullscreen)

about number 2
as huhn said i use headphone most of the time.
but it's your decision to add this features or not.thanks anyway :)

[v0lt]

cause my monitor resolution is 1366x768 and i have a bunch of 1080p videos."Auto fit" mode will solve your problems.

as huhn said i use headphone most of the time.I have never used such a mode specifically and my ears feel good.
Perhaps it is a very rare recording for which it is really necessary, but I is not seen.

[huhn]

I have never used such a mode specifically and my ears feel good.
Perhaps it is a very rare recording for which it is really necessary, but I is not seen.

it is the opposite a headphone crossfeed is made for normal source not for rare recording.

for proper direction detection it is needed to a hear the "same" audio on both ears and this is not possible with headphones.

it is not 100% needed but it helps a lot and stops at least a little bit the effect that the audio is coming from the inside of the head.

a proper HRTF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-related_transfer_function that directly works with the surround sound source sound like THE real deal to me!

something like dolby headphones or DTX headphone X11.1 or the new dolby atmos headphone.

edit: like this: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#sofalizer

[tatey]

"Auto fit" mode will solve your problems.


no it can't help me cause it affects SD videos too.
i set "auto fit 80%" and it should'nt affect SD videos but look at this picture. (https://i.imgsafe.org/d4265c460a.png)
it's an SD video(854x480)that upscaled to 1092x614.
if i set "auto fit(larger only)" in mpc-hc it just affect HD videos.

I have never used such a mode specifically and my ears feel good.

I've noticed an issue with MPC-BE's internal audio renderer ("MPC Audio Renderer"). I use it to output audio using WASAPI Exclusive mode (as seen in the picture below). When playing back a video with 5.1 channel soundtrack, I get no sound in the rear channel (rear speakers are silent). Front channels and center/subwoofer channels play sound as expected. The same issue does not appear with MPC-HC.

https://i.imgsafe.org/7e71ca49fe.png

In the Realtek control panel, I have set channel configuration to 5.1 (although this setting shouldn't matter in Exclusive mode), and all speakers are mapped correctly. I haven't enable any sort of mixing anywhere. This is what the "Status" tab of MPC Audio Renderer looks like during the playback:

And what's the best resizer? Why doesn't DXVA2 resizer work with Nvidia? what method does Nvidia use in EVR mode?
And anyway to enable this option in EVR mode? it's very useful for SD 4:3 videos :(

[CruNcher]

If you want to have comparable results like on Intels GPU use Lanczos4 the overhead should be handable for most Discrete GPUs upto 4K with ease

Nvidia still should use a very simple filter nothing really more complex then Bilinear/Bicubic.

If i want to use Lav Splitter, i have to untick everything in Source Filters, Video Decoders and Audio Decoders, right? And in External Filters i have to use Lav Audio Decoder, Lav Splitter, Lav Splitter Source and Lav Video Decoder?

[johnniedoo]

I HAVE BEEN USING MPC-BE FOR YEARS but since ver2235 I have not been able to get any changes to hold. I can not use madvr, the x64 or the x86 , neither one will allow any changes. they have defaulted to the enhanced renderer , yet prior to the update I had mad vr as default. i am not able to remove external filters or add any either. I have tried to re register mad vr and ffdshows without success
I have windows 10 x64 professional. I am at a loss at why
I do not have the settings locked, i tried to make changes and then lock them , no luck. they go back to where they were . there are some of the external filters in place that i had there for ages, though. not as if they defaulted to the 'out of the box' original settings either, just cant change from where they are now. i do not know what to check and do not want to just remove everything and start all over either
only other player I use is pot player (duan) i got last year but up till lately there were no issues among them. i have MPC-BE associated with most codecs too.
edit:
I may be dealing with another Windows 10 new change in that I must need to open up MPC-BE as administrator. It is a completely new issue for me since no other app forces me to open as adm to do anything that i know of. I use madVR all the time and change it without opening as adm. I will look into just giving adm rights to these players too. (I am the only person who uses anything in this computer and am admin as well as turning off user account nags )

[v0lt]

@johnniedoo
Player settings are changed with the development. We are sorry, but it was necessary.
Of the latter, we have changed the configuration file and DVD positions and all video renderer settings.

I do not know why you do not change the settings without administrative rights. It is very strange.
I advise you to store settings in the registry (not the player folder) and use the latest version 1.5.1.

This is what I thought, but was wrong. I just checked off the 'run as admin' box in the properties and all is ok now.
I did not opt for windows 10, i was ambushed and the windows .old folder was deleted after 8 days rather than the 30days promised so I kept wind10 rather than the hassle of another clean install of windows 7, which is available at any time still.
I never encountered any adm issue since i do not use the user account settings,set to none. I am not very familiar with all of the win10 changes yet either. i had my .ini settings saved as i do back up all the time or use profiles for different types of audio or video uses.
I am the only user, just me as administrator and the standard administrator account are all that exist in this, public too i guess. but i never even opened it yet.
thanks
I believe i have gotten things straight.
I love both MPC-BE 32/64, at one time I had to use the 32 for madVr now, i tend to stay with the 64bit one but cant uninstall the other one out of loyalty or something :)

Is there a way to watch netflix on mpc-be? I read about people doing this with kody or something called playon...
I tried with kody but never worked... does someone know a real way to this? I really want to use madVR with netflix

@P.J
Why not use EVR CP?

no proper DXVA scaling on none intel cards.

[CruNcher]

In which specific case, this should happen ?

GTX 970 (GM204)

EVR-CP DXVA2 Downscaling

MadVR DXVA2 Downscaling

There is some difference in the chroma result indeed but it wouldn't indicate DXVA2 on EVR-CP is failing also compared in the GPU Usage overall it doesn't seem the case only that there is some visible zoom difference in the blur perception, wherever that is coming from exactly.

In this specific case MadVR has a overall slightly higher Sharpness Perception result.

[huhn]

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1793743#post1793743

downscaling is most likely bilinear or something similar on all 3.

[CruNcher]

Yes the blurrier result seems to indicate a less sharp kernel but where this is coming from exactly in the processing and final output needs to be looked further into, overhead difference included i personaly would indeed prefer overall the MadVR Result on these pretty basic generic setup of it instead of the EVR-CP DXVA2 result for Playback of especially higher quantized input.

[huhn]

there is no need to test if the developer said it isn't implemented.

[CruNcher]

Uh damit i had MadVR Debanding on Low so those results are rather partly flawed though the Debanding overall should have everything but a sharpening effect on downscaling ;)

So yeah no interpolation though FSW/E the difference at Native res content is obviously non existent.

[v0lt]

On the Intel card works DXVA2 interpolation for RGB surfaces.

Nvidia uses DXVA2 interpolation for NV12, YV12 and YUY2 surfaces only. EVR-CP can not use these surface for additional processing.

[Siso]

Is it possible to implement Crop function like - Crop to 2.35:1 or 2.39:1 or 2.40:1?

[P.J]

He wants it working in EVR, it doesn't do anything ATM.

@P.J

Right, plus EVR is suitable for weak iGPU.

it's not like DXVA scaling is really worth it.

I'd like to switch from MPC HC to MPC BE for various reasons but often I click the image to pause it and the player thinks I'm trying to drag the window, so it doesn't pause, wich is incredibly annoying and happens to me all the time. Is there a way to revert this vehaviour to the way HC does it? Otherwise please consider this a feature request.

Thanks so much!

[huhn]

you can drag the window on mpc hc with the left mouse too. they work the same.

[Klementh]

you can drag the window on mpc hc with the left mouse too. they work the same.

But you can configure HC to not do it by changing the pause mouse button to "Left Down". -I just checked- Been using HC for so long like this, that I thought this was the default behaviour.

Anyway In BE the default is already "Left Down" and changing it doesn't solve my issue.

I can't bear it. :o

Edit: Oh, and in fact it's always "Left Up" in BE, no matter how it's set. And if you set it to "Left Up" for the full screen mouse button, then clicking does nothing in full screen, so the key is definitely bugged.

Upgraded my video driver on intel 530. Now mpc audio renderer won't work. Direct sound will. Reclock Will which I'm using now to bitstream but mpc audio has been working for months.any ideas?

[sneaker_ger]

In the mpc audio renderer properties which output device is selected? Maybe something went wrong with the Intel HDMI audio drivers.

I tried with primary sound and my hdmi receiver. No sound out of mpc renderer. Directsound renderer worked but had a lot of glitches and such. Reclock renderer is working perfectly, but I'd like to get back to mpc renderer as I don't need more programs to go wrong.

Looks like bug in sound driver, try cleanup and reinstall.

A couple of questions...

Please forgive me as I haven't read all 105 pages.

Why isn't RARFileSource integrated into MPC-BE like it is on MPC-HC? As it stands now this doesn't really work properly on MPC-BE using external LAV Filters. If you set RARFileSource to "prefer" then it works fine on rar files. But, if you play a non-rar file then the video will not play at all, it's blocked by RARFileSource because it's not a rar file. Is there any workaround to this problem besides going into the settings and enabling/disabling RARFileSource before every time you want to play a file?

Any way to change the playback time on the OSD from descending to ascending like MPC-HC?

Edit: Never mind on the 1st question. I got it to work on both rar and non-rar by changing the merit around a bit. Still curious why it's not integrated into the default build of MPC-BE though. Pretty much every player (MPC-HC, Kodi, VLC, ect) can play rar files out of the box.

[robl45]

still really really hoping for a scale to 16:9 remote mapping.

Never associate archive files with the media player, picture viewer, or other similar program. Open files via the menu, or use drag-and-drop.

View->Options->Keys->Next AR Preset :p
And you can delete unnecessary presets.

[robl45]

View->Options->Keys->Next AR Preset :p
And you can delete unnecessary presets.

I just tried that, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be doing anything toggling through the presets. For instance, watching a normal movie, if I use view pan and scan, scale to 16:9 tv, it will throw the heads of the people half way off the screen which it should do because normally you would only be using it with 2.35:1 content. When I use the Next AR Preset, I'm watching it switch between the different presets but that 16:9 movie isn't actually stretching.

The workaround is using p&S increase height which does have a key map but I have to push it 14 times on my remote and I've tried to setup a macro but it usually doesn't end up working correctly on the remote.

@v0lt, are you a developer of Media Player Classic - BE? If you could check out the pause bug that affects me I would really appreciate it.

Also anyone else, please confirm the bug I reported that makes it impossible to configure MPC BE to pause the video while pressing down the mouse on the video image -as opposed to releasing it-.
It's a bug on Options -> Player -> Keys -> Play/Pause. The 2 mouse columns don't do what they are supposed to do when "Left Down" is selected. It does not happen on MPC HC.

I can confirm the bug is intermittent. Sometimes, but not always, when clicking on video during playback, it does not pause as expected. Restarting the player can fix it. Only tested on Windows 10.

So you guys get the pause when pressing down, or when releasing the button? If the setting is 'Left Down' (default) it should be the former.

[Aleksoid1978]

For me by default work pause on left mouse click is perfect. If press left button and move - not paused but moving window.

[Klementh]

Aleksoid1978, the default is 'Left Down' which means the video should pause before you have a chance to drag. No matter what setting you use here: -Left Down or Left Up-

http://i.imgur.com/nwLoQlO.png

It won't ever pause while the mouse is still down (unlike MPC HC). And that's a problem because a very minimum accidental drag of the mouse while clicking, will cause MPC BE to "think" you're trying to drag the window, failing to pause/unpause the video.

It's not about which setting is better, I'm reporting a bug that prevents freedom of choice, and I think/hope it's fairly easy to fix by copying the original code.

[CruNcher]

I can confirm the bug is intermittent. Sometimes, but not always, when clicking on video during playback, it does not pause as expected. Restarting the player can fix it. Only tested on Windows 10.

I also experienced something similar but only if the CPU is under full load (by the Decoder mostly) and all cores get used it can take some time before it accepts the pause call (latency before the mouse input pause message reaction can be some seconds in that high full core CPU Utilization case) at all happens especially in combination with MadVRs queue but im pretty sure it is a overall priority thread issue of who wins when the CPU is around the 90% edge and interrupts high.
Giving MPC-BE the higher priority overall seems no good solution at all, it causes a lot of problems above normal with external multithreaded filters especially.

[Pat78]

With the latest 1.5.1 (build 2332) beta I still get the "file not found" error on many Youtube videos. Why does this happen?

[thrawnrulz68]

@Pat78 - if you play YouTube a lot, you might want to try the filter 3DYD. It works great with MPC-BE, handles Youtube/Vimeo/DailyMotion and others quite well, and is still receiving updates - https://ys.3dyd.com/download/

On another note, has anyone tried to play VP7 videos on MPC-BE recently? This worked up until recently but now the file opens with the right resolution but playback does not begin. This happens with internal MPC filters OR LAV filters. Here are some samples: http://samples.ffmpeg.org/V-codecs/VP7/

Any ideas?

I can not confirm. MPC-BE 1.5.1 (build 2339) beta.

