When I use D3D fullscreen mode, sometimes other programs may popup windows. As a result, the screen is blinking and the keyboard shortcuts become unusable.
And I have a feature request. I want the Play/Pause, Close File and Close MPC button in D3D fullscreen bottom bar.

Try double left clicking around on the screen (in different places) until the flickering stops. It seems bring MPC-HC back to the front.

Has all official development on MPC stopped? The last build is pretty old.

Feature request: when we use SPDIF, MPC loses its ability to control the sound volume. Would be great if MPC could detect if an AC3/DTS filter (set to SPDIF) is in use, and so change the volume engine to the 'Windows main'.

...thought I'd throw out my 3 biggest "wishes" for MPC...

1) User-definable icons for file types (best part of GOM is the icons)
2) Some way to fully prevent ActiveMovie window
3) PowerDVD-like file access speeds (or is it direct writes to the display adapter?)

Yeah I agree, sometimes mplayerc is a bit slower at starting to play the files

if someone has time... lol (and the know-how), maybe the internal filters can be updated, as well as the base source code to include all the sse etc optimisations that its missing...?

Sirber · 1st August 2007, 14:38

Not sure if it's ffdshow related (like only 1 max loaded filter) while vista is trying to make a screenshot of all your files.

clsid · 1st August 2007, 15:51

Windows also tries to show some info (resolution, bitrate, etc) in the statusbar when you select a video file in Explorer. That also causes slowness.

Unregistering shmedia.dll solves that. It will also disable thumbnailing though.

FredThompson · 1st August 2007, 23:42

wrt, my post a few back, ALShow plays HD just fine and has its own icons to indicate file types but nowhere near the codec configuration of MPC. Still prefer MPC if at all possible.

tebby · 3rd August 2007, 10:13

I have noticed distortion or clipping in mp3s when audio switcher filter is on. Has anyone else noticed this?

MasterNobody · 5th August 2007, 23:32

MPC freeze when trying to play DVD (or any VOB-file) with Haali's Video Renderer as output (MPC HC v1.0.9.0; Haali's Video Renderer 03/06/2007). No such problems with Zoom Player WMV Pro v5.00 and Haali's Video Renderer 03/06/2007.

CLSID just did a patched build of MPC to include the later updates. I take it these will be included in MPC HC at some stage?

adding those patches would be nice!

Jeremy Duncan · 9th August 2007, 00:12

I've done screen shot comparisons of the Vista Default, Overlay and EVR to see the color difference and saw no change.
This is in Vista Premium.
Am I supposed to install some other software so that EVR will work ?

Tzim · 12th August 2007, 10:06

MPC HC Hangs or Freeze when seeking on DVDs (or Vobs) when using EVR (it works OK with VMR9).
I'm using XP x64, ffdshow-tryout beta3 for MPEG2 decoding, deinterlacing and resize.

By the way, thanks for the good work.

Don't understand - if you're getting a picture, EVR is working by definition.

Well, shouldn't the color be different if I use evr, compared to overlay or vista default ?

I read in the other mpc thread, clsid's, that the d3dx9_24.dll was used.
Am I supposed to use this .dll in vista.
I tried to register the dll but I couldn't.
I downloaded and installed the latest directx sdk, but I don't know if I'm still supposed to register the dll ?

foxyshadis · 13th August 2007, 05:09

It's the video driver that does the YUV->RGB conversion, not MPC, so you're totally at its mercy.

The dll just has to be on the path somewhere, I think, it's not a COM component. The system32 folder is the usual place for them.

Atak_Snajpera · 14th August 2007, 17:18

I see difference between EVR and system default. When I use EVR black is finally black. If I use System Default I have dark grey instead of pure black. I wonder why EVR is not selected by default on VISTA?

I know this discussion was rather old, but some people said saving settings to an .ini was much slower than to the registry. Others doubted that.

But since the registry is an indexed database, you can access any value without the need for parsing a file which indeed makes it faster.

raynor · 17th August 2007, 00:39

The Player should behave correctly if the user does not want it to keep any
file histories. The Original MPC does.

The Mod, even with "Remember File Position" disabled,
still saves the last 4 recently used files in the registry (or the INI file):

File Name 1=...
File Name 2=...
File Name 3=...
File Name 4=...

Please don't save any recently used files if both
"Keep History of recently Opened files" (Options-->Player) and
"Remember File Position" (Options-->Miscellaneous)
are disabled.

It's got to do with privacy and stuff ... you know ...

Again, this is only the behavior of the Homecinema Mod,
while the original MPC "respects" your privacy

I guess this behavior was introduced together with the added
"Remember File Position" option. But if this option is
DISABLED there is no need to remember any prevoius files
(or positions within those). This should only happen if the user
decides to enable the checkbox.

Please change this,
