Changes for v1.6.8 - v1.7.0

  • Replace the internal filters with LAV Filters. LAV Filters are modern open source DirectShow filters based on FFmpeg. They are known to be reliable and fast and overall should be more stable than the old filters. MPC-HC integrates LAV Filters directly and no extra installation steps are required. The embedded version of LAV Filters doesn’t interfere at all with other installed DirectShow filters (including the standalone versions of LAV Filters).
  • Support loading HTTP/RTSP/UDP/RTP streams using embedded source filters
  • Windows 8.1 support.
  • Many more bugfixes and improvements, check the changelog for details.

Changes for v1.6.1.4235 - v1.6.2.4902

  • MPC-HC is passing through very hard times. We never had many developers and a couple weeks ago
  • the main developer who was responsible of maintaining our internal filters code base decided
  • to stop contributing to MPC-HC and to create a new fork of the project based on a different,
  • more closed, style of development.
  • Now we are in dire need of new developers of any kind. If you can code a little, or you can create
  • logos for the player and images for the file associations, or you can create/maintain the main
  • website, please join our IRC channel and talk to us. If you think your skills are lacking,
  • let us be the judge; any help is always appreciated.
  • Find some easy ticket on our trac page, fix the problem, post the patch on trac or come on IRC
  • and we'll review it for you.
  • We care about keeping an open project open and free for contributions wherever they may come from.