The "file not found" error started a few weeks ago when YT changed something. Mainly Music Videos wouldn't play for me.
Whith 1.5.1 (build 2332) beta the problem was fixed.
Until this weekend when the "file not found" problem started again.
Today MPC-BE works flawlessly with Youtube again.
Maybe Youtube had traffic problems in my country over the weekend or something?

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.

[ryrynz]

Yes, I was considering posting this also with the release of 0.3.

[huhn]

as far as i know it still doesn't support multi subtitle pin input.
i don't even know if it is a planned feature.

[nevcairiel]

The biggest problem is that subtitle renderers are assumed to handle all possible subtitle formats, while AssFilterMod only supports ASS, so as soon as you encounter a file with anything else, say PGS or VOBsubs, playback will likely fail entirely, which is hardly a good situation to be in.

[Aleksoid1978]

And another "big bug" - it's load/create a new copy of filter in graph for each subtitle's pin in source/splitter. It's very bad ...

[huhn]

yes one instance only supports one subtitle pin. but that's not a problem with lavfilter because lavfilter only expose one subtitle pin.

MPC-BE don't need LAVFilters. When(if it's sometimes will be done) it's can accept multiple subtitles pin - maybe add support in MPC-BE.

Hi everybody,

I save a H.264 video stream to a file "output.mp4" and want to watch this video with a few seconds delay. MPC-BE (v1.5.1) reads the video duration, e.g. 1:30 min, and stops playing at 1:30, although in the meantime the video length has increased to 3:00 min. Is it possible to force MPC to update the duration in a short interval and not to stop at 1:30?

Thanks for any hint.

Ok, thanks for your answer. I had some hope, because I saw MPC-BE sometimes updated the duration, but most times not. It never happened on duration < 5 min, and I have no idea what triggers this, but definitely I saw MPC updating the duration every ~10 sec.

[v0lt]

@Klaus1189
Display of tooltips fixed in r2440.

There are many limitations with the 10-bit output. First, you need a supported display. Secondly, you need a video card that can display 10-bit via Direct3D 9. As far as I know, some Nvidia Quadro and some gaming AMD were able to do this.

It seems the situation is better with Directx 11, but I have no experience. I will advise you to read "madVR 10-bit Display Support Test (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=172128)" thread.

[huhn]

EVR can output a2r10g10b10. using a fullscreen exclsuive mode.
not sure if consumer grade GPU are supporting this format. just use madVR.

and yes you need a dx10+ fullscreen exclusive surface to get 10 bit or more in the GPU driver.

be aware that nearly all UHD TV out there are 8 bit.

[v0lt]

There is a nuance with the OS version. I always have X8R8G8B8 output with GTX 950 in Win7. And in Win8.1, I can see A2R10G10B10 output in the statistics. What is very strange, because Sumsung T220 is unlikely to work with 10-bit RGB.

[CruNcher]

https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/drivers/display/ddi-changes-for-direct3d-version-9-drivers

The driver only receives requests to create resources with the D3DDDIFMT_A2B10G10R10_XR_BIAS format for full-screen flipping chains. The Desktop Windows Manager (DWM) handles windowed presentation of XR_BIAS in shader code.

So HDR might be possible to some degree 10 bit windowed ?

the display doesn't matter for 10 bit rendering. it is only send to the driver with 10 bit.

it is very easy to test EVR 10 bit with an AMD GPU but i don't have a AMD GPU build in any of my PCs right now.

if you are able to select 10 or 12 bit in the GPU driver than your display is able to process 10 or 12 bit.
i wouldn't be shocked if a T220 supports 10 bit input.

Hi, I'm new to this forum. Thanks for the continuous support of MPC-BE. I browsed through the forum but couldn't find my issue, hence I'm posting this. I'm facing problem playing a 4K file-The video is stuttering and the audio is trying to auto-sync every 5-10 secs since the video lags well behind audio. As I checked the "display stats" settings, I found that the bitrate is far too low than the original file. Im getting around 3-5fps while the video bitrate around 23 fps. And also the "sync-offset" seems to gradually decrease ie the "Min" keeps going to higher negative values as the video progress. It plays in DXVA2. I have DELL 7548 laptop with internal SSD, core i7-5500U, GPU R7 M265. I could easily play file sizes around 23GB but this one video has a file size around 34GB. MediaInfo is attached. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.:thanks:

most likely the m265 is used for hardware decoding and this GPU doesn't support h265 decoding.

When I am streaming a http stream from a local network source, the stream data is also being saved in AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\IE\[random folder].
I tested also with Vlc and mplayer-hc and they do not save the data.

MPC-BE 1.5.1.2490 now has basic support for HDR. The EVR-cp renderer now automatically converts the HDR image to SDR.

Might switch over to MPC-BE soon. Why doesn't BE use LAV filters? Are the internal ones better/different? Eg. hardware versus software decoding is selectable in LAV filters. In BE, it is hardware. Deinterlacing in BE is auto, which might conflict with madvr if you trust madvr to IVTC first.

[v0lt]

@JarrettH
If you need LAV Filters, then just use them. I do not see any problem here. Everyone decides what to use.

But something is wrong with the brightness, it's very dark compared to madVR conversion. I haven't found settings to correct it.

I have 3 separate apps, MPC-BE x64 and 32bit as well as one of MPC-HC x64 that i have used for a long time to mix and match as each changes over time. I dont know a whole lot about the codecs nor why they are different in making the videos or decoding them, I thought ffdshow and LAV were sort of based on the same things , whatever that is. I only know the names or letters of the filters and experiment based on information i get reading things ,not just on Doom9 forums but all over. I download the newest ones as they come up but basically I keep the lav filters "as is" in the MPC-HC, although i thought they used ffdshow internal too and use a mix of both external filters and built-in both BE apps. since they seem to use the same ffdshow I use for audio and video and lav as splitter. I use MadVr as renderer but only with the BE, and EVR custom in HC but can quickly change over to Madvr if i want
I watch a huge variety of movies , videos from all periods over a hundred years. some require more tweaking to get to play well enough to enjoy. other new blu rays, clearly do not need much or any at all. I have learned by trial and error, need to set a few profiles but even so, some old movies will not fit into any profile. By combining Madvr and the 2 MPC BE & HC players i have been able to watch hundreds of movies that just were not fit to watch on media players through the windows OS. nor would they play on the power dvd i paid for 10yrs ago or so.
I am very happy that people were able to , and did create these great applications.

Greetings,
is there a way to run two separate instances of MPC-BE with different options/settings?
In the past it was possible to run portable version that stored settings in the .ini file, but that option no longer exists.
Thank you.

Using LAV with MPC-BE under Windows 8.1 EVR (Custom) or MadVR to play 3D on a 4k desktop, selecting the Line Interleaved option doesn't produce a 1920x2160 frame but a 1920x1080 frame in a window consisting of 2 truncated, wrapped around, offset and interleaved images, regardless of the MPC options I set.

If I select the Over/Under option I do get the expected 1920x2160 frame in a window.

MPC stats suggest a 1920x1080 video which doesn't sound correct when there are 2 eye view frames of 1920x1080 joined together.

Is there a bug in the Line Interleaved handling of MPC that scales 1920x2160 to 1920x1080 regardless, or have I missed a setting that wraps the window to the actual size and aspect ratio of the video? Because of the native 4k 3D line interleaved nature of the LG TV, I need MPC to only scale horizontally and not tamper with the vertical. It does this with Over/Under setting, so not sure why it would be different with line interleaved.

If you use LAV+MadVR - don't touch 3D settings in MPC-BE, do some needed 3D options in MadVR.

If you want use internal 3D setting for line interleaved mode(for TV with passive 3D) - just set to Auto and use internal video decoder + EVR CP.
And yes - line interlaved mode do output in 1920x1080(not 2160). There is no mode for 3D output in 1920x2160.

Thanks for the clarification.

MadVR also outputs line interleaved as 1920x1080 by first downscaling each eye view to 1920x540 then combining them into a 1920x1080 frame.

Any possibility MPC-BE could support line interleaved output for 4k passive TVs in future? LG's passive 3D 4k OLED TVs are perfect for this application as there is minimal processing and scaling involved after decoding.

When I say 1920x2160 output, I mean as a window on the 4k desktop sized to the video. Scaling the window to fullscreen then provides the desired 3D output of 3840x2160 by only scaling horizontally.

My assumption of the LAV->MPC-BE->EVR/MadVR process was that LAV would decode 3D to something like two separate 1920x1080 eye views, then pass them to MPC-BE which would interleave them to a 1920x2160 frame in a window on the desktop and thence scale it to 3840x2160 when displayed fullscreen, but this does not seem to be happening for a 4k desktop.

[sheppaul]

IanD, could you make a video sample for that? I'd like to try it using other player if it works. I have a 4K display supporting passive 3d too.

[Aleksoid1978]

There is no official 3D4K video, only 1920x1080, and video-renderer do upscale to 4k resolution. No other solution.

[Aleksoid1978]

Also - for 3D decoding don't need LAV Video Decoder. Internal video decoder can do it.

[madshi]

The internal decoder also uses the Intel Media SDK, I suppose?

[nevcairiel]

All "free" MVC decoders do, and even further, they even all use my wrapper code to do it, its fascinating how these features magically appeared everywhere last year :)

[IanD]

Not much point if it's going to scale to 1920x1080 regardless, just like MadVR.

I don't understand why Over/Under works correctly in MPC-BE/MadVR and Line Interleaved doesn't: they are effectively the same frame size before scaling to desktop, but they don't appear as the same frame size in a window on the desktop.

Seems ffmpeg/libav have given up on MVC decoder development?

madVR doesn't do Over/Under. It does do top-and-bottom, but that's also half-resolution.

[nevcairiel]

It comes up occasionally, but its not really moving much. With 3D TVs slowly dying out in newer generations, I wouldn't be surprised if its never finished.

I am experiencing a very odd issue when playing FILM (.cpk or .cak) files. The video renders but the audio (PCM according to MPC-BE) is played highly distorted and very quickly. This occurs with either MPC-BE built-in filters or with LAV Filters and occurs with both the built-in audio renderer and with the default DirectSound device.

MPC-HC does not have this issue.

A bunch of samples can be found here: http://samples.ffmpeg.org/game-formats/film-cpk/

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Bug in LAV Source - it's output wrong/incorrect MediaType for audio stream. In MPC-HC - connect LAV Audio for "private" MediaType.

[thrawnrulz68]

Hi Aleksoid, I am having difficulty locating the "private" MediaType. Is this done in "External Filters" of MPC? Can it be done in LAV Audio Configuration?

You can't do anything - until LAV not fix. LAV output mediatype MEDIASUBTYPE_PCM, but it's wrong.

It's all question to your video-driver.

It's all question to your video-driver.

Do you mean that the video-driver handles video files (eg. 8-bit, 10-bit, hevc, vp9, hdr etc. ) differently ?

No - color correction do video-driver.

I'm not aware of any media type for planar PCM audio, as those files contain.

[Aleksoid1978]

Maybe you just delete MEDIASUBTYPE_PCM from output, as it's wrong ??

Or add new subtype, i use custom for ADX ADPCM in MPEGSplitter & Audio Decoder:
{78646153-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} for ffmpeg codec AV_CODEC_ID_ADPCM_ADX.

Hey ! I have some playback problems with some UHD Files on different machines.


What you mean "not working" ??

[v0lt]

@S3Ri0US
GTX980TI does not have a full-fledged HEVC decoder. Therefore, you have problems with playing HEVC 4k with hardware acceleration.

The second file can not be decoded on a video card, so the CPU is always used here. To understand the reason, you need to look at the statistics (Ctrl+J) and the task manager..
Possible reasons: there is not enough CPU power, one of the CPU cores is overloaded, there is not enough video memory for the built-in GPU.

[S3Ri0US]

Ok thanks ! but both files have the same codec ? HEVC

Using 1.5.1 beta, built-in Wasapi exclusive mode doesn't release audio device, only if I close the player (e.g. winamp can't play audio via directsound output).
- sound device: Primary Sound driver
- wasapi mode: Exclusive
- allow bit exact output: checked (although it doesn't matter regarding to this problem)
- sync method: sync audio to video

It doesn't matter whether video file includes bitstreamable audio (e.g. AC3) or decodeable audio (e.g. aac).

It doesn't releases it when:
- playback ends (same with Sanear)
- playback stopped with stop button (Sanear release it)
- playback paused with pause button (Sanear states (https://github.com/alexmarsev/sanear/commit/af6d327bc3682977488d8c8f6f193592d4a927ed) that it should release it but it only works with decodeable audio but not with bitstreamable ones)

Thanks, guys!

It's release audio device when close playback - and this does not change.

[chros]

It's release audio device when close playback
Playback or player? If playback, how did you close playback?
For me only release it when you close the player.

and this does not change.
No worries about the rest :)

[v0lt]

If playback, how did you close playback?
File->Close (Ctrl+C)
:-)

[jkauff]

You need to close the media file, not just stop playback. Works for me on 1.5.1 (build 2548).

