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

[nevcairiel]

You are not supposed to watch a video with the OSD on, whats important is how it runs with the OSD off.

Subtitles get rendered out of Air i see

microstuttering under windows is a pest for Video Playback and you need to avoid it inside your threading code as best as possible, (especially when you work with external decoder filters via directshow which have their own idea of it) you never know where a issue really comes from in Video playback

I think the most unstable Windows Rendering code though currently VLC has to fight with (last time i tested it it was a total stability messup) and it doesn't really has to fight with directshow at all.


MPV devs do much better in Windows stability

MPC-BE devs from the Ground up did it excellent and refactored MPC-HC very well, i was skeptical at first (ahh some nicer interface fork only) and very surprised over time by how everything plays out by now for MPC-BE internally as well as externally very solid

No.

lang is for language resources/translations.
Shaders is for some predefined Direct3D shaders that MPC-HC can use. See the Playback -> Shaders panel under Options.
D3DX9 is needed for some video renderers (forget which), and D3DCompiler is needed for shader compilation. These aren't needed if your system already has them.
mpciconlib.dll contains icons. See the filename: "MPC Icon Library".

Thanks a lot for keeping this awesome project alive! Cheers!

Latest stable just reintroduced this old bug

https://trac.mpc-hc.org/ticket/1567


- Sony Vaio with ALPS touchpad, Win7-64bit
- doing a "middle click" action (pressing left and right click simultaneously
- Expected behaviour in Firefox: Closing a tab, quick scroll up/down , etc
- Actual behavior: tab doesn't close, quick scroll left/right icon appears but doesn't scroll at all

MPC-HC seems to intefere with this action only on the touchpad, USB mouse behaves as expected

Stable 1.7.11 x64 can show properties for latest nightly LAV filters, just fine using the same method.

How do you access properties?

[NikosD]

Never mind.

It's fixed using latest nightly 0.69.08.

[kasper93]

Not really possible, simply it was never broken

[NikosD]

For some reason, when I went to Options -> Internal filters -> Internal filter settings and pressed Splitter/Video decoder/Audio decoder nothing happened.

With stable MPC-HC x64 v1.7.11 was everything OK using exactly the same LAV nightly.

I cannot open avisynth script in MPC-HC anymore.
I was able to backtrack to which build the feature broke though.
Everything was working fine in build 1.7.10.252, but trying to open a avisynth script since 1.7.10.264 makes the application crashes.

Please let me know if you need more details. Cheers.

Which AviSynth version? x86 or x64?

x64, I am using Avisynth+.
I'm also using the x64 version of MPC-HC, obviously

I have reported a few times this bug (?)

Whenever I choose from the Default apps of Windows 10, the MPC-HC application with all its defaults, I get this error from CCleaner of not properly registered file extensions.

Take a look here:

Take a look here:

"not properly registered file extensions" and unused ones are two different things.
Same thing happens with VLC, Foobar2000 and any other media player that plays broad spectrum of files and registers their extensions.

Anyway, you have a lot of threads on piriform's forum opened in bug section for that.

I don't remember using any of those players, ever.

But PotPlayer doesn't have this issue for sure.

[clsid]

Those registry keys are created and controlled by Windows. They are used for storing your preferred application choice and also the entries in the openwithlist. Simply browsing a folder in Explorer can cause a new extension to be added there. CCleaner marks keys as "unused" if (it thinks) they do not contain useful data.

[NikosD]

No.

The above "errors" happen only when you select to enable all MPC-HC defaults.

Same thing with PotPlayer works fine.

It is a bug in LAV Splitter. GraphStudioNext also crashes when LAV is set as preferred splitter for .avs

Nothing's stops you from using PotPlayer then...

Like i've said, from my personal tests i saw both VLC and Foobar2000 are doing the same so i'd say ccleaner is at fault there.

[clsid]

Check the contents of the Registry keys.

Selecting an app in "Default Programs" will create a subkey called "UserChoice" that contains a value "ProgID" that points to the relevant file association stub (e.g. mplayerc64.mkv).

If the file association is working, then CCleaner detection is bogus.
