Media Player Classic - BE Win32/x64

[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?

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

That's correct. Here's a small test case (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1808005#post1808005) for it in 2 groups.

Interesting, it works like a charm here with r2859 and quickly trying all the previously mentioned tests (see my signature for my setup).

Is the behaviour of the search bar changed?
The bar shows the file title instead of file name even when I unchecked the "Replace file name with title" option.

[v0lt]

@beter
Yes. Aleksoid1978 changed it in r2846.

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.

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.

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:

For me it's working excelent, i don't know whats wrong at you side ...

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]

Do not touch any options in the shortcut!

Interesting, I indeed tested this part with 2 channel audio.
Can you upload/link a sample with 5ch?

[salam2009]

I did, that's why I said (or leaving them alone) caused a problem.
Also, what about the 2nd issue?

[chros]

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.

Do you mean I should reinstall it without adding an external filters, or replace it with another codec pack? (I don't have Nvidia 3D Vision driver installed by the way)
Also, is there anything I can do to resolve issue #1 of high DPI display?
Thanks a lot!

[stax76]

What is too small? I never noticed a issue at 288 DPI...

[salam2009]

My desktop scale is at 250% on 4K resolution (I don't know how much is that in DPI).

[stax76]

You said there is something too small but never what is too small.

[salam2009]

Did you see my first post which has screenshots of all the 3 display issues including the "too small" part?

[stax76]

except for the small cd cover art looks normal

[salam2009]

That iTunes cover resolution is 604x604 which supposed to be larger by half!
This means that 400x400 cover would be smaller by 2x than normal 400px.

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]

Hmm. My OS is set to 2 ch, 24 bit, 192kHz, but otherwise the same. I also use latest external LAV nightly.
I use 0.70.2.66-git .

I haven't tried with just a sound track,
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?

@P.J
Fixed in r2867, but only for internal video decoder.

I hope that there is a more universal solution from MS, but I can be wrong.

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 ??

Latest official Realtek HD Audio drivers break audio for me completely on my Z170 mainboard. I'd call this a sick joke by this company.
