Iets minder dan een jaar geleden is versie 1.7.13 van Media Player Classic - Home Cinema uitgekomen en gaven de ontwikkelaars aan dat zij verder geen nieuwe versies meer uit zouden gaan brengen. De broncode is echter opensource en een ontwikkelaar, die onder de naam clsid bij de website Doom9 bekend staat en zelf lange tijd bij mpc-hc betrokken was, brengt nu af en toe een nieuwe "onofficiële" versie uit. Deze bevatten alleen kleine verbeteringen en tevens wordt altijd met de laatste versie van de LAV Filters en MediaInfo meegeleverd. De changelog van de afgelopen paar versies is hieronder te vinden.
Changelog 1.7.16 to 1.7.17:Changelog 1.7.15 to 1.7.16:
- LAV Filters 0.72
- MediaInfo DLL 18.05

Changelog 1.7.14 to 1.7.15:
- Updated LAV Filters to v0.71-25
- Updated MediaInfo DLL to v18.03.1

This is an unofficial build. It is based on the latest source code of the official project, plus a few small fixes and improvements. And most importantly, it includes the very latest version of LAV Filters. It is unclear if there will ever be an new official release. The current project manager has said he lost interest in the project and I haven't got any further responses in the past weeks.
- Removed DrDump crash reporter
- Added support for newly added settings of LAV Filters
- Now uses external MediaInfo DLL
- Different resource FileDescription for x64 build. This name is used in the Open With list of Windows Explorer. This helps distinguish x64 from x86 build in that list.
- Render subtitles relative to the window by default. ASS/SSA are still rendered relative to video by default, because those sometimes need accurate positioning. This behavior can be adjusted in the options. This patch just changes the default value of that setting.
- Added command line switches for accessing settings of internal LAV Filters: /configlavsplitter /configlavaudio /configlavvideo
- Updated LAV Filters to v0.70.2-88
- Updated MediaInfoLib to v17.12
- Fix /open and /close command line handling
- Simplify code for setting renderer merits
- Fix explorer context menu option state display
