>As you may have noticed there was not much traction in the MPC-HC project in the recent months. We do apologize if you felt bad about that. Unfortunately, we were not able to provide as much development time as MPC-HC deserves. We believe MPC-HC is a very capable player and we want to keep it rocking for much more years to come. Sadly, currently, we don’t really have the manpower to do so. But this does not mean we want to give up here. We consider this release as a new starting point and hopefully, we will slowly but steadily improve MPC-HC.
>If you care about MPC-HC’s future, please contact us. Report issues that you want to be worked on and most importantly send patches if you can; even small changes help us move forward.
Go back to VLC? I'm disgusted just thinking about having to use that shit player again.
Why is VLC more active than MPC-HC when VLC is shit?
Mason Anderson
Because it just works. It doesn't need tons of patches to make it usable (see other players: mpv,vlc, etc)
Easton Stewart
what's wrong with your current mpc-hc install?
Jacob Kelly
Is there any feature that MPC-HC is missing that would make you want to switch?
Because it works just fine for me, it has all the features I need, and the performance is great even in my shitty Atom tablet.
Jace Watson
It probably has tons of unpatched security vulnerabilities
Angel Cox
It's going to be useless by next year when the AV1 codec ships.
Hunter Lee
>Is there any feature that MPC-HC is missing that would make you want to switch?
That's not the point. MPC-HC is on life support. We will have to switch someday just like we had to switch from Sonique to Winamp.
Gabriel Roberts
>MPC-HC is on life support. It's just a piece of software. Does it work? Yes? Then it's not dead.
>just like we had to switch from Sonique to Winamp. No you didn't. You chose to switch because of lack of new versions. There are still people out there using Opera 12 just fine. There are even people using Windows XP and 7.
Besides, the solution is right there. >If you care about MPC-HC’s future, please contact us.
Levi Cox
what patches does mpv need to "make it usable"
Carson Garcia
>Why is VLC more active than MPC-HC when VLC is shit?
because VLC is shit.
Ethan Cooper
>Just works >VLC
Jace Cooper
MPC-HC is not closed source shit though, it's also not dead.
Jace Sanchez
By 'please contact us' they mean give us money
Oliver Adams
It will die because it's Windows only.
David Lewis
Fuck I keep finding myself back to using MPC-HC because it looks nice, I don't have to spend an hour fucking with key bindings to make things work like in SMplayer, and the best part is that it works out of box with things like Taiga (While SMplayer did not.)
Anyways, it sounds like they are at least trying. So I guess we will see
Carter Jackson
>hahah fucking freetards will never get amazing software like MPC-HC or Foobar, enjoy your github drama >five years later, projects get abandoned and the software dies my face right now
Christian Perez
Huh, I thought everyone had already switched to mpv.
Leo Richardson
Good thing MPC-HC is modular so you can use external Lav Filters on it so even if MPC-HC no longer gets updated by itself you can just update Lav Filters, video renderers like MadVR or subtitle renderers like AssMod..
Owen Peterson
I refuse to fall for the mpv meme. I'll go see what alternative Madshi recommends.
Christopher Lee
I fell for it. its pretty neat, especially for streaming. no regerts
Hunter Gonzalez
Foobar is fine though
Sup Forums is full of retards who think mpv requires programming knowledge.
Grayson Adams
Nice projection there. No one but you thinks lacking a proper GUI = requiring programming knowledge.
Josiah Torres
You have really poor reading comprehension. My sentence clearly indicates I don't believe that.
Bentley Brooks
What a moron.
Lucas Smith
You're still shit at this.
Isaac Jackson
MPC-BE is always being worked on right? So what's the point of keeping MPC-HC?
Nathaniel Thomas
literally nothing
Henry Rodriguez
I literally havn't updated mpc in 4 years and it runs just as good as before. What fucking development does it need ?
Lucas James
BE is really buggy
Sebastian Lee
mpv >
Alexander Stewart
I made the jump to MPC-HC from VLC and I have to say I wish I found it sooner
Henry Ortiz
It has a proper gui play, pause, skip, audio tracks, subtitle tracks
what the fuck more do you want in your shitty ass UI?
my mom & step dad use it on their computer/tv to watch all the shit on my media server they say they love it because it doesn't have any buttons to fucking click and all they do is full screen and done
Owen Barnes
It doesn't need a GUI. It just needs a config utility that shits out the config file so you don't have edit it manually.
