They also play if I double click them in an administrator account. So I wonder if it has something to do with permissions concerning MPC-BE.

Please note that if I use VLC in a standard user account and set the .avi association to VLC, then the .avi files open with VLC by double clicking them!

I tried running MPC-BE as an administrator in my standard user account, but then I cannot change the file association settings in Options, because I press the Administrator "Modify" button in the Options window and a copy of the Options window is opened where the .avi setting is already ticked. So it's not or cannot be updated for my standard user account.

I'm running Windows 10 Pro x64 v.2004 with MPC-BE 1.5.5 build 5274.

Use latest SVN version - https://yadi.sk/d/AjAXDDHtHRIELg/Beta%20(Nightly)/1.5.5
Use installer.

Thank you for the link. I installed it, but unfortunately it didn't work, even after I rebooted the PC. I still get a copy of the Options window when I click on the Modify associations button and therefore I cannot change the .avi option.
Please note that I also tried resetting the options on the installation dialog.

After you set association - do you see System Dialog and select MPC-BE as video player ?

BTW, I am using the latest version 1335 for testing.

I can’t confirm.
Win8.1x64, GTX 950, MPC VR 0.4.6.1337, MPC-BE 1.5.5.5330.

I do, but MPC-BE is already selected as my video player and also in the file types settings .avi is associated with MPC-BE.

EDIT: I notice that right clicking a .avi file doesn't open it if the file association is for MPC-BE, but as I wrote before it does open with the Open With context menu.

EDIT 2: I don't know if it helps, but the same problem exists with .mkv files. Also the Options dialog has a number of file associations ticked in grey and others in black (that's the dialog that opens after I click on the Modify button.

Not sure if subtitle is another condition that can trigger it, need to confirm by more test cases, which will have to wait until tomorrow.

Another difference is I was using Intel's integrated video card for playing back.

Is there a combined installer for mpc-be and mpc-video-renderer and if not, do you plan to create one?

Not currently planned.

Try deselect all problem format, associate, then select again and associate again.
I have never encountered such problems.

Also - in explorer in context menu, open with - select mpc-be and all

Hmm... I tried everything you suggest, but with no luck. The odd thing is that the file icon changes to that of MPC-BE, but the file doesn't play with the Open command. Only with Open With.

Additionally, VLC does work as would be expected even though I use a standard user account. MPC-BE works as expected only if I use an administrator account!

You are not lucky

I may reinstall Windows as a last resort.

Go to Default Programs in Window settings. There you can set the player as default for regular user.

In the past the recent files where not shortened with "..." in the pathname, if the path is longer than a specific value. Was there a recent change in the last 2 weeks or so?

Just confirmed that 1337 has no problem. Appreciated to the developers for bringing us such good renderer.

It was earlier, but not for all paths. After r5252 done for everything.

[Klaus1189]

Would you mind to bring it back? I like it more if the path is fully displayed, probably a checkbox or anything to have a choice maybe? Would be nice.

The odd thing is that it is actually shown in Default Programs as the relevant video player. In the context menu Open entry or double clicking a file does nothing.

MPC Script Source 0.1.0.76
DirectShow source filter for AviSynth and VapourSynth scripts.

I have encountered a strange sync issue. I use latest compiled 1.5.5.5337 nightly build and latest MPC VR nightly build and encountered an audio offset, but only when using MPC Audio Renderer. If I choose Directsound and watch the same video it is fine. Using madvr in MPC-BE does not change anything.
Also in Firefox on youtube it is in sync, I think it also uses directsound.
I downoaded this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNH__YaZC0U
-> Especially at the end you can clearly see the sync issue watching the bow and hearing the differing audio.
Setting it up to about -120 ms solves it also, but is only a workaround.

EDIT: just upgraded to 5339, same.
