It is famous and loved for its simple and effective user interface, providing an excellent user experience. It offers a huge amount of functionality. Being a DirectShow player, it also allows flexibility and extensibility through third party filters.\n\n## Development Status\n\nThe player is mature, stable, reliable, and already provides a huge amount of features.\n\nI currently do not accept any new feature requests. But that does not mean that the player is not getting any new features or other improvements. In fact, a huge amount of improvements have been made since I have taken over development in 2017.\n\nThere are three primary reasons why I currently do not accept any new feature requests:\u003cbr/\u003e\n1) I and my fellow developers are too busy working on our own ideas and wishes for MPC-HC, and do not have any time or desire to work on other stuff.\u003cbr/\u003e\n2) 90% of all requests are for functionality that is already available in the player, sometimes for over a decade, but users are too lazy/stupid to have a look at the options and player menus, or do a simple Internet search for help.\u003cbr/\u003e\n3) For certain extra functionality there are already good solutions available. Such as an [equalizer](https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/).\n\nThe internal codecs are developed in an external project ([LAV Filters](https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters)). That project is actively maintained, and MPC-HC will be updated periodically with the latest codecs. Same applies to code/files from other external projects that are used by MPC-HC, such as MediaInfo.\n\nIf you are a programmer and want to help improve MPC-HC, then you can do so by submitting a pull request containing your patches.\n\n## Overview of features\n\nA lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about:\n* Modern GUI Theme (Dark or Light)\u003cbr/\u003e\nOptions \u003e Player \u003e User Interface\u003cbr/\u003e\nWhen using modern theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons.\u003cbr/\u003e\n* Video preview on the seekbar\u003cbr/\u003e\nOptions \u003e Player \u003e User Interface\n* Play HDR video\u003cbr/\u003e\nThis requires using MPC Video Renderer (included) or [madVR](http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=146228).\u003cbr/\u003e\nAfter installation these renderers can be selected here:\u003cbr/\u003e\nOptions \u003e Playback \u003e Output\u003cbr/\u003e\nTip: If you want an easy to use all-in-one package that contains MPC-HC and these renderers, then use [K-Lite Codec pack](http://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm).\n* Added support for playback of many new audio and video formats:\u003cbr/\u003e\nFor example HEVC (H.265) / VVC (H.266) / AV1 video, and AC4 audio.\u003cbr/\u003e\n* Improved subtitle rendering performance, and ability to use libass. Plus support for WebVTT.\n* Ability to search for subtitles\u003cbr/\u003e\nPress D for manual search.\u003cbr/\u003e\nOr enable automatic search in: Options \u003e Subtitles \u003e Misc\u003cbr/\u003e\n* Adjust playback speed\u003cbr/\u003e\nMenu \u003e Play \u003e Playback rate\u003cbr/\u003e\nThe buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%):\u003cbr/\u003e\nOptions \u003e Playback \u003e Speed step\u003cbr/\u003e\nAdjusting playback speed works best in combination with the SaneAR or MPC Audio Renderer. These two renderers have automatic pitch correction.\u003cbr/\u003e\nOptions \u003e Playback \u003e Output \u003e Audio Renderer\n* MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later\u003cbr/\u003e\nOptions \u003e Player \u003e History\n* You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel.\n* You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown.\n* You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player.\u003cbr/\u003e\nOptions \u003e Playback \u003e After Playback (permanent setting)\u003cbr/\u003e\nMenu \u003e Play \u003e After Playback (for current file only)\n* A-B repeat\u003cbr/\u003e\nYou can loop a segment of a video. Press \\[ and \\] to set start and stop markers.\n* You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video\u003cbr/\u003e\nMenu \u003e View \u003e Pan\u0026Scan\u003cbr/\u003e\nThis is also easily done with hotkeys (see below).\n* There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well.\u003cbr/\u003e\nOptions \u003e Player \u003e Keys\u003cbr/\u003e\nTip: there is a search box above the table.\n* You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites\u003cbr/\u003e\nPut [yt-dlp.exe](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases) in the MPC-HC installation folder.\u003cbr/\u003e\nThen you can open website URLs in the player: Menu \u003e File \u003e Open File/URL\u003cbr/\u003e\nYou can even download those videos: Menu \u003e File \u003e Save a copy\u003cbr/\u003e\nTip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp, it is recommended to also put [ffmpeg.exe](https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/) in the MPC-HC folder.\u003cbr/\u003e\nSeveral YDL configuration options are found here: Options \u003e Advanced\u003cbr/\u003e\nThis includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder.\u003cbr/\u003e\nNote 1: You also need to install [Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)](https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/5/165255E7-1014-4D0A-B094-B6A430A6BFFC/vcredist_x86.exe)\u003cbr/\u003e\nNote 2: [yt-dlp nightly build](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp-nightly-builds/) (very latest version made daily)\nNote 3: [yt-dlp fork with Win7 support](https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-dlp/releases)\n* Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability.\n\n## System Requirements\n\n* Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / 11\n\n## License\n\nMPC-HC's code is licensed under [GPL v3](/COPYING.txt).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fclsid2%2Fmpc-hc","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fclsid2%2Fmpc-hc","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fclsid2%2Fmpc-hc/lists"}