Jeremiah Price
mpv is literally the only player that just works. you don't need to install it or navigate complex menus, you just put it on whatever folder or drive on whatever computer you want and it will play videos.
Carson James
VLC Master Race
Christian Gray
You don't have to do anything to the config at all.
Robert Morgan
that seems kind of confining. editing the config in notepad lets me do shit like have all webms loop and only youtube streams auto-close when done.
Easton Thompson
>I made the jump to MPC-HC from VLC and I have to say I wish I found it sooner
I did that too years ago. It was like when I jumped from Winamp to Foobar2000. Truly an improvement.
I think I might have to jump to mpv when MPC-HC dies, though.
Grayson Morales
mpv is just the next stage in our evolution, you need to do it sooner or later
Luke Bell
You don't have to do anything but sometimes you want to
It's not confining at all. Having an external config utility doesn't mean that you can't also edit it manually to do more complex things. Anyway this is what people actually mean when they complain about mpv not having a GUI. So now you can stop asking 'What you need a GUI for?' every time it's brought up.
Daniel Mitchell
>mpv is literally the only player that just works. >mfw trying to watch something with mpc-hc but it LITERALLY can not play my videos after this update, even though I haven't even updated it yet
Lincoln Campbell
I just think people should give it a shot as is. I'm a dumb windowsfag that is terrible at anything that doesn't have a plain GUI. I never use a terminal or anything that needs direct input to be exactly right.
I still figured out how to make it act the way I want and copied the configs of some people off Sup Forums for the video quality. And now I've set it up I can copy the same install and config to any PC since its portable.
Alexander Gray
>You don't have to do anything to the config at all.
That's not true. Sometimes you need to customize for your specific hardware. Sometimes the default options aren't what you prefer.
A significant number of people will need to edit the config.
Jaxson Brown
Yeah, this announcement is making me take a serious look at mpv.
Justin Stewart
> copied the configs of some people off Sup Forums for the video quality. This is your average mpvkek.
Dominic Russell
>copied the configs of some people off Sup Forums for the video quality.
This is pure neet autism right here. I can tell you aren't employed from this sentence alone.
Jayden Phillips
>I still figured out how to make it act the way I want and copied the configs of some people off Sup Forums for the video quality That's the problem. It doesn't have to be that way.
>And now I've set it up I can copy the same install and config to any PC since its portable. And a config utility wouldn't take that away. It would still be the same portable video player with a config file.
Eli Kelly
no, you NEVER HAVE to do that. No user EVER has to do that.
It's great to do, sure. I don't argue it because I do it myself to mess around etc. But there is no reason you HAVE to do it and any user can grab mpv and just go
Jace Lewis
? You guys cry that mpv is too complicated and then when I explain how I circumvented that you get mad?
Brandon Flores
>no, you NEVER HAVE to do that. No user EVER has to do that.
Bullshit. The default options don't work for everybody's preferences. The hardware settings don't work optimally for every hardware config.
Adam Smith
>how I circumvented that
You only made mpv seem difficult to use by having to consult Sup Forums for settings that you had to copy to make it work the way you wanted.
Leo Hernandez
What security threats would a video player bring?
Jace Ortiz
I just keep using it since it just werks.
Alexander Long
>What do we do now
Continue using MPH-HC, you fucking retard.
Julian Ward
what the fuck is wrong with VLC
it plays videos, what else do you fucking want
Asher Hernandez
>using dead software
no, retard
Jordan Martin
So what I said was correct, you never HAVE to do it. Nobody said it was optimal, except you. All that was said is it isn't REQUIRED to do and you'll play movies fine.
Xavier Richardson
>having a dead brain
Good luck in the Special Olympics. Retard.
Oliver Flores
Literally everyone in this thread has an uncalibrated TN monitor.
Christopher Perry
Joke's on you I have three uncalibrated IPS monitors.
Cameron Morgan
Nope. Calibrated IPS here.
Jason Anderson
>using mpc-hc >in 2017
Alexander Lewis
>can not play my videos after this update, even though I haven't even updated it yet
im sorry you're retarded
Luke Barnes
Mpc-hc runs everything I throw at it, no need to change
William Ross
>using anything else >2017
Jason Martinez
Until the AV1 codec next year.
Enjoy your dead video player.
Jaxson Myers
videos that don't look like shit
Jordan Wood
>install AV1 filter >??? >profit
Henry Anderson
>mpv is literally the only player that just works. >Doesn't navigate through files in the same folder by default, you need to write a script to add videos to the playlist to do that
Christian Fisher
How is it dead since k-lite gets updated every second week?