[steakhutzeee]

Trying to figure out this. I'm on a full hd monitor 1920*1080. Now, i've two videos, same resolution, not full hd. One has letterbox, the other doesn't, and it's enlarged on all monitor area. Why this? Can i solve?
Ex. a video 720*304 has letterbox, and it's ok because i think it's not stretched. Another video 720*404 has no letterbox and it seems stretched.

If i use 'Normal' in video frame, the video is not stretched and is displayed to it native resolution, in the middle of the screen. So i think all video are always stretched, but why the difference in letterbox?

[v0lt]

@steakhutzeee
1. Check the layout mode of the frame. The default should be - View->Video Frame->Touch Window from Inside.
2. Check the aspect ratio of the video frame - File->Properties->MediaInfo

[steakhutzeee]

@v0lt
1. It's ok.
2. One file, the one without letterbox is 16:9. The one with letterbox is 2,35:1. This is the reason?

Thanks :)

[v0lt]

@steakhutzeee
2. I repeat. This is called the aspect ratio of the frame.

[steakhutzeee]

@v0lt
Yep, i'm not very confident with this. So you saying that 16:9 aspect ratio image covers all monitor without letterbox?

[v0lt]

So you saying that 16:9 aspect ratio image covers all monitor without letterbox?
I did not say that.
To fill any monitor without croping the frame, use "Strech to Window".

I want playback to auto switch between both frame rates and resolution but cannot fathom how to do it. I want to play and auto switch 23.976fps @ 1080p and 23.976 fps at 2160p The change display options on playback only support one or the other. MPC-BE does not detect when a UHD video is playing compared to a 1080p video at the same frame rate. In MadVR you can set display switching between resolutions and frame rates but when I do that I have issues. If the display is currently set to 1080p and I play a 2160p video it switches to 2160p but the video displays in the top left quarter of the screen. If the display is currently set to 2160p and I play a 1080p video it only displays half the video on the right hand side of the screen.

Any help to fix this welcome.

Does anyone know why I can't get bitstream audio to work in any 32 bit player? It just kinda died in Windows 10. I tried rolling back to a backup of when it did work but it's still not working. Only the 64 bit versions of MPC-BE and HC and Film & TV output bitstreamed audio. If I set to PCM output the 32 bit players work fine. Windows 10 Creators Update here plus AMD Radeon RX 480 (Yes I tried rolling back the drivers etc).

I wonder if some sneaky update in Win10 broke it.

Thanks Aleksoid, this is a very useful feature.

Since this commit however, it seems to cause AV Sync issues quite often now. This typically occurs around, pause/resume and step forward/backwards. Seeking backwards or forwards often corrects this and rarely reopening the file may be required.

Not sure if anybody else has noticed this?

[stax76]

There will not be a such functional.

My reality is I don't need 95% of the features in MPC and 95% of the features I need are not supported. Because of this I have to say I'm not impressed by any desktop player, 90% of them don't support High DPI, I acknowledge that this works nicely in MPC and that it's fairly advanced in many areas, unfortunately all these areas are of little importance to me. As far as I know only VLC is extensible via LUA but it don't even support High DPI.

Since many years I almost exclusively use my personal/private DirectShow player staxplayer which I recently extended with DirectVobSub support so I can watch the last The Americans and The 100 seasons with original audio and subtitles, shortly I'll remove MPC from staxrip and integrate staxplayer instead.

Audio players like MediaMonkey and MusicBee support pretty much anything via extension, staxrip also via event commands and powershell, this was ridiculously easy to implement:

https://github.com/stax76/staxrip/blob/master/General/Automation.vb

For C++ a SDK can be done with COM+ like MediaMonky 4, with V8 like MediaMonky 5, with Lua like VLC or with Python like Kodi. Modern scripting engines with public API as part of Windows 10 are ChakraCore and PowerShell. Every other year I waste time making such posts, typically player devs don't even bother with a reply, let alone implement a feature request, don't take it hard, lately I received an mail regarding staxrip, content: Shit don’t work and it sucks.

EVR is using DXVA scaling even for nvidia. if this is a problem with nvidia EVR CP could do this correctly.

in my test it is using YUY2 by default than p010 if YUY2 is disabled using EVP-CP.

the really strange thing here is that madVR does in correctly with DXVA scaling and p210 input. even with forced YUY2 is is doing it correctly meaning Nvidia is most likely able to do it correctly.

[P.J]

in my test it is using YUY2 by default then p010 if YUY2 is disabled using EVP-CP.

What GPU do you have?

[huhn]

[P.J]

a 1060

So do you have the same problem with YUY2/UYVY and EVR-EVR-CP too?
I think the video is 8-bit then why does it use p010/p210? :confused:

[huhn]

yes EVR/EVR-CP have aliased chroma with YUY2.
madVR get's p210 by default so you can assume the file is 10 bit.
lavfilter does the same.

To know the right output format.
madVR has no problem but I don't wanna use it since it blows up my PC.
It seems EVR/EVR-CP use nearest neighbor chroma upscaling.

Well, I tried to play with MPC decoder. It reports: :confused:

http://i.imgur.com/dYjqOs9.png

[v0lt]

The problem with YUY2 and UYVY is "fixed" in r2712.

@P.J
What exactly did you want to receive?
I will remind, the EVR-CP can accept on an input only that usual EVR can accept.

I have so:
Input format: prores, YUV 10-bit 4:2:2
Output format: YUY2 (8-bit 4:2:2)
Graphics Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 (10DE:1402)

[P.J]

Shouldn't it be P210 rather than YUY2? madVR can output in P210 correctly.

[nevcairiel]

EVR doesn't support P210.

[P.J]

EVR doesn't support P210.

Ah, I didn't know that.
What about P010 (4:2:0 10bit) compared to YUY2 (4:2:2 8bit) ?

[v0lt]

Ah, I didn't know that.
What about P010 (4:2:0 10bit) compared to YUY2 (4:2:2 8bit) ?
Reducing chroma subsampling is more noticeable than decreasing bit depth.

Hi,

I tried MPC-BE (version 1.5.1 build 2548 beta) today for the first time (coming from MPC-HC) and have a few questions:

1. How do I configure the automatically shown subtitles to be only those of foreign languages and default/forced ones? My native language is German, so I only want to see German subtitles if they are default/forced, but I always want to see English subtitles. MPC-HC worked this way but I can't figure it out with MPC-BE, neither with the internal filters nor with LAV.

2. Is there a way to make the seek preview "smoother"? It seems like there is a black frame just before each real frame that's shown, so it looks quite unsteady.

3. Is there a preferred "sync x to y" option for the MPC Audio Renderer when used with madVR?

4. How can I use the MPC-HC Windows Explorer icons with MPC-BE? I replaced the mpciconlib.dll file but it seems like it isn't used (always shows the same MPC-BE icon, even if the format icons option is checked).

[huhn]

mpc-be uses a very basic HDR-SDR conversation for none HDR output. for true HDR you need madVR or the windows video app.

and the used "codecs" in this case is DXVA and for software it is ffmpeg like in any other windows video player.

mpc-be uses a very basic HDR-SDR conversation for none HDR output. for true HDR you need madVR or the windows video app.

and the used "codecs" in this case is DXVA and for software it is ffmpeg like in any other windows video player.

madVR blows up my GTX960 while playing HDR with default settings.

[huhn]

all i can say is fix your system or provide steps to reproduce the issue.

the number of people reporting that madVR is blowing up there PC 1 person. sorry but this points at your system.

[wushantao]

hello guys，

thx for the great software

now， i have a small request

i use laptop and i need to switch mpc be config quickly，

plug power supply：soft decode use cpu， and use madvr

not plug power supply：hard decode use gpu， and dont use madvr

maybe a button， switch mode1→mode2→mode1→mode2。。。。

:thanks:

[Rickkins]

Hey hey....

First off, this forum is still alive...!! ...it's been a while.

Secondly, just found out about this player yesterday, upon hearing the news about mpc-hc's impending possible demise.

Seems like a decent replacement so far.

Thanks.

Hi I just switched to MPC-BE after MPC-HC announced the end of their project.

I noticed the following MPC-HC features missing from MPC-BE that I used:

- File management commands like Delete to Recycle Bin, Open file location, Add containing folder (all in Playlist)
- Jump to Beginning of playback using Home key
- Repeat mode: Repeat File/Repeat entire playlist
- Ability to use Video Overlay Mixer, VMR-7, VMR-9 windowed (these older renderers are useful in playing certain HD videos on slow machines). Overlay mixer on Windows 8/10 keeps DWM on and is very fast. Even HD videos that hang with EVR play fine on slower PCs with Overlay mixer without any dropping of frames or lag.

Any chance the MPC-BE developers might add any of these features?

:thanks: anyway

Hello developers of MPC-BE:

I used MPC-HC for a while. I have to say that the player along with madVR plugin is an irressitible mix. The output was great.

MPC-BE is now in use. It is a great player. The computer in use is a bit dated. It uses a two way graphics processing; one discrete and the other integrated. Video is processed using the integrated graphics which is Intel based. If there is any way MPC-BE can detect the other GPU (discrete) it would be of great help. MPC-BE has been able to detect the INTEGRATED graphics so far.
Ocassionally LAV video filter is put to use but the filter too will detect only the INTEGRATED graphics unit.

Hope developers might ponder upon this.

MPC-HC project might cease. Bad to know about that.

[lvqcl]

Ability to use Video Overlay Mixer, VMR-7, VMR-9 windowed (these older renderers are useful in playing certain HD videos on slow machines).
These renderers were available in older versions of MPC-BE and then were removed.

MPC-BE can't keep sync with any file I play with Default or Internal Audio Renderer. MPC HC works without an issue. I use madVR, but tried EVR Custom and again same thing.

MPC-BE I give 12 stars ************

Hdr support is automatically enabled

Open a video with HDR to test another player to test colors will fade
Turn on the same HDR video (MPC-BE) and you'll see the colors are vibrant and realistic

MPC-BE use its own codecs

Do not use an external codec for MPC-BE

How many GPU Memory do you have ??

[cremor]

Hi,

I tried MPC-BE (version 1.5.1 build 2548 beta) today for the first time (coming from MPC-HC) and have a few questions:

1. How do I configure the automatically shown subtitles to be only those of foreign languages and default/forced ones? My native language is German, so I only want to see German subtitles if they are default/forced, but I always want to see English subtitles. MPC-HC worked this way but I can't figure it out with MPC-BE, neither with the internal filters nor with LAV.

2. Is there a way to make the seek preview "smoother"? It seems like there is a black frame just before each real frame that's shown, so it looks quite unsteady.

3. Is there a preferred "sync x to y" option for the MPC Audio Renderer when used with madVR?

4. How can I use the MPC-HC Windows Explorer icons with MPC-BE? I replaced the mpciconlib.dll file but it seems like it isn't used (always shows the same MPC-BE icon, even if the format icons option is checked).

Anyone please?

[Klaus1189]

r2741 and an earlier build or two crashes immediately when entering D3D fullscreen exclusive mode. It causes a crash in the display driver, basically both screens I have goes to static like you see on old analogue TV with no single, except finer and some colour specks, then the display looks like it tries to reset a couple of times, then the GSOD appears with video_tdr_error.

If I use an earlier revision, such as 2728, it works fine! I'm not sure which build the issue started on, 2738 does the same thing, so I went back to one I knew definitely worked.

@burfadel
Please check v1.5.1.2732. (https://yadi.sk/d/hlf1lfC8mKU58/1.5.1.2732)

[burfadel]

I made a mistake with the cause of the issue. It was the enhanced sync setting in the new Crimson 17.7.2. It only occurred on the TV and not on the main monitor. Probably a driver bug, main monitor is freesync, I wasn't willing to play around with it and find out if disabling that and changing other things help. It's interesting that later versions trigger it straight away and earlier versions took a little longer. Disabling enhanced sync it works properly.

Edit: No further issues, new enhanced sync type vsync in the driver setting was the cause. This for me is the only thing that doesn't seem to work with it. The older revisions there was a delay before the issue, latest nightly it occurs straight away. Also using madVR, so probably a combination of things.

[P.J]

@P.J

[cremor]

How can I prevent moving the whole window by dragging inside the video area? This behavior is very annoying because it happens by accident when I only want to play/pause with a click.
In MPC-HC this was possible by changing the play/pause command to "Left Down" instead of "Left Up" (see Trac ticket (https://trac.mpc-hc.org/ticket/4956)) but this doesn't work for MPC-BE. Both settings allow dragging inside the video area.

While testing this I also found other problems:
* If the play/pause command is set to "Left Down" it still only plays/pauses when I release the button in windowed mode. But in fullscreen mode it correctly plays/pauses on button down. (Yes, I made sure that both settings are set to the same value.)
* If the play/pause command is set to "Left Up" I can't play/pause in fullscreen mode at all. Windowed mode works fine.

I'm already using the new version 1.5.1 (build 2755) beta.

[v0lt]

@cremor
Previously, a pause in the window worked by pressing a key. But users insistently asked that you can move the window by pulling the frame. Therefore, this was altered.

