save thumbnails function is nuts. Often broken. Its working today, and tommorrow it will be crashed without possible cause, BUGS

When you save a thumbnail in Media Player Classic it assigns the letters "thumbs" followed by a string of numerals representing the year, month, day and time to create a filename, unless you manually type in a different filename. Is there any way to make MPC automatically use the name of the file from which the thumbs were created and just add a .jpg or .bmp extension? I create many thumbnail files (sometimes 100s) and this would save me an enormous amount of time. It is the only real complaint I have about MPC.

I HAVE A QUESTION!

I'm new to Vista and I can't seem to use the download for the Vista... Its a compressed zipped folder and it says I need an update my computer to use it... But I originally came looking for an update for my WMM or something along the ling to allow me to play AVI's on my computer.

Please help me, and I didn't want to rate this item but I had no other choice so I just put it as 5/5

All I really wanted was to play my AVI's !!

D;

Oh and I have many other zipped folders, my computer tells me I need to update before I can open them... If you help me with this I would be over joyed... Thank you!

everything works great, except, when i play video files from a playlist, each time a file moves on to the next one, MPC will flash in the taskbar... it doenst happen with music files though.. how can i get MPC to play video files in the playlist without flashing on my taskbar everytime a new video is played?

When will there be a MPC file position slider that is STANDARD in ALL the OTHER PLAYERS?

This is the only thing that keeps me from using this player as default. I need to review audio files fast and by position.

=zz=.

Two months and no response to security concerns, I have to withdraw my previously high opinion.

"just a simple question? is there anyone out there who can help me to remove the dropdown play list in my player?"
...
Click MPC's View menu and then uncheck Playlist.
(Or simply use Ctrl+7, without using View.)

(I wonder if I will ever get any answers, here? ;)

just a simple question? is there anyone out there who can help me to remove the dropdown play list in my player?

Probably the most flexible little player on the planet! :)

(This is probably the wrong place to ask? And probably already answered, somewhere else?)

It will play the movie below, perfectly, the first time. But then, it seems to like to jump-forwards when repeating that same movie, with the looping option? (And this is a much newer mpgs movie format.) And I am using Windows XP with the newest K-Lite klcodec375f up-grade.

(The movie's specs)
KLCP.MPEG 398KB
Audio: MPEG Audio 44100Hz stereo 192Kbps [Audio]
Video: MPEG1 Video 640x480 29.97fps 2560Kbps [Video]

This player's awsome. It takes everything you could find.

BUT, I just can't stand the booring look... so I wounder if there is any MPC-skin? I can't find any...

Any developer can add fast forward and rewind in Media Player Classic when playing mms stream? Windows Media PLayer can support this feature....

(Using Notepad on a .mpcpl file, you see this.)
MPCPLAYLIST
1,type,0 (What does that "0" mean, exactly?)
1,filename,a1.mpg (This line is obvious)
...
I've read several mpc_help files.

Great light weight player but useless since the vmr7/9 renderless mode (which are needed for subtitles) give me terrible tearing. Does anyone know if they're planning on solving this?

I love this small footprint, deceptively unadorned program. I love being able to drag a folder with nearly every format vid and even image files to MPC, confident that all will play, even flv vids.

However, I am concerned about Secunia's recent "End of life" determination for MPC. Unpatched security vulnerabilities are cited.

Anyone know of fixes out there...?

I wont use MPC.
Easy, simply ........

But wont not play streaming media like ??????.asp, ???????.pls

the errormessage:
"failed to render the file"

Hi guys,

I've downloaded classic 6.4.9.0 but when i play the dvd i hear no voice , any idea why?

@Grandaddie, source code for MPC 6.4.9.1 is available on the sourceforge.net website under the Guliverkli2 project.

@J, enable "auto-load subtitles" in MPC options. Then it will work again.

@Xtreme_techie, you need ffdshow for decoding FLV1 video.

@mec, get ffdshow.

This 6.4.9.1 is not a guliverkli version. That's why some of you are experiencing problems with 6.4.9.1 and not 6.4.9.0. Something is fishy about this. MPC is still my fav overall video player, and I'll stick to the guliverkli version.

v6.4.9.0 is able to render the subtitle for mkv files but v6.4.9.1 seems to break it.. The subtitle is not showing on the player..
Using WMP, the subtitle for the same file is working fine...

This really puzzles me...

it's very fantastic. it will be easy for a person to see a film or a video in this version of classic player

MPC is showing an error wen i try to open a flv file.Actually i used to play flv files in WMP but as soon as i upgraded my k lite codec pack n try to play it's not playing so i turned to MPC but it is showing this error plz help.........

not supported flv files always say to search flv codec where, can anybody help

John Doe, you are the stupidest person I ever come across, why don't you go back to the grocery store and pack bags (if you dislike mpc, which is free anyway, why did you give it a 5/5?). Even Windows media player needs to have codecs added for non-standard files, e.g. divx. Codecs are maintained by third parties, and get updated independently of media player. Since media player doesn't get updated that often, it could replace any new codecs you have with old ones.

Problems also occur if people have installed too many codecs / codec packs. Remove everything you've added, and then install just the bare minimum (e.g. latest xvid codecs, which also decode divx).

Gabest, I think Media player Classic is great, keep up the good work and ignore the clueless whingers (as I'm sure you do).

Why does media player classic freeze for 20seconds when i try to go move to another part of the movie and my second processor is 100%?? It started happening when i changed my memory,processor and motherboard.

Does anyone know if there is a way to use the "Save Thumbnails" feature while watching a DVD. I can get it to save images, but not thumbnails.

I use this Player a long time. but not every file will be played corectly.
i've tried the method of "kai" but the following link doesn't work:
http://www.ssvc .com/bfbs/radio/streaming/bfbs1.asx
the errormessage:
"failed to render the file"

i tried various settings, but nothing works. I'm using "K-Lite-Codec-Pack"

If anyone knows, how to play this stream, please answer me.

good player, doesn't support stage6's http streams

Works brilliantly. Love it! Simple to use, very quick and efficient.

As a new user I won't be switching to another DVD player.

goood, very goooooooooooooood

This is the stupidest media player I've ever come across. The user is responsible for installing the software necessary to allow it to play anything? Ridiculous. Either design the player to include the codecs or go back to bagging groceries for a living.

Ken- I used your method and it works! Of course I never tried opening .asx in MPC before, so I can't really say whether or not I needed to, but if anyone is having trouble streaming .asx files for MPC use Ken's method, because it's working for me right now

remember, you need good codec(s) to go with mpc. if you get failed to render file, more than likely you don't have the codec for that movie. ffdshow is the one i recommend. ffdshow + mpc will play 90% of everything you throw at it.

i get a "failed to render file" when trying to play MOV.
any solutions?

i am playing some downloded filed in MPC, its showing 'canot render the file', after running first file successfully. Please tell me the solution

need help, theres a error message that pops up when i open a file, then it shuts the mpc down and then i reopen it with the same results on the file as the first time.
how do i fix it??

how can i select subtitles in DVD movies ? because i cant ... does somone know ?

good software for watching videos

good all-arrounder player but little bit slow. any solutions please?

Bicubic not work with card supportting Pixel Shader 2.0.
But the offical 6.4.9.0 works.

loli@yahoo: All you have to do is go into options, under playback there is output, and the default under DirectShow video is Overlay Mixer. Change it to System Default or VMR9 renderless if you want subtitles with .avi videos. This should fix it.
Yeah MPC's the best.
