Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) - v1.7.13

[vBm]

^ But today is 2013/05/13,

the lite builds were last-updated on 2013/05/04,

and info.md says:
:confused:

info.md wasn't updated. Lite builds are made once per week and for some reason script failed to make a lite build. Our main and only concern is and always will be regular release builds and standalone filters. (stuff you can grab from our website)

Lite and ICL13 are just testings, they can vanish any time. Depends on X's will ofc.

Thanks for the clarification.

[vBm]

Thanks for the clarification.
info.md (http://xhmikosr.1f0.de/mpc-hc/Info.md) updated finally.



The Lite builds are built every Sunday at 01:00 (GMT+2).
The ICL13 builds are postponed for the time being until a few bugs are fixed in the compiler.

Is there a reason why this feature https://trac.mpc-hc.org/ticket/1732 was never added? I'd find it pretty useful. There's a key for AR presets, why not PnS?

Have been using MPC-HC.1.6.8.7163.x86 without the process remaining issue for a few days now. Thanks!Verified here as well. Issue is gone.

@Devs:
I've noticed that when I change the subtitle font via options, the charset isn't initialized on the font choosing dialog.
Looked in the code a bit and I think this will solve it:

PPageSubStyle.cpp

Change:
void CPPageSubStyle::OnBnClickedButton1()
{
LOGFONT lf;
lf <<= m_stss;

CFontDialog dlg(&lf, CF_SCREENFONTS | CF_INITTOLOGFONTSTRUCT | CF_FORCEFONTEXIST | CF_SCALABLEONLY);
...

To:
void CPPageSubStyle::OnBnClickedButton1()
{
UpdateData();
LOGFONT lf;
lf <<= m_stss;
if (m_iCharset >= 0) {
lf.lfCharSet = (BYTE)m_charset.GetItemData(m_iCharset);
}

CFontDialog dlg(&lf, CF_SCREENFONTS | CF_INITTOLOGFONTSTRUCT | CF_FORCEFONTEXIST | CF_SCALABLEONLY);
...

I couldn't check the change, since I don't have a dev environment installed. :/

Fake apps on Windows App Store (http://mpc-hc.org/2013/05/16/fake-apps/)

It has come to our attention that there are several fake apps on the Windows App Store that use our program’s name.
We are not publishing MPC-HC on Windows App Store yet, so any programs you find there should be considered fake and should be reported as they violate the license.

Don’t forget, that our official builds, both the stable and the beta builds, are digitally signed (http://mpc-hc.org/2013/02/25/binaries-are-signed/).

Armada was doing some work (https://github.com/Armada651/mpc-hc/commit/bcd35f45bb83b38438f4731ed6c9cd8ec902652b) regarding that but it's not yet pushed to main repo.

Thanks! :D This bug annoyed me for a long time now...

[vBm]

Nightly builds have been migrated to our server (https://trac.mpc-hc.org/wiki/nightlybuilds).

These are the only supported builds because the developers can debug those builds and the building environment is trusted.

Note that although we provide ICL13 nightly builds, they are not supported officially and should not be used for bug reporting.

Guys,
I am using Windows 8, and my previous motherboard was toasted, it was Abit IP35 Pro. So I bought the Intel DG41TY, and my config is now 3 GB DDR2, Q9450, and my video card 8800 GTS 512 MB G92 I had to not install, since it was blocking the x1 capture card called Blackmagic. Later I discovered this is a very good video card, even though it's from 2007, most cheap cards from today don't match in performance.

Since I am using the onboard video from this Intel I expected worse results, but I am having a problem that is only happening with MPC-HC, not VLC.

When I play any 720p video, no matter if I use LAV or ffdshow, the image has a strange effect, as if it was blinking to me several times, after a few seconds. I had to use Video Mixing Renderer 7 (renderless) due to the fact that VMR-9 and EVR custom are not working. EVR can work with low-res videos, but if I try to use with a 720p file it will freeze.

I was using EVR custom before I ditched the 8800 video card.

What kinds of settings I need to turn on or off to prevent this from happening? I am also playing this MKV 720p file with one SRT tiny subtitle created for it (it has the same name from the video, so MPC automatically recognizes).

I tried playing that video using VLC, but didn't noticed the flickering. Which means this is only happening with MPC. Do you recommend using LAV instead of ffdshow or it won't matter here, and is there something I should do to fix this?

Edit: it seems the answer was choosing 2D surfaces instead of 3D. I will see if it works now.

[vBm]

Patch landed (https://github.com/mpc-hc/mpc-hc/commit/12722c40571b9fda8922afb2cad2613ec1b3ac96) into main repo. It'll be available in tonight's nightly (http://nightly.mpc-hc.org/).