[cremor]

Couldn't you implement it like MPC-HC so that the user has the option to choose? Although a new, seperate option would be better in my opinion since the MPC-HC behavior with different key bindings isn't intuitive at all.

[v0lt]

@cremor
It's not easy to make such an option. :(

[Pieter Nagel]

Ever since I got full-range speakers, explosions and deep bass notes in the soundtrack make my mouse vibrate so much that the mouse pointer pops up. This happens at least once in most movies.

I've tried dialing the DPI of my mouse all the way down, but no luck.

Is there some third party program that can hide the mouse pointer until it is moved a lot? All existing apps and solutions I've found only hide it until it is moved at all, however little.

If not, I would suggest this as a feature in MPC-BE itself that makes sense for HTPCs in general. As a videophile, I consider the mouse pointer to be a serious degradation of the video quality ;-)

[ryrynz]

Make a request for this feature of the author of AutoHideMouseCursor (http://www.softwareok.com/?seite=Microsoft/AutoHideMouseCursor)
The MPC-BE dev's won't add anything like you suggested.

[huhn]

turn the mouse on the side or head.

[ryrynz]

I was going to suggest that, although it seemed obvious. There's also some mice that you can switch off by a button or you could use a keybinding to do so, perhaps even change the cursor to be invisible.

[nevcairiel]

Also a soft fabric/foam-type mousepad can absorb some shocks instead of having your mouse dance on a plastic pad or directly on the table.

[Pieter Nagel]

turn the mouse on the side or head.

Thanks. I'll try again, last time I tried the mouse pointer still appeared sometimes, but that must be a fluke since the mouse's optics aren't supposed to work that way.

Maybe move the mouse to the right bottom corner of the screen.

[peter0815x]

hello

i know this board is usually used when people found a bug or have a prob with mpc be.
i just want to say thanks.
since years i am searching for the perfect media player to play video and audio files
seems i have found it :-)

in the past i used mpc hc and foobar2k but
all players have some disadvantages.

vlc for eg cannot play 4k videos properly and some old mpg files wont play at all
picture quality is also not the best

mpc hc has no cue file support (i asked for it since years but devs just won't add it)
cannot seek some old wmv files

power dvd 17 ultra cannot play all 4k videos, many codecs are not supported so not very good as media player and its very unstable
wasapi audio output has some bugs

windvd is even worse, file support is bad, very slow behaviour

dvd fab media player has high cpu usages with 4k videos, no audio cd support and dvd playback is very loud
no matter which drive u use it spins up to max and stays that way for the full movie.

foobar2k spins up drive when reading audio cds

mpc be is the best player so far :-)
plays dvd and audio cd silent even when seeking drive does not spin up,
plays all 4k videos without probs, best codec support, it can even seek old wmv files which mpc hc cannot seek
supports cue files and has no probs with wasapi exclusive mode.


there is only 1 minor thing i would like to see added:
when using a cue file the seekbar of mpc be shows the full audio file
of course u can jump to next track with "next" button
but if u want to seek inside a track its a bit difficult because seekbar shows only full album not single track
would be perfect to see "chapters" for each track in the seek bar or something like that when using cue files
hope u understand what i mean.

and some audio visualisation in the main window would be nice when an audio file is played

[v0lt]

@peter0815x
Use a separate audio player for listening to music often. A universal video player will always be less convenient.

[peter0815x]

i used foobar2k before
but mpc be supports cue files and wasapi to bypass windows mixer so its not to bad for audio files.
reading audio cds is silent but a bit slow with 1st start and changing tracks compared to mpc hc, eac and foobar2k but its ok

funny thing is that mpc hc and vlc devs said the same (that its mainly for videos) when i reported a bug with audio files :)

[73ChargerFan]

Bugs should be logged and fixed. New features though are optional...

[BluesFanUK]

This may have possibly been answered before, but on the seek bar there's a thumbnail preview, but the preview only shows when you stop moving the bar.

On PotPlayer you can literally just move the mouse through the entire scrollbar without any delay whatsoever, so you can find the exact part of the video without trying to second guess it.

Is there some setting on this player that's causing the delay? It's the reason i'm still sticking with PotPlayer atm.

When it is set to 100% in line 2: "Standardeingabe kann" is ok, but when it is set to 200%: "Standardeingabe" -> new line is created to display "kann". There are more like this broken when it is set to 200%. Also in english version.

I took a look at MPC-HC and they redesigned this part.
This is fine when scaled to 200

[v0lt]

@Klaus1189
I altered it in r2792+2797+2798.

[Klaus1189]

If I play an audiofile (some weird one fb2k doesn't want to play) and have MPC configured to "not change the window size", the window does get smaller like when it is set to "display album art/cover pictures" without a cover art file.

Tell me if I'm wrong, but I think in the past (many versions back) I used also "not change the window size" and it kept its size.

LAV Audio Decoder/MPC-BE Audio Decoder - use ffmpeg/libavcodec and decoding is the same. Different in stream's name showing by Source filter. LAV Source use ffmpeg/libavformat - it's parse stream data and determinate AAC profile - that's all. There is no diff in decoding :)

P.S. Audio format - AAC/22050/1ch - store in matroska header and MPC-BE internal source filter use it. But Audio decoder decode as 44100/2ch:

I do not see a problem. The player gives the maximum quality for this file (44100 Hz stereo).

[Klaus1189]

OK, I thought it would be problem, because there is 22.1 kHz 1 chn in the AUD info, but Aleksoid already pointed out, that in properties it is displayed right and also played right.

A beautiful player that needs to be praised :D:D

[Megalith]

So I'm thinking about switching over from MPC-HC because the latest Nightly has proven to be problematic (the new development team may be a little inexperienced, perhaps).

The biggest difference to me is that MPC-BE doesn't utilize LAV Filters, so I'm wondering: is there any functionality I would be missing if I stick with MPC-BE's filters?

Also, I run a stereo setup, and I can't seem to hear a difference whether I have the channel mixer (mix channels to stereo) option checked or not for videos with a multi-channel audio track -- is this normal?

[wanezhiling]

[huhn]

lavfilter can a lot more than than just software deinterlance.

DXVA copyback so you can run other software filter after decoding.
ordered chapter.
better control over hardware decoder.

and if mpc be works fine for you and lavfilter not you should really fix your PC...

[madshi]

@devs,

not sure if you're interested in this, but the latest LAV + madVR builds now support native D3D11 DXVA decoding, by using a new custom interface. IMHO going forward, this is going to be the best solution for hardware decoding. It performs slightly faster than DXVA2, has identical image quality to software decoding (unlike DXVA2), and due to the simplified custom interface might hopefully also be more stable/reliable than native DXVA2 decoding. Current disadvantages of D3D11 DXVA decoding are that it won't ever work on anything older than Windows 8.1, and that the current madVR version doesn't support DXVA deinterlacing + scaling yet (will be added in a future version), when using native D3D11 DXVA decoding.

If you're interested in adding support for this to your decoders and/or renderers, you can see the new custom interface here:

https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/blob/master/decoder/LAVVideo/decoders/d3d11/ID3DVideoMemoryConfiguration.h

[Klaus1189]

@madshi: how do I setup native D3D11 DXVA decoding with LAV Filters and madvr?

[madshi]

You need madVR v0.92.1 and a nightly LAV build. Then in LAV select "D3D11" as the "hardware decoder to use". Done.

[Klaus1189]

thanks, it works :)
What is the benefit of it? I already used D3D11 in madvr. -> Native DXVA decoding in 10 bit per color?

[madshi]

[Klaus1189]

Sorry, I have to be more precise: What is meant by "custom interface"?

EDIT: Too many beers yesterday ;-D

[ryrynz]

It means he and Nevcairiel created a new interface or "communication" to output via D3D11.

[Klaus1189]

I thought there is a new grafical user interface. @ryrynz: thanks for the help :)

Shouldn't video streams get buffered? That's how every browser does it.
MPC BE downloads 4k 60fps VP9 YT stream with 2.6MB/s after initial batch, while my cable connection allows >50MB/s.

[v0lt]

An error was made in r2834 and your hotkeys were probably dropped. The error is fixed in r2838 (https://yadi.sk/d/dfZrXBRU36VvnY). I'm sorry.

@madshi
Yes, I am interested in this topic, but a new decoder or renderer is a very large and complicated job, which I can't allocate enough time.
I certainly hope that we will ever implement d3d11va in MPC-BE.

I fully understand. FYI, most of the video bitstream specific DXVA structures seem to be the same in DXVA2 and D3D11. So it's not a completely new decoder. But it's probably still quite a bit of work.

MPC-BE reads the data as well as for local files, nothing buffered.

Browser download stream in temporary files and load from it for playback.

I looked at the translation and found these two lines:
1.) BEGIN DIALOGEX IDD_PPAGEMISC LINES 29 -> 17 "LCD-Unterstützung für Logitech-Tastaturen aktivieren (experimentell)"
2.) STRING IDC_DSSYSDEF "Standard Video-Rendering-Filter für DirectShow. Alle anderen weichen auf diesen aus, wenn sie nicht geladen werden können. Auf Windows XP gleichbedeutend mit VMR-7 (windowed)."

1.) I this feature really needed anymore, I mean the feature was already in MPC-HC and was left like it is and is still experimental. Furthermore there are no new keyboards which have a display.
2.) I only have Windows 10 here to test and don't know if MPC-BE does VMR-7 (windowed) anymore on Windows Vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1. If there is no VMR-7, this line is obsolete. And the second sentence in german translation must be deleted, because there is no support for XP anymore since 1.5.x. But before I delete the sentence (maybe @devs can also do it), I ask here if the string is needed anymore.

@v0lt and @Aleksoid1978: Thank you, you are the best :D

[v0lt]

1) Enable Logitech LCD support (experimental). As far as I know, this feature worked before. But I do not know if anyone is using it now. I think the "experimental" tag can be removed.

2) Line IDC_DSSYSDEF in English now looks like this - "Default video renderer filter for DirectShow (VMR-7). Others will fall back to this one when they can't be loaded for some reason.".
This renderer will always be in windows for compatibility (https://msdn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/windows/desktop/dd407349%28v=vs.85%29.aspx). Calling VMR-7 directly is also possible, but in new systems it's useless.

Since the problem is on different players, I'll assume that the MPC-BE does not bother with anything.
But I can advise you to disable all output sample formats except Int16.

Well, considering that both Media Player Classic Black Edition and Media Player Classic Home Cinema share the same code and are both based on Media Player Classic, I'd say it's relevant. I used Media Player Classic back then, big fan, then when the devs stop supporting the project, I started using Media Player Classic Home Cinema when some devs decided to continue the development of Media Player Classic and make their own version (Home Cinema). I've switched to Black Edition but I also keep Home Cinema on my computer in case I have issues with a file, like when I tried to watch the anime D-Gray-man with BE and the subtitles would not appear, and I switched to HC and they showed up, so I watched that anime with HC.

I don't understand your answer for my problem at all. You will have to tell me more and tel me where to look in the options. My mother language is French, not English.

It's also possible that the wrong audio renderer is selected.

Hello. I think a problem with the MPC Audio Renderer was introduced somewhere between build 2548 and build 2755.

First, here is my setup: WASAPI mode is Exclusive, and bit exact output is enabled. Everything else is default. I play audio through HDMI to my AVR in a 5.1 setup, and Windows is configured to 2 channels. I am using Windows 10 Creators Update.

When I play a track with 5.1 (not bitstream) audio, and then I pause the track, then most of the time, when I resume the video, the audio is gone, and I need to restart the player and the track, to get the audio back.

Seeking usually works. I don't remember noticing audio disappearing after a seek. Only after a pause and resume. Also, I have not noticed any problems with tracks with stereo audio, though I don't play many of these, so I don't know for sure.

It all works fine in 2548 and is broken in 2755. I also tried build 2807, and that has the same problem.

If you need more info to look into this problem, please let me know, and I will do my best to provide it.

Thank you in advance.

Аbout the same thing in MPC-HC.

Thanks v0lt, I'll also test this tomorrow. Actually I was the one who asked for the new features, and you were so kind to implement it. Thanks again! :)

[Klaus1189]

I use automatic refresh rate change of MPC-BE and it works like a charm, but when using delay timer, it delays playback (screen stays black) and then playback starts.
I checked MPC-HC and it also starts playback but the first frame is already rendered and paused till the delay timer runs down and then playback starts with audio.
I beg to change it in MPC-BE the way MPC-HC does it. The reason is, that the MPC-HC method doesn't create dropped frames at the start (Video but also Audio). If you need someone to test, let me know.
To test this feature you need several different videofiles, some with black first frames, some without black ones at the beginning and some with audio starting at the very beginning.

Hmm. Where do I find the latest build? Looking at Yandex, the latest version I can see there is 2838 and on SourceForge, it is even older. Sorry if this is a noob question.

Edit: Ahh. Found link in v0lt's tagline that contained the new builds. Thanks. I will test it now. Perpahs I would be a good idea to update the OP with this link, so you can avoid more noob questions like that in the future.

