Software-update: Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 1.6.6.6957

Media Player Classic is een kleine no-nonsensemediaspeler met het uiterlijk van Windows Media Player 6.4. Gabest, de originele maker van dit programma, heeft de ontwikkeling echter alweer een tijdje geleden gestaakt en er zijn verschillende projecten ontstaan op basis van deze opensource broncode, waaronder Media Player Classic Home Cinema. Het programma kan overweg met de meest gebruikte mediaformaten, heeft ondersteuning voor hardwareacceleratie en is in meer dan 25 talen te gebruiken. Hieronder is het changelog voor versie 1.6.6 te vinden.

New:

• Formats: The space key can now be used to enable/disable formats
• Miscellaneous: Add button to export key bindings
• Add the ability to choose the scale factor (relative to the screen size) for the auto-fit zoom
• Internal Subtitles Renderer: Show all subtitles tracks in the Play -> Subtitles menu. That includes all the embedded tracks exhibited by the source filter and the external tracks.
• Add a new shader that over brightens with gradient from the bottom to the top of the screen. It needs LCD monitors with low viewing angle (~170/160).
• DVB: Remember audio and subtitle track selection.
• Add an OSD reminder when Escape is pressed in D3D Fullscreen
• Ticket #649, Add RARFileSource as an internal filter. Allows rar files without compression to be played without unpacking them.
• Ticket #899, DVB: Add signal statistic to the status bar
• Ticket #1025/#1054, Add the ability to select the default track directly by its number in MPC-HC and the standalone MPEG Splitter
• Ticket #2050, Add Romanian translation
• Ticket #2905, Support DTS-HD and E-AC3 passthrough
• Ticket #2935, Add support for sending “Now playing” information to Skype

Changed:

• UI: Use a more native look and feel for the options dialog tree
• More resilient support for MPL2 and SRT subtitles formats:
  • Ticket #2779, Support MicroDVD tags in MPL2 subtitles files. This is normally not supported but MPL2 files that use MicroDVD tags for formatting are quite common.
  • Support SRT files with missing millisecond part in the timecodes.
• Re-enable the option to bypass the DVD/BD path selection. The user won’t be asked to choose the location of the DVD/BD player (or folder) when this option is enabled.
• Changed default D3D Fullscreen hotkey to Ctrl+Alt+F
• Disabled Frame Time Correction hotkey by default
• DVB: Some filters that are known to be incompatible with the BDA source filters are now blacklisted
• External filters: Use two separated lists for x86 and x64 since x86 filters only work with MPC-HC x86 and vice versa
• Ticket #978, Apply the “Repeat” option after “Play next in the folder”: the option will now take effect after the next file in the folder was played (similarly to what happens for playlist items)
• Ticket #1620, UI: Use the new styled radio bullet for menu’s items
• Ticket #2878, Removed obsolete MSN Messenger support
• Ticket #2924, Use the current file directory as default folder for the “Load Subtitles” dialog
• Ticket #2947, VSync is now disabled in the default renderer settings
