Media Player Classic Home Cinema 1.8.8

[T3rM1nat0Rr3]

Media Player Classic Home Cinema, fork by clsid, is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project and provides a huge amount of features. The new Media Player Classic Home Cinema has anti-tearing options, subtitle synchronisation, support for latest OSes, 32bit and 64bit, has additional video decoders and in particular H.264 and VC-1 with DXVA support, support for EVR renderer and a lot more. But probably the best thing about this player is the range of formats it supports. It'll play just about anything you throw at it, whether it's an MP3, an Ogg, a MP4 or even a WEBM file. It supports almost all the video and audio codecs, from H.264 to H.265 (HEVC) to even AV1, from MP3 to AAC and a lot more.

Thanks to Astron for the update.

Use MPC-BE, it's based off the same source code but with lots of additions, The internal filters and much of the code comes from an original MPC-HC dev who worked on the filters for MPC-HC and left

to continue MPC-BE which was a fork that eventually was abandoned. Nightly version is below in !Last directory. Very stable and bug free, as good as any stable release.

For those using K-Lite Codec Pack 15.2.0, take note as it includes MPC-HC 1.8.8.0. 

 

@ashish1989, regarding the green screen issue, the K-Lite team has some workaround for this issue (if you are using K-Lite Codec pack):

 

This is almost always caused by a bug in your graphics driver. So the first thing you should try is updating the driver.

Here are some workarounds that may help if a driver update does not solve the problem:

• Disable hardware acceleration (DXVA, CUVID, QuickSync).
• Change the video renderer in Media Player Classic. The problem is usually only with specific renderers.
  MPC Options -> Playback -> Output -> DirectShow video
• Use ffdshow as decoder for the video format that is in the file. Use MediaInfo tool to get file details if you don't know the video format.
  Then enable resizing in ffdshow. In ffdshow video decoder configuration, enable the "Resize & Aspect" filter, and on that page choose the setting called "Expand to next multiple of: 16".

If it doesn't fix, raise the issue on any of these platforms.

p/s: Although this advisory comes from K-Lite team, but since MPC-HC is included in K-Lite's latest release, this advisory is useful.

But then, LAV filters is indeed included on K-Lite and enabled by default. You can check it through Codec Tweak Tool.

The problem is resolved now, I used video mixing renderer 9 (renderless) as output, now there is no problem in playing hevc files