[fluffy01]

I just tested now, and the new version is actually much worse, because it seems to have problems regaining the exclusive lock after you start playing again, causing the entire player to lock up. And yes, I did activate the feature in the options.

My english is bad - i don't understand you :) Maybe you record video from desktop and i try understand.

[fluffy01]

I don't know how to record a video from desktop, but instead I will try to describe the problem a little better.
I looked through the commits on sourceforge, and ran them through Google translate. And as far as I could figure out, the commit you made, was about releasing the exclusive lock on the audio system, when pausing the video.
So I downloaded the latest build (2859), and enabled the option for this in the settings, and then I played a video and paused it and then unpaused it again, and it completely locked up the player, so I had to kill it from the Process Manager.
I hope you understand this, and if not, then maybe Google Translate can help understand it a little better?

[chros]

Check settings MPC Audio Renderer.
Oh, "Release device when idle", nice, thanks!

the commit you made, was about releasing the exclusive lock on the audio system, when pausing the video.
That's correct. Here's a small test case (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1808005#post1808005) for it in 2 groups.

Hi,

Just switched from HC. Having an issue with subtitles not showing. I played a video and subtitles automatically started playing, so I pressed W to turn them off. Now I can't get subtitles to show at all. Does anyone have any idea? Using LAV filters/MadVR.

[v0lt]

@iSeries
I do not confirm. Update the player and filters.

[iSeries]

@iSeries

Everything is up to date. Subtitles are enabled, LAV is loading them and passing them on, but they are just not making it to my screen. Switching back to HC, subtitles show as expected. So I have no idea what to do.

[JarrettH]

re: right click menu

Why are the audio streams under Navigate > Audio Language instead of the "Audio" menu? Same with subtitles. They belong prioritized for access, not in a sub-branch. The Audio and Subtitle menus only seem to function for loading external files and that's not a common situation IMO.

Also, I don't believe "Navigate" describes to the user that you would find audio and subtitle streams inside, maybe more to do with seeking the clip.

[fluffy01]

I just did some experimenting, and I tracked down the change that broke it for me, and it was the commit created by r2586.

All builds before this works, and all builds from this version and forward does not work. I hope that this can help figure out what is wrong.

If you need any assistance in fixing this bug, let me know and I will help all I can.

In case it is important, here is my setup:
Win 10 x64 CU
Connected to a AVR with a 5.1 speaker setup via HDMI
Configured Windows for 2 speakers
Configured MPC Audio Renderer for exclusive and bit exact output

And in case you forgot the problem, here is it: When I pause a video with a 5.1 audio track (not bit streaming) and then resume it again, the audio goes missing.

[fluffy01]

I just did another test with newest build (2864), and if I DISABLE the new option in the audio renderer, then it works again, so that it at least something :)
But I would really like the feature to be working, as I would then be able to play other stuff, for example from youtube, if I need to, just by pausing the player instead of having to actually exit the player and then restart and seek afterwards.

And I just retested the part about the channel layout: If I play a video with stereo audio or if I bitstream, then it works perfectly when I enable the option. It is only when I play 5.1 and is not bitstreaming, that I have the problem.

[P.J]

This video is interlaced but plays in progressive mode :confused:

[salam2009]

Hi @v0lt, @Aleksoid1978
I'm having 2 issues so far:
1) The player doesn't support high DPI displays at 4K desktop resolution which makes the content too small, or a little blurry after applying the 3 options (or leaving them) in the exe's compatibility settings window. Here's how it looks when choosing "Application (http://i.imgur.com/il9ontt.jpg)" in the mentioned window. This one for "System (http://i.imgur.com/te0eu0i.jpg)" setting (notice the menu & sub clarity) & this for "(System Enhanced) (http://i.imgur.com/XUZDQLw.jpg)".
2) The player opens videos up after 2 seconds! (disabling AntiVirus doesn't help)

Here's my setup:
K-Lite Mega Codec Pack v13.4.3
MPC-BE v1.5.1 (build 2755) x64 [Installer version]
EVR (custom presenter) as Video renderer
LAV & XySubfilter as external filters (tried all HW decoders, removing them didn't help either)

Your help would mean the world :)
Thanks so much in advance!

[v0lt]

Can you upload/link a sample with 5ch?

I just tried out quickly with 5.1 flac in mkv: it works fine here.
Otherwise my setup is the same as yours:
- in OS: 2ch, 16bit, 44100KHz
- in mpc-be: exclusive mode, bit exact

I use LAV filters as splitters and decoders (almost the newest nightly), try it with it.
If it doesn't help then my best guess is driver issue.

Hmm. My OS is set to 2 ch, 24 bit, 192kHz, but otherwise the same. I also use latest external LAV nightly.

I am using Radeon 17.7.2, but the problem also occur with other versions. My card is an Rx 460 card.
I just noticed that there is a 17.8.1 driver available. I will try with that, but I doubt it will make any difference.

I haven't tried with just a sound track, but you can test with any random video with 5.1, whether it is AC3 or DTS or something else. Just disable bitstreaming in LAV Filters, and it will decode it and send it as regular uncompressed audio. I don't know it it makes any difference.

If you want me to try a test build with some changes, let me know, and I will.

Edit: I just updated to 17.8.2 graphics drivers and did a reboot of the system, and I still have the same issue.

[v0lt]

Also, what about the 2nd issue?
I think the problem is in the external filter. I suggest de-intalling the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack.
The same problem is possible because of the Nvidia 3D Vision driver.

Thanks a lot!

A universal player like this one would be more convenient if we make it support high DPI displays as this would resolve all the video/audio cover sizes issues I'm facing (maybe others too).

[Aleksoid1978]

MPC-BE already support high DPI for GUI. Picture, album art is not scalling.

[salam2009]

@v0lt
I was finally able to sort my problems out thanks to you & stax76 for leading me to one of your tips :)
For album cover non-scaling problem, I'll be using MPC-HC for audio playback while yours for video.
As for the delay in player loading, I fixed it without de-installing K-Lite by doing 2 things:
- Restored the player to its default settings then reconfigured it without using LAV as external filters. (this gained me around 1.5 seconds in player startup!)
- Disabled the feature "Use the preview in the search" in Options > Interface. (made it 0.5s faster)
Thank you both again!

[chros]

They weren't pure soundtracks but video files with flac 5.1.

but you can test with any random video with 5.1, whether it is AC3 or DTS or something else. Just disable bitstreaming in LAV Filters, and it will decode it and send it as regular uncompressed audio.
This also works here.
I don't know where your problem could come from. Don't you have a second rig (e.g. a laptop with HDMI output) to try out with?

The following is surely more a driver problem but I would like to mention it anyway. On my htpc I also have a Realtek 5.1-analogue audio out and unfortunately this works only up to version R2.81.
With R2.82 and the latest Beta there is no sound at the analogue outs. MPC-HC has the same problem.

Edit. Both KODI and LEAWO work great with the new driver and the analogue outs so it might be a bug in MPC ??

Is there any difference between these cases? Both using madvr, delay timer, automatic refresh rate change and launch files in fullscreen is enabled.
1. double click on a videofile in windows explorer (MPC-BE is set as default video player in Win 10 Pro) -> about a second is missing at the very beginning, both audio and video.
2. Start MPC-BE and open file with CTRL + Q -> everything is fine, not missing a part of a second.

Only happens with the advanced features enabled mentioned at the beginning. Is there anything that can be done so case 1 behaves like case 2?

This is caused by madvr settings, if I use D3D9, it is fine, and when I disable exlusive mode on D3D11 it is also fine, it only happens when using D3D11 exclusive.
So I think it's nothing on MPC-BE's side ;)

Hi Guys!

Any Tips on how I can make "ASSsubfilter" work in this player? It just wont recognize the filter

[ryrynz]

No tip. It's not supported. They will add support when it's a suitable replacement for Internal/XYSubfilter.

Since we're on the topic, XYSubfilter is dead, I haven't seen any commits to the internal subtitle filter recently but wondered, how does it stack up against XYSubFilter performance wise?

[Grimsdyke]

@ developers. I would like to suggest the following 'autoload external audio'-feature enhancements (win7, 32bit).

1) When an external audio file is loaded all features on that disc have that length now ! For example, a ten minutes interview featurette is now shown as 90 minutes long !

2) There is a German label which unfortunately names all their BluRays with the companys name. No matter which film the discs are named ANOLIS FILM ENTERTAINMENT.
I have several external audio files there and unfortunately they are ALL loaded even when not meant for that movie and that causes handling problems for my somewhat weak system !!
So I was wondering if you could not add a check for, say, the time stamp of the bdmv-folder ?
For example: ANOLIS FILM ENTERTAINMENT.[10.03.2014]. Mole People - Mick Garris Audio commentary.ac3
This would make sure that only that file is loaded and not also the audio commentary for, say, 'Monolith Monsters', etc.

[v0lt]

XYSubfilter is dead
Why such stupid thoughts? Did the XYSubfilter stop working? No. Please stop talking nonsense. :mad:

[huhn]

yes the xy subfilter project isn't updated anymore and has major bugs. XY vsfilter is in even worse conditions.

that's what i understand as a dead project. ffdshow still works but that doesn't change that it is a dead project.

and at UHD xy vsfilter pretty much stops working. it is very very slow compared to asslib.

[v0lt]

I did not follow the development of AssFilterMod and I have two questions.

1. AssFilterMod can accept and switch multiple subtitle streams?
XySubFilter can.http://jpegshare.net/thumbs/c1/b0/c1b077b18e7b7e66fc1cabba6a48cc77.jpg (http://jpegshare.net/c1/b0/c1b077b18e7b7e66fc1cabba6a48cc77.png.html)

2. AssFilterMod can load external subtitles?
XySubFilter can.http://jpegshare.net/thumbs/b6/37/b637811f3ac8acbcfff3b9b873d093fc.jpg (http://jpegshare.net/b6/37/b637811f3ac8acbcfff3b9b873d093fc.png.html)

[huhn]

1. you can switch subtitles with it but it only accepts one graph. which is totally fine with lavfilter and very problematic with the internal filters from MPC-BE.
if i'm not mistaken Aleksoid1978 made that very clear.

2. yes externals subtitle work with 0.3.

so adding it is not an option for MPC-BE right now.

[v0lt]

@huhn
You are wrong.
1. I checked in MPC-HC 1.7.13.112 + MatroskaSplitter.ax + AssFilterMod 0.3. AssFilterMod is not able to work with several pins.
2. I checked in MPC-HC 1.7.13.112 + AssFilterMod 0.3. AssFilterMod can not load external subtitles.

In both cases, I can not switch the subtitle track. Nothing has changed after a year. We will not support filters that do not work as required.

[huhn]

subtitle switching works fine with lavfilter and yes i know it doesn't work with mpc-be because is only supports one pin.

external sub work fine for me. make sure that external subs are ass or srt. PGS doesn't work.
i know it will not work for mpc-be but that doesn't change that people want to use it.

We not add support until developer not add multiple input pin support and add interface for select input pin, it is must work for internal/external subtitles.

[ryrynz]

Why such stupid thoughts? Did the XYSubfilter stop working? No. Please stop talking nonsense. :mad:Development is dead the dev won't be back and nobody will continue it. No nonsense. It's done, doesn't mean it doesn't work though.. I use it.

[v0lt]

I used 3 subtitle files (.ass) with standard names (<videofilename>.<suffix>.ass). This works everywhere except AssFilterMod.

[huhn]

https://abload.de/img/externalsubtitlep2ka5.png
works fine for me nothing more i can say.

and i'm not here to get it into MPC-BE right now. i undrestand why it is not added and the dev of assfiltermod wants to add support for more than 1 pin.
i'm just here to say why people want to use it instead of XY Subfilter.

Player crashes immediately when playing all VP9 files in DXVA mode.

What am I doing wrong, VP9 files are played but GPU isn't displayed on GUI, so it isn't active, do you have a sample file and instructions for enabling it somehow? MSI RX480 8GB

VP9 DXVA is checked in settings...

[huhn]

polaris doesn't have a hardware decoder. the RX 480 has an hybrid decoder for 8 bit only. i'm not sure if it is active right now. i know it was or is possible to use this decoder in chrome with a newer windows 10 version.

[Klaus1189]

Thanks, does a 1070 / 1080 (Ti) have a hardware decoder, if so what resolution + framerate + bitdepth per color does it support?

[sneaker_ger]

1060, 1070 and 1080 (Ti) should have 8192x8192 with 8 bit. Framerate I don't know but 4Kp60 should be fine. 1050 (Ti) and 1030 have 10 bit and supposedly even 12 bit VP9. All Pascal cards support 12 bit HEVC.

https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk

[Klaus1189]

Thank you for the link, is 23 Hz setting now better (1060, 1070, 1080 (Ti)), my last old Nvidia did 23.972 which was awful.

[huhn]

that's just a number which doesn't have to be worse than a better looking number. it's a complicated topic between the war of 3 different clocks. in short the system say your clock is 23.972 but that doesn't matter as long as the audio clock see it as 24000/1001 which is rarely does on all GPUs.

