Windows 8 button fails with this: there was a problem loading the set a default program page. error code:80004005.
Have you enabled any formats? (the button should be grayed out if you haven't)

Have you tried pressing the "Modify" button to get elevated privileges before pressing the "Set Default Programs" button? (it worked without elevated privileges for me)

I made a test version of the fullscreen controls.

This mimics WMC functionality, which I think is pretty well thought so that you'll see where the movie is going when you fwd and can check the playtime by pressing the play during playback:
Play, toolbar 5 sec
Pause, toolbar 5 sec
Stop, toolbar 5 sec
Rewind/Forward toolbar until play,pause or stop, 5sec

This doesn't affect (I think) mouse users. In fullscreen you will only see this functionality when using remote or keyboard shortcuts for play,pause,stop,rew and fwd.

I mapped the remote keys so you shouldn't need to set those when you test this.

I'm sorry but adding visualizations would lower MPC-HC value. :)

How would it lower it? In my head it's with the same thought process that people have made alternative toolbar skins for MPC-HC. There is obviously no functional value to the toolbar looking different but it just looks nicer.

Plus it appeals to users who are coming from other commercial players and are ready to look for something that is more flexible and better overall. New people count looks as a factor whether most of us here consider it a factor or not.

I myself don't set that much value on the aesthetic design of something that is built with minimalism at the forefront but that doesn't mean MPC-HC has to be devoid of it.

How about adding an option to redirect LFE (or crossover) , and gain + crossover freq. ? I hate using ffdshow audio processor just for this.
In an 5.1 environment, all the low freq. are just sent to the satellites if using internal audio switcher.
Thanks.

We support them when they're muxed into the video file which is the case in BDs. I'll look into supporting them from external files sometime.

After 2 and a half months since the last stable build, we decided to release 1.6.5.

...um, I hate to say it, but the 32-bit build locks up tight on my XP pro system. 1.6.4 works fine.

Changing renderer seems to toggle between lockup/hard lockup/closure. Any ideas? All I did was replace the 1.6.4 executable and icon library with the new.

i have found the reason. i am using qttabbar for tabbed explorer. if i close all explorer windows then 'windows 8' button opens that page with mpc-hc visible at the top.
if there is any existing explorer window, windows 8 button gives an error and opens a blank set default programs page.

I haven't found such issues on my virtual XP SP3 installation. Are you running Service Pack 3 and have you tried updating DirectX?

This is an issue with qttabbar then. We're just using the recommended way of opening that page.

Yes to both. Keep in mind that 1.6.4 worked/works fine. Interesting note: I replaced the 1.6.5 executable with 1.6.4. Now 1.6.4 hung up. I'd previously exported the MPC registry settings to a .reg file. I wiped MPC from my registry and restored that. 1.6.4 was happy again.

Try running 1.6.5 again and afterwards export the registery key and post both the old and the new registery settings. Then we can compare the differences and see what breaks it.

Thanks, I didn't see it in the first sentence (now I do)
Next request:
There are so many renderer & vsync options, could the optimal settings for each type of video card be listed in the first post? E.g., nvidia, ati/amd 1200-4800, intel G40, current intel integrated, etc.

I don't know if they're hard coded into mpc-hc - there's a reset option, but I don't know if it is specific to each chipset. I always seem to have to twiddle with the settings on new installs, and I can never remember what works best. Also, I thought Accurate VSync was abandoned, but I just saw it enabled on one of my installs.

Thanks everyone for continuing development on this.

Would it be possible to add a command line switch to play the main feature on a DVD? Skip the warning screens, trailers, menus, and jump directly to the longest title on the disc.

LigH

20th December 2012, 19:56

Then you would have to tell the player to play which title or which PGC, exactly by number.

It is not necessarily the same on all DVDs.

You can not even be certain that the PGC with the longest playtime is always the one you want to watch.

That's exactly why I'd like MPC to figure it out for me: if it was always title 1, it's already possible with the command line (using /dvdpos 1#1). HandbrakeCLI and AnyDVD have the option to directly jump to the main feature, and I also have a stand-alone player that does it, so it can't be that hard.

You can not even be certain that the PGC with the longest playtime is always the one you want to watch.
For movie DVDs it will be the longest title 99.9% of the time. You don't have to use it, it would just be very handy if the option was there.

I've looked at the minidump, it crashes while trying to create the renderer. But it happens deep in the system, so I have no clear indication why it fails. So since 1.6.4 also fails after 1.6.5 changed the settings I'd like to see if something unexpected has changed. Could you upload those registery files?

Most of those tickets has had their source code committed to our publicly accessible repo, so the source code is available there. And since the move to github we often distribute the source code of test builds through our own developer repositories. We're not perfect, but we try.

But the thing that bothers me in this case is that this thread is not a bug tracker. You are posting builds of your fork in our thread and you don't show the common courtesy of sharing the source code. If you don't want to share the source code of your test builds then don't post them in our thread, simple as that.

The problem is that if you make a change in one of the test builds that our users want to see integrated into MPC-HC we wouldn't be able to until you release a stable. That is exactly the kind of situation that GPL was made to prevent. We share our source code as much as possible and you often make use of that by integrating our changes before we release a stable, it'd only be fair we were allowed to do the same.

But I see you've opened access to the repository and I'm sure you'll commit any useful changes from the test builds there. I hope we can now start collaborating like forks are supposed to, share the knowledge so that both players can further improve upon each other.

We're going to switch to VS2012 before the next stable, there has already been quite some work on that part. So if all goes well we'll be switching as soon as possible.

If you'd like to try it now, there's a patch in docs/patches. Though I don't know if it's up to date.

Android does the same thing, they don't publish source code (including GPLv2'd kernel parts) until well after they release a stable.

Android does the same thing, they don't publish source code (including GPLv2'd kernel parts) until well after they release a stable.They (Google) don't have to. They hold the rights to the code. They can even re-license it as they wish.

MPC-BE and MPC-HC both base their work on Gabest's GPL'd code, and thus cannot simply release a binary w/o source code (especially when asked for one).
