I have always internal VSync enabled and then I knew if the framerate and refresh rates matched and I think something like that would be nice in MPC Video Renderer.

I only didn‘t know what the dev(s) created exactly, but for the usage I used it, it was fine. I hope that way it is clearer

MPC-BE use for some time now with great satisfaction... the other day I wanted to install MPC-HC and I noticed that the audio of the latter was weaker than that of MPC-BE, do you know what it can depend on? Volume for both 100%

Can be several things. Some I can imagine:
- Internal Filters of MPC-BE vs. internal LAV Filters in MPC-HC -> different settings possible.
- bitstreaming enabled in one of them
- custom settings in the advanced audio processing options which MPC-BE has.

mpc-vr 1286 captures a wrong screenshot of an .mp4 video with rotate meta tag. it captures 2160x1215 when it should do 2160x3840(original size is 3840x2160). i tested previous versions and mpc-vr 1285 works correctly.

Thanks - fixed.

I did some changes to the MPC video renderer:
- select the swap chain bit depth based on the bit depth of the area where the player window is located, not on the video bit depth;
- if Windows is configured to display HDR+WCG, then make the video renderer display HDR10 content as HDR10.

Regarding the first issue, I noticed that the bit depth of the swap chain was 8 bit. That's not optimal, we should be using more than 8 bit if the area where the player is located has a higher bit depth. The change I did was to pick the swap chain bit depth based on what Windows reports as the output bit depth underneath the area occupied by the player window.

Regarding the second issue, I noticed that even though HDR+WCG was enabled in Windows 10, the video renderer would tonemap HDR10 video content to SDR. The change I did was to allow displaying HDR10 media as HDR10 content when the area occupied by the player window was enabled as HDR.

What I did not do was to handle the case when the media player window is moved from one screen (virtual or not) to another, as one could be able to show HDR and another one only SDR. This would mean recreating the swap chain. Did try to do so, but likely hit some multithreading issues. This needs to be done by someone who understands what's going on there.

Would there be any interest in these changes?

Yes interesting. But i don't have HDR TV/Monitor and can't test.
You can create pull request on github.

The Main File Store is getting uploads but is stuck on an older build.

Ok, I'll work on the code to make it more generic then, and then I'll make it available.

After almost one year this is happening again.

... not sure if it's (svn) but I usually use the links in v0lt's sig for nightly builds. There's a forum for MPC-BE in Russian that can be used:
v0lt's sig -> https://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php...postcount=7378
Russian forum -> https://mpc-be.org/forum/index.php?topic=4

I had to translate but the links are here:
Ночные сборки: Яндекс.Диск, Альтернатива 1, Альтернатива 2.
Старые версии на VideoHelp.com.

Sometimes VideoHelp has the latest, and the main Yandex link is usually showing download limit exceeded so I find myself using alternative 1.

Is 1.5.5 official out? Because 'check for updates' reports 1.5.5 (5274) and there's always going to be an update if it looks for new betas.

If it was you would've seen a post here about it, 5274 is the latest beta.

As far as I can tell, 155 beta is at 5328 - the main link still has 5290 but Alt1 and VideoHelp both have 155-5328. I use the 64-bit .7z and I usually just extract fresh and move the *.ini file over to the new folder, this saves my settings... don't know if updating thru the app works as easy.

BTW, if anyone knows, is there a changelog for the betas, would like to know what all has changed?
