If you are a developer:
Create a patch and submit a pull request.

If you are a user:
Create a new ticket on Trac (https://trac.mpc-hc.org/report/1?sort=created&asc=0) for bug reports and feature requests.
Preferably include links to relevant commits of MPC-BE.

There are just a few developers, with limited time, and a LOT of stuff to do. The only way to get things done is to help out as much as you can.

Thanks for all your efforts, guys!

It would be awesome to get Xbox controller (or X-input) support for skipping chapters, pausing, and changing audio and subtitle tracks one day as well as fast forward and rewind.
If an Android app is good for this, then search back: I posted a modded version of Remoti.co , that does all these and more.
Thanks to MPC-BE devs, it also work with that player.

Did the git. Wouldn't build. Am I supposed to update to VS 2017?
For standalone filters, got this:

Have just checked today for an update and found that the project is nearly dead. Nah, seriously? As a long time user of MPC-HC and an (sorta experienced*)(&embedded) C coder && in light of recent lack of developers I'd like to contribute. To anywhom it may concern PM me if it's relevant still.

Yes. I've been using only mu own builds for some years now. And I go over "compilation.txt" (now .md) religiously. It seems that additional logic looking for VS 2017 paths may not be ready for prime time yet.

We had similar problems transitioning from 2013.

LigH

31st July 2017, 15:30

I mean a websuite containing also an email and an IRC client, all-in-one. The only substitutes for Opera 12 I know would be:

a) Mozilla Seamonkey: Quite complete, featurewise, but I don't really like the "brittle" appearance and the handling of Thunderbird and ChatZilla.

b) Vivaldi: based on Chrome, programmed by a team around the original Opera browser developer; but they keep adding tiny little useless gimmicks, instead of the M3 mail client etc., so I still can't migrate.

And so I will have to keep using different browsers for different purposes: One for compatible pages and my email and chat accounts, and others for picky websites. (And if they are really picky, they may even require the original Mozilla Firefox and may fail on the more secure and privacy respecting and optimized Pale Moon, only because it reports a lower version number, despite supporting all required features to display that site.)

Enough off-topic for now.

If you still use Windows XP, you have much bigger problems to worry about than MPC-HC support. And there were reasons to drop compatibility.

1st August 2017, 23:57

Anyone here happen to use Win10 Insider (specifically a version no older than 3-4 weeks, through the current 16251)? If so, I bet you're finding that MPC-HC (current version), completely out of the blue and inexplicably to me, takes about 5 seconds to start up (it always used to be more or less instantaneous).

What change in the OS could possibly cause this? No other apps that I have, including other media players, were affected, so this is very specific. It's been reported to MS, but the wheels turn slowly. It could be like this indefinitely.

clsid

2nd August 2017, 00:27

It is a know bug in the insider build. It also affects some other apps like Paint.

rseiler

2nd August 2017, 00:44

Paint opens immediately here, so that's confusing (I would think that the problem would be equal-opportunity).

MS hasn't acknowledged the issue that I've seen. In those situations, months typically transpire before they do, and then sometimes more months pass before anything is done about it. This one may be with us for a while if we're depending on MS, unless someone can figure out, perhaps, which of the 8 trillion MPC-HC settings when changed might be able to counteract it.

clsid

2nd August 2017, 12:45

With 'known' I mean acknowledged by several MPC-HC users. Whether MS knows about it, I don't know. It is your 'job' as Insider user to report it.
The slowness in Paint, is when saving images, or so I have read.

rseiler

4th August 2017, 02:35

For anyone following the mysterious startup lag in MPC-HC on Windows 10 Insider, it was somehow fixed (at least here) in 1.7.13.65 nightly.

I don't see outright reference to it in the commits, but it must relate to one of them:
https://github.com/mpc-hc/mpc-hc/commits/develop

clsid

4th August 2017, 15:21

There haven't been any changes to address that issue, so it must be a side-effect. Perhaps due to the switch to VS2017 or newer Windows SDK. Have you tried older nightly builds as well?

rseiler

4th August 2017, 18:48

Yes. I believe the most recent previous version I had tried was 1.7.13.32.

Change to non-xp compiler is major and I wouldn't be surprised it fixed the issue. No point in enumerating changes, but let say there is a reason that MS maintain separate toolchain for newer Windows version.

kasper93

13th August 2017, 22:33

Today's nightly will feature new rewritten drawing code. Improved SSE2 and brand new AVX2 version if available by CPU. Also few other related improvements to SSA/ASS subtitles.

There is still much to improve there. But I'd like to prioritize changes based on real life samples, so if you have some samples that MPC-HC struggle with please share it.

This time I tried with both a Mozilla and a Chrome based browser; but both list only the following files in the https://nightly.mpc-hc.org/ content: Info.md + log.1.7.13.79.log (v1.7.13.65 is already in the /old directory). Maybe the upload was not yet complete?

Ok, since a few days ago MPC-HC 64 takes a lot of time to open files with x264 video (be it the first file I'm opening or the second or the n-th). No CPU usage, no disk usage, just takes several seconds before the file finally plays. I'm using the internal LAV video decoder with hardware acceleration, I've tried disabling the accel, no change.

Same issue with a VP8 video I have. There doesn't seem to be similar issues with other codecs. VLC opens the same files immediately (as MPC-HC used to).

I have the latest MPC-HC 64 bits, on Win 10 Pro 64 bits. CG is GeForce 770 with latest drivers.

Any idea ?

MPC-HC launches instantly like it always has. It's just opening a x264 video that takes several seconds for no apparent reason.

I experienced the same problem recently. A clean reinstall of my GPU drivers (might have been a more recent version as well) fixed it for me, though I have no idea why exactly. You might want to try that.

ParkerLewis

15th August 2017, 22:36

MPC-HC : actually I originally was on a older version (1.7.11 or 1.7.12). I updated to 1.7.13 before posting here, hoping it would fix the problem. It didn't.
GPU drivers : same. I had drivers dating from before GeForce Experience 3.0 (didn't want to have to create an account etc). This problem made me willing to try installing the latest GF Experience + drivers. No change, unfortunately.

If that helps in any way, I've noticed with Process Explorer that whenever I try to open an x264 file, I can see a second mpc-hc64.exe item suddenly appearing in the process list, which is marked "Suspended" and stays idle. Then after 5-10 seconds delay, it disappears from the process list, at the exact same time the video is finally playing, see http://i.imgur.com/qKDFwy3.png
