Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC-HC) - DXVA!

[kasper93]

It's not media player task to share files

Of course there is IRC channel, even two. #mpc-hc (general) and #mpc-hc-dev (for devs) on freenode

[MADAJ]

thank you kasper93 for answering me

what is benefit from MPC-HC Web interface ?

[vBm]

Remote controlling of the player. (there's no way at the moment to stream video, so only to play/pause/load/etc files)

[MADAJ]

OK , thanks a lot

I have the same problem as the guy you replied to: "Failed to query the needed interfaces for DVD playback" error when trying to open DVDs. I tried both regsvr43 qdvd.dll and quartz.dll. Error still comes up. Note: this is only for DVDs.

Does the settings on VSFilter color tab work? It seems to always output YUY2 to EVR.

[cyberbeing]

On regular VSFilter, the colors tab has been broken for as long as I remember. Though the reason you are seeing YUY2, is because AMD/ATI GPUs don't support YV12 with EVR, and regular VSFilter doesn't support NV12. What will usually occur, is VSFilter will take YV12 input from the decoder, and then do a color conversion to YUY2.

xy-VSFilter has a fully functional colors tab, and it also supports NV12. Though unlike regular VSFilter, xy-VSFilter will never perform color conversions.
Input format from decoder to xy-VSFilter = Format supported by Video Renderer = Output format from xy-VSFilter to Video Renderer.

Thanks, that must be the problem.

Anyone know how those PowerDVD and TMT plug-ins for Windows Media Center works?

On Windows Media Center you can add Blu-rays and DVD's into movie library but you will need a plug-in for Blu-rays, for example PowerDVD, when you launch a BD from the WMC library it opens the movie on PowerDVD on top of WMC. You can get MPC-HC to load also but the problem is that it can't properly communicate with MPC-HC to start the playback. I think it would need some plug-in that wouldn't require much code to start MPC-HC on full screen and start playback with the correct switches.

Almost got mpc-hc to load when hitting play in Windows Media Center Movie Library. Only thing is that WMC passes this to MPC-HC

"C:\Program Files (x86)\mpc\mpc-hc.exe" -embed 393972H:/AVATAR/

Those six numbers are always random.

So I would need to compile a MPC-HC build that has for example -fullscreen switch name replaced to -emblem so that is accepted and at the same time mpc-hc lauches in full screen. Other change would be to make mpc-hc to discard those six numbers in the path.

Anyone here who has everything already set up and compiles MPC-HC builds often? I could do it myself but I have VS 2012, dunno if it will work. Also it takes a while to setup everything.

Uriziel made this tiny python script you can use to strip that stuff out.

import subprocess
import sys

if "__main__" == __name__:
    path = sys.argv[2].lstrip("0123456789")
    subprocess.call(["C:\Program Files (x86)\mpc\mpc-hc.exe", path])

And point media center to that script instead of mpc-hc

Nm, I got it now. Thanks for the tip.

I have improved the pan&scan rotation functionality. With this change it is easier to flip and rotate the video. Old behavior was a 2 degree step for all 6 directions. New behavior is to take 180/90 degree steps in 3 of those directions.
Alt+2 = vertical flip
Alt+6 = horizontal flip
Alt+3 = rotate 90 degree counterclockwise

Here is changed code:

mainform.cpp
void CMainFrame::OnViewRotate(UINT nID)
------------------------------
    switch (nID) {
        case ID_PANSCAN_ROTATEXP:
            m_AngleX = (m_AngleX + 2) % 360;
            break;
        case ID_PANSCAN_ROTATEXM:
            if (m_AngleX >= 180)
                m_AngleX = 0;
            else
                m_AngleX = 180;
            break;
        case ID_PANSCAN_ROTATEYP:
            m_AngleY = (m_AngleY + 2) % 360;
            break;
        case ID_PANSCAN_ROTATEYM:
            if (m_AngleY >= 180)
                m_AngleY = 0;
            else
                m_AngleY = 180;
            break;
        case ID_PANSCAN_ROTATEZP:
            m_AngleZ = (m_AngleZ + 2) % 360;
            break;
        case ID_PANSCAN_ROTATEZM:
            if (m_AngleZ >= 270)
                m_AngleZ = 0;
            else if (m_AngleZ >= 180)
                m_AngleZ = 270;
            else if (m_AngleZ >= 90)
                m_AngleZ = 180;
            else
                m_AngleZ = 90;
            break;
        default:
            return;
    }

Anyone have a suggestion?

Use the win32 version of the DVDNavigatorPathHack.exe tool from the dslibdvdnav-0.2.4 package to restore the link to the DVD navigator filter. (use google to find it)

See this image showing how I hacked the DVD Navigator path on my system:

Clicking "restore" should revert to the system default.

@tiny:
Thanks a lot. I'll try this and report back.

Edit: I've completely forgotten about that neat little program for allowing DVD playback with madVR. I set it back to the system default. Then, MPC-HC gave me a "Macrovision fail," as expected. I switched it back to dslibdvdnav.ax in my 32-bit version of dslibdvdnav and tried again.
Left is what I get with open disc-> E.
Right is what I get with open DVD/BD->E.

The DVD drive whirls for a few seconds after showing me this, then stops.
I have Win 7 64-bit by the way. So I tried doing the same with with dslibdvdnav.ax 64-bit version, with no avail.

I have this weird problem in fullscreen, all advice is welcome.

Window: http://i.imgur.com/kBqfI.jpg
Fullscreen: http://i.imgur.com/ZV9XC.jpg

As you can see, target rectangle in fullscreen is very wrong. My monitor is 1680x1050.

MPC-HC 1.6.4.6052
LAV Filters 0.52
madVR 0.84.3

It happens with different renderers too, on all videos.

Oh, I feel so stupid now, I swear I thought I tried it.
Thanks a lot Snowknight26.

Feature request: If the file doesn't have chapters then MPC-HC should automatically divide the file into x equal chapter points. Thanks.

[kasper93]

No it shouldn't. Anyway for feature requests we have trac http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/wiki/How_to_Report_Issues

@Yoshi8765:
I'm sorry I couldn't test this earlier. I've got AnyDVD running in the background doing the decryption. If I disable AnyDVD the black window & no play problem like you're having occurs. Looks like the MPC/dslibdvdnav.ax/LAV combination doesn't play (normal commercial) encrypted DVDs without some extra help.