[v0lt]

All Pascal cards support 12 bit HEVC.
This does not mean anything, since it is unclear how to use it.

If I bitstream Audio to my AVR and watch a movie in 23 Hz setting using madvr, what does it display? Still 23.972? -> repeated/dropped frames
I still don't know if it is also 23.972 in newer cards like 1060 /1070 ...

I'm ready for the complicated explanation, I want always learn :D

[huhn]

I'm ready for the complicated explanation, I want always learn
the number is just a number 23.972 could be worse could be better than 23.976. the AMD clocks are on avg better than nvidia clock in my personal experience but both are far from perfect.
wrong thread. and bitstreaming has nothing todo with it it has the same problems.

it should work fine with CUVID. AFAIK there is no 12 bit HEVC DXVA spec. maybe nev can use CUVID through his new custom D3D11 api.

I used some features in ffmpeg using NVENC. But, again, I did not see that anyone could use the ability to hardware decode HEVC 12-bit in DirectShow players.
Maybe there are players who can do this, but I'm not aware of this.

[Klaus1189]

OK, what thread can I ask further questions to this topic? Like to try create a custom 23p mode. -> http://madvr.com/crt/CustomResTutorial.html (Thanks for the link), what settings are the "best" when it comes to the needed numbers like front porch, sync width, back porch. Do I need any other number?

[huhn]

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=146228

you should first read the tutorial there is nothing else you need and you would not ask question like this:
what settings are the "best" when it comes to the needed numbers like front porch, sync width, back porch.

it can be automated. after that you have to try them.

don't forget a huge number of screen are unable to do native 23p what so ever they support the input but they are unable to correctly output it this counts for for very expense screen too. so you should check your screen first for that or you are just wasting your time and 60hz + SM is clearly better.

http://www.rtings.com/

[Klaus1189]

I already read the tutorial, but I asked here if there is a best combination of the needed number, because I also read https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1729870#post1729870

Just thinking about it... why doesn't Nvidia itself provide a "cleaner" 23p mode. Intel hd4600 had a very nice 23p mode out of the box. Why does the user have to adjust and finetune it, the cards are expensive enough, so I think I can demand nice 23p out of the box without warning screens when entering custom mode menu.

[huhn]

you really don't get it right?

last comment on this topic here.
AMD and intel have the same problem the number only looks better but again it is just a number...

there are 3 clocks working here and they don't match on AMD on nvidia and even on intel. getting them match is pure luck no matter what. that why you usually need to recreate for all 3 GPU vendors a custom resolution because they can't match all clocks an planet earth. they are not accurate enough and they never will be and there are multiply way to get audio out of a PC system all have different clocks.

but feel free to demand some atom clock like precision.

[Grimsdyke]

Isn't it already that what you need? It tells you that hardware decoding is active or not.

It does not because it always shows GPU !!
MPC-HC immediately indicated [S/W] on this Blu-Ray !! So was PotPlayer but there it is also possible to switch between S/W and H/W and after switching the Blu-Ray played perfectly.
For me that is very helpful and not a toy.

[Klaus1189]

Did you already figured out what caused this specific Blu ray to display GPU altough it wasn't using hardware acceleration? Did you use internal filters or external ones? What Codec is used for this specific Blu-ray: H.264, MPEG-2 or VC-1?

For me MPC-BE only shows GPU if hardware acceleration is indeed used.

OK, here are the working settings for 1080p screen:

madVR - zoom control:
- x disable scaling if image size changes by only: ... 25 lines or less
- x move subtitles: ... to bottom of the screen/window
- x auto detect hard coded black bars
- x notify media player about cropped black bars: ... no more than once every 2 sec
- x keep bars visible if they contain subtitles: ... forever
- x crop black bars

MPC-BE - Options:
- Subtitles:
-- Subtitle renderer: internal subtitle renderer
-- x Prefer external subtitles over embedded subtitles
-- x Use Subresync (this is an amazing feature from Gabest!)
- Subtitles - Rendering:
-- disable here: "Override placement"
-- Sub pictures to buffer: 10
-- Max texture resolution: Desktop
-- x Allow dropping some subpictures if the queue is running late
- Subtitles - Default Style:
-- Screen Alignement & Margins:
--- bottom middle
--- Left, Top, Right: 20
--- Bottom: 9
--- disable here: "Position subtitles relative to the video frame"
-- Border style: Opaque box, border width: 2, Shadow width: 3
-- Colors & Transparency:
--- Primary, Secondary: ~90% ; Outline: ~60% ; Shadow: ~50%
--- disable here: "Link alpha channels"
-- Font: Arial, size: 16 (depends on the size of the screen)

This is not true. Sometimes it does not show anything.
I think it works OK (using external LAV filters (copyback direct mode) and madVR), I saw once when LAV reported that copyback is used and MPC-BE didn't display GPU icon: with Ducks.Take.Off.2160p.QHD.CRF25.x264

- I don't like to use any additional filter if a feature can be done within the player itself

No worries. I just go through the major ones (you can play with the rest and you'll see the effect):

madVr:
- x disable scaling if image size changes by only: ... 25 lines or less
---- it doesn't turn on the scaling algorithms for small size changes, e.g.: if your display is 1920x1080 and your video file 1904x1064 (e.g. with web-dls)
- x keep bars visible if they contain subtitles: ... forever
---- this is for hardcoded subs in black bar

MPC-BE:
-- x Prefer external subtitles over embedded subtitles
---- it will always select first the external sub (srt) if it exist and you have set a preferred language at "Options -> Playback -> Default track preference; Sub: 'hu hun en eng' "
-- Max texture resolution: Desktop
---- renders the sub at desktop resolution: it will be more finer
--- disable here: "Position subtitles relative to the video frame"
---- since we cropped the possible black bars in madVR it's important to disable this: it will always position relative to the window of the player this way

So, the important settings were to achieve what you wanted:
madVR - zoom control:
- x move subtitles: ... to bottom of the screen/window

On certain parts the black bars were cropped effectively. I've seen the difference opening the same file in VLC. This can achieve a worse video quality? This kind of "forced zoom on a video". This is the source of my doubts.

So I effectively need to crop the black bars in the madvr settings? And there is the other command to keep them visible if there are subs. What this is about? If I want always the black bars instead?

My doubt is because black bars are cropped only if i select the option 'if there are big black bars', so i can delete the bars completely, so what's the use of the option 'crop black bars'? i can't see difference if i disable it.

And, can i use these settings with LAV Splitter installed and active?

Hope it's clear :P

Thanks again and again :D

Chapter markers are still somewhat tricky !! They work for example on Blu-Ray #1 of Nightwish's Vehicle of Spirit but not on BR #2.

Well, the idea behind cropping black bars is that video card has less amount of data to deal with. If it's not an issue for you then you don't need this feature in madvr.

And, can i use these settings with LAV Splitter installed and active?
That's how I use them (see my signature).

I do not understand your problem. But on the basis of what I understood, my answer is no.

I want without breaking out of full screen mode to tell what the audio output is. This way I can set the receiver to Stereo x7 if the audio is stereo rather than some surround mode. ATM I have to use properties (as you said) and scroll or come out of full screen to click the AUD button. A simple OSD message showing the audio track information is neat and quick. Perhaps along with show name of media file we can include audio info video info as well when file first loads rather than just title only?

MPC-BE 1.5.2 Nightly builds: main file store (https://yadi.sk/d/hlf1lfC8mKU58), alternative (https://yadi.sk/d/UPpCf3tx3SciJK)
Also new and old versions can be found on VideoHelp.com (https://www.videohelp.com/software/MPC-BE).

[cyberscott]

I did find an incompatibility issue with MPC-BE (last several builds tested), madVR and Nvidia Fast Sync (vertical sync option). With it enabled, MPC-BE will crash as soon as a video is started. Videos will start if EVR is used as a renderer.
MPC-CE isn't affected by the Nvidia Fast Sync option.

Nothing really for the devs to fix, just throwing this info out there in case someone finds immediate crashes with MPC-BE and they have Fast Sync enabled in the Nvidia drivers. Problem goes away when Fast Sync is disabled. :)

Great player, btw! :thanks:

Hi Cyberscott started on which build you spot this incompatibility, cause I´m use a night builds(dont remember the # I posted later) with no problems using FASTSYNC

I tried MPC-BE 1.5.1 (build 2985) and MPC-BE 1.5.1 (build 2755) with the same result. Of course, a lot of things can cause this to happen that are specific to my hardware and software. I'm running the latest Windows 10 Pro on the current retail version, AMD Ryzen 1800x and using a Nvidia gtx 1080. It might only happen on a 1080 card and I haven't tried on a different graphic card. It could happen to some and not others or maybe no one else. Lots of software / hardware variables out there!

[xincun]

Waiting new certificate :)

New certificate has been released.
Are the nightly builds digitally signed with a hash to ensure their integrity?

[takenori]

for acestream, do i need separate installer fro their website or it works independently.
i tried to open several address, but it keep saying file not found

Nightly builds is not signed - limitation use of certificate, now it use USB token and need a PIN code for every use. Can't do automatical build and upload the project.

hi all, i'm new with MPC-BE and sorry for my english!

my HTPC:

I5 760 socket 1156
6 gb DDR ram 1600
motherboard ASUS P7H55D-M PRO
GPU EVGA 1050 FTW 2GB GDDR5
SSD 256 evo

my tv:
LG 65B6V

i always used mpc-hc+madvr but now playing 4k video "the film goes to shots", "is not smooth"...
I was looking for a guide to set correctly, and i read with in some codec the load is demanded to the cpu...so i think i have to change CPU-Motherboard and Ram.

Today i remove all software and i try MPC-BE, ho well, it play good everything, the ISO too...without any codec!

What is strange, but mybe i'm wrong, is:

- if i install and use Madvr i didnt see the 4k video go fluid, same....stops and starts again..
- same with lav filters

its normal?
I have to set something in with Madvr or lav filters?

thx all :)



PS:


This is what i have to buy maybe tomorrow and need some suggestions:

motherboard:
Asus B150I Pro Gaming
or
??????????


CPU:
i5-6400 LGA1151 max 3.3 GHz
or
i3 7100T LGA1151 3.40 GHz

need suggestions pls :)
and thx all again!!!!

Your problem is not in MPC-BE, but in hardware and madVR. Use programs to measure CPU, RAM, GPU, Video memory.

@Blackwalker

CPU is the most loaded, almost all...
without madVR or LAV Filters all play good and well!

like i supposed is the CPU.....

ho well, its time to change!


Suggestions on what i'd like to buy? thx :)

[nsnhd]

Then you haven't setup correctly, the GPU should be loaded not CPU.

Not sure what settings you are talking about?
The only setting I know in mpc-be that affects position of ass subtitles is "position subtitles relative to the video frame". If that is left unchecked, all subtitles position will be off. Either way, both are also rendered out of video window frame.

Please see screenshot below of it being unchecked.

I'm using 1.5.1 and I don't understand how to playback acestream files. I have Acestream player and it works with no problem. I leave the ACE engine running but when I click on a link MPC-BE opens and after a while it simply states "file not found".

[beter]

Actually he means that the out-of-picture part of the subpictures are not cropped or are not covered by black bars, so when there are empty spaces in the playback frame, the things would be shown that are not supposed to be displayed.


I would not call it as a bug, as the things exist in the ass subtitle actually, but the other video players/subtitle renderers don't behave in the same way as MPC-BE now.

And I hadn't noticed that MPC-HC has ever changed at all, this was the same in MPC-HC.

To be fair, aside from the issue I mentioned, mpc-be ISR performs the best out of the rest from what I've tested.

It does not crash with problematic heavy kfx, perspective distortion tag renders correctly, colorspace used is also correct.

thx i'll check. So you think that the heavy cpu load is because madvr or lav filters are not set correctly?

I see and there are no specific guide for playing 4K hdr video on a 4K hdr TV
Would be nice if someone can help me on settings

I dont know what's wrong, but i think if someone is expert, should be
not so difficult, like you have to set this and this

I work on computer, programming and i think many pp befofe me ask this!!

Lets hope in someone help :)

[Klaus1189]

If I use madvr and enable "delay playback until renderer is full" the taskbar indicator (is it called that way?) displays pause and yellow color progress of file. Is that something that can be fixed? In MPC-BE or madvr?

That taskbar indicator is not known to me. It's probably MPC-BE's? If so, you may need to talk to the MPC-BE devs about this problem.

I beg to fix this issue. If you don‘t know what I try to describe let me know.

But also to be fair, since the previous "efficiency improvement" adapted from MPC-HC, the support for some of the drawing tags(\p<0/1/..> ) on both MPC-BE and MPC-HC is probably dropped. It is normal when using XySubfilter or very old version of MPC-BE and MPC-HC.

I can't remember exactly. I think it is broken start from around 1.4.X.

And on MPC-HC, at least it was still normal in 1.6.X.

I am not sure if it is really related to the "improvement" at that time, but the both MPC-HC and MPC-BE broke the same thing in around 2014-2015, so it should be something shared in the two players.

