Media Player Classic - Home Cinema ( MPC-HC ) is a free and open-source video / audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project of the Media Player Classic from Gabest and contains many additional functions and bug fixes. A fork of version 1.7.13 was created in early 2018. Since then, the developer has updated the internal libraries, fixed bugs and security gaps, and made minor improvements. The official website is not maintained, you will only be kept up to date with this fork via the GitHub page.
In July 2017, version 1.7.13 of Media Player Classic - Home Cinema was released with a statement from developers announcing the cessation of official updates. However, leveraging the open-source nature of the software, a developer known as clsid on the Doom9 website, who had been closely associated with MPC-HC development, intermittently releases 'unofficial' versions. These releases primarily focus on minor enhancements, accompanied by the latest iterations of LAV Filters and MediaInfo.
Updates:Changes/additions/improvements:
- Updated LAV Filters to version 0.79.2-19-g2bf67
- Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.8.6.2282
Fixes:
- The "Default Style" subtitle option has been renamed to "Override Default Style". Hopefully it should be more clear now what it does. It now also only affects the style named "Default" and a second option has been added to override all embedded styles of a subtitle (SSA/ASS format). The setting has also been reset (default = disabled) because too many dumb people change options that they do not understand and then complain that things do not work as expected. Just to be very clear: this option should remain unchecked if you want subtitles to render correctly and as intended by its creator.
- Mouse settings have been moved from Keys options page to a new Mouse options page. Mouse related settings have been reset.
- The modern volume slider now scales along with the toolbar buttons.
- Several small fixes and improvements.
