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

[GTPVHD]

https://github.com/mpc-hc/mpc-hc/commit/a80e907903a7e8ba6af91cb75ecde485a5b9ebfd

MPC-HC now requires SSE2 support, so anyone still on Pentium 3 or Athlon XP will have to stick with 1.7.11, the last version that supports non SSE2 CPUs.

[TeamRajput]

Why is there still no native NVIDIA Gpu support for MPC-HC like its other forks like MPC-BE and MPDN. I know that we can manage it by changing the name of executable but that messes up file associativity. Also is Jriver Media Center the reason why MPC-HC seems to be intentionally and purposefully not developed much in the last 2 years , as some of its contributors are also actively involved in the paid Jriver Media Center.
Seems things have been puposefully slowed down in MPC-HC development cycle order to benefit/expand Jriver customer base.:sly:

[nevcairiel]

Conspiracies, they are everywhere! None of the MPC-HC developers work for JRiver, just for the record. I do, but I have never been a MPC-HC developer. I only develop LAV Filters, which is used by a whole bunch of different DirectShow video players, and is entirely independent of the player it runs in. You should get your facts checked. :)

What does "native NVIDIA GPU support" even mean? MPC-HC works on any GPU out there. Developers don't control the profiles in the NVIDIA driver, NVIDIA does that. Just because relatively unknown players don't have any profiles, that makes them have "native" support? Its more like the contrary, isn't it.
I assume you are taking about Optimus laptops? That is done for a reason, power saving. Using the Intel GPU uses far less power and for video playback purposes its generally quite fine to run with it.

[clsid]

That isn't controlled by the player. The NVIDIA driver has a profile for MPC-HC and not for those other players (or renamed MPC-HC). The profile contains driver settings and is configured to us the integrated GPU by default. You need to edit the profile with NvidiaProfileInspector.

[wanezhiling]

Just delete the profile (Search 'media player classic') by NVIDIA Inspector and then you can configure mpc-hc to work on iGPU or dGPU freely.

Hi Hendrik
Sorry to have offended you but to be honest the msg was directed at you only:D. Yes I do mean (and have) optimus laptop(HP EnvyLeapmotion J102tx) with Nvida 750m and Intel 4600. When using MadVR with Intel 4600 anything above Lancoz settings in Upscaling, it chokes but the same runs smoothly in nvidia 750m in other players like MPC-BE where i can force it to use nvidia in nvidia settings panel. that does make a difference !!

My collection is of about 2000 Bluray Indian songs ripped personally from Blu-ray discs. These are having 2.35 widescreen presentation i.e. 1920x1080 video has in actual 1920x816 video with rest blackboxed at the top and bottom. So in order to utilise the full 17.3 inch screen of my laptop , i have to adjust cropping and aspect ratios to upscale it on the run to 1080p . Here since upscaling is REQUIRED, a better algorithm like jinc which chokes on Intel 4600 Integrated GPU is essential . Thats why I requested the need to have the support to be able to use nvidia GPU (I do have Jriver 21 also which supports Nvidia GPU)

[TeamRajput]

[nevcairiel]

And like several people have told you here - thats controlled by NVIDIA in their driver, not by MPC-HC.

[TeamRajput]

Just delete the profile (Search 'media player classic') by NVIDIA Inspector and then you can configure mpc-hc to work on iGPU or dGPU freely.


Thanks bro, I will try that.:thanks:

i noticed if an adobe air app playing video (most noticeably in windowed mode) covers the window of mpc-hc it has video tearing - exactly on the border of video window of mpc-hc (in playback or paused).
closing mpc-hc removes the tearing in adobe air app.
i tried with evr (custom) and madvr. decoding is dxva cb.
platform is win10 x64, nvidia maxwell card.

