I'm reposting here fallowing Liisachan advise.

I use MPC mostly for internet streaming, since version 6.485 the player couldn,t
handle the asf stream included in asx files. Prior versions works perfectly.

As the asx files are not allowed to upload, please try this links:

Well I just installed the new version of Media Player Classic that is 6.4.8.6 and the option 'Turn on "What I'm Listening To" in msn is checked now all the files I play are shown in MSN personal message even the video file names are shown there. what I want to ask is that is it in the new version or the previous version of MPC used to do this too? or is this a new feature

I just wanted to ask something regarding an annoying bug that I've noticed in MPC for a year or so now.

How come whenever you play RealMedia through it, it has this bug whereupon if you stop it and attempt to start it again, the play button does absolutely nothing? This never seems to happen in WMP 6.4 either, where it can quite comfortably stop and play again without problems.

Whether this is due to MPC or the RealMedia splitter I do not know myself, hence why I thought I'd ask.

Can someone change the title of this thread? MPC is NOT a new release of Microsoft Media Player 6.4 - the thread title is incorrect and misleading.

esby

Well the thread title is not so misleading.
MPC keeps the 6.4 ergonomy, while the other versions (7+)of microsoft somehow broke it.

I also understand the trademark problem (is it the right term here?) , beside the fact that basic users might get confused. But the basic users are also usually confused by the 'last version from <insert company name> is the best' "rule".

Now changing the topic to 'Media Player Classic thread' or something like that would probably solve any ambiguity.

Do I need to put d3dx9_27.dll in the same directory as mplayerc.exe ?

It was required with the previous version.

For several years now, VobSub transparency effects ("alpha" and "fadein/out" entries in the IDX files) are broken in both Media Player Classic and VSFilter.dll; the last working version was the AviSynth 2.0 VobSub.dll Version 2.23 from December 2002...

Hi,
@ RevMarzikins :Why does nobody ever answer my RealMedia question? I've been asking for help like a few times now.......Maybe because nobody except you encounters this "bug" ...
I just tested it myself, i can stop and then start a real-clip just fine ...

Hmmmm, looks like the latest release - 6.4.8.7 - managed to fix it finally!

Although it also displays the file information in the window this time around - just like WMP 6.4 always does with RealMedia.

Has a changelog been made available yet since I'd like to see if these two things/fixes were just implemented with this version? :)

UPDATE: Hmmm, noticed a slight sound bug that occurs when you replay the RA/RM file in the same window, whether audio or video. But apart from that it seems okay.

Hello,

i´m using mpc as the default mediaplayer. everything worked fine until during playback my computer crashed. since that, i´m not able to play any file.
i just upgraded to last version, but the error still exists.

i think a dll got damaged, but which one?Perhaps your mplayerc.ini file got corrupted (if you're using one). It's unlikely it would cause a total loss of functionality, but delete it from whatever subdirectory contains MPC anyway.

what's in a name?

28th November 2005, 19:18

I seem to have some problem with the latest media player classic versions (6.4.8.5-7)
They won't accept a video-file if I use the output method VMR9 (renderless).
VMR9 (windowed) does work.
I use windows 98SE with the unofficial service pack. But that can't be the problem because everything worked well in MPC 6.4.8.4
I use that player now to be able to use VMR9 (renderless)
Does anybody know how I can make VMR9 (renderless) work on the latest player versions?

That latest binary is crashing for me every time in vmr9 renderless even with the Aug5 DirectX 9c. Anyone else having problems with it?

I was getting "the instruction At "0xxxxx" referenced memory At "0xxxxx". the memory could not be "read"." whenever I closed a playing MPC (I'm using the latest compile by gabest).

I managed to solve it by uninstalling ffdshow (I was using 20050803).
Now I'll try a more recent ffdshow and see what happens.
Edit: It's solved completely.

All OGM video files now crash MPC 6.4.8.7. The previous version, 6.4.8.4, never had any trouble with them on any machine I've tested it on.

Whenever I use MPC 6.4.8.3 and above I get little problem with objectdock. Entering full screen mode then back to normal window makes objecdock to loose "Always-on-top" mode.

Steps to reproduce
1) play a movie with mpc
2) enter full screen mode
3) return to normal windowed mode
4) click on any other opened window
5) objectdock goes below the window you've just clicked

I tested with every version of mpc, and it only happens with version 6.4.8.3 and above.
i report this long time ago, still not fix with the latest version though.

Yep ! Ihave realised this too. I had to disabled the 'Ogg' in the Source Filters and install the standalone Tobias' Ogg Vorbis DirectShow Filters ...

Don't the corevorbis filters work? I'm using those... but not the latest media player classic.

I had met 1 ogg file in the last month and MPC doesn't play it. So I uncheck the Ogg source filter, install Tobias Directshow filter and perhaps Hali's media splitter and ffdshow is also were installed (I don't remember when I had installed them).
Then MPC plays the ogm file well. (Maybe you need Hali's media splitter...)