I recently switched from MPC-HC and the only feature I miss so far is the titles of the chapters being displayed when hovering with the mouse on each chapter section on the seek bar. I have many live concerts divided in chapters, with each chapter containing one song and having the title of the chapter displayed over the seek bar makes finding a specific song much easier. Are there any plans to implement something similar?

Since 1.5.2 is mostly small changes and bug fixes will you be releasing it this year? I think the previous update took much too long, maybe you need a Dev branch for any bigger changes
rather than making people have to run nightlies cos the last release was six months ago or something.

That would be nice! I switched to BE because I thought it was more active, not to be deferred to nightlies indefinitely (frankly I don't care about nightlies, the front-facing product is the stable release).

Yeah, I don't think there's any good reason why 1.5.2 couldn't be released in a few weeks or so. No need to drag it out, quick releases please.

@ryrynz
If someone does not want to use night builds, do not use it. But bug reports need to be checked for night builds.
If someone does not want to use the signed and recommended beta releases (which newer than the stable version), then this is his problem.
We will work as we like.

@ devs. I am not sure if anything can be done about the following but I have one blu-ray in my collection on which one of the featurettes is actually 6 minutes longer than the main movie itself. So, BE always loads the featurette because it seem to look only at the duration !!
Movie: around 95 minutes & 22 GB size.
Featurette: around 101 minutes but only around 4.2 GBs (720x576)

So, not only checking the duration but also the file size to maybe better determin what the main feature is ??
Or even better, maybe you can implement a raw/basic menu like KODI has ?
Thanks.

[Aleksoid1978]

You can select BD playlist in menu, after opening.

[Grimsdyke]

I know that, but KODI is doing this much more elegantly by preseting a menu before playing any file and it puts the correct file at the top of the list !! So KODI is able to figure out what most likely the main feature is.
And you don't think it is somewhat akward that BE considers a file on a Blu-Ray at 720x576 as the main movie at all ? Especially when a 22 GB/1080p file is also present ?

00:00:12.762 --> 00:00:14.347 size:88% position:56%
Test 2

00:00:14.347 --> 00:00:17.308 align:end position:100%
Test 3

If you're interested and it is possible on technical side, let me know to send you a sample file. :)

Right now answer is no. To add full WebVTT subtitles support - need write conversion to ASS subtitles format. And it's can be for external files - but can't for embeded subtitles.

[Klaus1189]

Ok, do you already have plans to write WEBVTT to ASS conversion in the near future or is it something far away?

Another reason why I think that this issue needs your attention is that BE not only picks the wrong file but through auto-loading external audio it loads two different audio commentary tracks that belong to the movie and not to the featurette !!
This also is not only totally wrong but also causes 100% CPU load for a few seconds on my, unfortunately not to fast, system.

What's wrong ?? playback issue or width/height params ??

[P.J]

What's wrong ?? playback issue or width/height params ??

Both of Aspect ratio and Field order, I explained.
MPC doesn't read the metadata at all.

[Aleksoid1978]

I check this file:
Scan order : top field first fmpeg decode.
About AR - MPC-BE read correct value from container(.mov) header.
16:9 store in video stream and user can select what priority in internal video decoder properties.

Scan order is bottom field first in mediainfo.

[Aleksoid1978]

Scan order is bottom field first in mediainfo.

So what ?? As i say - ffmpeg's decoder detect(and use) scanorder is top field first.

[P.J]

Then it doesn't relate to MPC video decoder? =/

[Klaus1189]

MPC-BE crashes when it starts automatically in Fullscreen, but I think I got the reason for it - I disabled screensaver and it works fine for over 100+ files since then. If you need other settings which can be part of it, let me know.

I did a fresh new installation of Win10 Pro x64 1709 on my machine and again MPC-BE crashed sometimes when starting playback.
But after I disabled screensaver, I never got a crash anymore. The crash lets Win10 to pop up a small window which I have close but no more infos are given.

[huhn]

try the event viewer.

@P.J
these informations can be stored in more than one place. the stream it self doesn't seem to have the correct informations primaries and other stuff like that are missing or ffmpeg can't read them.

LAV video decoder+MPC MP4/MOV source plays it in correct 16:9 aspect ratio, only field order needs to be fixed.

Edit: I even remuxed it in mkv but it doesn't still care about the container's metadata =/

Who say that's MI show correct for scan order ??
If playback is good and don't have artefact - maybe all ok in ffmpeg decoder.

[Grimsdyke]

@ Klaus1189. I think you handle the German translation so I would like to let you know that in the 'command line help' there seem to be a tab missing at the /fullscreen switch.

@Devs. The /open switch helps a little bit in what I recently reported. Is there any way to have this switch always activated ??

[Klaus1189]

@ Klaus1189. I think you handle the German translation so I would like to let you know that in the 'command line help' there seem to be a tab missing at the /fullscreen switch.

What version are you using? Last time german translation was changed is r2944, so 1.5.1 stable and and all builds since then should be fine.
I use a high dpi screen and it got mixed up, so in r2792+r2797+r2798 it was redesigned
see: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1814933#post1814933

Thanks Klaus, I will always try to make sure that I use latest nightlys. O.K., here in my installation there is no space after /fullscreen - will check again with the next build.

[P.J]

Even google player shows correct aspect ratio.
No problem if you don't want to fix it. Then the container's info is worth nothing ;)

[Grimsdyke]

O.K., since I am not sure if what I posted is important enough for the devs to work on - here is my workaround in case anyone is interested.
'Run' =>
C:\Program Files\MPC-BE\mpc-be.exe E:\BDMV\STREAM\00003.m2ts /open ;Night of the living Dead_23.976

With this command the correct file is loaded paused which makes the additional loading of the external audio tracks much more smoothly !!
And since I have to have a few of these commands for other blu-rays that mpc-be has problems with on my system (see my DTS thread) I also added movie name, etc.

(Drive letters, locations, etc. may be different on other systems)

[Jtacdf]

Your 1080i file playbacks, with both MPC-BE/HC, in the correct 16:9 aspect ratio when "check/use stream aspect ratio" box is ticked with LAV filter/internal video decoder.
The file container's info is being read correctly. Nothing wrong with any player.

Hi! You remember you helped me with the positioning of the subs in the black bars (using madvr too)?

I've no problem with external subtitle, but when i use internal one (recognised as 'vobsub' in LAVSplitter), they're positioned differently and with different colours. I think because they've their custom settings within. Can i reposition these too?

Thanks in advance! :D

I don't think so. That's how it can happen that various subpictures appear e.g. on the top.
The easiest solution is to get srt version of those (or convert them). That's what I do. :)

[Klaus1189]

Feature request: add Checkbox in options OSD, so the user can enable or disable OSD messages which only indicate the player status, such as play, pause, stop.
I want to disable player status OSD but I want to see Chapter info in OSD. Now I have to disable complete OSD and can't see Chapter OSD when selecting chapter anymore

As v0lt said, it's "only" an indicator for the user whether hardware acceleration is used or not.

Btw, take a look at this thread (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1823603#post1823603) (I just created), maybe you haven't known about this yet. :)

I compiled source code with vs2017 + win10 14393 sdk + mingw64 environment(link (http://mpc-be.org/MSYS/MSYS_MinGW-w64_GCC_720_x86-x64.7z))

but I got 3 functions had already existed errors

after searching on google,I had resolved the problem.

removed the symbols in mingw library "libmingwex.a":

lib -remove:lib64_libmingwex_a-wcsnlen.o libmingwex.a

and then renamed the .lib file to the correct extension .a

finally we can compile the whole source code with no errors.

it's just 3 compiling errors during building the mpcbe project,such as

solution:

lib -remove:lib32_libmingwex_a-wcsnlen.o libmingwex.a

Is file-handling easy to find in the source code ? Maybe it's just enough to replace /play with /open ?

Ok, here comes my doubt. I use madvr and lavs.

And, don't know if it's right this way, i've all disabled in Internal Filters (Source Filters, Decoders Video/Audio).

It's better to enable Internal Filters? If yes, why?

Thanks :D

Only you can know why you use additional filters and why you turned off the built-in filters. I'm not interested in guessing.

Ehm, i followed a guide for the installation of mpc with madvr and lav, and the guide said i have to disable the internal filters. I'm not an expert so i followed a guide, and asking here too for better understand what's the use of them and if need them enabled/disabled.

Not any right thing to do, it's your choice. Since you have LAV installed then just keep it as it is.

[steakhutzeee]

I was just curious of what is the difference with that i. filters enabled. I was thinking that just because I have lav I can disable all of them like I did. Was just wondering if that's the right thing to do.

So using lav I don't need the hardware acceleration?

Inviato dal mio BLN-L21 utilizzando Tapatalk

[ryrynz]

LAV has hardware acceleration. Internal filters are just another implementation of FFmpeg. Sometimes LAV may deal with some files better other times the internal, if using madVR renderer I believe LAV is the better choice for it.
Internal is there so player can be used out of the box as it were.

Only audio and subs are, if I'm not wrong.

And why i should prefere the hw. to the sw. acceleration?

To configure lav, launch LAV configuration panel, instead of keep looking up on MPC-BE

Stop deinforming people!
1. I can configure LAV Video Decoder during playback from menu Play->Filters->LAV Video Decoder. In the same place, I can see the current mode of LAV Video Decoder.
2. I added LAV Video Decoder to external filters, and I can configure it by double-clicking.
3. If any hardware decoder is active (for LAV Video Decoder), then the GPU icon is always active for me.
4. The mode of the hardware decoder I can see in MPC-BE statistics.

I did exactly like you, but the GPU icon is not active. But:

In my system, there is NO difference between switching HW mode in "External Filter"-tab and that in Start menu. And changes made by right-click->Filters->LAV Video Decoder need RELOAD of the playback to take effect.

MPC-BE shows the GPU icon when anyone of the DXVA, DXVA copyback, CUVID and Intel Quicksync is active. I didn't find any problems.

[steakhutzeee]

So if HW acceleration is not active that button is not present at all? EDIT: Tried to disable it and icon is not showed, so ok, i've hw. acceleration active.

But...

I've the exact screen from v0lt from 'right click' -> Filters -> Lav Video.

But if open it from the start menu or from the mpc-be external filters list by double clicking it, i've the screen i posted. This: https://postimg.org/image/39izvfmn6j/

So now i don't know why there is this difference...

OK, I finally understand your question/problem.

When you launch the configuration panel from "External Filter"-tab or from start menu, the panel is launched independently from the playback, which means that it is NOT reflecting the playback status.

MPC-HC behaves the same, even it is using the LAV internally.

Just imagine, if you launched 2 players using LAV, one is playing H.264 and the other one is playing rmvb. The latter one isn't supported by DXVA. At this moment if you launch the panel from start menu, it is nonsense to show any active status in the panel because the status of the two players are different(One with DXVA one without DXVA). The panel would not show the current status unless you launch it from the playback options.("Right click" -> Filters -> LAV Video)

It is not possible and also not realistic for LAV to show the status from different players, which is not directly accessible.

Long time MPC-BE user. I am seeing a severe lag in certain mkv movies with when I try to play them. However, if I extract the AAC and recode it again as AAC and use MKV merge to put it back into the file, then the movie plays fine.

Is this a codec issue? Has something changed the codec on my machine that could be causing this? BTW all those files play fine in VLC. So clearly something is different about MPC-BE that does not like that AAC format.

Please let me know if there is a fix for this. Thank you.

No need mediainfo - need problem files.

[beter]

Recently I encounter a very strange and annoying problem.

1, I use Mactype on my Windows 7
2, I use it as a system service
3, I use MPC-BE 64bit as default player

Situation 1: When I use a 32 bit program to open a video(not audio) file, like from download manager of 32 bit version of Firefox, the launched MPC-BE x64 would not launch with Mactype, and disappear after a few seconds without any dump created.

Situation 2: When I use a program which is not loaded with Mactype(eg. when Windows Explorer is launched earlier than Mactype service), and open a video(not audio) file from it(by double click, not by drag and drop), the MPC-BE is launched with Mactype, but it also disappears after a few seconds without any dump created.

I am not sure if there is something can be done on MPC-BE, as it is probably something related to Mactype. But I am just curious, is there anyone else has similar problems?

[canbonbon]

No need mediainfo - need problem files.
Hello Aleksoid1978, here is the problem file.
http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/PCA7DI9Q/74dt8xrtyb.mkv_links

It works fine in VLC on the same PC but in MPC-BE it runs in slow-mo on my machine. The original file was in H264 but the size was larger. So I converted it to HEVC to reduce the size. The Player has issue with both formats.

But turns out (and I have said that in my msg before) its just the Audi. If I extract the audio and convert it again to the same format and merge it back to the MKV file, then it works great. So I was wondering if my machine has some Audio decoder messed up somehow.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

canbonbon - perfect playback, no drops, no A/V desync.

[chros]

in MPC-BE it runs in slow-mo on my machine.
It works fine here too with latest stable (1.5.1) using MPC Audio renderer:
- with all internal splitters/filters
- with LAV external splitters/filters

So something wrong on your OS. Check the filter list during playback to see what is involved. (right click -> filters)

Thanks I suspected that. Clearly something has recently gone wrong with my PC. I could have either installed something or updated something that could be causing this issue. Any thoughts on how go to about checking that? The worst part is VLC works just fine. So clearly, there is something that MPC is using that is messed up or is incompatible.