MPC-HC 1.7.11 / Windows 7 x64

hi, can anyone help, i can't load subtitles
the File > Subtitles options are disabled/grey

in the past i have changed two settings in MPC-HC:

1) Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer, to: "8:Internal Audio Renderer"
i changed it in order to take advantage of the new features

2) Options > Playback > Output > DirectShow Video, to: "System Default"
i changed it because MPC-HC wouldn't let me change any Output settings otherwise (including the Audio Renderer setting - see 1)
you see, the preselected value for DirectShow Video was Haali Video Renderer
but Haali Video Renderer is not available, so everytime i tried to change another setting (eg the Audio Renderer), MPC-HC would not allow it, giving the warning: "The selected renderer is not installed"
so i had to set DirectShow Video to "System Default" in order to get MPC-HC apply the Output settings and activate the internal audio renderer as well (see 1)
btw this should get fixed, if an average user tries to change the same setting he will never figure out that the problem is not the setting he changed (Audio Renderer) but rather the preselected DirectShow Video renderer which is set to something not available

Same happens with other applications. For example two browser windows with Flash content. It is not the fault of MPC-HC and can't be fixed. It is just a limitation of how video surfaces work in Windows.

That one works with subtitles. Haali has never been a default value.

[reqare]

The default renderer on Win7 is "Enhanced Video Renderer (Custom Presenter)". That one works with subtitles. Haali has never been a default value.
1)
Haali was the preselected value for the DirectShow Video setting when i opened Options>Playback>Output after fresh installation of MPC-HC 1.7.11

it's not that am i certain of it (which i am, 100%) but also that logic confirms it
see, everytime (on different sessions) i tried to change the Audio Renderer setting i got the "the selected renderer is not installed" error
but if the DirectShow Video preselected value wasn't already set to Haali by MPC-HC - in other words if i had accidentally manually set it to Haali myself - then i couldn't have gotten the error for more than once
because in order to get the error for more than once you have to first apply the settings - but i couldn't have applied the settings, that's exactly what the error is about :)
anyway it's obviously some programming error with the drop down menu because the player was playing videos normally which means that the actual video renderer wasn't Haali even though the preselected option was Haali
minor issue technically but i think it can cause a lot of trouble to the average user

2)
now, my DirectShow Video setting was/is set to System Default which means it is practically set to the Enhanced Video Renderer (Custom Presenter) according to what you said
but i can't load subtitles
i also temporalily changed the setting specifically to Enhanced Video Renderer (Custom Presenter)
but i still couldn't load subtitles
what else could it be? could the Internal Audio Renderer be the problem? because i don't want to change that :(

sry for the long post

[stax76]

I've integrated MPC into staxrip using the /dub and /sub command line switch, something that would be helpful is to define which audio or subtitle stream should be played, something like:


first audio:

/select a0


second subtitle:

/select s1


edit:


for /dubdelay it would be helpful if ' Xms' would be sufficient, staxrip generates filenames as short as possible to avoid to hit the 260 max path length limitation.


edit2:

to define a delay:

/dubdelay X:"filepath"

[Cyber Akuma]

I seem to be having playback issues with MPC-HC 1.7.11 32Bit version. Random MP4 files will not play, it will open the file and list the proper time... but be stuck at 0:00 with a black screen, if I attempt to move the slider, it will get stuck in whatever position I left it at, with a black screen only.

These files played fine before, and it seems to just be random which ones will and will not play, even within a whole list of files, even if the set of files are all from the same source and used the same containers and codecs. The files also play fine in VLC and Windows Media Player.

The only difference I was able to get was when I switched the renderer from "Enhanced Video Renderer" to "Haali", which gave me sound, but still no video.

This appears to only be an issue with version 1.7.11 however. When I tried both the latest nightly (1.7.14) and the previous stable version (1.7.10), they were able to play the files that 1.7.11 could not just fine. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Or has the slightest idea what could be causing it?

[clsid]

That is a know bug in the splitter (or rather FFmpeg) and is already fixed in latest nightly. It is related to how mp4 edit lists were handled.

