Download Media Player Classic – Home Cinema 1.7.17

A little less than a year ago, version 1.7.13 of Media Player Classic – Home Cinema was released and the developers indicated that they no more new versions were going to bring out. However, the source code is open source, and a developer known as clsid at the Doom9 website and having been involved with mpc-hc for a long time now occasionally releases a new “unofficial” version. These contain only minor improvements and are also always supplied with the latest version of the LAV Filters and MediaInfo. The changelog of the past few versions can be found below.

Changelog 1.7.16 to 1.7.17:

• LAV Filters 0.72
• MediaInfo DLL 18.05
• Use millisecond preview in SaveImage filename. This fixes: The “Ignore System Channel Mixer” audio renderer option was not saved

Changelog 1.7.15 to 1.7.16:

• Updated LAV Filters to v0.71-25
• Updated MediaInfo DLL to v18.03.1
• Limit inaccuracy or fast seek to 20 seconds. This also fixes seeking in files that have invalid keyframe timestamps.

Changelog 1.7.14 to 1.7.15:

• Updated LAV Filters to v0.71
• Skip seeks if duration is unknown
• Support playback of UHD Blu-ray discs. With same limitations as regular Blu-ray. No menus, and disc must be decrypted (using external tool).
• Added compatibility warning when attempting to enable “Full Floating Point Processing” renderer option
• Tweaked video renderer presets

Changelog 1.7.14 to 1.7.14.4 update:

• Skip seeks if duration is unknown
• Support playback of UHD Blu-ray discs. With same limitations as regular Blu-ray. No menus, and disc must be decrypted (using external tool).
• Added compatibility warning when attempting to enable “Full Floating Point Processing” renderer option
• Tweaked video renderer presets

Changelog 1.7.13.112 to 1.7.14:
This is an unofficial build. It is based on the latest source code of the official project, plus a few small fixes and improvements. And most importantly, it includes the very latest version of LAV Filters. It is unclear if there will ever be a new official release. The current project manager has said he lost interest in the project and I haven’t got any further responses in the past weeks.

• Removed DrDump crash reporter
• Added support for newly added settings of LAV Filters
• Now uses external MediaInfo DLL
• Different resource FileDescription for x64 build. This name is used in the Open With list of Windows Explorer. This helps distinguish x64 from x86 build in that list.
• Render subtitles relative to the window by default. ASS/SSA are still rendered relative to video by default, because those sometimes need accurate positioning. This behavior can be adjusted in the options. This patch just changes the default value of that setting.
• Added command line switches for accessing settings of internal LAV Filters: /configlavsplitter /configlavaudio /configlavvideo
• Updated LAV Filters to v0.70.2-88
• Updated MediaInfoLib to v17.12
• Fix /open and /close command line handling
• Simplify code for setting renderer merits
• Fix explorer context menu option state display