If you have any suggestions on how to debug/fix this, then I would really appreciate.

[Klaus1189]

VLC uses only internal stuff, MPC-BE uses Directshow, remove crap like codecpacks and similar if installed. These only mess up the system and help nobody.

[cremor]

How do I configure MPC-BE to only show default or forced subtitles by default? I've found the check options for default and forced in the subtitles sub menu, but those seem to completely hide subtitles that don't match that option. I just want a setting for the subtitle that is selected by default, but still want to be able to change the subtitle manually.

If there isn't an option for that, how do I make MPC-BE honor the subtitle options of LAV splitter? Because right now it doesn't matter what I configure there, MPC-BE seems to always select the same subtitles anyway.

[Aleksoid1978]

You can disable internal audio/subtitles selector.

[cremor]

Which option do you mean exactly? I've tried "Ignore embedded subtitles" but that completely disables the subtitle switching GUI and shortcuts, so that won't allow me to change subtitles. At least not without going deep into the filters submenus which is not an option for me.
I just want the defaults set by either LAV or MPC-BE (configured to my preferences). Everything else - GUI and shortcuts for switching during the movie - should stay the same.

[sneaker_ger]

Try to un-tick "Default track preference" check box in Options->Playback.

[cremor]

That's it, now my LAV settings are used. Thanks!
Don't know why I didn't see that checkbox before.

[Knocks]

After upgrading to MPC BE 1.5.1 (build 2985), the player stopped remembering the "Touch window from inside" setting. After the upgrade, I have to select that option manually every time I want to play a video in full screen in order to avoid black bars. This used to happen automatically with the previous build. Am I missing something?

It is turned on. There is difference for the worse if I turn it off. By comparison the audio level is significantly higher with VLC. The problem does not arise with mp4 files, but only with mkv files.

Is the "Reopen File" command still supposed to work? I can find it in Options -> Player -> Keys (assigned to Ctrl + E by default), but it doesn't work for me.

[ResCogitans]

Thanks for the reply, Aleksoid1978. I just noticed it works as long as one doesn't exit the player, e.g. "Ctrl + C" followed by "Ctrl + E" works as expected.

But after closing and re-opening the player "Ctrl + E" does nothing, for me at least. (This is not the behavior I was used to in MPC-HC, where it works in this case.)

Although I hate the new Daemon tools lite, and have rolled back to the old version, I have a small question

Is Daemon tools 4.49 the last version supported by MPC-BE's "Open ISO" option on Windows 7?

[huhn]

have you tried to install the windows version so you get the same functionality as windows 8+?

[beter]

I guess you mean this one
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38780


I'm not reporting bug, I understand it is not a good idea to continue supporting a software that keep changing its mechanism. And I'm just asking a question. No one would like to install multiple softwares that do the same thing.

I'm asking it because the Daemon tool lite 5.0.1 is using the old UI(unlike 10.0+), but the "Open ISO" option disappeared when I updated my Daemon Tool lite from 4.46.1 to that version. After I downgraded it to 4.49.1, it is shown again.

I had never heard of DXVA Checker until you mentioned about it. My machine has integrated Intel HD 530 and dedicated NVIDIA Quadro M1000M, as you have already seen from the screenshots.
Why does DXVA Checker display info only about Intel HD 530 and nothing about NVIDIA Quadro?

Why does DXVA Checker display info only about Intel HD 530 and nothing about NVIDIA Quadro?Because it is inactive. Also, laptops have a hybrid graphics, in which there are many nuances.

Being that I am close to making MPC-BE my default player, I'd appreciate if someone could be honest: is there anything at all that MPC-HC is better at?

[jkauff]

Being that I am close to making MPC-BE my default player, I'd appreciate if someone could be honest: is there anything at all that MPC-HC is better at?
Not that I've been able to find. Maybe stability, since regular updates aren't happening at the moment. MPC-BE seems to be a more complex piece of software under the hood, and it's updated more often (both stable and nightlies) so it's not surprising to see more reports of bugs. The bugs are fixed very quickly, though, so not really a problem.

MPC-HC used to update its internal LAV filters with new features in the LAV nightlies, but that's obviously not happening anymore. Since LAV filters are external in MPC-BE, you can use the LAV nightlies yourself (very useful right now if you use HDR sources).

I made the switch a couple of months ago and don't see any reason to go back.

[ontherocks]

Being that I am close to making MPC-BE my default player, I'd appreciate if someone could be honest: is there anything at all that MPC-HC is better at?
For any software, it's support that matters the most.
MPC BE development guys have taken support to the next level. You cannot beat their blazing fast bug fixes. I have never seen them denying any request unless it is technically unfeasible. These are some humble guys. Their commitment to this software is really amazing. Kudos to them.

Why ??

[MokrySedeS]

Being that I am close to making MPC-BE my default player, I'd appreciate if someone could be honest: is there anything at all that MPC-HC is better at?

There are at least a couple of major things for me:

1. MPC-HC has working DVB-T implementation.
2. MPC-HC can automatically download subtitles for you.
3. In MPC-HC I can set different values of audio delay for each resolution.
4. User interface in MPC-HC may not be the prettiest, but it's consistent. MPC-BE looks unfinished because some elements (like playlist) look very different than the main window.

Please correct me if anything changed because this is based on a ~last year comparison.

[Klaus1189]

Why ??

I thought, that you maybe like it. I never heard of it until Moritz Bunkus transfered his project to GitLab.

Hey fellas I was a MPC-HC user for past five years or so, but as its stopped development I switched to MPC-BE and I just one or two queries.

You see audio is an important thing to me, so in MPC-HC I simply used the Normalise option, so for the movies/shows it used to equalise the loudness, which was a great feature for me. But in MPC-BE I can't see any such option, could anyone help me find it? I do see an Auto volume control option but I don't think its the same.

I do love the Mix channels to 7.1 option though, freaking awesome.

Has anybody played protected DVDs on MPC-BE/HC? I often get garbled video or no video or macrovision failed errors with identical playbacks. I'm wondering what's up here. Win10_64 1709.

Also, does anybody notice that DXVA/CUDA/QVS playback loses sync when using 64x lav? It happens even with internal filters, but doesn't happen with software. When I playback at 2x speed for an hour, I notice that lip movements don't line up with the voice, but the information toolbar think's it's synced. I think it has something to do with the x64 dss2 avs filter showing 24000/1001 fps video as 10000000/417083 fps when using DXVA/CUDA/QVS. Who do I even talk to about this, considering that even internal filters in MPC-BE are affected?

It is important what video renderer is used. For example, Haali renderer has problems with Macrovision. Everything should be normal on the standard settings.
If DVD-Video is in the ISO file, then the DVD emulator type is of importance. If I remember correctly, then I had problems with DAEMON Tools Lite.

If A/V desync happened only with LAV Video Decoder in DXVA mode - problem in LAV Video Decoder. If it's happened with internal filters too - show you filter list while playback.

Yeah, I found that out too, but I don't even have Haali installed. I've used System Default all the way down to the Sync Renderer (with all bit-depths on custom presenter), and I'm still having this problem.

Just to be clear on the method: I am playing a css-encrypted, commercial DVD through an internal DVD drive with bus encryption. When I rip, mount the iso, and then play what's mounted, the playback is correct.

I take it that nobody has this problem. I'm due for a fresh install of Windows anyways, so that'll probably fix it.

If A/V desync happened only with LAV Video Decoder in DXVA mode - problem in LAV Video Decoder. If it's happened with internal filters too - show you filter list while playback.

You're right. I just checked internal DXVA h264 again and it seems that I was wrong the first time -- I will take this report to a more appropriate place. Sorry.

Is there a problem with the YouTube viewer code that is preventing 1080p60 video from working? I'm just getting 720p30 now on most 1080p60 stuff.

Example YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OaLCKwPt28

I've tried both 1.5.2 (build 3148) Beta and also 1.5.2 (build 3261) Beta and both feed me 720p30 video.

In the YouTube section of the options I've set "Use the built-in web page parser" and have set it to MP4 and 1080p with 60FPS checked.

Basic resolutions(360p, 720p, 1080p)are always provided in both H.264 and VP9 formats by Youtube himself to avoid compatibility issues(like browsers without/disabled VP9 support, smartphone without VP9 hardware decoding, etc.)

[mytbyte]

All final deliverables are encoded from the original publisher's source (whatever it may be), h.264 is not re-encoded from VP9 deliverable.

Does anyone of you know how to set the image scaling in MPC BE the same as in MPC HC? My point is that the native resolution of the opened video should be opened in 1: 1 aspect ratio, and in full screen mode it would adjust to the width of the screen. After clicking on the stop, the window has to return to its default size, ie a small square with the logo inside. In MPC HC, I have no problem with these settings, in MPC BE something is not good.

Yes, I just unselected it and it seems to work, weird because it worked fine before like that before I reinstalled all the programs a month or two ago. My subs used to come up yellow, now they come up white, do you know how to change that? I tried where I thought I would change it, but they still white.

There is a potential audio issue I would like to report. The center channel is missing when I play back DTS-HD MA 6.1 audio tracks.

I have MPC-BE configured so it sends multichannel PCM to my prepro, which downmixes the channels to stereo (I run a 2.0 setup).

---

MPC-BE Audio Properties:

Audio renderer: MPC Audio Renderer
WASAPI mode: Exclusive
Allow bit-exact output: Yes
Use system layout channels: No (Windows is set to 7.1)

MPC-BE Sound Processing:

Channel Mixer: All options unchecked

---

The problem isn't there if I have MPC-BE do the downmixing.

[Megalith]

I just noticed that MPC-BE is showing the input and output for a 6.1 surround track as "7," even though it should read "6.1." This leads me to believe that it is definitely a player-related issue.

I don't know how to set picture scaling in MPC BE to make it work the way it does in MPC HC?
I'd like videos to open in windows scaled 1:1 to their actual resolution, and to have it scaled to screen width in full screen mode.

I'd like the window to revert to its normal size when I click stop - a small square with the logo inside it.

It works like that in MPC HC with no issues at all, but I can't seem to make it work in BE.

One question: As I see it, the border width and shadow depth parameters are actually floating point numbers; at least they are so in the ini and it worked fine when I changed the border width to 1.5 in the ini (which to me is more pleasing than 1 or 2). But there is a problem: Sometimes when I update some other option, the value in the ini is set to the integral number (namely 1) that the GUI actually displays. Could the GUI expose that these values are floats?

[v0lt]

Could the GUI expose that these values are floats?No. The GUI sets these options only as an integer.

I use MPC-BE on 200 % scaling, and also here the integer refers to a "pixel line" around the box. Why do you want floats? A display can't display half pixels. Am I wrong?

[mkver]

These values already are floats in the ini. Changing them in the ini to a non-integral float has the desired effect. So the internal subtitle renderer already works with floats internally, it's just the GUI that exposes them as integers.
One can give the impression of half-pixels by not only use two colors (usually "pure" black and "pure" white), but also intermediate values. See this picture (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/88/Aliasing_a.png) to get the idea. (There is also another method to do subpixel-rendering that depends on the exact pixel geometry of your display; this is usually used to display fonts, but I don't think that this is used for subtitles by any media player.)
You can test this yourself by setting the value in the ini/the registry. It's the "SPDefaultStyle" entry.

Do I need Windows 10 or a new cpu (I'm using haswell) if I have a 960 GTX and plan to get a 1080i? Can I continue to use Windows 7?
I'm playing back already ripped 4k UHD video files. My 960 has only 2 gigs of ram and I figure the 1080i should play back much smoother.

[sneaker_ger]

No, you don't need a new GPU for playing (decrypted) 4K HEVC. Only if you want to play e.g. 4K Netflix or UHD Blu-Ray with official software (PowerDVD, Edge browser or Netflix app on Win 10).

Do you have problems? What renderer are you using? If you use madvr try to reset settings to default, then maybe try lower GPU queue sizes (because of only 2 GB). Did you enable DXVA/GPU decoding?

[autobengal]

I'm using madvr. There is a slight ripping once in a while watching 4k. I presume it's my weak video card. But actually everything works pretty well.
I'm using MPC-BE and I don't see a place to click enable DXVA/GPU decoding .
I just don't want to use Windows 10 unless I absolutely have to.

Hi, guys.
Using the latest beta dont let me drag subtitles to the player.

How can I solve this ? :(

[Klaus1189]

Did it work before?
I never did this before by myself. You can mux the video- and the subtitle file with MKVToolNix to a new MKV file.
Or you simply rename the subtitle according the videofile's filename. I don't know if there are differences allowed that MPC-BE still recognizes the external subtitle belonging to the videofile.
Something like VIDEO.mkv and VIDEO_ger.srt / VIDEO ger.srt / VIDEO-german.srt / ...
I'm sure the devs or anybody else knows that :)
