Version 1.9.0
  • Release Date: Dec 30, 2019
  • Download(s):
  • Updates:
    • Updated LAV Filters to v0.74.1-31-ge94f9
    Changes/additions/improvements:
    • Added a dark theme option for the GUI. You can enable it through: Menu > View > Dark theme
    • The dark theme also has a more modern looking seekbar. You can adjust seekbar height in: Options > Advanced
    • Added option for vertical alignment of the video. This for example allows you to have a black bar only below the video.
    • Added support for playing contents of uncompressed RAR5 archives. Previously only RAR4 was supported.
    • Added manual search functionality to the subtitle download results window.
    • Improved positioning of PGS subtitles
    • Some optimizations for subtitle texture size. This should improve performance on systems with multiple screens. And also reduce GPU memory usage.
    • Added column sorting and a search/filter option to the keybindings options page.
    • The supported languages of the OpenSubtitles/SubDB subtitle providers are now hardcoded, so the player no longer needs to connect to the Internet each time the subtitle options page is viewed.
    • Reloading a stream with CTRL+E will now call youtube-dl again to get a fresh URL.
    • Added basic support for MPC Video Renderer (https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer). What currently works with this new renderer is: Hardware decoding, Subtitles, and Pan&Scan. What not yet works is: OSD, Rotation, and Shaders. That will be added in a future update.
    Fixes:
    • Crash when detaching a (cloned) monitor during playback.
    • D3D exclusive not working anymore when transitioning to fullscreen a second time.
    • Restored window size was sometimes wrong due to DPI settings
    • Workaround for Intel driver bug where Brightness and Hue values of -100 are unsupported.

Version 1.8.1
  • Release Date: Sep 14, 2018
  • Download(s):
  • Changes from 1.7.18 to 1.8.1:

    Updates:
    • Updated LAV Filters to v0.72-12-g14744
    • Updated MediaInfo DLL to v18.08.1
    Changes/additions/improvements:
    • Added support for decoding AOMedia AV1 video
    • Added WMA to internal filters list
    • Allow using externally installed LAV Filters as internal filters when our own LAV Filters folder doesn't exist.
    • Added advanced option "AllowInaccurateFastseek", which is enabled by default. When enabled fast seek (to keyframe) is allowed to be very inaccurate (max difference 20 seconds) in files with huge keyframe intervals. When disabled the allowed inaccuracy is much lower, when deciding between a fast and normal seek. For example 30% of jump size.
    • If a playlist entry points to an URL, then display the title/label in player title bar instead of the URL.
    • Limit max video height returned by Youtube-DL to 1440 by default. Higher resolutions may not play smoothly due to bandwidth throttling by Youtube.
    • This value can be customized in: Options > Advanced > YDLMaxHeight
    Fixes:
    • Fixed crash when opening generic URLs. Was a regression since addition of Youtube-DL support in previous version.
Version 1.7.18
  • Release Date: Sep 1, 2018
  • Download(s):

    Dragging the seekbar is now much more responsive.

    For example when using any of the jump hotkeys (such as RightArrow), the maximum inaccuracy is now 30% of jump size.
    Add multiple monitor support for ICC color management.
    Changed default subtitle font to Tahoma. This should fix a problem that causes certain Unicode characters to be displayed as squares.

    It is recommended to put youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC directory or in the Windows directory (or any other directory that is in %PATH%).