[tahaa7]

Can anyone please explain what does ReClock's "Use built-in estimator" setting in Video Settings mean? Thanks.

[JanWillem32]

Perene, maybe I can help a bit. I'm familiar with blinking issues during video playback. Does the blinking issue occur when using plain EVR and VMR-9? If so, it's a an issue of your video card and/or its driver.
It could also be the VSync options. These can be disabled in the "View", "Renderer Settings" menu.
If you don't mind using test builds of a renderer in development, you can try one of my recent ones (the support thread I made is on the same board of this forum). I made pretty good progress on improving rendering performance, maybe that will help in this case.

Reclock's built-in estimator is primarily to enable detection of VFR (Variable Frame Rate) videos during playback, but it's also used as a fallback when DirectShow detection is either broken or fails to detect the correct frame rate before playback begins.

[Armada]

We've completed a major update to the D3DFullscreen option for the VMR9, EVR-CP and Sync renderers. It now allows you to switch between fullscreen and windowed mode like you would with regular fullscreen. Now we require some users who use this option regularly to test it so we can eliminate any bugs before the changes are integrated.

If you want to help you can get the test builds here: https://github.com/mpc-hc/mpc-hc/pull/89

Please disable the graph worker thread in Options > Playback, as it will freeze when the worker thread is enabled currently.

Is it something like madVR's exclusive mode now?

EDIT:
https://github.com/Armada651/mpc-hc/commit/8bc97635fa03acca6b78ea7d738aed65930011f5
** D3DFullscreen can now switch to windowed mode (just like "regular" fullscreen mode)
** D3DFullscreen support for madVR has been disabled (it already has exclusive mode)
(to make it clearer)

[nevcairiel]

No, its not automatic like madVR, you can simply switch manually while the player is running.

[Octo-puss]

I am not sure I understand the change, and I absolutely don't understand the wording of It now allows you to switch between fullscreen and windowed mode like you would with regular fullscreen..
I never had problems switching a movie to fullscreen. I am missing something here - could someone explain it for an idiot?

[fvisagie]

Previously D3D fullscreen needed Ctrl+C to exit amongst others.

Cheers,
Francois

[Octo-puss]

Guess I have no idea what D3D fullscreen is and how (+why) to activate it. Alt+Enter always did the job for me.

[Armada]

It's an advanced feature which you can enable in the Output options that gives you more control over VSync, but most people have no use for it. It was just very user unfriendly which is why I wanted to change it and it allowed me to get more familiar with the renderers.

Yes, yes :)

Problem that frame size stored in header = 960, but real frame size is 320 ... i do not know how is possible and what to do !!

Not a big problem, using lav solve it. :)

It's normal playback. I'm talk about broken sound ...

[clsid]

Why not bind that functionality to the 3 keys that have not been used yet? Alt+7, Alt+5 and Alt+9?That would be unnecessary and bloated imo. I highly doubt anyone needs rotation with small increments in two directions, certainly not after the proposed changes.

Maybe there is a problem between your ISP and mpc-hc.org.

I propose to remove the "Down-sample to 44100 Hz" option.

Don't think so. Can't be reached from Optimum or Verizon.

I agree, seems useless by now.

Check it from one more location with http://isup.me/mpc-hc.org — and it is accessible via Deutsche Telekom too. Try a traceroute to both mpc-hc.org and 37.34.55.187; if the second works, but the first can't resolve the name, it may just be an issue with DNS servers.

The traceroute resolves the name but it times out with both mpc-hc.org and 37.34.55.187.

Something very strange is going on. I can reach the site using an anonymous browser but I cant' get to it using Firefox or Internet Explorer. The connection keeps timing out.

[nevcairiel]

Sounds like you're using a proxy that doesnt like that site.

How can I check for that?

Edit: I went into options and changed from "Use system proxy settings" to "No proxy" and it still timed out. What else should I try?

Edit2: The trace route gets to 12 hops (last one in Switzerland) and times out at the 13th.

Talk to your ISP's support. :/

I did. They can get to it. It seems I'm the only one who can't.

[Mercury_22]

1. If you have a router reset it to default factory settings
2. Use other browser than IE BUT make sure it's not using IE's proxy settings e.g. Firefox go to Options->Advanced-> Network->Connection settings-> select auto detect proxy
3. Also check your firewall and hosts file (%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts)

P.S. I recommend you to install Latest Nightly x64 from FF (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/) cause it's the most INcompatible with plugins, add-ons and other apps which are possibly messing your connection
