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

[LigH]

Using a Windows Server 2003 for development? ... Interesting.

It shall certainly be equal to Windows XP, but who knows if you have to add specific MS libraries to the development system or install/enable tools not usual on a Server system.

[clsid]

You can fix it by adding "mkdir obj" (without quotes) in the script, above the gcc call.

[Raylan Givens]

As it seems in version 7760 seeking back and forth has been fixed... Smooth without dropping frames. Nice one!

[Superb]

Yeah, seeking feels great now. (and yes- I've noticed "Fast Seek" is on by default now)

[Raylan Givens]

I didn't notice... So, that did the difference. Previously ( before 7760 ) was it the same? I mean, could I turn fast seek on in order to fix the issue?

Incidentally, the 5.1 mixing still doesn't work as in 1.68 version. It doesn't work at all, I'd say. I can "downmix" native 5.1 to stereo, though...

+ Playlist: Add a "Move to Recycle Bin" right click option, with optional keyboard shortcut

Would be too dificult to add one more command which include subtitles? I mean, directly delete the movie along with her subtitles...

Devs rarely read D9. Best bet is to open a ticket (https://trac.mpc-hc.org/newticket) if you want bug reporting or feature requesting.

Respectfully, I disagree. IMHO a media player should not have any of the following capabilities of a file manager: create, rename, move or delete files.

That already exist in MPC-HC btw.

[dansrfe]

Would it be beneficial to include a "Next/Previous Title" as a shortcut key?

For example, when I play the Inception bluray, the first title is the one which includes director's commentary, however when I just want to watch the film I have to right click and manually select the next title which plays the film only.

Thanks for the info.
And then I'm glad that I didn't upgrade it yet. :)

Hi guys,

quick question....does anyone know of an external filter or plugin that allows MPC-HC to play .iso files directly without the need for conversion?

[LigH]

Because an ISO file as disk image can contain "anything" (DVD-Video content, Blu-ray content, or just a collection of different files with or without any audio/video file in directory branches of uncertain depth), I doubt that "an ISO file" can be a generally acceptable source. What shall MPC-HC do if you use e.g. the install image of a Linux distro, what shall it play?

Better mount an ISO image with a virtual CD/DVD/BD drive like Daemon Tools. If this image has a recognized structure, then it will be playable in the "File — Open Disk" submenu. If not, navigate to a playable file.

Or instead of Daemon Tools use something more lightweight and open sourced -> http://sourceforge.net/projects/wincdemu/

[Aleksoid1978]

Switching from bitmap(HDMV/DVB) subtitles to text does not work properly, the output text subtitle is broken(size at position).
Short sample - http://aleksoid.voserver.net/Sample/Subtitle/PGS/mpchc-pgs-sample.mkv

But it's happened with any MPEG-TS + Sub + external .str/.ass subtitle.

[onomatopellan]

Regression: Since 24th Aug commits, Y and U keys did stop working.

@onomatopellan

Are you sure? It just doesn't do silly 5 second jump now. When you have subtitles (external) loaded, jump works fine.

[Superb]

@onomatopellan: Works for me.

Thanks for the link I ended up trying it and it works pretty good. Still, for convenience sake I'll probably use good ole VLC to watch them directly.

PowerDVD also plays DVDs and BDs stored in an ISO image, but of course you have to pay for it. I assume both programs look inside the ISO for a VIDEO_TS or BDMV folder and then extract the files on the fly as needed. I'm sure someone could code something similar for MPC-HC if they had the time and the inclination, but that's the problem with software created by volunteers on their own time.

That's true but it never worked with embedded subtitles. At least not is near past.

Now I'm using MPC-HC.1.7.0.7715.x86.VS2012 (build from 23 Aug). It's the last build where Y and U work with embedded subtitles.

I hope this can be fixed in recent builds because it's a really useful feature.

[kasper93]

@onomatopellan: Note that it just do 5 second jump when you are using embedded subtitles. This never worked. Same as subresync bar doesn't work with embedded subtitles and you can't save them, only subtitles from queue will be saved to file.

I'm just saying that this is not a regression. It just never worked. :) If you want to do 5 sec jump just use arrows.

:eek:
You are right, it's always jumping 5 seconds. And here I was thinking I was jumping to previous subtitle. Thanks for clarifying this.

[Superb]

So now...
With external subtitles loaded: jumps to the next previous subtitle.
With no subtitles loaded: jumps 5 seconds back or forward.
With embedded subtitles loaded: does nothing.

Not true...

[Raylan Givens]

First time I notice MPC using even less CPU resources than Potplayer... I'm talking about 1.70 versions and with XVID ( avi ) files... As it seems they should have implemented some nice perf-related patches.

Miracle... Anyone else noticed the same? It can't be my imagination...

[jkauff]

Were you using LAV before as an external filter, or were you using the internal filters? LAV has an option for hardware decoding using QuickSync or CUVID, maybe you have it turned on and didn't know it. In any case, LAV software decoding doesn't use a lot of CPU on my box--it's pretty efficient.

[kasper93]

Miracle... Anyone else noticed the same? It can't be my imagination...

We use LAV Filtes as internal filters now and yeah this is very big improvement for speed and compatibility with H/W decoding :)

[bwlonsdale]

I live in PAL land and I'm using reclock, MPC-HC and (would like to continue) using madVR.

