Media Player Classic - Home Cinema is een kleine en uitgebreide opensourcemediaspeler voor Windows, waarmee audio en video kunnen worden afgespeeld. Het is klein, maakt gebruik van de LAV-filters en kan daardoor overweg met elk denkbaar formaat, en zit boordevol functionaliteit. Versie 2.8.0 is uitgekomen en hier zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen in aangebracht:
Updates:Changes/additions:
- Updated LAV Filters to version 0.82-5-g77c25
- Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.7.2560
Fixes:
- Settings of SaneAR/VMR-9/EVR-CP/EVR-Sync have been moved and can now be accessed through the button behind the renderer on the Output settings page.
- Cleaned up the Output settings page and updated the tooltips of the video renderers.
- It is now possible to provide default settings through HKLM, which are read whenever creating fresh settings profile in HKCU section of Registry.
- When storing settings in INI file, the history is now split off in a separate file. When the application folder is not writable, the history file is placed in %appdata%\MPC-HC. Also added an advanced option to always use appdata folder.
- Please note that the Registry is still the preferred location for storing the settings. That has better performance than INI file. Settings backup is as easy as pressing a button here: Options > Miscellaneous > Export
- Added an advanced option HistoryExcludeFilter to exclude certain content from getting added to recent file history. It is a simple semi-colon separated list of substrings that is matched against the full path or URL.
- There also is a HistoryExcludeFilterPrivate setting with exact same purpose, which is not exposed through the user interface.
- Added advanced option to automatically prune history entries older than X days. Defaults to 365, and can be disabled by setting to 0.
- Added a new Show History entry to recent file menu. This opens a dialog for managing history entries. Allows you to search. Manually remove entries. Clean invalid entries. Clean old entries. Reset position, etc.
- When opening a selection of files from Explorer, they are now added to playlist in correct alphabetical order.
- Added "sort by date" option in playlist context menu. Note that all sort actions apply once to current list and do not have effect on future playlist changes.
- Added advanced option to sort files by date when skipping to next/previous file in folder.
- Color controls have been moved from options dialog into a new popup dialog. Accessible through the Play menu or hotkey.
- Advanced settings have now been re-ordered and grouped into categories.
- Improved performance when using libass for rendering subtitles.
- Added stack trace to internal (fallback) exception handler.
- Fixed an issue where subtitle styles changes were not dynamically applied during segment change in segmented Matroska files with ordered chapters.
- Fixed an issue where seekbar preview could show wrong edition with playing a Matroska file with multiple video editions.
- Fixed an issue where video preview was up-side-down in web interface when renderer provided a topdown bitmap.
- Fixed an issue with EVR-CP that caused still images to not render immediately.
- Improved long path support in a few file dialogs, such as "Load subtitles".
- A few other fixes and small improvements.