Camden Powell
>Enjoy your dead video player. Said the increasingly nervous MPV shill for the 50th time this week.
Hunter Carter
>he needs a codec pack for his video player
What is this? 2002?
Kayden Peterson
>What do we do now, Sup Forums?
Keep using it until it breaks? Seriously.
0 development to Winamp since 2013 and it works A-OK.
William Turner
>What do we do now, Sup Forums? Read what you posted. It tells you what you could do.
Zachary Ortiz
Fuck your noise. I'm not going to trash my entire laptop just to get hardware support for watching anime in slightly higher quality on my ten year old monitor just because some bald-headed hoe is autistic about banding. H264 for life.
Ryan Reyes
>I don't have a job
I'm literally waiting for AV1 to drop in order to get my next desktop. Plus I'm holding out for OLED monitors to drop in price.
My laptop's i3 is enough.
Daniel Morris
>acting like installable codecs are a negative
Ethan Diaz
>installing codecs >2017
We use mpc-hc for a reason, dummy.
Matthew Reed
and one of those reasons is that you can install high quality codecs for any format you require and have compatibility with 15 years of directshow software
Joseph Turner
Who the fuck cares? I just update my player. Fuck adding codecs. You're retarded.
Wyatt Carter
Underage.
Nathan Gonzalez
I like it and they finally fixed the issue where my videos would play upside down from my nexus 5X
Robert Torres
>he is not using media player dot net
Kys
Dominic Lee
Can mpv download subtitles with 1 keybind and 1 click like mpc-hc ? Is there an actual playlist where i can just drag anything i want? Does it play files in the same folder even though i don't as them to my playlist?
Unless it can do this easily then there's no reason to switch off mpc-hc
Christopher Cox
MPC-HC could die today and I probably wouldn't need to switch for another decade.
Levi Davis
Why don't you just take a look at their manpage and user-script repo yourself? Nobody here is obligated to spoonfeed your lazy ass.
Aaron Lopez
>2013 Oh, user.
Angel Carter
Cause all the shills saying mpc-hc is dead. So prove it's better. I tried mpv years ago and it was needlessly striped of functionality due to non existent UI.
Landon Taylor
BUT MUH MINIMALISMUH
John Jenkins
MPV is better now. Its more than usable these days. Meanwhile, your mpc-hc has been stripped of developers so yeah, you have no future and no room to talk.
Aaron Williams
I don't understand the GUI focus you winfags have. A proper ini file is thousand times more readable and ONLY contains the options you actually changed. That makes it far easier to share and doesn't need to include hardware specific shit.
Hudson Kelly
On a related note, I use mpc-hc with SVP4 for 60fps playback. Is there something similar for VLC? SVP4 itself is a lot better with mpc-hc.
Until then, there's no reason for me to switch to vlc.
Robert Gomez
It's not about what format is the config file you fucking retarded piece of shit. You can have a simple GUI with select options which writes to txt file and you can edit it manually if you're so inclined to being a retarded "hacker".
Charles Flores
>damage control I don't mind simple ini file for controls that i need to set once or twice for my personal taste but the UI is definitely too striped of functionality for me
Jackson Hughes
>Why is VLC more active than MPC-HC when VLC is shit? Easy answer: Popular among normies and people who THINK they know shit when they don't.
They usually don't know MPC-HC, let alone SMPlayer (a GUI for MPlayer and MPV)
Oliver Watson
Is there anything similar to madvr's NNEDI3 scaling available for MPV? I thought madvr was a meme before I tried it but the difference is really visible with sub-1080p video. Sure it's gets 50%~80% load on my gtx1070 but whatever.
Lucas Young
Opinions on SMPlayer?
Angel Robinson
That functionality is already built in
Ryan Mitchell
>Last Update: 8 hours ago Neat. Probably I will move to this if MPC-HC dies.
Connor Allen
>Simple GUI Yeah, fuck yourself. I will not wade through thousands of options that a GUI for mpv would have to show just to find the one responsible for you having shit taste. It's far more easier to just ctrl+f'ing 'MADVRxDD' through the man page and adding the lines I need.
What's missing? You can do everything you need to do with the current file, you can also do whatever the fuck you want with scripts and whatever. It's not meant to be a dedicated media library. that's what competent file managers are for.