The new nightly build doesn't work when the automatic refresh rate change is in use with MPC-HC. I just get a black screen. I get the following error on the screen from madVR:

creating direct3D device failed (80070005).

Not sure if the error lies in madVR which worked fine on the latest stable build or if MPC-HC needs looking at.

I'm using madVR because the image quality is better but also because of another bug/issue. When using the custom EVR presenter, if watching certain SD material (in an MKV container, but not tried any other) , there is a rather ugly thick green line down the right hand edge of the display.

I've recently converted a bunch of old Firefly episodes using Handbrake and they all exhibit the green line and a couple of the films I've done also do the same thing.


[EDIT] Just been checking things out in Handbrake and it appears a bug in there has caused the source of the issue with the green line. Despite the cropping being set to auto, it appears to have retained an earlier crop setting and chopped off a bit of the video at either edge when it shouldn't have - so the resulting width was 706 instead of 720. I'm guessing the missing video on either side is being populated with a nice green colour instead of black. I've seen the issue a couple times before when watching TV in media center (some rather low quality broadcasts) so I guess it's not something you guys have control over. Another AMD bug most likely...

Well, if I've missed the past 2 sentences the characters said, it's nice to be able to jump there directly. Useful feature for a viewer.
From a subtitle translator/"syncer" point of view, this is great for last review before release.

Not true...Why not? I've tested it and that's what it did. Or perhaps I've skipped some "if condition"?

[kasper93]

5 second jump was removed some time ago.

[v_spec]

Is there a list of default keys for MPC-HC?

I cleared the default key for "Quick File Open…" because I have it associated with a different function but I remember there was another way to activate the Quick File Open function. Like how the Esc key is not used in MPC-HC but when in full screen pressing Esc will exit full screen and pause the video. I remember there was such a function for Quick File Open as well but I can't remember right now off the top of my head.

[Snowknight26]

Alt+F -> Enter when not in full screen mode.

[v_spec]

Thanks for the reply, but nope, that's not it. It opens the "Open" window directly. I forgot exactly what I did but it happens from time to time when I 'm dragging and dropping videos into MPC-HC really fast and switching between active windows and somehow the "Open" dialogue pops up in MPC-HC. I stumbled upon this in the past but never made of note of it because I felt it wasn't relevant at the time.

[Snowknight26]

That key combination selects Quick Open File, which is exactly what shows the standard Windows open file dialog box.

Why don't you just reassign a new key combination instead of searching for functionality that probably doesn't even exist?

[v_spec]

I'm not trying to use the function, but instead trying to figure out what causes it. Trying to reproduce the steps of a bug, if it is one. It's not important, just one of those insignificant things I stumbled upon back then and can't reproduce now. I'm sure to run into this again and I'll report back when I do.

Some strange behaviour:

I have 2 displays (monitor & tv) and use madVR (without exclusive fullscreen mode) for most of the time. When playing a file from the playlist on display 1 (monitor) and switch to fullscreen on display 2 (tv), after the playback of the current file the player closes itself WITHOUT playing the following files from the playlist.

It seems like using madVRs exclusive fullscreen mode fixes this behaviour... BUT sometimes the player closes itself too, after manually switching from one file on the playlist to another, EVEN with other video renderers (like Haali or EVR Cust.). So i would assume: this is not directly related to the video renderer itself. Maybe kind of a timing problem!?


EDIT:
I did some testing... and it seems like this is only happening, while using the internal LAV Video Decoder. There are no such problems with ffdshow or CoreAVC as video decoders.


EDIT2:
It's the same with the external LAV Video Decoder. Tested: 0.58.0 - 0.58.2. With pre-1.7.0-mpc-hc-versions everything works fine.


EDIT3:
Some more testing with different media splitters: no problem with Haali Media Splitter and LAV Video Decoder! Final conclusion: LAV Video Decoder + LAV Splitter + MPC-HC 1.7.0 are having some strange problems together... at least: on my system!

And I presume "Close after playback" is turned off? We're talking about a crash here?

Please make a ticket on our bugtracker (http://trac.mpc-hc.org) and if it is a crash attach the minidump if you have it.

[Tom Keller]

And I presume "Close after playback" is turned off?
"After Playback" is set to "Exit", because i want the player to close after the last(!) file of the playlist is played. At least it was its normal behavior in the past... and it still is with other filters than LAV Filters.

After changing the "After Playback" setting to "Do Nothing", at the first glance the problem doesn't occur. But on the following tests, the player still closes itself after playing the first file on the list while using the LAV Filters.


We're talking about a crash here?

Please make a ticket on our bugtracker (http://trac.mpc-hc.org) and if it is a crash attach the minidump if you have it.
It seems like it is not a crash. There's no error message... no minidump file is created - the player simply closes itself!

I'll open a new ticket on the bugtracker...

Done -> http://trac.mpc-hc.org/ticket/3468

[pearlblack15]

Hi, I am not sure if this could be labeled as a bug but I am having problem with the short-cut keys in MPC-HC.
The Problem is: After few minutes of uninterrupted playback, none of the keys seem to function anymore like the seeking, volume, pause/play etc. Its only after double clicking with the mouse or pausing by single click that the keys starts working again!! They will, however work if I keep using one of the keys after random intervals. There is no time frame as to when they will stop functioning.
