Media Player Classic - BE Win32/x64

@Siso
I did not understand what you mean.

I meant, for the subtitle row to be more up or more down. Line spacing.

[v0lt]

@Siso
There is no such possibility.

@Siso
There is no such possibility.

I see.

This functional is not present. But to try to make it, I need a small sample with multi-subtitles (.srt) and a good example of 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.

[stax76]

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

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.

I have set scaling to 200% in Windows 10 and because of that the command line list isn't displayed right anymore.
see here two screenshots (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4y5u0gBKYqbUHk0T3A0ellIa28?usp=sharing)

That's right - it's work DPI scaling. What's wrong ??

[Klaus1189]

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.

[Klaus1189]

When playing a mkv-file with embedded VTT subtitle stream MPC-BE crashes. I sent a sample @v0lt and @Aleksoid1978.
I think it caused by filter "MPC Matroska Source"

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.

[ryrynz]

Kasper's new drawing code in HC coming to BE?

[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.

[Klaus1189]

Updated german translation (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4y5u0gBKYqbZy1VWmdWX3BoaVU/view?usp=sharing) based on r2801

Can you please increase the size of these two buttons in Video decoder options -> too small when using 200% scaling in Windows 10
See here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4y5u0gBKYqbSEkyeDMwWTZCT0k/view?usp=sharing)

BTW: Is there still support for Windows XP. I ask because I saw sometimes "Windows XP" in translation file and thought that I have to remove these parts, when there is no XP support any more

[v0lt]

There is no support for XP since 1.5.0.x.

Updated translation in r2802. Fixed Mpeg2DecFilter in r2803.

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.

Nice review on videohelp btw :D

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]

No, it's same:)

[v0lt]

@Megalith
There is no coercion. If you want to use it or not, decide for yourself. Same with LAV Filters. :p

@Klaus1189, @beter
I corrected and updated.

Works fine. Just disable internal MPC-BE filters and install LAV filters.

MPC-BE video codecs are more powerful ;)