[vBm]

Latest stable is
v1.7.13 which was compiled from e378268 (https://github.com/mpc-hc/mpc-hc/commit/e378268)

This release is a generally a bugfix release.


Highlights of this release:

* Require a CPU processor with SSE2 instructions
* Add support for AssFilter
* Switched from mhook to MinHook since it's more actively maintained
* Updated components/dependencies to their latest versions

Remember that you can help us (https://trac.mpc-hc.org/wiki/Translations) translating MPC-HC to your language.

For the complete changes see the changelog (https://mpc-hc.org/changelog/).
For downloads go here (https://mpc-hc.org/downloads/).


Don’t forget, that our official builds, both the stable and the beta builds, are digitally signed (https://mpc-hc.org/2013/02/25/binaries-are-signed/). Be aware of scams and only get the files from our site!

Also, to report bugs, suggestions and generally provide feedback, use our Trac (https://trac.mpc-hc.org/); reporting anything on social media or in any other place is just pointless, as the developers only follow Trac.

You can download the new version here (https://mpc-hc.org/downloads/). For the complete changes see the changelog (https://mpc-hc.org/changelog/).

[v0lt]

Thank you.

[lvqcl]

Downloads (https://mpc-hc.org/downloads/) page still has "SSE capable CPU" requirement, but MPC-HC now needs SSE2.

[AngelGraves13]

So MPC HC is dead?

[LigH]

... unless someone adopts it (https://mpc-hc.org/2017/07/16/1.7.13-released-and-farewell/).

[nevcairiel]

MPC-HC development hasn't been very active for quite a while now, so its not like MPC-HC just ceases to function over night just because of an announcement. The core functionality is pretty stable, and you can continue to use it with external filters without any downsides (like LAV and madVR).

[AngelGraves13]

I tried MPC-BE but it can't keep sync with audio for some reason, so MPC HC is my only program to play media files.

While we don't really need new features...Updates to MediaInfo and LAV Filters are important, especially for newer files.

[clsid]

The player itself is stable, mature, and works fine.

I will make fresh builds with updated components in the coming future if there really won't be any official ones anymore. I got a few bug fixes as well that haven't been committed to main repo yet.

The player is still installed on my system, though it was dead 2 years ago...
Thanks to all devs.

A pity the bug with OGG files not displaying tags in the information bar hasn't been fixed :(

It was reported here:

And every other major player can do it...

[sneaker_ger]

Did you ask LAV dev about OGG tags? Maybe not MPC-HC problem.

MPC-HC 1.7.13.1 Build 2017-07-17

IT IS FUCKING ALIVE!

Changelog:
* UPDATE: LAV Filters 0.70.2.3
* BUGFIX: OpenSubtitles seach failed for unicode filenames
* BUGFIX: Prevent crash for ASS subtitles with invalid (too high) blur values
* BUGFIX: Fixed DPI scaling of non-client areas in main window, if moving from screens with different DPI.
* ENHANCEMENT: Now uses external MediaInfo DLL. Allows manual updating.
* ENHANCEMENT: Now has the ability to use an externally installed copy of LAV Filters as its internal filters (if the LAVFilters subfolder is not present).
This means less duplication for those who use both. It also makes manually updating easier.
The main difference between using an internal LAV instance or an external instance, is that settings are stored in a different Registry key.
* ENHANCEMENT: Automatic encoding option for saving playlists. Uses UTF8 encoding when applicable.
* ENHANCEMENT: Split internal MPEG source filter option into a PS and TS variant.
* CHANGE: Removed DrDump crash reporter and replaced it with an error dialog that shows crash details.
* CHANGE: Option "Reinitialize when changing display" is now enabled by default.
* CHANGE: Removed an unnecessary Windows API hook. (Might fix an compatibility issue with F-Secure.)
* CHANGE: Sprinkled with fairy dust and pure awesomeness

What's the advantage? I can see that software should be downloaded from a trusted source but what if the trusted source is hacked?
