Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) - v1.7.13 - Page 170

That mainly happens for exact seeking, because in this case, MPC-HC tries to continue as good as possible at the target playing time, but the video will probably have a variable bitrate, so MPC-HC needs to seek from a first inexact guess (it cannot know how the bitrate is distributed across the whole length) further to the GOP starting just before the exact position, which will cost a lot of seeking operations.

Enabling fast seeking may help to get a better response, but the playback may not continue very close to the desired position according to the timeline for file formats without a feature to predict the bitrate distribution.

Well, OK ... that "one week" is already a month ago ...

Did that change, or is there an unofficial fork now?

PCU · 20th January 2018, 18:01

new fork with blu-ray support (java emulation maybe).

LigH · 20th January 2018, 18:07

Did you program any?

Or do you know any other OpenSource project with liberal license they could use? Did you even search for one?

clsid · 20th January 2018, 18:23

Unofficial 1.7.14 build is now available here:

Ohhh thanks clsid! That's great! Thanks for keeping that awesome video player alive

hi there
I'm trying to change the brightness of subtitles of a Blu Ray ISO - sub is PGS the renderer says.

Is that doable somehow? I have tried everything and none of the settings/renderer have tried affect those subs. I am reading that PGS subtitles are in fact pictures stored on the Blu Ray and as such they cannot be changed - is that true?

Any help appreciated.
Thx
Tony

@Tony359: yes, PGS subtitles are pictures, that's why you cannot affect them...the professianals who mastered the bluray should have already made a good job of making the subtitles readable

If only one movie has this problem, your best bet is probably to make a note of your current brightness and contrast settings on your TV/monitor, then start experimenting with the settings for playback of that particular movie.

You can change the palette of pictures. Same with PGS.

clsid · 29th January 2018, 18:01

The player does not have the ability to change them.

sneaker_ger · 29th January 2018, 18:03

Oh, we're talking about the player. I thought of editing the files. (I know we are in the player thread ...)

tony359 · 31st January 2018, 00:33

thank you guys for your help.

I am seeing the issue with some content and maybe it's also a matter of personal preference. My projector is calibrated, I am not going to play with the brightness to dim the subtitles!

IT IS FUCKING ALIVE!

Changelog:
* UPDATE: LAV Filters 0.70.2.3
* BUGFIX: OpenSubtitles seach failed for unicode filenames
* BUGFIX: Prevent crash for ASS subtitles with invalid (too high) blur values
* BUGFIX: Fixed DPI scaling of non-client areas in main window, if moving from screens with different DPI.
* ENHANCEMENT: Now uses external MediaInfo DLL. Allows manual updating.
* ENHANCEMENT: Now has the ability to use an externally installed copy of LAV Filters as its internal filters (if the LAVFilters subfolder is not present).
This means less duplication for those who use both. It also makes manually updating easier.
The main difference between using an internal LAV instance or an external instance, is that settings are stored in a different Registry key.
* ENHANCEMENT: Automatic encoding option for saving playlists. Uses UTF8 encoding when applicable.
* ENHANCEMENT: Split internal MPEG source filter option into a PS and TS variant.
* CHANGE: Removed DrDump crash reporter and replaced it with an error dialog that shows crash details.
* CHANGE: Option "Reinitialize when changing display" is now enabled by default.
* CHANGE: Removed an unnecessary Windows API hook. (Might fix an compatibility issue with F-Secure.)
* CHANGE: Sprinkled with fairy dust and pure awesomeness

Hi, the x86 link for this build is dead

- would someone be willing to re-up it?

It would be greatly appreciated!

Or you could switch to v1.7.14+ ... (now v1.7.15)

Downloads are in clsid's github releases.

Thanks @LigH, that's good info but I was interested in this build with regard to your post on the LAV Filters - DirectShow Media Splitter and Decoders thread - for reference:

There was a link to Aleksoid1978's diff to 0.70.2.1 with experimental CUVID H.265 10-bit decoding.

And clsid published MPC-HC 1.7.13.1 incl. a patched LAV Filters 0.70.2.3.

From there, the thread kept derailing over and over.

Any chance on someone being willing to make it available?

sneaker_ger · 24th February 2018, 23:34

1.7.15 has even more updated LAV.

So just use 1.7.15.

could anyone, make patches for my changes in mpc hc?

Zero3K · 4th March 2018, 21:40

Why is MPC-HC better at playing streams/videos located on the Internet than MPC-BE? Shouldn't MPC-BE be as good or better than MPC-HC when it comes to playing them?
