1.9.14
Changes from 1.9.13 to 1.9.14:
Updates:
- Updated LAV Filters to version 0.75.1
Changes/additions/improvements:
- Some optimizations in the filter graph builder. Should give a small reduction in file loading time in some situations.
- Added a small safezone above and below the seekbar where (accidental) mouse clicks/drags are ignored.
- Improved backwards framestep for DVDs. It now seeks back ~500ms to ensure it shows a different frame. The DVD Navigator unfortunately does not offer better accuracy.
- Improved region code handling for DVDs
- Added support for loading external fonts for SSA/ASS subtitles. The player check for "fonts" subfolder in location of video file.
Fixes:
- Fixed regression that broke loading of audio dub through command line parameter
Development Build
Below are development builds for testing purposes.
Latest development build: 1.9.13.37 (June 28th 2021)
Latest stable release build: 1.9.13
https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases/tag/1.9.13
1.9.13
Changes from 1.9.12 to 1.9.13:
Fixes:
- Fixed bug that could result in very low quality subtitles in certain situations. [regression in 1.9.12]
- Fixed video display issue when moving the player to a larger resolution monitor. [regression in 1.9.12]
- Fixed "launch in fullscreen" option not working when D3D fullscreen exclusive mode was enabled.
- Fixed issue where a chosen audio dub was not loaded when opening a video through the File menu.
- Fixed a rare player freeze when manually loading subtitles. Could happen on very old systems if subpicture texture allocation failed.
1.9.12
Changes from 1.9.11 to 1.9.12:
Changes/additions/improvements:
- Changed default setting for subtitle texture resolution. This change only affects playback on screens with 4K resolution. In that case subtitles are now rendered at 1080p resolution (and then scaled to final size). This improves performance on such systems. You can of course change the setting to 4k if you prefer slightly sharper subtitles.
- Some improvements related to the youtube-dl support.
- Added support for downloading subtitles for streams extracted by youtube-dl. You can specify desired subtitle language(s) here: Options > Advanced
- Strips html tags when found in SRT subtitles.
- Added prompt when enabling OpenSubtitle option, mentioning than an account is required on their website.
- Removed SubDB subtitle provider. Their site has been offline for a long time.
- Removed obsolete RealMedia and QuickTime decoding frameworks. These frameworks were only available in 32-bit builds, and they were not used by default. For a long time already, these type of files are played using the superior internal DirectShow codecs. So nothing really changes and you can still play everything!
Fixes:
- Fixed issue where recent file list could get cleared when opening a file with a very long path.
- Several other small fixes and improvements.
Note:
1.9.12.4 hotfix resolves two regressions that occurred in 1.9.12:
- Low quality subtitles in certain situations
- Video display issue when moving player to a larger resolution monitor
1.9.12.10 has some additional fixes:
- Fixed a rare player freeze when manually loading subtitles. Could happen on very old systems if subpic texture allocation failed.
- Fixed "launch in fullscreen" option not working when D3D fullscreen exclusive mode was enabled.
- Fixed issue where a chosen audio dub was not loaded when opening a video through the File menu
Development Build
Below are development builds for testing purposes.
Latest development build: 1.9.11.59 (May 25th 2021)
Latest stable release build: 1.9.11
https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases/tag/1.9.11
1.9.11
Changes from 1.9.10 to 1.9.11:
Updates:
- LAV Filters version 0.75-2-gddef5
- MediaInfo DLL version 21.03
Changes/additions/improvements:
- Added basic support for embedded WebVTT subtitles
- Seek preview window now uses same aspect ratio as the video
- After long pause (> 10 min) or hibernation, the player now performs a seek to current position before resuming. This re-initializes the video decoder, and hopefully solves a hang/crash on certain systems (with buggy graphics driver).
- Some improvements for the youtube-dl functionality. It now also supports DASH manifest URLs.
Fixes:
- Fixed subtitle regression that could cause subtitles to be skipped in certain situations when multiple lines were visible
- Fixed issue with seeking to nearest keyframe
- Fixed issue where the seek preview window broke the "always on top" functionality
- A few other small fixes
Development Build
Below are development builds for testing purposes.
Latest development build: 1.9.10.80 (April 9th 2021)
Latest stable release build: 1.9.10
https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases/tag/1.9.10
1.9.10
Changes from 1.9.9 to 1.9.10:
Changes/additions/improvements:
- Some optimizations for the seek preview functionality
- Seek preview now gets hidden when dragging the seekbar
- Renamed "System Default" video renderer to "Video Mixing Renderer 7". This to prevent people from thinking this ancient renderer is the preferred one. Also changed order of the available renderers to put the recommended ones at the top.
- The player now tries to parse JSON output from youtube-dl even when that has encountered an error. This fixes loading of youtube playlists that contain deleted videos.
- Added a timeout in LAV Splitter code to prevent the player from freezing in case of certain network connection errors during playback of online streams
- Added support for text color tags in WebVTT subtitles
- Subtitle render buffer is now disabled by default. It doesn't provide any noticeable performance benefit for most users.
- A few other small changes
Fixes:
- Fixed subtitle text encoding bug that caused wrong characters to be displayed (regression in 1.9.9)
- Fixed issue that caused wrong keyframe to be show in seek preview window. Now a seek will go to the same frame as shown in the preview.
- Fixed issue in sub picture buffer implementation that could result in reduced rendering performance for animated subtitles in certain cases
- A few other small fixes
Development Build
Below are development builds for testing purposes.
Latest development build: 1.9.9.45 (February 23rd 2021)
Latest stable release build: 1.9.9
https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases/tag/1.9.9
1.9.9
Changes from 1.9.8 to 1.9.9:
Updates:
- Updated LAV Filters to 0.74.1-92-g88da5
Changes/additions/improvements:
- Added video preview functionality to the seekbar
You can enable this in: Options > Tweaks
For performance reasons, preview is only shown in case of local file playback. It is disabled for online streams and spinning discs.
Preview is currently also only enabled for files that have keyframes for fast seeking.
To avoid interference with the main video playback, preview does not use hardware accelerated decoding.
Don't enable preview if you have a slow computer that already struggles with normal video playback. - Added menu entries and hotkeys for toggling shaders on/off
- Added support for CUE sheets
- Increased default value for number of recent files that is remembered from 20 to 40
- Reduced minimum allow playback rate from 0.125x to 0.05x
- Some seeking improvements. Unprocessed seeks can no longer queue up when seeking is slow.
- The internal audio renderer can now fallback to default audio device if it fails to initialize the output device that is selected in the options
Fixes:
- Fixed some issues with parsing M3U playlists
- Fixed issue with opening online .asx playlist
- Fixed GDI resource leak in dark theme
- Fixed hang with MPC Video Renderer if max subpic texture size was set to VIDEO
- Fixed automatic metadata based rotation with MPC Video Renderer
- Several crash fixes
- Several other small fixes and improvements