Ogm/Ogg files work fine here on 6.4.8.7 with MPC's own ogg filters.

Interesting glitch in mpc (new build).

Though .ass file has fractional values for borders/shadow, and MPC itself properly renders them, in the dialog window where you can arrange values for sub styles both those values are only shown as integer.

E.G. if it's 0.4 for borders in .ass subs then 0 will be shown in the box in the dialog window. It's not just interface problem though. If you click "OK" there, then the borders in subs will dissappear (since MPC thinks you entered 0 as borders width). And one have to click OK if you want to change any parameters for current style used, e.g. to move margins or decrease/increase font size.

i just relize it is from v6.4.8.4 onwards :D
guess most people don't have programs running on always on top mode
but my always on top DU Meter alway get hide behind after mpc return from full screen mode.

Since some days MPC doesn't save the file extensions anymore.
Looks like there's something wrong in the registry.

I set MPC to only play video files, but when I open these options again everything is checked.

Does anyone know what's wrong?

27th December 2005, 10:09

I just discovered something really strange. If I uncheck all file associations MPC saves this setup. But when I press the only video button, save and exit MPC, almost all file types are checked again.

I'm going mad...

Yes, something strange with that.
I have tried to add a new extension to the Directshow group named ".hdmov" , and it seem OK but when double clicking on that file Windows is searching for an app for it !
So it seems it's a bug.

File extensions don't just go into the media section of the registry, they also have to go into the Classes Root section (a .hdmov entry, and another entry telling what program to use - for this it can just point to an already existing WMPlayer link for mpg etc. Have a look at the Classes Root section and you'll see).

Could you be a little bit more specific concerning the "classes root section"?

Copy between the ********, paste into notepad, save as HdMov.reg

EDIT the program you wish to open it with (I use Media Player Classic) AND the location of the program (note the double slashes used!)(Also note that the ending two lines are blank but HAVE to be there, a regedit thing).

Now merge (right click on the reg file and chose 'merge') that reg file into your registry.

********
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.hdmov]
@="movfile"
"Content Type"="video/quicktime"

It's a bug in MPC.

I have manage to register the .hdmov, unfortunetly all of them too:
- create the '.hdmov' in the DirectShow section, then Set, Apply, OK (try it, not working...)
- go back, then push the Video button, then OK : .hdmov is registered, but all the filetypes too !!! (go back to Options, and see it for yourself)

I have tried the earlier versions but ALL of them acting strange after trying register filetypes in 6.4.8.7!

the only workaround was that I run Winamp, and registered just the Audio types in that (uncheck mp4).
So now it works OK.

(PS: I have wanted to register the .hdmov, because Apple HD trailers not generic mp4 formats. But if I enable the builtin mp4 splitter, MPC uses it for the .hdmovs too :( So it's useless. )

clsid

Use Haali Media Splitter for .mp4, that works great with QuickTime trailers (after renaming).

Have any of the Ateme beta testers noticed that, while the beta2-3 decoder connects okay to the Haali splitter, mkv files don't render properly with MPC? :( Graphedit and other DirectShow players work okay. Some mkv files seem to render normally but, if a PAR is used in either the AVC encoded stream or the mkv container, the resizing is borked! When the video first launches, there's a frame displayed before it snaps to zero size. After that, it's usually possible to get a video image by stretching the window but the "video frame," "pan and scan," "zoom," and "fullscreen" options don't work.

It may be difficult to debug this problem, given the usage restrictions placed upon Ateme beta testers. Of course, maybe Gabest could jump in and become an Ateme beta tester ;)

If you have trouble with seeking using Ateme, try remuxing the file with mkvmerge versions prior to 1.6.5.

CruNcher

3rd January 2006, 15:24

not only .mkv files also .mp4 files that are not muxed by encavc show problems in that combination the video output vanishes after the 1 frame it's funny to see but with gabest internal mp4 splitter they work fine :P

Hello I got a problem with this sample,

When comes the first sub, MPC crash with a memory read error.
the Mplayer build is mplayerc2006.03.08.2kxp.7z and with the version 6.4.8.3 all the subs work ok.

Thanks for this great player.

I downloaded the latest MPC (6.4.8.9) and it's a big improvement over 6.4.8.5 with regards to nVidia's Purevideo's mpeg-2 decoding with all the advanced deinterlacing features. It actually works now! This is thanks to the "VMR9 mixer mode" check box. If the box is unchecked nothing is de-interlaced in VMR9 mode.

However, playback is either choppy, or has tearing in it. If you check the box for "Lock back-buffer before presenting" playback is choppy. If you leave the box unchecked you get tearing, but it's otherwise smooth.

Can this be optimized any?

I'm not sure how nVidia is doing it with the "nStant Media" application that comes with PureVideo, but when I play back the same files with it, they have neither tearing, or choppiness. Of course it can't play .mkv files either. :(

Here's how I have the output setup.

I've tried using 2D and 3D textures and the results are the same.

Thanks!
