Download Media Player Classic – Home Cinema 1.6.8

Media Player Classic is a small no-nonsense media player with the look and feel of Windows Media Player 6.4. However, Gabest, the original creator of this program, discontinued development some time ago and several projects have been created based on this open source source code, including Media Player Classic Home Cinema. The program handles the most commonly used media formats, has support for hardware acceleration and can be used in more than 25 languages. Version 1.6.8 has been released and we find various improvements with regard to dvb-t and of course the usual bug fixes.

New:

• DVB: Show the parental rating and the content type within the EPG information when available
• Ticket #2872Add support for DVB-T2 and improve channel switching (new options are available to have a finer control on switching process)

Changed:

• Audio Switcher improvements:
  • Ticket #1936Improve the normalization algorithm to avoid huge volume variations
  • Use percentage for the boost setting since it is easier to understand for most people
  • Add a setting to change the max normalization factor and use a default max normalization factor of 4 instead of 10

• Vobsub files with language/title in their filenames weren’t auto-loaded
• Fix a memory leak: the memory consumption would increase noticeably until the file was closed when the file had chapters and the chapter marks on seekbar were enabled

• Ticket #3110DVB: Improve compatibility with some drivers for which MPC-HC failed to find any channel during the channel scan
